Those changes occurred as part of the natural warming and cooling cycles of the planet. Not one scientist denies that there IS a natural warming and cooling cycle. The PROBLEM is that the current warming cycle is growing exponentially. The last 420,000 (http://pubs.acs.org/hotartcl/est/99/apr/learn.html) years basically look like gentle rolling hills the last hundred like we've suddenly hit a mountain. and at the top of the mountain, the last ~50 years, we're almost vertical in Greenhouse emissions. -- will "If my life weren't funny, it would just be true; and that would just be unacceptable." - Carrie Fisher ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.
