When there is a study by qualified scientists, rather than the con artists that started this, there may be some who will listen. That study, though, will give the lie to the whole scam. The left isn't interested in real research. Though perhaps your misguided amateur research would be accepted, since you were guided right where they want you. Can't come up with a nickname out of Bill Jackson, though you don't rate any better than Third Anus. You are both parrots of the left, who can't think on your own...

Humankind was once composed of primitives who created religions out of their observations of the seasons. They believed, you see, that the sun would disappear and never return since the daylight grew shorter toward the winter solstice. Thousands of years of enlightenment, civilization, and education have produced a liberal class who believe the the Earth can be heated artificially as humans create energy for their daily lives. The primitives had an excuse for their cults. They had no information to analyze and no scientific method to apply to it. The liberals, as usual, are simply driven by emotion. They WANT global warming, and BY GOD, they'll HAVE IT...and thus the same old stale cult is created... Some atheist...

I seem to remember alot of dire predictions back in the 1970s. Except back then the common thinking was we were heading into a new ice age. Do you remember the winter of 1977? Now the eco-hysteria is global warming. Clearly the world is warmer today than it was during the last ice age. The earth has long term (10,000 years+) cycles that are poorly understood. The question is, is man contributing to this phenonmenon? To make a claim based on 5 years of surface measurement is silly. Surface measurements are notoriously faulty at predicting weather. In the history of the world the temps have been BOTH colder and warmer than today. In both cases the earth found a way to survive.
