The BBC has posted an article on this subject here. This is the first time I can recall citing a BBC article, but the fact that one of the most liberal news media outlets on the planet is questioning the merits of global warming - well that is news.
My thoughts: whatever your politics, it seems undeniable that we are in a period of "global cooling." What that means, is up for debate. To me, I find it to be clear evidence in support of my theory: God's plan dictates global climate trends. Mans' actions may have some impact, but so rarely can man overcome the forces of nature. We may want to believe we caused a period of global warming, but I don't really believe we were a major contributing factor for the same reason I refuse to believe mankind can stop a tornado: mother nature is far more powerful than we mere mortals give her credit. God built the earth, and his enginnering skills are above par. To suggest we can change the climate is like suggesting man can stop tsunamis: both sound like science fiction to me.

UPDATED NEWS: Ben Stein truly is expelled...
UPDATE:
The associated press differs with the Huffington Post. The AP claims Stein withdrew from the commencement, while the Huffington Post claims he was disinvited. Read the reports for yourself:
-Post article.
-AP article.
So, which is it? Was Stein dropped, or did he cancel? So much for accurate, unbiased reporting.
ORIGINAL NEWS POST:
See the report here.
It is amazing, but apparently the University of Vermont felt that it was necessary to literally expel Ben Stein from its commencement. Apparently, supporting intelligent design is not allowed at their institution. So much for open debate, the freedom of thought, and the First Amendment. Liberal colleges have decided that the "Theory" of Evolution is the only truth, and they will entertain no other theories nor tolerate others who disagree. For those who pride themselves on being open-minded, they have acted just like those who persecuted Galileo for his theories. It is a sad day in academia when politics and prejudice rule rather than open debate and scientific inquiry.
