Global Warming: Call that a debate?

Everyone should check out demanddebate.com. They don't think that global warming isn't happening. They think that global warming is happening, it's not the fault of humans. So they use the word 'debate' because that sounds more reasonable than denial.
Demanddenial.com is still available. I was thinking of giving that URL to Sheri Shepherd of The View for her birthday. Unless she's not sure when or if that happened either.

One of the books on demanddebate.com is "The Sky Is Not Falling" by Holly Fretwell, a natural resources management expert. A natural resources management expert? Uhm, doesn't that sound like an engineer at Chevron's title? Doesn't sound like the brass a blood bank. The book is about how awesome the Earth is and how we shouldn't change anything. "Shows kids 9-12 that human ingenuity combined with an "enviropreneurial" spirit will lead us to a bright environmental future, not one where people ruin the earth."

In other words, "Earth stop hitting yourself!"

This is like a fox writing a book (for children) why it should in fact be allowed in the hen house.

As I have learned from presidents (past and current), just because you have a book with pictures and a simple story, doesn't make all your assertions correct. See: mushroom cloud. And just because you say "nu-huh" to scientific research doesn't automatically make you an authority on discourse. See: evolution. I'm all for debates. I'm all for demanding them. But demanddebate.com is misleading and a misnomer.
