"ABC 20/20 John Stossel's Give Me A Break on Global Warming" - Video Descrip

Interesting little video.  When you analyze the desires of the environmentalists, it really seems to me like they aren't so much pro-environment as they are anti-business or anti-industrialization.  They want to deny us our energy that is necessary to grow our economy and our GDP and raise our standard of living.

The overwhelming consensus of climatologists publishing in peer-reviewed journals is that global warming is real, and caused largely by human activity. But a great many non-peer-reviewed papers exist - junk science, in other words. Grist for political advocates of doing nothing. Don't cite pseudo-science in rebuttal, you'll be wasting your breath. Stick to the peer-reviewed stuff.
