Global Warming is a lot of hot air. There is no way, in the slender slice of environmental history we have, that we can accurately predict the effects of carbon dioxide.
Temperature changes are all part of the earth's cycle. The theory below is new to me, but I've reads, seen, heard many scientists say much the same thing -- we can't really tell if the rise in temperature of the last 100 years is the result of pollution or a normal cycle ... and is something that will continue to some extreme, or gently slide back the other way? We just don't know. So spending billions of dollars to fix a problem that we don't even know if it's a problem or not doesn't make a lot of sense.

They have noticed that the planet has a "circulation" of ocean currents (like the jet stream) that are influenced by these eruptions. Every so often (I forget the number of years they mentioned) the currents get warm enough that the water melts the polar ice and raises the sea level. It gets fuzzy after this, since it was late and I was 1/2 out of it, but it's something like, when the sea level gets high enough, the water cools enough where it starts to freeze again, starting the cycle all over. Maybe our perception of global warming is nothing other than this cycle continuing. How many here think the "ice age" happened only once? Unlike carbon dioxide emmisions, this is something we can't do anything about. Kinda scary.
