I'd like a little evidence RE that "political process."

As for global warming, there is far more evidence supporting that it is happening then there is for deneying it. And for your education, the Nobel Prize that I mentioned in my original post was not for documenting global warming, but for examining/understanding the processes which could be producing it--processes which are not disputed by any scientific data. For delay to say it was part of a political plan to increase government control over society is just plain paranoid. If that was true, we'd have to worry about the government getting into all aspects of our life--like the right to die or to marry whoever we want..... [-X

Given the normal "signal to noise" ratio in weather, hard evidence for trends could be a long time coming. If we wait until that point in time, it may be too late to take mitigating action that will be effective in the 21st century.
