I bet I'm not the only GW sceptic who is tired the 'denier' label, with
its hidden subtext of being almost equivalent to 'holocaust denier'..

I completely agree with that. I'm not an expert either but I don't see
any need to doubt it. The reason why I am sceptical of the sceptics is
that they appear to often be on the right of the political spectrum,
and bring up arguments about 'liberal/socialist control' etc (yeah,
right, the same liberal control which is leading to spending cuts and
rubbish piling up on the streets of my home city lol) which makes me
believe that it's part of an anti-liberal political agenda. Maybe man-
made global warming doesn't exist, perhaps, but I'm more inclined to
believe a scientist than some Daily Express hack with an axe to grind..

Yup. I'll third that. I like Americans though; staying with one and
travelling with him and his family across the good ol USA too! (with
luck and a lot of arranging!). There are some appalling rednecks
however. I worked in maine for 3 summers once upon a time and I just
wondered what lairs they crawled back into at night when they left the
bars.- Hide quoted text -

What the zuck does that mean, you like them and hate them; working
