This forum should deal directly with tree rings and nothing else. As for politics, it works both ways. Yes, there are those who would like global warming to be false so that they would not have to change their ways or spend the money to make corrections. But don't forget that there are also those who have used environmental concerns to mask their antipathy towards free enterprise. They would like nothing more than to use such things as the threat of global warming to increase their socialistic governmental power over American society in general and American free enterprise in particular.
