AGW = Anthropogenic Global Warming = Man-Made Global Warming
Well, the basic idea is that there are a few assumptions that have to be made for a person to believe the AGW mantra:Originally Posted by AxleIke
1) Man is directly responsible for the current climate changes occurring.
2) The climate that we currently have around the world is the best one, hence we would not want it to change to any other state.
The first assumption is severely suspect in my opinion, especially since the "largest problem" according to the AGW advocates is CO2, which is not anywhere close to the largest greenhouse contributor (the largest one BY FAR is, you guessed it, water vapor).
The second one is such a basic question, it seems no one has even asked it: how do we know the climate changing would be a bad thing? I think this question speaks for itself, people fear change, although the only constant in the universe is that EVERYTHING changes. In years past, warming has been accompanied by longer growing seasons, and greater overall productivity around the world...
