You may not like junkscience.com, but he didn't create the data only grouped it in a concise way. I've read much of the underlying research from which he built his pages from. I can understand it b/c of my education, many cannot.

There is money and power in global warming, that's why it's at the forefront like it is. The only thing that we know and nobody will admit to is that we don't know the whole story. It's getting warmer and WE DON'T know why, however we do know that we are coming out of an ice age and that temperatures were much warmer in the past than they are now. A gas that makes up ~0.035% of the atmosphere is minor in comparison to water vapor when you let at the spectrograph of absorbencies of light. Water vapor accounts for ~95% of the "greenhouse" effect.

And for the EU being so far ahead... As of last year, 10 of 15 were well behind on meeting their Kyoto goals with only Sweden and the UK being on track. The rest of the countries have INCREASED their CO2 emissions. Heck, Canada alone was up 23+% since Koyoto. They all talk a good game.....

"We have to offer up scary scenarios, make simplified, dramatic statements, and make little mention of any doubts we may have. Each of us has to decide what the right balance is between being effective and being honest."
-Stephen Schneider (leading advocate of the global warming theory)

"Researchers pound the global-warming drum because they know there is politics and, therefore, money behind it. . . I've been critical of global warming and am persona non grata."
-Dr. William Gray
(Professor of Atmospheric Sciences at Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colorado and leading expert of hurricane prediction)

Sorry for the OT, but... GW is a serious pet peeve of mine
