Not the same thing.  At least the cancer studies were based on statistics.  
For global warming, there's never been "scientific evidence" showing a direct 
causation between "GW gasses" and GW itself. Even the latest "evidence" out 
is really just a bunch of "scientists opinions", and NOT any type of real 
scientific study. It's just mere opinion (ask Charles more on this)

However, now that we're starting to get some REAL research in this area.. 
things are looking different.  In the latest studies of the sedimentation 
layers UNDER the ice caps are showing that the ice caps have actually melted 
some 30,000 times since their initial formation.. it now appears that this is 
actually a normal cycle that has nothing to do with us and has been going on 
for some 4 Billion years.  I'm not saying that people and our C02 could not 
have brought it n a little bit earlier.. or a little quicker this time 
around, but "Human CO2 = the root cause"?  I think not (at least with current 
evidence)...

Don't get me wrong.. I'm completely for doing away with current "dirty energy" 
sources.  That's what I really appreciated about Charles matter of fact 
presentation on various energy sources and each of their pros and cons.  
(Great stuff Charles!)  But regarding the current global warming dogma that's 
being pushed everywhere from Hollywood to NPR, I will not be "market spun" 
into some mad green frenzy and used as a pawn by big corporate marketing 
gurus to "behave" this way or that.  My decisions will be my own, based on 
real evidence that is proven and who's results can be verified.  That's what 
science is all about.  Not opinions, movies and "green-spin".
