It was snowing today, so global warming must be a hoax. Riiiight.
n4zou: Yes, there was a warming, and yes there was also a "mini ice age" around 1100 A.D. I missed the coming ice age scare, wasn't it related to a "nuclear winter"? Was there a body of scientific research behind it, or was it a bunch of loons that think they know more than people who spend a lifetime studying earth science? The ice core data is irrefutable: an increse in C02 is going to result in an increase in temperature. Yes, the planet is warming, and yes, it is the result of human activity... this is not my opinion, but that of the International Union of Geophysicists, that all signed off on this in 1999, I believe. If you know something they don't, why don't you enlighten them?
