"Warm earthers". Scotty and O'Reilly are one of the very few that still
thinks despite science, that global warming isn't happening and isn't
directly related to greenhouse gases.

We have been in a warming cycle since the last major ice age 13,000 years
ago, except for couple minor ice ages.

The thing that indicates this may be somewhat man made is CO2 levels
track population growth for the last 8000 years.
That is traced to agriculture as much as anything else but we have
been burning stuff for energy that long too.

Are the global warming fear mongers ready for nuke power yet?
That is the only real way to create the kind of power, upward of 10
billion people, will need in the next few decades.

The CNN movie had an interesting factoid. An I phone uses at least as
much power as a refrigerator when you take into account the towers and
servers that make it go.

We are affecting the warming but how much really are we actually affecting.
And I agree, nuclear is probably the only viable energy source that can
supply the energy we need. I do not see fusion on the horizon, but the
ideal would be cold fusion. I think that sadly that we may not be going
towards 10 billion people, but with the economic meltdown possible, and the
amount of fanatics in the world, we may be on the way to killing a couple
billion.
