Not "Something Al Gore made up." or "A liberal hoax", but what exactly is the scientific argument that makes scientists believe the world will get hotter (excluding the Creationists and the out of work tobacco lobbyists). Why is CO2 etc., capable of warming things up? Any idea? If you were explaining it to someone who'd never heard of it, how would you do that?

Do them Dems have 60 votes? I don't know, it depends on how the moderates vote.
