Well your post is very interesting, but I am not scientific enough to understand quite a bit of it. I am not finding any suggestion that global warming is fully imaginary, however. Is that what you were suggesting, or are you just blown away by very technical tracts about subjects you are just discovering? (I cannot find the little marks you put around a g to make it a giggle, because the printing on my keyboard is wearing away, but a giggle is what goes here.)

Now here is something even I can fully understand! Several senators have visited the Arctic, including John McCain and Lindsey Graham, and talked to the people who actually live there and are experiencing global warming firsthand. It looks like McCain is not a full supporter of Bush's voluntary measures (how pathetic anyway). Thank goodness!! McCain can really stir things up when he feels passionate about something. Since I know you are a conservative, I am sure you will appreciate the concern of McCain and Graham immensely:

US senators: Global warming obvious in far north
Aug 17 7:04 PM US/Eastern

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (Reuters) - Fresh from visits to Canada's Yukon Territory and Alaska's northernmost city, four U.S. senators said on Wednesday that signs of rising temperatures on Earth are obvious and they called on Congress to act.

"If you can go to the Native people and walk away with any doubt about what's going on, I just think you're not listening," said Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina.

Republican Sen. John McCain of Arizona and Democrat Hillary Clinton of New York told reporters in Anchorage that Inupiat Eskimo residents in Barrow, Alaska, have found their ancestral land and traditional lifestyle disrupted by disappearing sea ice, thawing permafrost, increased coastal erosion and changes to wildlife habitat.

Heat-stimulated beetle infestation has also killed vast amounts of the spruce forest in the Yukon Territory, they said.

Such observations provide more ammunition in the fight for a bill, co-sponsored by McCain and Connecticut Democrat Joe Lieberman, to cap U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, McCain said. That bill has repeatedly failed to pass the Senate.

"People around the country are going to demand it," McCain said. "It's the special interests versus the people's interest."

The United States is the biggest emitter of heat-trapping carbon dioxide, which many scientists have linked to global warming.

Oklahoma Republican Sen. James Inhofe, chairman of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, has dismissed global warming as a hoax and questioned scientific evidence supporting rising temperatures.

The White House has warned that mandatory caps on greenhouse gas emissions could stunt U.S. economic growth. President George W. Bush supports a voluntary plan for industry to cut greenhouse gas output.

The senators said they were headed Tuesday for a visit to Kenai Fjords National Park in Seward, where the National Park Service has been tracking retreating glaciers.
