Glad to see that what I have been saying for years is now going mainstream.

I like your definition of mainstream:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_opinion_on_climate_change
Since 2007 no scientific body of national or international standing has maintained a dissenting opinion. A few organisations hold non-committal positions.

It's well documented that the editor of the global warming portions of Wikipedia is a follower of global warming dogma.  Do a search on this fact if you don't believe me.  Quoting Wikipedia on anything is grounds for failure in and of itself (not to mention laughs), but especially on this issue.

Look, I agree that Wikipedia is far from a paragon of neutrality on some issues, global warming very notably among them.  But this is a simple statement of fact that IF UNTRUE ought to be easily proven so.  And if it's NOT untrue, then your complaint is irrelevant.  

Please put up or shut up.   

Well the article he posted seems to suggest that some groups disagree, no?

Largely the problem is... when people disagree they are kicked out... or ignored.  Like the UN report everyone likes to claim... where a large number of people claimed the results weren't accurate and changed to be sensational.  They wanted their names off the paper.  Didn't happen.  Few people even bothered to cover the fact that a decent amount of the scientists wanted out.

Focusing on alternative energy and getting people to conserve are universally good things afterall.  Scaring to get people there not so much.

But think about it.  What happens if Man Made Global Warming gets debunked like Man Made Global Cooling?

No pressure put on auto industries to develop alternative fuels, no pressure on anyone, less funding (and it's not funded enough as it is) less demand... all and all alternative energy grinds to a halt.  People start burnging oil again like crazy.

We hit peak oil eventually and have to resort to more and more costly measures to get oil and have to restart the alternative energy research.,, if people are even willing to beleive in peak oil.
