The real problem is a small group of renegade scientists who have claimed that [[carbon dioxide]]is the biggest factor in [[global warming]]. Partisans have used this claim to pressure the [[EPA]] to classify carbon dioxide as a [[pollutant]].

The Republican Party respects the [[peer-review]]ed research of scientists who have have shown that most of the increase in the earth's average near-surface [[air temperature]] is due to natural causes.

The Republican Party respects the [[peer-review]]ed research of scientists who have have shown that most of the changes in the earth's average near-surface [[air temperature]] is due to natural causes. For example, scientists know from studying [[ice core]]s that the temperature has been up to 4 degrees (centigrade) higher and 8 degrees (centigrade) lower during the last 500,000 years. These variations in air temperature led to corresponding variations in carbon dioxide level in the atmosphere several centuries later.
