Macdonald,

    The point of my post wasn't about whether or not there is global
warming, but about the absurd economic reductionist methodology that was
proposed in the previous one, as well as the "great nation" chauvinist
economist blindness that allows one to immediately spot how the coal bosses
would use one scientific hypotheses to their benefit, but does not allow the
same individuals to see how the imperialist bourgeoisie as a whole uses the
alternative hypotheses to further its goals of subjugating the vast majority
of humanity.

    As for the global warming discussion itself, experience has taught me
that there are very few people on this list who approach scientific
questions in anything like the same way I do, and that absent that, the
discussion is pointless.

Right... because, as the old saying goes, "all truth moves through
three stages..." and we are currently in stage three. It's not as if
there is any benefit to the ruling classes of any country, least of
all in North America, to make this stuff up. Precisely the opposite.
Allow yourselves to look at this story, as always capitalist
destruction hits the same disenfranchised peoples first...
