Not "people" but "U.S. voters".

That's greats, polls also show that the majority of people on this
planet worship an extraterrestrial, so what?

Cheers

Good retort Martin.

Gordon, here are two quote from recent articles with links.

Make up your own mind.

And please remember at least 49.5% of US population voted for Bush in
2000, and few more in 2004. So much for the intelligence of crowds.
Popularity does not equal science.

QUOTES

A major U.S. government report on Arctic climate, prepared with input
from eight Canadian scientists, has concluded that the recent rapid
warming of polar temperatures and shrinking of multi-year Arctic sea ice
are "highly unusual compared to events from previous thousands of years."

The findings, released on Friday, counter suggestions from some skeptics
that such recent events as the opening of the Northwest Passage and
collapse of ice shelves in the Canadian Arctic are predictable phenomena
that could be explained as part of a natural climate cycle rather than
being driven by elevated carbon emissions from human activity.

A summary of the report - described as "the first comprehensive analysis
of the real data we have on past climate conditions in the Arctic," by
U.S. Geological Survey director Mark Myers - warns that "sustained
warming of at least a few degrees" is probably enough "to cause the
nearly complete, eventual disappearance of the Greenland ice sheet,
which would raise sea level by several metres."

With funding from the National Science Foundation's Office of Polar
Programs, Steig and colleagues set out to reconstruct Antarctica's
recent past. Ground-based stations have recorded temperatures since
1957, but most of those readings come from the peninsula and areas on
the edges of the continent. But at the same time, scientists such as
study co-author Joey Comiso of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in
Greenbelt, Md., have been gathering measurements from a series of
Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) instruments deployed on
satellites since 1981.

The new analysis shows that Antarctic surface temperatures increased an
average of 0.22°F (0.12°C) per decade between 1957 and 2006. That's a
rise of more than 1°F (0.5°C) in the last half century. West Antarctica
warmed at a higher rate, rising 0.31°F (0.17°C) per decade. The results,
published Jan. 22 in Nature, confirm earlier findings based on limited
weather station data and ice cores.

West Antarctica is particularly vulnerable to climate changes because
its ice sheet is grounded below sea level and surrounded by floating ice
shelves. If the West Antarctic ice sheet completely melted, global sea
level would rise by 16 to 20 feet (5 to 6 meters).

Ah, but what is the cause to this effect? "Global Warming" is the easy
answer, but here is another: Pacific Rim Volcanic Activity. While the
Pacific "Ring of Fire" is generally thought of as more or less an inverted
"U" shape, it actually extends to the Antarctic Plate.

In any event, we'll eventually have new coastlines to explore while
cruising.

Have you considered the possibility that you could be out of step?

It was never human caused. We're in one of the coldest periods of Earth's
history. (Religious nuts who think Earth is 6000 years old, dispite a
mountain of evidence to the contrary, please ignore all this and pray.)

John died of a heart attack in 2004, but his legacy of truth about
climatology's lies and scare tactics lives on.

In 1841, Capt. Sir James Clark Ross marked the mean sea level on the Isle
of the Dead in Tasmania for us. (It's a _V_ mark in the shade of the rock
sticking out in the middle of the picture.)

John Daly did an extensive study and concluded the sea level has only risen
a few mm since the 1841 mark was made....blowing the sea level rising
nonsense out of the water....

Look over both these sites, John Daly's legacy for us. It's an amazing
place to spend an evening.....
