Yep... and that about covers it but.... if you want to get all panicky and womanly over it there are any of a number of "the sky is falling" scenarios that you can subscribe to.

I could write a paper, claim to be a scientist, and get it published in the press, and there you go.

Show me one credible government body on this planet. Nevermind, you can't. None of them are.

Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, Acceptance. Sounds like the first, with a hint of the second. As I have said on this board before, when scientists can do "miracles" like predicting solar eclipses years in advance - what with all the 3 dimensional trigonometry that must involve - that tells me that they know what they're talking about. The overwhelming theme from scientists around the world is that global warming is being exacerbated or even caused directly by greenhouse gases. That BBC link shows that even the US government now accepts that global warming is being caused by US. Of course I could do as you have done here, and refute these scientific findings, but I think that would be unwise.

Is the USA responsible for thawing ice caps on Mars as well?

And for three Mars summers in a row, deposits of frozen carbon dioxide near Mars' south pole have shrunk from the previous year's size, suggesting a climate change in progress.

Beatings.

You missed beatings.

which, considering the source; is somewhat out of character.

As more and more evidence pours it, it's beginning to appear that it's quite possible that

If you chose to blindly accept someone's opinion. Go for it.

As far as I am concerned, there is no concensous about what is causing global warming. I see as many articles refuting green house gases as not. It is all speculation until it is proven.

Chose to believe what you want. I'll stick with the logical conclusions about the weather cycles. They have been proven, unlike what you are ranting about.

But he's BEEN to a hot place where the ice in his drink was MELTING!

Better put it all in say.... England. Lots of old mines there.

After a few years of mutations, the english may not be the most boring people on the planet anymore!!!

Great plan Toad!!

Oh no! - Skuzzy has zapped me with a split infinitive. I concede -

But LOL - I know it's Friday - have you been drinking?

Yes, it is America's fault, but not ALL America's fault. Only 25%, if the US Department of Energy is to be believed.

Hehe, Mr. Toad - I don't take ice in my beer or wine, and I'm not a spirits man! Can you imagine it - ice... in... wine? Only in America!

Actually, I can go back to Qatar whenever I like, but it will be too bloody hot - gets to 48° at the height of summer. I'll have to wait till towards the end of the year.

You mean a split infinitive is all I needed to do? Sheesh. Could have save myself a wall or text, wear and tear on the keyboard and fingers.

Not to mention I could have spent more time at lunch driving around.

But I am having Blue Bell right now. The Mexican food at lunch was terrific too. So I am doing my part to help.

Sounds like you'll be farting your arse off, thereby adding to the problem!
