#2 There have been more tidbits coming out recently on how this stuff is BS, and it seems like the more it gets questioned, the more outlandish these claims get.

#3 Idjits.

MT Etna spewed as much stuff between October 2002--January 2003 as all human caused emissions for 7 years worldwide.

Eruptions 2004-till present here.

Nuff said.

#4 We know how to spend your money.

A multi-million dollar study is being conducted in Aspen, for the leaders of this movement meet for a 3 month conference to further study the impact of decreasing temperatures and ice.

#6 And of course Mt Erebus in Antarctica erupting straight up into the "ozone hole" has no effect on things at all. It's spray cans and jet planes, man.

#9 Well, they can "feel global warming's pain", by watching the ice melt in their free well drinks.

#12 ". . .why, it could mean the end of life as we know it."

"Oh, no! Not that! That's my favorite show!"

"Yeah, I know. That Kelli Osborne sure is hot."

"Yeah."

"Anyway, we need to convene a Plenary Conference to appoint a UN Working Group to flesh out a Preliminary Plan of Action so we can present it at the next Global Impending Doom Conference."

"Hey, right . . . and we can hold it in Los Angeles, charge it all to our expense accounts, and have Kelli Osborne be the honorary chairman."

"You're a genius!"

#13 Jeepers, if it's that serious, then maybe they ought to get China and India on board their plan now instead of just urging the formation of "a climate group".

Re Seantor Snowe:
"Snowe is co-sponsor of the McCain-Lieberman 'Climate Stewardship Act of 2003' which calls for mandatory domestic reductions of carbon dioxide. In September 2003, the bill received 43 votes in the Senate, though could likely garner more support should the legislation be revisited in the next Congress."

Okay, junk science, no India, no China, and only 43 votes in the U.S. Senate. The only warming here is these do-gooders pissing in the wind.

#15 Did this announcement coincide with a viewing of "The Day After Tommorow", which just came out on DVD? I heard Al Gore was a guest speaker.

#17 Via Bros. Judd, maybe they know the jig is up and trying to grab all they can - and those are his comments, not mine:

SAVE CANADA: BURN YOUR (MAPLE) LEAVES.
Humans 'may have saved world from ice age': HUMANS may have unwittingly saved themselves from a looming ice age by interfering with the Earth's climate, according to a new study. (John von Radowitz, Irish Examiner, 1/24/05)

The findings from a team of American climate experts suggest that were it not for greenhouse gases produced by humans, the world would be well on the way to a frozen Armageddon. . . .

The research showed that without the human contribution to global warming, Baffin Island would today be in a condition of "incipient glaciation".

"Portions of Labrador and Hudson Bay would also have moved very close to such a state had greenhouse gas concentrations followed natural trends," said the scientists.

The experiment had probably underestimated the amount of ice that would exist today in north-east Canada without human interference, they said.

This has been obvious for a while to those paying attention (basically, just Harry and me).
