Default Global Warming Skeptics, read this

HOUSTON - ConocoPhillips has joined several other major corporations urging Congress to require limits on greenhouse gases tied to global warming, the first major U.S. oil company to take such a stance.

What does it tell you when Big Oil is worried about Global Warming/Climate Change?

from: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18054970/

It's pretty hard to dismiss mainstream concerns when even Big Oil agrees that we are in trouble...

more:

The company said Wednesday it has joined the U.S. Climate Action Partnership, an alliance of big business and environmental groups that in January sent a letter to President Bush stating that mandatory emissions caps are needed to reduce the flow of carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases into the atmosphere.

It tells me that Big O is ready to implement measures to reduce their own output simply to further increase their profits.

ConocoPhillips and the others want to make sure any legislation is beneficial to them.

Big Oil does not think we are in trouble, or they'd halt production immediately.
