Letter to Editor - Evening Sun - Global Warming Propaganda

Now, let me see if I got this right, according to Sunday's front page article on global warming:
1.  The debate is over. You may recite the “facts,” you may declare your allegiance to the “facts”, but you must not debate the “facts.”
2.  If it weren't for an evil capitalist conspiracy, we'd all be living in a Green Utopia right now with windmills, solar panels, and bio-fuels supplying all of our energy needs.
3.  If we don't do what the United Nations tells us to do, we're all going to die and, more importantly, so are those cute polar bears.
4.  Denialists like me don't care about the environment...and we're angry, mentally defective, racists. Like the carbon dioxide that we exhale, we are a threat to the very survival of this planet, and especially, those cute polar bears. Some of us even believe in God! (full-text version of article)
CO2 is a trace gas. The change in the amount of CO2 that Global Warmers allege is responsible for our impending demise, according to Sunday's article, involves 0.0089%, or less than 1% of 1% of our atmosphere.
All of the gases in our atmosphere have the capacity to absorb infrared radiation to one degree or another. The Anthropogenic Global Warming hypothesis hinges on the assertion that CO2 has a vastly greater capacity in this regard than do any of the other atmospheric gases.
I have looked at charts on specific heat capacities and discussions of infrared absorption rates till my eyes have glazed over and the only place where I found anything to suggest such magical properties for CO2 was in the United Nations and EPA sponsored charts, charts that use unique and indecipherable units of comparison and which seem to have been derived from impossibly complicated global climate models. Forgive me if I question man's ability to construct an accurate global climate model when we can't even predict the weather accurately from one day to the next!
They are right on one thing though: Anthropogenic Global Warming isn't just a theory. No, it's a dangerous agenda that will undermine U.S. sovereignty, further cripple our economy, suppress free speech and make Al Gore very rich.
Do we really want the U.N making and enforcing laws within our borders? The implications of Anthropogenic Global Warming represent a much more serious threat to our future than global warming itself does.
