It's too late for that. Just make sure we are wearing sun glasses and asbestos drawers.

You're right. The solution is simple, elegant, and obvious! I can't figure why no one else has realized it.

All we have to do is put a worldwide ban on handbaskets!

And if that doesn't work, a pre-emptive attack on hell should do it. Rejime change in hell. That must be our next priority.

You need to read up on global warming some, Mouse. It does not make everything everywhere on the planet get evenly and steadily warmer all at the same time. It cause extreme weather fluctuations in both directions. This is for a great many reasons involving ocean currents, weather patterns, and other such large patterns in nature.

So every time it gets colder where you are, that doesn't prove or disprove global warming theories. And every time it gets warmer where you are, ditto. You have to look at things like average temperatures around the globe, and the average temperatures of large bodies of water.

It was damn cold here in February too. Mind you, it usually is.

Anyone got some anti-carbon footprint paraphernalia? Solar panels? Heat Pumps? Plant 1000 trees? Buy a Prius? Coldest Feb here in 30 years. Go figger.

Yeah and that means every movie that got an oscar is true, Right?

And Davis Guggenheim won the Oscar not Al.

It really doesn't matter who or what is causing it -- it exists and we have to deal with it. Whether it's manmade or not, it's too late to do anything to stop it; we can (hopefully) mitigate for our great-great grandchildren.

I doubt that we will do much of anything, since as a species we're far too self-centered to worry about something 50, 60, 75 years off.

That would mean that Ben Hur is a true historical figure. Can't wait for James Cameron to find his sarcophagus.

But Al Gore got an Oscar for his movie about Global Warming, that means it must be true, doesn't It?

Well, it's probably partly man-made. The question is, how large a part? Even if it's a minor part, it would seem like a good idea to do a few things to help reduce it, as you say, Dickey.

I believe that Global warming exists but I don;t know if it is man made or not.

Never the less we should do what ever we can to reduce it in case it is man made. Even if we have to nuke China. (;~>)

Ah. So I guess this means we can go back to polluting the air all we want, we can cut down the remaining forests, burn all the fuel, and all that sort of thing. Excellent! I always love to hear an argument that helps rich corporations get even richer. ;-) Just think, if anything goes wrong, blame it all on the sun! What a brilliant notion.

Thanks for relieving my worries about the global warming nonsense, Miskin Man.

Not if you put a strong roof over it and build some fires inside - they might still survive under a mile of ice....

Did you know that Prof Singer, the once instant expert on rubbish the dangers of smoking is now (SURPRISE!!!!) also an instant expert on debunking global warming. But he hasn't had any peer reviewed papers published in this field for ages....

Well at last the truth is out. BBC4 tonight exposed the whole rubbish argument. Check the figures and the history for yourself. The SUN governs our weather and the CO2 changes with the temperature , not the other way around. Just a case of man's inflated ego thinking we can actually have control over nature.
