1) Are you a proponent or skeptic of the theory of AGW (anthropogenic global warming - i.e., man-made global warming)?

2) Do you more or less agree or disagree with the quotes in this link?

I don't believe in global warming, so naturally I don't believe anything humans have been doing has caused such mischief.

"Everything we have developed over the last 100 years should be destroyed."

Sounds like you found the Unibomber's web site.
 
1) Currently you'd call me a 'proponent'.
Naturally, I'm a skeptic, as any scientist should be. However, the evidence presented to me so far has swayed my opinion to the side of the 'proponents'.

2) I slightly agree with about 4 of those quotes, given the right circumstances. 3 of them are in the 'don't know' pile (they may have 2 points, or I agree that if radical environmentalists invented a disease, it might be like AIDS. This doesn't mean I agree that they should invent a disease), the rest (20-odd) I disagree with.

Many of those quotes, however, are either misleadingly displayed or are not sensationalist and were detached from the science of the time.
