That the world is warming is not in question, the numbers are obvious.
What is causing it to warm is still in debate (especially by the Bush

Which shows the arrogance of man. I just finsihed reading a book about
the Viking explorers. They settled Iceland and Greenland around the
years 750-1050 AD. The "scientists" say that they were able to stay
there at all is because about the time they got there corresponded to a
global warming cycle that made the glaciers recede, the winters easier
and the summers warmer and longer. About the time they left corresponds
to the "Little Ice Age". "

That's nice, but the tread here is not your own and you are not the sole
participant.

I was addresing newps and only him; if you wish to add something,

since you have a certain expertise, please do. OTOH, don't hog the thread.

It doesn't work that way, so stop rationalizing.
