On the surface the data shows that there is a melting, but really it's all rhetoric, he's crouched down underneath in a hollow set of fake steps.

Warm is the new Cool. But even moderate people are getting sick of this crap now.. for some real facts check out Penn and Tellers Bullshit Environmental Hysteria - http://www.videosift.com/video/Penn-Teller-Bullshit-Environmental-Hyst eria

Getting environmental campaigners to sign a petition banning dihydrogen monoxide - classic!

The environmentalist movement has been infiltrated by anti-globalist anarchists and has been for a long time. This is why Patrick Moore left Greenpeace.

"It is so arrogant for humans to think we can change"
True too.

"It is so arrogant for humans to think"
It works too!

It is so arrogant for humans to think we can change the environment. We are in a natural cycle.

Those who say the average temperature is up 0.2 of a degree from 100 years ago do not know what they are talking about. We did not have such precise thermometers 100 years ago. If in 100 years the average temperature is rising, then lets talk, but for now, there is nothing different in the weather we are seeing, from the amount or lack of hurricaines and tornadoes to the changes in heavier or lighter winters to the amount of hot and humid summers.

People did not report 24/7 from every corner of the world and also did not record things the way they are recorded now. There were not televisions and news traveled by train then by telegraph, if it was available, and having a hot summer or cold winter or hurricane was not necessarily what was talked about.

That 'hole' in the ozone may have been there all along but we are just now in our lifetime able to see it.

Man, maybe I should stop washing my hair, too, if that's what's hot nowadays.

Yes climate change is the correct term. Human can change the environment but what we have seen the past 50 years has nothing to do with humans. It is a natural cycle of the Earth and anything we do to stop it will likely only make it worse. We do not even produce enough CO2 to heat the plant. We would need to increase production of CO2 by 100 fold to even make a difference.

@ wookie - "melt babies" A-hahahah! funny

Actually, the CFCs in aerosols (sp?) were supposedly ripping a hole in the ozone layer.

Remember the ozone? Remember how our use of CFCs was a global catastrophe, and we needed to take drastic action in order to save the world?

No, me neither.

Oh wait, we're having one of the coldest years on record. NVM

Pfft.

Now when they ask, I get a paper bag lined with a plastic bag.

.....yeah, tell me how we HAVE to give billions in 'carbon offsets' to the UN to 'redistribute' to the third-world countries.

(Maybe they could just take the billions in Nigeria that nice emailing lawyer says I keep inheriting. There's a solution!)

Personally, I lose more sleep over depletion of natural resources and dependence on oil than on global warming, which I think has been picked up on as a "fashionable" trend by the mainstream media.

I just find it wrong for people like Al Gore to steal money from people for his own profit. And now the rumor is Obama went to Gores house and might ask him to take a cabinet seat.
