Fine.  Does "scientists said so" have no effect on you, or is the 
involvement of ABC what concerns you.  Why in the world would ABC want to 
bias their report?  I have no clue.

Find one reputable scientist who says that human activity is having no 
effect on global temperature.

The thing is, you are religious and you believe that Bush will promote 
your religion.  You desperately want to promote your religion, so you tend 
to be very slow to recognize the validity of anything that works against 
Bush's ideas.  One of Bush's ideas, which seems to get no support even 
from the scientists he has picked for himself, is that the case for an 
effect of human activity on global warming has not been made convincingly. 
You are very predictable in that way.

Mike
