So you are basically saying that global warming is not affected by man? Gee, that is what most credible scietists have been saying all along. It is going to happen regardless, nothing you can do to stop it

This is just another example of how man caused global warming is a scam

And even more interestingly:




What I see in these graphs is steady increase or decrease. Seems like a pattern as in a long term trend?

Here's oldest one I can find from CA:

Bigfoot will drown if the seas rise. No wonder the left is so panicky.

The left is so panicky because they believe everything presented to them by a media with an enormous bias. The above graphs according to the media look like this :

I think we've all seen with the Katrina damage, which was cause by different man-made problems, that flooding can cause catastrophic damage to cities. The Dutch seem to have found an expensive, yet effective, solution to the problem with their Zuiderzee and Delta Projects. I suspect we'll be raising taxes to pay for flood barriers in the future. I remember my grandmother used to say "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." Too few people have that level of wisdom today. Maybe we will get smart enough to adopt Cap and Trade so that the problem stays manageable.

Good thing that China and India are at the negotiating table.

C&T is worthless WITH OR WITHOUT China and India. Nothing short of laughable. I wish China and India wouldn't pollute as much as they do, but I could care less about how much CO2 they pump out because it doesn't matter. Fighting real pollution is a great idea. Fighting "climate change" is but a hoax, an expensive one at that.
