NM thought it was a different link.  :)
I bet I have saved more CO2 emissions at work than all the lefties on this board combined.  Which clearly allows me to use as much energy as I want.  :D

Last month, government-funded scientists at the University of Washington in Seattle made the key admission that the troposphere is indeed warming at 0.2C per decade - precisely as predicted by the main global-warming models. The UK Government's chief scientist warned the same month that if global warming continues unchecked, by the end of this century Antarctica is likely to be the only habitable continent.

Ah, government experts.   :rolleyes:

This really isn't a left or right issue. It just a case of how concerned should we be.

No, the issue is how seriously do we take these experts.  When someone says "precisely as predicted by the main global-warming models," I can't help but ignore the rest of the message.  Global weather models are wrong 90% of the time, but if some government researchers decide they were "precise" on one occassion are we supposed to take them seriously?  I have a broken watch which is "precise" twice a day.

How many times has the earth's climate changed from ice age to temperate back to ice etc.? How many times has it changed before modern industrial mankind got here?

you don't need experts to tell you anything....

just look at China and Mexico.....people actually wearing mask because of the smog....

christ wake up and smell the pollution....

Ice caps melting.....experts are the one's who actually live there and tell you....hey man!! that ice cap was 50 feet tall...now its 10 feet tall

If that ain't global warming I'm fuggin rich and don't need to work for the rest of my life....

He's not arguing specifics.  These things can be as trivial as a quarter inch and still have huge implications.
