Global Warming revisited

All of us who think this whole "global warming" thing is a little overblown and unproven just want everyone to look at things rationally.
 
We'd like everyone who thinks that they know exactly what is happening and what is causing it to sit back and think through what it is we actually know.  Ok, that's what I'd like to see happen.  But these sixty Canadian scientists are calling on Harper to revisit the science of global warming. 
 
The study of global climate change is, as you have said, an "emerging science," one that is perhaps the most complex ever tackled. It may be many years yet before we properly understand the Earth's climate system. Nevertheless, significant advances have been made since the protocol was created, many of which are taking us away from a concern about increasing greenhouse gases. If, back in the mid-1990s, we knew what we know today about climate, Kyoto would almost certainly not exist, because we would have concluded it was not necessary.
