The Global Warming Hoax?

Is Global Warming a hoax or myth? The Global Warming Hoax question has produced lots of discussion from scientists, politicians and the general public over the years.

Conspiracy theories abound: Environmentalists claim that scientists who deny global warming are in the pay of the oil companies. Other people claim that global warming is a world wide myth made up by the Governments of the world in order to raise taxes.

It's true that the Global Warming debate has created more heated discussion and arguments than probably any other in the past thirty years, and that global warming hoax theories - both for and against - abound on the internet, on television and in the printed media.
