So we've finally made it to name calling.

You only scare me because you'd rather believe some right wing propaganda blog than organizations like...oh lets see, the EPA, NSA, NOAA, NASA.

I have great confidence that if we over step our bounds the earth will adjust. But don't blame just humans, lightning burning 1,000,000's of acres has it's part along with the ocean and volcanoes. Lightning in fact adds ozone so where are the giant Tesla coils?

The Martian icecaps advance and retreat every year as Mars goes through its seasons.

Mars is Melting

Maybe you already knew that. But perhaps some folks reading your post wouldn't have known that you knew.

It's not about you being right or wrong or making any admissions one way or the other.

You seem to be very well versed on one side already. And highly resistant to examining the other.

Rumblebelly,

Sorry for the name calling---It was uncalled for my apologies...Regarding your statement that one should believe in organizations like NASA instead of right wing blogs..."FINE"...The following is from a former preeminent NASA scientist:

Since I am no longer affiliated with any organization nor receiving any funding, I can speak quite frankly….As a scientist I remain skeptical. “The main basis of the claim that man’s release of greenhouse gases is the cause of the warming is based almost entirely upon climate models. We all know the frailty of models concerning the air-surface system” - Atmospheric Scientist Dr. Joanne Simpson, the first woman in the world to receive a PhD in meteorology, and formerly of "NASA", who has authored more than 190 studies and has been called “among the most preeminent scientists of the last 100 years.”

For the record, volcanoes produce less than 1% of the CO2 created by fossil fuel burning.

Which produces more CO2, volcanic or human activity?

not highly resistant, but when climatologists start to say the opposite of what liberals are saying, the liberals start to yell louder that the sky is falling.
