Artful Dodger: My local weather lady, who is quite nice on the eyes I might add, is also a meteorologist & knows the science quite well, also. But, she does not presume to be an expert on global warming. Niether, to the best of my knowledge, does she do work for big oil cos. IMHO qualifications do matter. Monetary interests does have an influence on opinion. The fact that these 2 guys appeared on O'Reilly Factor does not make them experts. My guess is that they were doing it for showmanship. Or, to represent their moneyed interests. Same for those people who appear on Keith Olberman (sp?)
As for for the absolute assertion that there has been no global warming since 1998, I'm not a scientist & I can't say for sure (& neither can you). But, I can say that the vast majority of scientists don't hold that view, or the view that a lot of global warming is not man made.
