All I know is that it was 27 degrees when I got up this morning; and it's been like this for several weeks, a fair shade more frigid than it was at any point last winter. I mean, at this point I'm thinking 'Global warming my hairy left nut!' If it's warming, it sure as hell isn't global. Seriously though, I'm all for global warming, it'll help keep my fuel oil consumption (and costs) down; which is a good thing for many reasons. But beyond that, there are innumerable windfall blessings of a little harmless global warming: longer growing seasons in many parts of the world, longer bikini seasons in many parts of the world, never having to fucking freeze my ass off again...

Check your sources man... that dude works for the Natural Resources Stewardship Project....

Here's a strategy goal of there's:
"NRSP’s first campaign is focused on dispelling the notion that Canada needs CO2 reduction plans. CO2 is very unlikely to be a substantial driver of climate change and is not a pollutant. Global climate change is primarily a natural phenomenon and so governments should focus on solving environmental problems over which we have influence (air, land and water pollution being obvious examples). NRSP will articulate a vision that also promotes assisting our most vulnerable citizens adapt to climate change while encouraging continued research in this exceptionally complex field."

That's like saying "The creation of life is too complex to be understood... it must have been Intelligent Design! Maybe we should just continue on with business as usual"

Oh yeah... and all those scientists out there proving us wrong? Yeah THEY are the ones that are wrong... oh and CO2 isn't a pollutant. wow... just wow.

ok... my comment sounds alot like a lunatic ranting...

I think I'm too tired to comment... I go sleepy sleepy now

Oorgo, I understand what you're saying, but everyone is funded by somebody with an agenda. Look who's funding the whole Global Warming (TM) agenda here in the states - Al Gore and every thinktank with an axe to grind against the administration and/or the oil companies. Which pretty much means anyone.

Everyone has an agenda, and whoever has the most $$ and the most exposure is going to be the most widely heard. The fact is that global warming and cooling has been coming and going in cycles for thousands of years. Ask your parents if they remember the global cooling hubub of the 70's. If they haven't, I'm sure they've heard of the ice age. Was it humanity's CO2 production that brought us out of that? Seriously, look at the projections of the kinds of CO2 levels that were being belched into the air during the early Industrial Age. London was farting coal dust into the air like you wouldn't believe. All I'm really doing here is trying to muddy the waters, and to show two things:
1. Everyone's got a bankroller with an agenda, hence everyone has; by proxy, and agenda
2. Man is so busy jacking himself off in the mirror that he doesn't bother to notice that the ecosystem is a living, breathing organ whose evolutionary control greatly (immensely, exponentially, pulchritudinously) outweighs that of all of man's interventions. Like your skin, Earth is covered with billions of tiny little organizsms, and it adapts to their picadillos in an effort to survive. So don't be worried that a degree or two of extra warmth is going to destroy the ecosystem. It may destroy us, but then; that may be just what the doctor ordered.

And case closed. Excellent comment shank!

No that is the truth Shank, I've said that all along... the earth will remain, it's just US that won't be here, or anywhere else for that matter. We don't have a target of another inhabitable planet and even if we did we don't have the technology to get there.

I'm such a happy person sometimes it even surprises me
