No one is debating that the climate has shifted before without man's intervention. That's a copout. Just because the climate shifts on its own does not mean we should feel free to accelerate it, and it does not mean that we aren't abhorrently stupid if we accelerate it to the level where human habitation of the planet is rendered more difficult if not impossible.

So we're up to. . what. . 2 out of 100 scientists who claim to be unconvinced that the planet is heating up?

A notoriously Republican newspaper renders an opinion which is friendly to Republican business interests. Wow. What a shocker.
