Editor's Introductory Note: Our planet has been slowly warming since last emerging from the "Little Ice Age" of the 17th century, often associated with the Maunder Minimum. Before that came the "Medieval Warm Period", in which temperatures were about the same as they are today. Both of these climate phenomena are known to have occurred in the Northern Hemisphere, but several hundred years prior to the present, the majority of the Southern Hemisphere was primarily populated by indigenous peoples, where science and scientific observation was limited to non-existent. Thus we can not say that these periods were necessarily "global". However, "Global Warming" in recent historical times has been an undisputable fact, and no one can reasonably deny that.
But we're hearing far too often that the "science" is "settled", and that it is mankind's contribution to the natural CO2 in the atmosphere has been the principal cause of an increasing "Greenhouse Effect", which is the root "cause" of global warming. We're also hearing that "all the world's scientists now agree on this settled science", and it is now time to quickly and most radically alter our culture, and prevent a looming global catastrophe. And last, but not least, we're seeing a sort of mass hysteria sweeping our culture which is really quite disturbing. Historians ponder how the entire nation of Germany could possibly have goose-stepped into place in such a short time, and we have similar unrest. Have we become a nation of overnight loonies?

Ping me if you find one I've missed.
bur algore wouldnt lie, would he?
Oh and I think the best part of this article is this:
There's Big Bucks to be made promoting the hoax. Take a look at this clipping from a “green” directory site:
Great News!! We now have a 34 ACRE NURSERY SITE underway in Maine with a wood and solar heated greenhouse for tree seedling production. This will enable us to grow out millions of seedlings for transplanting to deforested areas across the north woods.
If you would like to DIRECTLY OFFSET YOUR CARBON FOOTPRINT there is a PAYPAL DONATION button under the picture. ANY AMOUNT will help further the CO2 Reduction project!! Thanks!!
Editors Note: We have an even better offer: For every 10 bucks you send us, we will hold our breath for one full minute before exhaling the CO2 into the atmosphere. This “carbon offset” will make you feel good about driving your Hummer to the next Global Warming demonstration.
GREAT ARTICLE!
You always hear the GWers trying to say there is no money... Here’s a bit of proof.
5% of the budget now?

“Have we become a nation of overnight loonies?” YES
Excellent! Thanks for the ping! (Did you see the one about the new sci-fi movie about global warming? LOLOLOL!)
milwguy,
This is a fantastic article, as is the one the author linked to. Thank you for the reference.
This is the best response to the AGW dweebs I have read.
Thanks, am sending it to a local science prof at Calvin College with whom I have had a long and ongoing discussion.
He calls me a “DENIALIST”. I think I want a bumper sticker with that on it.
