LOL Dumbass! You two love birds belong together on this one. ;) Is it getting warmer? Perhaps. Depends on the timeframe you cherry pick. More recent data suggests overall cooling since 1998. Is it caused by Greenhouse Gases? Perhaps, but of those carbon dioxide is barely a blip on the statistical radar. Water vapor is by far and away Numero Uno, and no wonder: the earth is 75% water! Now what might be heating all that water? The SUN maybe? Which is going through some various periods of inactivity and activity that may in fact be far more influential on global change than the puny humans who scurry on a fraction of its surface. Before you laugh consider -- just consider! -- that Mars' poles are also losing their caps. That's a tough one to pin on Dubya. Am I saying that man contributes nothing bad to the equation? No, but I am not at all convinced by the current rationale -- carbon dioxide -- or its ostensible solution -- carbon credits and government takeover of the energy sector -- for handing my wallet, the internet, the car industry, and who-knows-what-next over to Comrade Obama and his merry band of ribald schemers -- most of whom are recycled Marxists with political axes to grind, like their Boss. - Publius > -- "It ought never to be forgotten, that a firm union of this country, under an efficient government, will probably be an increasing object of jealousy to more than one nation of Europe; and that enterprises to subvert it will sometimes originate in the intrigues of foreign powers, and will seldom fail to be patronized and abetted by some of them. Its preservation, therefore ought in no case that can be avoided, to be committed to the guardianship of any but those whose situation will uniformly beget an immediate interest in the faithful and vigilant performance of the trust."
