Even without the graphics, the "scientists" can not draw such sweeping conclusions from 150 years of reliable data plus scattered data points throughout geological history. The data set is too small, and 150 years is insignificant when stacked up against noticeable amounts of geological time. Unfortunately, the average citizen doesn't think about how the statistical analysis was conducted but rather listens to the conclusions that are being drawn out of thin air.
Figures don't lie, liars figure.
Global warming is just a shield for forcing the United States (and U.S. taxpayers) to transfer wealth to "developing" nations (and the dirtiest, highest-polluting economies) like China.
You and I both know that, but we will get nowhere arguing the point with the people who have a religious belief in global warming.
Confronting them with irrefutable graphical evidence, however, is another story.
I think the other transparent motive for Kyoto was that the Euroweenies wanted to hamstring the American economy and damage us as a competitor. Kyoto hurts them a lot less than it does us. Eurogreenies have already damaged their competitiveness. Our own environazis want to shrink the American economy to force us to consume fewer resources. Kyoto and global warming are simply strategies and propaganda to that end.
