I have an opinion on global warming!

I agree. As we sit here, shivering in record cold temperatures (wind
chills near zero tonight), the thought that global warming might be a
complete crock of sh*t never once entered my mind -- nor would I
*ever* consider sharing any such silly thoughts with any of you.

Here I sit in the southwest; it's already 90 deg. outside. The globe
must be warming faster than they say. Your statement and mine equally
meaningless and narrow.

Maybe it's not "Global Warming". Maybe it's just "Southwest Warming".

Well, seems you missed the sarcasm.

Or perhaps you did...

We're told that the unusally cold temps lately are a result of global
warming (ice caps melting). I'm still waiting to find out how we also
caused global warming on Mars. Pretty cool how the weather man on TV
can't guess the temp tomorrow but the global warming people can
predict temps in 20 years. Maybe we need to get those guys to come up
with our forecasts.

Obviously, for the heat to traverse the interplanetary space, we are burning
*way* too much fuel!

OTOH, there seems to be some doubt whether the Earth's northern polar region
is currently as warm as it was in Viking times.

Regrettably, I don't have the free time at the moment to search for the
references.

Some doubt? The Vikings planted crops, including vineyards, in Greenland,
which unless you missed it, is completed covered in permanent ice.

Exactly!

The biggest effect of more CO2 in the atmosphere would really be faster
plant growth and increased crop yeilds. I have heard that warmer
temperatures would also be helpfull in the same regard. The figure I have
heard stated as optimum is 8 degrees--although I don't know on which scale.

I do find it ironic that the same people who claimed that parsimony was a
vice when I was in school are now the ones who say we should shut down the
western world--and of course become vegetarians. Notice that the never say
adopt sound conservation practices, convert to nuclear power, or do much of
anything else that actually works; as that would be parsimony. (End of
rant)

We're told that the unusally cold temps lately are a result of global
warming (ice caps melting).

This morning on NPR my son and I both noticed a subtle-but-important
shift in the nomenclature the "Global Warming" advocates are now
using. The argument is now being framed in terms of "Global Climate
Change", rather than "Global Warming" -- at least on NPR.

I guess the advocates of this pseudo-science got tired of being
ridiculed by folks who have been shivering through some of the coldest
weather on record. Now they can just sit back and say "What, it's
record-setting COLD? Hey, that's 'Global Climate Change' at work."

It's amazing how gullible some of the supposedly smartest people in
the world can be. Of course, this is happening in a society that
spends $7 BILLION dollars annually on...bottled *water*.

Marketing rules.

Did you see the picture of Pelosi on Drudge a few weeks ago? There was
a picture of her standing there talking about global warming next to a
picture (taken the same day) of orange crops that had frozen in
unseasonably cold weather.
