Global Warming is very real. Your ignorance on the subject comes from Exxon propaganda. If you knew anything about the science you'd understand that global warming is not a black and white deal, it doesn't not warm the entire globe uniformly. In fact it often causes violent storm in the winter which temporarily can make certain places colder. It also cools the Gulf Stream which has all kinds of bizarre affects. But it is 100% real and indisputable. You need to stop echoing the parroting the Exxon BS because those people are not our friends.

ANy sane person should know we badly need to kick our oil-gas addiction, and we also need to curb pollution. That's just common sense for any resposnsible adult to understand.

Also, look at the present gas gouging. No oil prifce spikes but big oil jacked up the price 75 cents anyway, just because Bush-cheney refuse to do anything about it, and are on their side. It is the biggest ripoff in the history of the planet, and you're paying too. They have probably stolen at least $1000 from you personally but you still support them. WAKE UP!

Netherlands records the hottest April in 300 years
dpa German Press Agency
Published: Tuesday May 1, 2007

The Hague- The year 2007 recorded the hottest April for 300
hundred years, the Royal Dutch Meteorological Institute (KMNI)
reported Tuesday.
According to the KMNI, April's mean temperature was 13.1 degrees
Celsius, the warmest April since regular observations started in the
Netherlands in 1706.

The previous record, April 1794, was exceeded by almost two
degrees.

The KMNI reported that in the last hundred years, temperatures in
the country rose between 1900 and 1940, decreased until 1975, and
then increased again at a pace more than twice as fast as the
increase in the world mean temperature.

April was also an extremely dry month, with rain falling only on
April 3 for a grand total of 0.3 millimetres, making the month the
driest April since 1906. The previous record was February 1986 with
0.4 millimetres.

From a meteorological point of view the main cause of the
unusually warm weather was a month-long high pressure system over
part of Europe that decreased cloud cover and caused ample sunshine,
the KMNI reported.

In addition wind that usually blows from the south was replaced by
a predominantly north to north-easterly that brought with it warmth
from the North Sea.

An ongoing drought has not yet caused problems for the Dutch
waterways and the groundwater system, officials at the Dutch Water
Board said, adding that irrigation prohibitions were put in place
only in a portion of the southern Dutch province of North Brabant.

Kees Meijler of the Union of the District Water Board added that
the drought had not damaged agricultural crops as much as it would
have done in June or July. "The crops are not yet as deeply rooted as
they are during the summer," Meijler said, "so far we have no need to
worry."
