Many damaging effects of climate change are already basically irreversible, researchers declared Monday, warning that even if carbon emissions can somehow be halted temperatures around the globe will remain high until at least the year 3000.

Will Remain High? The temperatures of today =/- 2 degree's is what allowed the glaciers to thaw and for humans to evolve.

By the year 3,000? By then we'll have some accurate statistical data and we will have likely gone through at least one other "little Ice Age." I'm sure some point and click scientist will explain this as having to do with human behavior.

By the way, will somebody tell him that the earth has been cooling now for almost 5 years. That's probably the result of Global Warming as well.

Have you ever noticed that a 5-year fluctuation in temperature going down is irrelevant to MMGW nuts but a 5-year warming period was always proof positive of it. When global temperatures drop, we need to understand the long term aspect of global warming. But when it is a warmer year than the previous, we're all going to die in catastrophic floods within the next 20 years.

Global warming or climate change is a perfect scientific theory. It cannot be falsified. Any contrary evidence is dismissed. Skeptics are demonized and uncertainty in conclusions is ignored. Difficulties about forecasting far into the future are not even considered. Reasoning about causation is limited to “the change cannot be attributed to anything else.” Politicians ensure an increasing share of research dollars. The scientific community responds with an ever increasing appetite for doomsday research whose findings justify even larger research budgets.
