Global climate change

So I came across this earlier today on conservapedia:

Scientists Write Open Letter to Congress: "You Are Being
Deceived About Global Warming -- Earth
has been cooling for ten years. Present cooling was NOT predicted by the
alarmists' computer models, and has come as an embarrassment to them

So when I followed the link to this page http://climatedepot.com/a/1745/Scientists-Write-Open-Letter-to-Congress-You-Are-Being-Deceived-About-Global-Warming--Earth-has-been-cooling-for-ten-years I read the letter that they had submitted.

If you look at the list of signers there are a total of 7 and of that only 2 have climate backgrounds to their education the rest are physicists and one guy worked for Exxon. I don't think that is the background you need to be making any sort of a statement when it comes to global climate change.

As for the actual science well this page covers some of the basics: http://oceanworld.tamu.edu/resources/oceanography-book/evidenceforwarming.htm

It is pretty obvious that the climate is changing and not necessarily for the better. Is it our fault, that is a different question and one that I do not feel qualified to answer. But lets pretend for a minute that us pumping CO2 into the air is not the cause of it well why then should we not be trying to clean up the what we are putting into the air. We need to lessen our demand on foreign oil anyway why not move to cleaner fuels, since the quantity of oil is limited. And all the crap that comes out when we burn coal for energy why don't we clean that up anyway so the air we breath is cleaner? Just something to think about.

Finally I just came across this on conservapedia as well:

"Nation's Jobless Rate Hits Highest Yearly Loss in 4 Decades"[8] "Change" is great, isn't it?

If you follow that link you find an article by Fox news that says the June to June jobless rate. So now apparently Obama is responsible for job losses not only before he was sworn in but also prior to him being elected, 4 months before he was elected ok that seems fair. What would this headline have said if McCain had won I wonder?
