According to a study published by the Heartland Institute, there are 500 scientists with documented doubts about man made global warming. (web site) The summary of the United Nation's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC),

"...largely ignores the uncertainty in the report (web site) and attempts to present the expectation of substantial warming as firmly based science. The summary was published as a separate document, and, it is safe to say that policymakers are unlikely to read anything further."

In science, the goal of true science is to test hypothesis to reveal supporting or non-supporting evidence for the idea in order to bring us closer to the truth.

I'm disappointed in Newt Gingrich. His motivation may have been genuine but the means does not justify the end. The issue of global warming has everybody's attention but mostly for the wrong reasons. It is time to correct the misinformation and place this issue into the proper perspective so that our energy is focused not on the distracting shiny thing but on the best ways to become energy independent so we don't provide petro dollars to terrorist.
