    and you folks actually trust what a meteorologist (aka "weather guesser" in maritime speak) has to say about weather changes?


    There are real meteorologists out there. Those guys do actual weather-related research and they know what they're talking about.

    This guy is as qualified to talk about climate as Al Roker

    Since the polar ice caps have melted about 33% in the last 20 years, i am going oput on a limb and saying global warming is real.

    That would be a much more persuasive argument if it were true. That aside, it is very likely that the global climate is changing. It always has, and it will continue to do so until the sun burns out. It is not caused by human activity and there is nothing humans can do to stop it. It's the natural course. Most scientist believe the more or less stable climate of the past few thousand years is the exception and not the rule.

    People keep saying this as if it actually means anything.

    If I have to pick someone to believe, I'll take Dr. James Hanson, Head of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies.

    I did some Googleing on the good Doctor James Hanson with the expectation of finding some logical arguments on the subject. All I could find was his excuses for why his predictions in the 1980's didn't come to pass and his claims that his predictions for the future will improve his track record and how the Doctors he debates cheat. I'd say his qualifications are about on par with the weather guesser.

    This whole global warming thing reminds me of the big flap about strip mining years ago. Strip mining was destroying the earth and if we didn't knock it off post haste we would all die and the scars on the earth would never heal.

    Some of the prettiest places you ever want to see are former strip mines from the 1940's, 1950's and 1960's in Alabama with zero EPA reclamation. Places where there was no topsoil at all the Earth made her own.
