What this tells me is that the "debate" at this point has almost nothing to do with actual science and almost everything to do with politics. I've pretty much done with paying any attention to the "evidence" proffered by any of the interests involved and instead am focusing on who is trying to grab what political power, which is, IMHO, the engine that is really powering things.

That is because there is NO debate about the science. It is about as locked up as you can get. It is just that it is, well how would we describe it? Oh yeah, an inconvenient truth.
