Global Climate Change

How do you account for the Ice Age. And then the ice melting?

Orbital changes, possible amplification due to natural CO2 emission (oceans, permafrost, etc) from an initial warming

It's this simple. There are periods of warm and periods of cool. Weather and temperature are cyclical. Enough said.

There is no global warming crisis.

If the "experts" came up with a viable plan to stop the destruction of 5 million acres of rain forest per year, I might start taking them seriously.

A credible spokesman would help too - that twit Al do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do Gore is about as believable as Daffy Duck.

Obama? Sure, global warming will destroy the planet. But first things first - it's far more important to create a health care reform boondoggle with my name on it. If there isn't any money left over for global warming you can blame Bush for that.

Oh, and maybe if the "experts" stop flying to the global warming conferences in private jets people would take them a little more seriously.

As it is, we in the US can sacrifice every penny of our wealth to reduce "greenhouse gas emissions" to zero and it won't make a damn bit of difference in the long run.

Who are these experts flying to conferences in private jets... I really doubt very many climate scientists (or any scientists) fly around in private jets. I know a professor who does study climate change and he had a meeting done via teleconference that would most likely in other sciences be done by everyone flying to one spot and meeting. The reason was to "lower their global warming impact".

The planet gets hotter because it is occupied by more Progressives and everyone knows they are full of hot air.

Thankfully, there is an easy solution.

Global Climate Change

100% of global warming is due to the fact that every day you get older. There is a 100% correlation between the twol. Ergo, you must do the "honorable thing" so global warming will cease. We will commemorate your "passing".

No, the hot air you are observing is coming from Al "The Planet Has A Fever" Gore and other far left-wingers.

Oh, those aren't experts; those are politicians.

World leaders often don't use commercial flights for security reasons.
