I go with the theory that Earth goes by 250 year warming and cooling periods. Right now we are going into the cooling period. There's as much data to support this as there is for global warming. Just look at the past couple thousand years of climate trends.

Just look at the past couple thousand years of climate trends. That's kinda hard to do since we've really only had thermometers for, what, the last 200 years? However, look at the indirect evidence, like paintings of skaters on the canals of Amsterdam in the early 1700's and other such "odd" phenomenon.

Because it's BS, and I love that so many people STILL believe it. I'm curious, how much snow does it take to snow you in?

At one point in the Crusades, it was ridiculously hot (Battle of Hattin, etc), more so than usual in the Middle East. But at another point, it actually snowed in Jerusalem. And what happened in the last couple years? It indeed snowed in Jerusalem, something that does not happen often. Snow in Jerusalem makes global warming very hard to believe.

Science and Industry Posts: 6,792 Group: Veterans Member #86 Joined: November 1, 2004	Now, I do agree Al Gore should stop embarrassing himself, and I do want to club some seals right now and sell the meat and organs to a Japanese seafood restaurant. But we must not forget, it is summertime in the southern hemisphere and yesterday was 116 F in Melbourne, Australia, the hottest ever recorded there. 35 confirmed dead from brushfires in rural/suburban Australia. Getting roasted to death is a pretty depressing way to go out. :sad: http://www.theage.com.au/national/death-toll-rises-from-bushfires-20090208-80jv.html?page=-1 Edited by Tristan da Cunha, Feb 7 2009, 10:13 PM.

So when I see a freak inferno from one end of the horizon to the other end, bearing down at me at 60 mph, I can shoot myself in the head to avoid getting consumed by a hellish fireball.
