Maybe this will help. The earth is 3 degrees colder today
than in 1940, in the 11th century the continent Greenland
was farmland occupied by Vikings, now it's a mile thick
iceberg. A simple temperature statement slays anything
these idiots have to say.

The only scientific fact they have is that the Earth's surface temperature has increased by 0.5+ degrees since 1930 in the northern equatorial regions.

So you can say global warming is a fact but what does the term global warming mean? That is the question, if you find it means that based upon only scientific fact the temperature has risen around the globe in this region then its true, there is global warming.

Everything else is speculative, has the rest of the globe experienced similar rises in temperature?

What is causing it?

If the global climate models show the Temperature is going to increase what can we do about it. My position is nothing, so therefore if you believe the radical climate forecasts government should be doing something other than trying to reduce so called green house gases.

If you haven't heard, even the EU Space Admin said if the Kyoto treaty was implemented with every country in the world participating it would still fail to stop the projected rise in temperature predicted in these models.
