Reader Mike sends news that Global Warming might not be caused by man after all: Mars Melt Hints at Solar, Not Human, Cause for Warming, Scientist Says. But it's hilariously treated with kid gloves by the media. First paragraph:
Simultaneous warming on Earth and Mars suggests that our planet's recent climate changes have a natural - and not a human- induced - cause, according to one scientist's controversial theory.Heh. So one scientist has a controversial theory that the source of all our power (the sun) might be responsible for warming the Earf. Let the stoning begin:
[Habibullo] Abdussamatov's work, however, has not been well received by other climate scientists.How dare he question mainstream scientific opinion. If a majority of people agree that the sun revolves around the earth, it must be true."His views are completely at odds with the mainstream scientific opinion," said Colin Wilson, a planetary physicist at England's Oxford University.
"And they contradict the extensive evidence presented in the most recent IPCC [Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change] report."

Every thing I read about global warming makes me think of the old saw, "A thousand uninformed opinions count as one."
