It's obviouos that the earth is warming! YEAH! a revelation! But, it seems to do that on its own at regular intervals. And - while the current average temperature is HIGHER than the average, its still lower than its peak.

And yes while parts of the polar caps are shrinking (something one would think normal in between ice ages as we are near the middle) other parts of those same caps are increasing.

As for the FED not wanting infomation about Global warming/cooling being fed to the populous.. well what would you expect? They don't want you to know either way. THEY ALL LOOSE either way... A) big business (as you say) looses cause of tightened restrictions - profits decrease with expenses.. ok i get that. B) what about the special interest groups and thousands of environental study groups raking in billions of dollars a year? what happens to that lobby (every bit as powerful as big business by the way) if a so called solution is reached on global warming?

As for CO2 emmissions.. one thing is certain. They are increasing. But, overall the CO2 levels on earth have been decreasing for quitre some time. Thus - the cooling periods the earth has passed threw. Anyone know the COs levels during the dinosaur period?

But, is CO2 a bad thing? From everything I've read, seen, heard during the time of the dinosaur - the earth was covered in vegitation, animal life was abundant and food for all beings was pleantiful. Perhaps the decrrease in global vegitation is do to TOO much CO2?

Perhaps the next theory - will be that the earth isn't making enough CO2 - so we need to invent ways to man make more CO2. That will get the money flowing into the science community wont it?

Thing is - no one - not the GLOBAL WARMING community nor the NOT GLOBAL WARMING communtiy really knows anything for ceertain. ALL their theories are will - just theories. No one has proven anything yet. So, since I, like (probably all of) you am not a climatologist, I will hold off judgement on which side is right, untuil one side or the other provides indisputable evidence.
