Fortunately the wackos were wrong about Global

why can't we get an accurate 3-day weather forecast or find a cure for a cold? Excellent points, sir. I always wondered how meteriorologists could keep their jobs when they're only right half the time?

It beats me, though I wonder how many meteorologists & 'climatologists' are on the govt payroll.

In another display of pitch-perfect priorities, the U.N. has released its findings on cow flatulence. There's quite a lot of it.
The 400-page study, $27 million of which probably went to Saddam Hussein for old times' sake, discovered that the planet's livestock, including 1.5 billion cattle, produce 18 percent of greenhouse gases.
Apparently the beasts of the field do nothing but wander around all day asking their brethren to "pull my hoof."
Every time a cow feels a small sense of relief, a polar bear goes through the ice.

The preferred model for a nice, controlled population is a dense city where your small apartment has a tiny fridge stocked with bean curd molded into pleasant, food-like shapes. Trains take you to your job, which is either building trains, fixing trains, designing public service posters for trains, cleaning trains or writing software to operate trains. Once a week you'll pull on your best taupe-hued hemp jumpsuit and take the train to the biweekly Culture Expo to hear something held up to enlightened ridicule (anything's game, except Islam and Global Warming).
ROFL!

Question #1 should be always; If there is global warming is it good or bad?
I maintain it is vastly more beneficial.
I could not agree more. History shows that humans generally thrived during past warm periods and were often decimated during cold periods. The same applies to much of life on Earth throughout the history of life.
As for human industrialization causing the current warming period, the graph in Vaquero's post says it all.

And while the U.S. is the world's biggest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions (20.6% in 2000, compared to our 2.1% , which put us in ninth place) when you break the numbers down on a comparative basis, we, uh, stink. The US is not a net emitter of greehouse gases. We absorb all of our CO2 emissions plus 33% of what comes to us.
To: <1/1,000,000th%
While I don't disbelieve you, a link to documentation of same might prove useful in future.
