I am willing to entertain the argument that the global climate is warming. Here in western Pennsylvania, the winters are substantially warmer and we have less snow than twenty years ago (and I am very aware of the dangers of generalizing experience at one location over a limited number of years to the entire world).

When I vacationed in Alaska several years ago, it was generally accepted that the glaciers on the Kenai Penisula were retreating. There's plenty of other evidence to support the argument (some of the evidence may be cherry-picked or otherwise questionable to be sure).

However, the Alaskan glaciers started retreating 100 years ago - long before anthropomorphic global warming would have any effect.

So, sure, the Earth's getting warmer and there's not a thing we can do about it.

I dunno about that ... if we could get Teddy into orbit at just the right distance, his shadow might just do the trick!
