Junk science at it's finest. Just where did they get the temp readings from?

[SouthTexas]

Yep, has to be the Christian's fault!

[mc5cents]

so they forgot about the little ice age (responisble for the deaths of 15-20% of the worlds population of the time. Equivalent to about 1+ billion people today.

Hey maybe Jesus is on his way back and the Earth just wants to be the same temperature it was when he was here last time so He will be comfortable. :)

From the Liberal Bible:

And Lo...I say to you:
There shall be a time where the internal combustion engine doth wreak much havoc........

Gore-inthians 1:1

[coconutt2000]

Yes, global warming may in fact be true... but scientists still disagree on "what" is causing it.

The Earth warms up, and it cools down. It has done this for billions of years. At many points it was warmer than it is today. By all accounts, the relative stability of the last 2000 years is a freak. Change, and usually rapid change, is quite normal.

Wait a minute. Did they not just report yesterday that the Earth was the hottest it has been in 400 years???

[highlander_UW]

Well, viewed another way...if the Earth has been growing warmer over the last 2000 years then it can't really be traced to human activity because there haven't been factories for the vast majority of that time.

That is what I was thinking too.

"The Sky Is Falling"! The Sky Is Falling"! as per Chicken Little.

[NonValueAdded]

I guess the story just wasn't working with 400 years in the headline so they are trying again. The funny thing is that the message that will stick is that there are long-duration climate cycles.

Although Jesus was a humble man who did not like to brag about it, he did his part by driving a Honda:

"For I did not speak of my own accord"

John 12:49

Wake me up when Greenland is green again.

Just wondering if anyone else has the feeling that the actual report may say something quite different from the AP report on the report?

[presidio9]

Did they not just report yesterday that the Earth was the hottest it has been in 400 years???

Yes they did. Some hotshot scientist probably forgot the rule about multiplying all Global Warming statistics by five....

[Lazamataz]

Jesus's fault.
