ACCER, what kind of hidden agenda are you talking about? Do you mean a hidden agenda by environmentalists?

[RFL1986]

The scary thing is that your introduction is what most people who won't believe in global warming say in order to justify their opinion. There have been periods of 'little ice ages' and 'warming' but nothing quite like what is occurring now. The evidence also suggests that we're causing rather than simply living within a rapidly changing environment.

The thing of it is guys, is nobody is telling us "all" the truth. We are only getting what our wonderful governments around the world are giving us. The reason being, we, "the common man (and woman)", would start to panic and cause more problems than they could handle. So they let it trickle out and let us speculate on what is really going on until we get used to the idea. Then, just when we think everything is going to be all right they will give us the bad news. Then we will all suck it up and do our best to prevent what is happening. At least, that's what they think.

[Green-Moo]

As I said previously, whether we are gong through a period of global warming or global cooling, we ARE damaging our planet.

[Roguegal]

Green-Moo, nobody said that we were damaging our planet. We've been doing that since civilization began. It's just gotten worse since the Industrial Revolution began. Now we just have to figure out how to get everybody to help fix it.

Molly,
It varies by the one talking. Some want to make a name for themselves. Some want to sell a book. It just depends. Look deep and critically enough and you will find the agenda. The bottom line is that there is generally a root of money.
