Your "icecap" website is NOT publicly funded. It tries for legitimacy by using the .us domain, but a real US government website ends with .gov. It is privately funded, and accepts donations from the public. NO taxpayer money supports that.
Your newspaper opinion piece is cute, but doesn't really hold up to NASA (as an organization, NASA has published that man is causing the planet to warm. I am talking about the hundreds of scientists as a whole, not some anomolous opinion.) Read it here. Here's a little synopsis:
Climatologists (scientists who study climate) have analyzed the global warming that has occurred since the late 1800's. A majority of climatologists have concluded that human activities are responsible for most of the warming.
First, I stated www.icecap.us was not a .GOV web site.
Considering that any government employee that makes statements against manmade global warming is dealt with. Such as state climatologists.

How many government scientists will be speaking against manmade global warming?
Your NASA article uses the words “could” and “might” many times.

Are you aware of the following?
1. Carbon dioxide is required for all life to exist on earth.
2. Perfect combustion produces carbon dioxide and water. One gallon of gasoline produces 20 pounds of carbon dioxide and a gallon of water. Burning one pound of jet fuel produces 3.15 pounds of carbon dioxide.
3. The most influential greenhouse gas is water vapor.
4. The “greenhouse effect” keeps the earth warm enough for life.
5. Global warming started around 1750 as the earth warmed after the “little iceage”.
6. During the little iceage there was an 80 year period of almost no sunspots known as the “Maunder Minimum”.
7. Since 1900 the PPM of carbon dioxide has continually increased while the temperature has not. Global cooling occurred from the late 1940’s to the late1970’s.
8. Manmade carbon dioxide is .16% of all carbon dioxide created. If you add all the manmade greenhouse gases, man contributes .28% to all the greenhouse gases created. About one quarter of one percent of all greenhouse gases.
Follow the money. The billions created by carbon taxes and/or cap and trade will create great wealth for individuals and companies that have positioned themselves to take advantage of the opportunity. They are pushing hard for you to convince congress we all need a new tax and we will be glad to pay it to help the environment and “save the earth”. The current estimate is a family of 4 will incur a carbon tax of $2,700 a year.
If you want to believe the opinion that manmade carbon dioxide (.16%) is causing global warming it’s OK with me. Considering the main stream media’s bias for manmade carbon dioxide global warming I understand your position. I just wish you would look at some of the opposing opinions out there. Such as this web site.
