Frauds? Seems like the wrong word to me. For it to have been a fraud, you have to show that there was intentional deceit. There is a difference between fraud and incomplete understanding.

I reject that there is actully manmade global warming. The earth may or may not be warming but so what. How do we know that this is not just the "hand of God" sending the Earth through it's normal cyclical temperature change? How do we know that other countries will not benefit from an increase in the temperature of the Earth? How do we know that there really will be deleterious effects from failing to jump on the band wagon and spending multibillions of $$ for someone like Al Gore's pet projects?

On the other hand, how do we know there are
not human activities that are negatively exaccerbating global warming? Why do you reject "manmade global warming"? Is it on the basis of scientific evidence (or lack thereof), or is it for some other reason?

This is agenda driven and I suspect it is a racket for some intellectuals to make lots of $$$$ via grants etc.

There are agendas (and $$$$) driving both sides of the debate -- I don't see how that can be denied without buying into one agenda or the other.
