For the Greenies, it is a religion and no facts need be considered.

If I look at the people leading this movement, it seems that they fall into two camps: a) the socialists/communists who think government is the solution to all problems; and b) those who are in it to make money, like Gore and Mann.

I feel sorry for those who are unable to think for themselves and have a rational, fact based discussion of what might be happening. The greens are far more likely than the skeptics to engage in ad-hominum attacks, which to me is a sign of a weak argument.

One last thing - do you know why Greenland is named that?
