Global warming is NOT a hoax. It's real. What's NOT true is the spin that humans have anything to do with it. This planet has gone through icy cycles for millions of years. We just happen to be coming out of one since humans have been able to write thier observations down.

Ahem,

Global Warming IS a hoax.

There is the normal cyclical warming and cooling that the planet has experienced repeatedly over time. The earth is not a static thing, and the rate of warming and cooling is going to increase or decrease as indicated in a bell curve and a normal standard deviation.

Human factors may contribute to the current warming trend, but the the activity of the Sun, sunspots, solar flares, certainly contribute more to any warming than the internal combustion engine or other human activities.

I look at pictures of the Northeastern US from 100 years ago. Most of it was clear cut and tilled. Much of what was once farmland has returned to forest. Again going back to the non-static nature of the planet.

I frankly don't see global warming a anything outside of the normal activity of the planet and the presumption of these imbeciles who think that they can control the climate borders on irrational.

The earth is a self regulating system which reaches its own equilibrums, which we may not like, but humanity have absolutely no control over.

I agree we do have Global Warming but it has nothing to do with human influence.

Scientist are just understanding the influence of the *Sun* on earth, does the Susnpot Theory have influence? well right now we are at a minimum which in the past scientists thought might have played a part in the Little Ice Age, the maximum sunspot cycle will be in 2011 2012 which they say will have a cataclysmic effect on earth...

What is the temperature trend from 1998 to 2006?

Global warming is NOT a hoax. It's real.

Where's your proof?

Just because 'station records' near urban areas show warming DOES NOT mean so-called 'global;' warming is occurring ...

Foor instance, balloon and Microwave Sounding Units do not indicate this 'global' phenom.
