Three Important Posts on Global Warming
My response to the many questions I have received on my view of Global Warming (skeptic about anthropogenic Global Warming). My full response will be posted once my editor (aka, the Spouse) get the chance to fix the many typos.
But now with the full IPCC report of the main working group now released (http://ipcc-wg1.ucar.edu/wg1/wg1-report.html), a number of voices are beginning to respond about their concerns. So, here are a few great links to check out today:
A Former Global Warming believer and climate scientist now bets his own money against global warming:

A great discussion about the carbon trading plans and their relationship to 10th century indulgences:

A great set of interactions, one from the U.K. Guardian about the tradeoff between cutting emissions and global warming, and the other from Tim Worrell who is not an advocate of anthropogenic GW - death one way or the other, but one way we know people will die (hint - its the fact of what will happen if we cut economies by the great levels suggested by some)

Here are a couple of key slogans to keep in mind:
The Global Warming crowd is largely people with a set of policy prescriptions in search of a cause de jur (these folks were anti-capitalist back when Red not Green was the color choice)
Second, as a Christian, we have the exact right concern (choosing to side with the Global Warming crowd) but on the wrong issue (after missing so many of the right causes in the past).
Ugggggg
