You think things out. Quite admirable, and it doesn't even cost you money to deliver it. I really like the internet.

There is enough evidence now that the climate has altered in the last 50-100 years Agree, and as a matter of fact it has altered the last 250 years as well. Not to speak of how much it has altered the last 12,000 years. That's why our cities are not built on permafrost and glacial ice. Many scientists believe there is a correlation between the increasing atmospheric CO2 and the warming of the atmosphere but no one can be absolutely certain. Wrong. All scientists now know about the factual correlation between CO2 and the temperatures of the atmosphere. Enough evidence about that from ice cores et al. What they argue about, however, is the interpretation of same correlation. If the temperatures follow as a consequence of the CO2 or vice versa. Unfortunately for your heros - and for Gore and his believers - however, here the recent data from the ice cores clearly show, that the CO2 changes trail the temperature charts and not vice versa. If CO2 is the culprit, as your camp of doomsayers rather hoped, then it should be the other way around. In clear text for you only, increases of temperatures should follow increases of CO2. Unfortunately it is the other way around. First comes the temperature rise and then follows the CO2 increase. In any schoolbook experiment it would be the other way around. But our climate seems to be a little bit more complicated than that. Taro
