news.independent.co.uk "The thing that really convinced me was the graphs connecting the increase of carbon dioxide in the environment and the rise in temperature, with the growth of human population and industrialisation. The coincidence of the curves made it perfectly clear we have left the period of natural climatic oscillation behind and have begun on a steep curve, in terms of temperature rise, beyond anything in terms of increases that we have seen over many thousands of years."

Yep. Global warming is here. I don't see how people can look at what human beings have done to the planet and not realize that we have a very noticeable effect on things. At one point you could practically walk on Lake Erie and, even though it's improved, it may return to its noxious state in the future. If human beings can have a profound effect on a lake that size (and then try to clean it up to some good effect) then what's to say we're not having a profound effect on a much larger scale? It's absurd to think otherwise especially as the stakes are mind-numbingly high. Who knew that the Bible of Christocrats is indeed pro-torture, pro-forced-birth, anti-contraception, pro-poverty, pro-violence, pro-war, pro-theft, etc. It's not as they're going against their belief system, this IS their belief system.
