i think your mistaking the 'science impaired' for the guys who do drug efficacy studies.....mr bongnsnort.

Well, lets look into it a bit. What was the "last major volcano"?

More bad news for the dems.... cnn.com DAMASCUS, Syria (CNN) -- Syrian President Bashar Assad said Saturday he has been taking steps to withdraw his country's military forces from Lebanon and they "should not stay one day if there is a Lebanese consensus asking us to leave." Assad also sent a message to the United Nations about withdrawing his troops. "If you, as the U.N., think we should immediately withdraw, not withstanding any negative impact on Lebanon, you tell us, you decide," he said.

i think they used to call it 'military science.' Now they just call it fraud.

Hi longnshort. Ok, lets call "the last major volcano" Mt Pinatubo, Philipines, 1991. I found estimates of total ejected material at 10km3, 5km3 dacite (lava) and 20M tons of SO2 (largest every observed). Temps in stratosphere increased as much as 3.5 deg C at some latitudes, global temps might have seen 0.5 deg C decrease for 2 - 4 years. Most of the lava and ash would have settled, so 20M tons of SO2 would be the bulk of the pollutants, which you claim is "more than all of man for his entire existence". In 2002, total world coal production was 5.3B tons. At a specific gravity of about 1.5, that is 3.5Km3. The total mass of pollutants released by combustion of this 5.3B tons is much higher, as combustion results such as CO2, CO, H2O, etc, obtain most of their mass from the atmosphere. So I hope you can see that there is a slight order of magnitude problem here. Perhaps you could direct my attention to a more promising volcanic eruption which you had in mind when making your claim?

"What happened to the lefts' global cooling hoax in the 60s and 70s??" The cooling was based on the observation that we were in an interglacial period. Such periods have occurred many times and they tend to last for 10k-20k years. They are readily predictable because they correlate well with changes in the Earth's orbit. Given that the Holocene started about 10k years BCE and the orbital data, we should be heading towards a new glacial period. We aren't. In fact, it appears as if we are going the other way. Why is that? Well, the increasing levels of CO2 might be related in some fashion...
