I tend to believe that the human involvement in global warming is being blown out of proportion. What is making this possible is fear. What one feels will have an impact on how you perceive reality. Let me given an example, if one is in a good mood, children playing are fun to watch. If one is in a grouchy mood, the same children playing may now become an annoyance. If one is very cautious or fearful, the same children playing is an accident waiting to happen. The data entering the eyes is the same for all three, but the mood filter will affect how one interprets the data.

The person in the grouchy mood, may be able to rationalize why the children are an annoyance. He could even set up a scientific study how random noise can have an impact on mental health. The person who is fearful can also sight studies and statistics about playground accidents to support their filter of fear, thereby using valid scientific arguments. The person who is in the good mood can also come up with studies how watching children play is good for one's general well being.

What we have with man-made global warming is one main emotional filter that is based on fear. So it will only present an interpretation what helps to reinforces or justify the fear. I am not afraid of global warming, so I will filter the data in a way to that reinforces this filter. The problem is many people want to use the power the government to add more fear. The goal is to scare people with additional policing actions, that will increase the number of new criminals, in an attempt to make more people afraid. Once everyone is on the same fear page, then it will also look real since more people will perceive scientific reality with a global fear filter. The manmade global warming is manmade, stemming from the fear filter.

One easy observation. Why are the polar caps of Mars melting? This won't get through the fear filter, because it doesn't reinforce the fear. It is like telling the hysterical mom, the sandbox is safe. She will ignore this calming observation and focus on the swings so she can reinforce her fear.
