So we will have an initial skepticism. But we need to make sure it is justified. Lets make sure we are destroying the planet before we start destroying our economy and our way of living. We certainly respect and welcome all perspectives and that should be the case on all sides of the debate. It is not just left and right. It is interesting how so many folks that are Global Warming skeptics come from environmental activist brack grounds background. I consider myself an environmentalist. I do travel quite a bit and every chance i get, when i travel, i want to go out. I want to see the lay of the land. I want to go hiking through the forest.
