The Earth has long periods of cooling and long periods of heating. We just got out of a mini-ice age in the last couple hundred years.
Global warming is occurring but it is a natural, cyclical process. It has nothing to do with SUVS and the only lunatics out there are the hypocrites that try and force their beliefs on others(Al cough cough Gore cough).
It's been 80 degrees where i live (Coastal central California) since fall. We've had maybe 4 days of rainfall in the past 6 months and maybe 10 or less days of being in the 40s or less at night. We had no winter at all, when we used to, at the very least, get a couple of frosty days nearing snow. Bah. The climate where I live has changed drastically in the last 10 years.
Global average surface temperatures have gone up a mere degree in 100 years and this has drastically changed your climate? Your anecdotal evidence is just as meaningless as the observation that these people met in -6 degree weather or that there was a terrible winter storm in Kentucky.

Well, actually no. Comforting thought though. You need to try to get Al Gore out of your thoughts. You can't have him. He doesn't want you. He is unimportant, especially to global warming and to you. Stalking him is a bad idea. Other people don't find him as interesting as you do.

IT IS only a couple of years since scientists first told us we could expect a new order of fires in south-eastern Australia, fires of such ferocity they would engulf the towns in their path.
And here they are. The fires of Saturday were not "once in 1000 years" or even "once in 100 years" events, as our political leaders keep repeating. They were the face of climate change.
I lived in Adelaide and last year we had a brutal heat wave.. I missed the heat wave this year as I moved to Toronto.. but this year it was the hottest in a century. And now the fires in Victoria that may claim over 200 lives..
Its all about money.Another way for our government to impose taxes and fines on businesses.More and more companies are shiping there goods in from other ports in the country rather than here in cali, because of the emission laws being passed.It effects people who have jobs in logistics, such as the railroad or dockworkers, more people will be unemployed, but i suppose that doesnt affect you global warming nuts.

These scientists who predicted this may be right.
Yep, its Global Warming all right. The guy they arrested for starting the fires? Smoke and mirrors! Pardon the pun.
New Mexican Republican if you get a chance read "State of Fear" by Michael Crichton he illustrates how we're scaring ourselves to death and how doomsayers manipulate that fear for their personal agenda ie: Al Gore....BTW dont worry the Sky isnt falling...

I have read it. Excellent book. Should be required reading. The graphs of the actual temperature data are compelling. I have the NOAA site linked. If one looks at small cities and remote areas, the temps are actually going down. This to me is the most compelling argument against man-made warming. If the atmoshpere and planet as a whole is heating up, why is it not heating up in the middle of Iowa, the tundra of Canada, the middle of Africa or Argentina. The temps are rising in NY, LA, Dallas, etc. This could be do to micro climate change, or as some suggest the thermal mass of billions of tons of concrete absorbing and retaining heat.
Regardless, clearly the climate is changing (as it always has). The question really is not of climate change, but how do deal with it. All humans have a carbon footprint. Humans have altered the environment for 20,000 years. Of course, so did the dinosaurs.
The question I have asked, that the GW disciples refuse to answer is: if humans are the cause, which humans should we kill to cure GW?

LMAO. Oh right. Perfect. Get your information about global climate change from a novelist. Perfect.
Why are so many Americans so stupid?
Nobody but an idiot or an ideologue disputes the anthropogenic causes of climate change in the 21st century. Nobody. Those of you who continue to do so--rooting around deep in the bowels of the internet in search of "evidence"-- succeed only in advertising your membership in the Tinfoil Hat Society.

Carry on. . . .
The "novelist" (a Harvard doctor by the way) makes it clear that the book is fiction. On the other hand, every statistic is real and correct. I have the link to the data, but I doubt it would interest you because it is factual data, as opposed to propaganda.
As for your first assertion, there are hundreds of respected scientists that dispute A; Gore and his henchmen. Note that I do not dispute the climate is changing (as it always has). If humans are changing the environment, however, they have been doing so for 20,000 years.
To assert that we can tax or legislate our way out of climate change is a true indicator of one indoctrinated into the Tinfoil Hat Society.
PS, if you are so concerned about it, I suggest you sell that big, inefficient house you were crying about and move into something more eco-friendly.

Global warming is a hoax
