And i'm supposed take these supposedly expert climate scientists seriously with statements like the following.
Dr David Viner, a senior research scientist at the climatic research unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia,within a few years winter snowfall will become "a very rare and exciting event".
"Children just aren't going to know what snow is"
Maybe someone should tell this imbecile he should come to New England!
This is how the real Wayne Gretzky feels about climate change. It's probably a good idea to change your handle, since it's the polar opposite of yours.
I saw a Nova episode last night about the volcanoes on Iceland, and the effects they have had on world climate in the past, and the likelihood of it happening again (VERY likely).
It seems to be a tossup whether the sulfur dioxide that would combine with the water vapor to create sulfuric acid and kill people and plants as it did in 1783 or the ash cloud which would create an artificial winter would be the worst. Either way, when one of those Icelandic super-volcanoes erupts, it will have severe effects on the climate of the entire Northern Hemisphere. In fact, the worst of them has been swelling up, according to the scientists.
The bottom line is, "Global Warming" may be the very LEAST of the problems this old world is about to throw at us!
5 different scientific 'studies' show 5 different results
Both are true. Some areas experienced a cold year while the earth as a whole experienced it's 4th hottest year. There's no mind to be made up. It's whether you look at one country or the entire earth. When it comes to "global" warming, it makes zero sense to look at just one country (the US I think but I didn't pay attention because looking at one country is just ignorant).

And then there's the super volcano in the middle of the United States that's due to erupt any time now. Yeah, this planet can throw all kinds of things at us....or space could. There could be a meteor headed to this planet right now that could wipe out all life.
I do think that we need to do what we can to have the least impact on the planet but we have to realize that sooner or later something will happen that will change life forever if we survive it.
... And yet the "solutions" do nothing to reign in some of the worst offenders like China, India, etc.
Just keep murdering our bald eagles.
We'll trade carbon credits on Wall Street.
That's what Europe does and they feel good about themselves in fighting off climate change.
Al Gore and Goldman Sachs have it all ready to go..just give them the word.
Seriously? You're comparing the US to the entire world. WHY is what happens in the US more important than what happens in the entire world?
As climate changes, some areas will get colder while others get hotter. Global warming does not mean that every spot on earth increases temperature. Global warming will impact weather patterns that very well could cause some areas to become colder while others become warmer. Here in the US we get colder when the jet stream troth dips. Change weather patterns and you can cause it to dip. That, however, doesn't mean the entire world is getting colder. The big question is what is happening to the entire planet, especially the poles. The US could freeze over but that wouldn't matter. The planet is much bigger than just the US.
