#1 Ahh, they're all from Canada. It's colder up there; global warming prolly hasn't hit there yet.

Beside, I didn't see one newsman (or Katey Couric, either) on that list, so it don't count!

#2 Good and bad.

Good: The stupidity that is the left and the green movement can finally have some hole punched into their wall of shame and blame. The public will see what a crock these people are and hopefully start moving to real alternatives to fossil fuels (see not funding the Middle East) and make nuclear power might have a chance.

Bad: The climate will change. Instead of wasting effort on bogus carbon offsets and the like liberal bullshit, we need to look at how we can lessen the impact of local change. ie, grow more heat/drought resistant foods in hotter areas, more water resistant foods in areas getting rain and flood, etc. This way we can make the hurt on ourselves minimal. Unfortunately, I think the backlash from the green bullshit movement will make the public less likely to help a movement like the above.

The climate will change, the only thing we can do is to roll with the punches and adapt.

Personally, I expect global cooling, yer lordship.

#4 I saw another piece of the puzzle yesterday at junkscience.com.

Not only is warming not happening to the extent claimed, its not even happening to the extent increased CO2 should cause. Its a mystery where that warming has gone.

However, it now appears that the CO2 atmospheric level graph that shows steadily increasing levels since 1850 may be wrong and there is a natural cycle to CO2 levels that swamps manmade emissions.

So, human activity isn't driving up temperatures because it isn't driving up CO2 levels (to anything like the extent claimed). Mystery solved.

#7 This does not mean to argue that societies should NOT invest in recycling technologies or engage in excessive or unecessary waste. Iff mankind learns one thing from God, Nature, or Old Wives' home remedies, its that goodness = ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES OR "CURES" can be found/derived from the bad. GLOBAL WARMING-COOLING > Man must successfully adapt to changes in his normal environment in order to survive. DINOSAURS BECAME FEATHERED BIRDS TO ESCAPE MOSTLY MAMMALIAN PREDATORS, KNUCKLES-CRAWLING GIANT NORTH AMER APES BECAME UPRIGHT TO BECOME "BIGFOOT", CORRECT???
