The earth is a cinder bathed in the flames of solar radiation. A flicker in its magnetic field would have more effect than all the activities of man.

I thought it was 400 years.
I guess they decided that if they were going to lie, might as well go big.

And the Sun's activity has absolutely nothing to do with it? I think they ought to just shut their boreholes;)

I guess the heat 2000 years ago was from all those Roman orgies? Rome would last another 470 years so the extra heat back then didn't affect civilization so much did it?

Yeah? Well what explains why Mars' icecaps are disappearing?
Bush's fault!

Exactly...yesterday they said 400...but I guess their math or science was messed up...like by 500%!
If they can;t get that right, guess what? Probably don't have the other right either.
Even if you give them the benefit of the doubt...they are saying now that 2000 years ago it was hotter. How? and if it was...well, it sure looks like the earth and mankind all survived it somehow.

A panel of top climate scientists told politicians that the Earth is heating up and that "human activities are responsible for much of the recent warming".
Including anthropologists, botanists, zoologists, entymologists, oceanologists...everthing but meteorologists and actual climatologists who do not yet share this "overwhelming" consensus.

Very well said.
Concerning global temperatures, the average annual temperatures in the United States do not show great changes between 1895 and 1997: The centennial trend was only +0.022°C per decade, and for the period 1940-1997, +0.008°C per decade (Gordon, ed., European Science and Environment Forum, 1998, p. 52).

Another triumph of junk science. Global warming, DDT, breast implants, Sen. John Edwards' legal career, the list goes on;)

Even if this " Global Warming " is true ? < BR> I need to ask the Liberals/Democrats/Environmentalist , are you willing to give up any thing that make greenhouse gases either in your house, or car , in order to help our environment ?
Are you willing to give up your car for the sake of mother Earth ? and walk to work and shopping ?
Are you willing to not have heating ( either coal, oil, carbon fuels ) in your house in order to help mother Earth ? to put your effort in to clean up greenhouse gasses ?
Until you say yes, we won't listen to your " Global Warming " argument, and take you seriously.

There were some serious vineyards in England a few centuries ago. Now its too cold to grow good grapes there.
But I suppose the satellite data from the last 2000 years has to be believed, er I mean the study of the way the ice melted in the last few years projecting minute changes in the climate backwards...is really solid science...no really...er uhm...we need more funding for research...yeah that's the ticket...or else your all gonna die...after all we are...uhm...err..."scientists"...yeah that's the ticket, we specialize in making it look real technical...yeah...

The Bush administration has maintained that the threat is not severe enough to warrant new pollution controls that the White House says would have cost five million Americans their jobs.
Just for fun let's say we did that and went back to the 18Th. century, anything that we would acomplish would be wiped out by third world growth as they spend so much on keeping their countries clean, Junk Science.

4,000 years ago, around the time of Noah, the world was the wettest.
To: familyop
Well assuming they are right, the earth survived being this hot 2000 years ago. I think it will manage now.

...agreed! I've been subscribed to a sunspot/aurora alert list for a few years and have read some relevant information along the way while waiting to take photographs.
