Global warming is everywhere, it comes and it goes, could it be cyclical????????????? Naw, that requires common sense and no lefties have any of that?

Good post, but I don't see why this is surprising. Afterall, the North Atlantic was warm enough to allow the Vikings to sail to N America in the 800's and settle there for a few generations. They couldn't do that today... (assuming there were still Vikings, of course)

Al Gore invented the Ice Age.

Dont forget the Ice Age of 10,000 years ago that produced thick glaciers over much of North America that both came and WENT; on its own with no help from huminoids,,,unless they produced zillions of campfires emitting billions and billions of tons of greenhut gasses back then.... Proving the earth/sun can fluctuate temperatures to a great degree on its own volition.

And the PUBLIC SCHOOL 3rd graders interviewed by John Stossel scream, "No, they're lying!"

Little Ice Age set in around 1300, during which the world cooled dramatically

Some people theorize that this cooling help spread the plague.

Tens and tens of thousands of years ago, this planet was so warm, the Sahara was a grass land. (High humidity)

Until the enviro-weenies can explain how global warming took place prior to PEOPLE, I'm not listening.

This is from a friend's e-mail:

James Burke talks about this in "Connections" -- The 13th was THE GREATEST OF CENTURIES, because the weather had never been so good ...

The way the "North Atlantic Conveyor Belt" works is that if you pump enough warm water up to the ice caps, they melt, releasing fresh water into the North Atlantic ... Since fresh water is lighter than salt water, the polar water stays at the surface while the warming tropical water sinks ... This creates what you can think of as a wall of fresh water that blocks the Gulf Stream from getting to Europe ... Thus cooling the climate and tripping off the next ice age ...

That is the real danger of global warming : That it will cause an ice age ...

In that "paradigm," more evidence of a warm middle ages doesn't discredit global warming ... It is also troubling in highlighting how the global temperature changes quickly ...

The evidence also shows that the period of the Roman Empire was very warm and things cooled down after 450, bringing the "Dark Ages" ...

Since the earth itself pours out more gases than we do, I'm not very worried about most "greenhouse" gases, though the extremely odd chemicals we produce are best regulated, because they will last longer than plutonium ... For carbon, methane, water vapor, etc., cows and termites are the main sources, not man ...

Something Steven Gould said is right ... to focus on man instead of bacteria is to focus on the tail, not the dog ...
