Preach on, brother, preach on.

Climate change (the looney left's new catch phrase for global warming) is a bunch of horsedung. Anyone that thinks the earth is getting warmer has never been to Thule, Greenland...

Anyone who thinks climate change is not taking place is not aquainted with the sicence of it, I am not talking about what Al Gore or other such *****s say, nor am i refering to what the gas companies are saying, look at what actual climatologists are saying.

When you're stuck in -50C temperatures...it's rather hard to convince me that anything is "warming"..

Greenland didn't get it's name because some Viking thought it would be a selling point to potential immigrants.

"Collaps", that sociological-ecological examination of the ecocide of various old cultures by Jared Diamond that I linked above, is such an enlightening read, so I remind you of it again. And that critic in the overview which I picked to quote, also is so damn right that i also remind of the words:

"Diamond’s distinction between social and biological survival is a critical one, because too often we blur the two, or assume that biological survival is contingent on the strength of our civilizational values... The fact is, though, that we can be law-abiding and peace-loving and tolerant and inventive and committed to freedom and true to our own values and still behave in ways that are biologically suicidal. "

It was a thick 600 pages reading that I just finished earlier this month, but it was extremely well-written and well-founded, and a joy to read. I am now going into his Pulitzer-winning "Guns, Germs, and Steel", which also won an Aventis Award of the Royal Society for the best science book.

Looking only at short term local data is not really any indication of a global trend. The climate is a complex beast, when the global trend is warming that does not mean that there is an equal and proportional change all over the globe, the response is different from area to area.

Yes take a good hard look at the long term data you will see the globe does warm, then it cools, then it warms again.

Mars does the same thing. Pretty sure there arent any SUV's on mars. :rotfl:
