Anti Science??? Has anyone noticed how "convenient" the environmental position is. If anything bad happens (and it always will) they can say "we told you so". If anything apocalyptic fails to happen (and it always fails to happen) they have two possibilities:
If their policies are not adopted they will claim that a temporary cooling cycle has given us a reprieve and that doom is still just around the corner. If their policies have been adopted they will pose as the saviors of humanity. This is like claiming credit for the sunrise. Like the statement "God Exists" the global warming hypothesis is not falsifiable and hence, not a scientific statement at all. It is a statement of faith and the sacrifice that faith demands is much more harsh than a little bread and wine. Considering the effect of "biofuels" on world food prices, it is fair to call "global warming" a human sacrifice religion.
