Here's a clue... global warming doesn't exist. There's been a net
cooling trend for decades, and the effect of the Kyoto accord would be
at best a small fraction of 1 degree centigrade over the next century
(at a truly horrendous cost to the US economy). But let's not go over
that well-plowed land again....

No climatologists believe the above except those on the payrolls (or
funded by) the hydrocarbon extraction industry. The consensus is that
global warming is taking place, but the US corporate media pays undue
attention to the few climatoligists that disagree. Even that hotbed of
left-wing radicals, the US Department of Defense now believes that
global warming is a significant threat to US security.

You need to do some more reading on the subject.

Good advice. You should take it. Include in your research real,
peer-reviewed studies, not some quote from the Rush Limbaugh website.

The best data on the
subject shows that there has been a net cooling trend - not a warming
trend.

Tell that to the permafrost, glaciers and polar ice caps. They will
be quite relieved to hear that all this time they have been growing,
instead of shrinking, in size.

Those pushing the global warming agenda tend to be those who are
raking in lots of research dollars doing it.

Ad hominem commentary means that your argument is lost:

There are petitions
signed by tens of thousands of scientists who believe the science and
methods used to come to the conclusion that global warming is
happening are flawed.

"Scientists" is nebulous term. Climatologists?

But don't take my word for it - look up the NOAA data on temperature
trends.

What about the data on shrinking glaciers and ice caps? Maybe physics
are different in Right-Wing-Land?
