These agencies are in the business of collecting monies towards
solving problems.  Global warming is a problem which fits well
within there range of problems which could expand their budgets.
If a problem allows for the raising of huge quantities of money,
yet there is in fact no problem, would you not say, Shawn, that
this is the kind of problem that you would welcome?

I wouldn't look to the gov't for straight answers on this subject.

Would you think that a little ol' oil co. might tell half truths
for political reasons?  Say it's not so!

I would go to the Cato Institute, a prestigious think tank.  Here
is a link to an article from Cato, written by an MIT meteorology
prof.:
	http://www.cato.org/pubs/regulation/reg15n2g.html

Every day people being conned out of there money are made aware of
the cons they are falling victim to, and they merely state that
they know better, promptly get on the phone and commit more funds
to their "supposed" charity of choice.  Shawn, if you don't believe
an MIT meteorology prof. and the CATO Institute, then give til it 
hurts.

ho ho ho....   It is that time of year, you know.

ps	...my favorite line from the paper was, when speaking of
climate scientists, Prof Lindzen states, "...among those actively
involved in research and publishing frequently in peer-reviewed
research journals, none believes that any man-caused global warming
has been identified so far."

...give til it hurts
