Anytime you significantly change the environment, then you can expect some type of change. I don’t think anyone is debating cause and effect. However, one of the many problems stems from people who are trying to use “global warming” as a method to control politics. The earth, ocean, atmosphere, and sun are too complex to start making predictions. Genetically modified foods, polluted ground water, and environmental impact is going to destroy us before global warming.


Exactamundo. When I was a kid, the big thing was CFC's in aerosol cans busting a hole in the ozone layer. When is the last time you heard buzz in the media about what was the "global warming" of the 1980's? Politics got involved, aerosol makers had to switch to CFC-free propellants, and smog (created by O3 [ozone]) controls got tighter.

Crises are pathways for the political-power hungry (bureaucrats, in this case) to gain control and influence in the private sector - exactly what the founders of this country were rebelling against when they declared independence from Great Britain. Yes, I know that is oversimplifying the ideals of the American Revolution - but it is an apt correlation. And a very disturbing one.

But my real beef with "global warming" is what I explained earlier - empirically, it cannot be proven using the scientific method. And I HATE it when theory and opinion get introduced to the American populace as fact rather than supposition.

greenhouse gasses

faithful govt/whoever paid scientists for EPA left out the largest greenhouse gas from their reports, the one that accouts for (dont quote) i believe it was 91% of greenhouse gasses. Apparently it was left out because humans don't contribute to even a marginal increase of it on a planet perspective.

Water vapor


Call the EPA, or any other global warming 'reputable' source and ask them why water vapor wasn't accounted for in their figures

they'll hang up on you

Yep, reminds me of when Dupont’s Patent ran out on R12, so they switched to R134a for environmental reasons.

..is another CFC scam to make big money for those who do little work and make big bucks. After all the Big Dame with the BIG RACK from NAPA VALLEY was invited by T Boone Pickens to invest in Natural Gas. When it comes to the Climate Gate, FOLLOW THE MONEY.

From Slashdot Org: "In the wake of the recent release of thousands of private files and emails after a server of the Climate Research Unit of the University of East Anglia was hacked, Prof. Phil Jones is stepping down as head of the CRU. Prof. Michael Mann, another prominent climate scientist, is also under inquiry by Penn State University."

Time to see them all dragged out in Hand Cuffs on National TV and thrown in prison for life.
Another alternative would let them go live with the Teleban and see how they get along with them.

I was stunned this morning when I heard about Climate Gate on BBC and then NPR.
I am one who feels that all Criminals should be Prosecuted, even those who have crossed the line for Political Objectives.
