Global Warming Controversy?

Some punditry, as usual, are up in arms that an economist and physicist (notice not an environmentalist) in the EPA had his challenge of global warming (a misleading phrase in and of itself) suppressed. Currently temperatures are tracking downward but when you look at the historic temperatures it has climbed ever since 1880 with periods of time experiencing down years while always moving on an upward trajectory.

Now, Al Gore and some politicians do like to go too far in their grandstanding but at what point do the biggest big business, "drill baby, drill" supporters acknowledge that even Shell, BP, and Chevron have global warming sections on their sites and are doing everything they can to help fix it?

It'd be nice though if those that argue it isn't man made (which it isn't entirely man made) and/or that even if it is, it's too late, would accept that almost every country in the world, two different political administrations, and almost all international science agencies as well as all international energy companies are talking about trying to fix global warming -or at least slow down its pace. They could also Google and read countless science reports (you'll have to sift through the article links to get to the actual reports) that explain it and present all the facts.
