Maybe it will provide some ammo for all the participants in the
humongous
thread below.

Bishoop....

The righties won't watch it. They'd rather stick there head in the sand
than be informed, because Rush And Hannity tell them to.

It's more like following the party line for the "warmers".

Any scientist who actually has studied the issue says it's bull****.

Really?

Union of Concerned Scientists:
http://www.ucsusa.org/global_warming...gerprints.html
States in part:
In its 2001 report, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
stated, "There is new and stronger evidence that most of the warming
observed over the last 50 years is attributable to human activities."
[3] Carbon dioxide from fossil fuel burning and land clearing has been
accumulating in the atmosphere, where it acts like a blanket keeping
Earth warm and heating up the surface, ocean, and atmosphere. As a
result, current levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are higher
than at any time during the last 650,000 years. [4,5,6]

NASA scientists rip Bush on Global Warming (and the typical head in the
sand)
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6341451/
Which states in part:
Hansen said the scientific community generally agrees that temperatures
on Earth are rising because of the greenhouse effect - increased
emissions of carbon dioxide and other materials into the atmosphere
that trap heat. Most of that increase comes from burning fossil fuels.

Theres many, many more. As a matter of fact, most scientists who have
spoken about Al Gore's movie says he's spot on in a lot of cases, and
not far from spot on the rest of the movie.

I'd suppose you only consider "any scientist who has actually studied
the issue" just the one's who have a right wing agenda, correct?


The models show that increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will cause a
global average temperature increase. How much is debatable and it's hard to
determine if the one degree temp increase in average temperatures over the
last 50 years is due to the sun or carbon dioxide as variations in global
temperatures have varied much more than one degree over the last eighty
years.

So what if temps increase two more degrees over then next 50 years (if the
model is correct). So the seas go up 18 inches, we have stronger hurricanes
and storms. More flooding....higher crop yields....less cancer....some
islands in the pacific (2 foot above sea level) will flood out....less
heating oil used in the north (milder winters)....fewer fires .....it's a
mixed bag.

Conservatives are traditionally the ones who resist change....here it seems
the lefties don't like change....they must own allot of that waterfront
property.
