Based on the available evidence, any scientist who says that is a disgrace to the profession. You can't base proof solely on faulty computer models which are full of more assumptions than hard facts.

Well of course, we'll EAT the humans. I would not want to waste them.

It's all Bush's fault.

I just want to point out that Karl Rove is a human too, so he's to blame as well.

Hmmm, 80% of auto accidents in America are caused "primarily" by white people. Get rid of us and you lower the rate.

So are we responsible for screwing up the ice age also? What was the climate like when the dinosaurs were the dominant species? I believe scientists say it was quite warm, before it got cold. Anyone think that our planet may be going thru a natural cycle since nearly everything in nature seems to do just that.

"...nearly all..."
They mean all seven of them. If you don't believe in global warming, you're not a REAL scientist.

Yeah, and if you disagree with it you are exiled to the fringe, labeled a dissident, and unable to get funding for your research, denied tenure at your university, etc. The herd mentality is alive and well with this bunch.

(I believe there is a global warming ping list; please ping to whoever keeps it)

"Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is now at its highest level in 400,000 years and it continues to rise,"

How do they know what the CO2 levels was on this date say 375,000 years ago?

Was the CO2 level higher on this date 400,001 years ago, and why?

The answer is we don't "REALLY" know but it is sooooo important that we can't take the chance.

Send $$$.

Some are egotistical enough to think that mankind can drastically alter the planet, yet we haven't even been able to stop a rain shower. Humans and what humans do is as natural as the grazing caribou. I personally am getting tired of hearing that we only do 'unnatural' things.

'Global warming' is the left-wing counterpart to 'Creation science.'

So give the Eco-Nazi a gun and hopefully the 1st human he kills to end global warming will be himself.

I mean it the only right thing to do.

But really, the best thing about this whole global warming thing is that not one lieb scientists say's we can EVOLVE to meet the challenges of our NEW environment.

Isn't that funny?

"Global warming is caused primarily by humans "

I wonder how the pseudo-scientists explain previous global warmings and coolings ---

BP = Before Present.

Link to data ignored by pseudo-scientists = http://cdiac.esd.ornl.gov/trends/temp/vostok/jouz_tem.htm

Google "Vostok ice cores" for good info.

Gee, I'm sure that volcanic eruptions, earth quakes that change the ocean currents, etc. have nothing to do with it at all... What a moroooooon.
