    Pluto is a planet, wait no it's not. T-Rex was a hard core predator that ruled the dinosaur world, no wait, he was a scavenger who's upper limbs were not developed enough to be so. SARS is is the next global epidemic, no wait it's the Avian bird flu, no now it's the Swine flu. Y2K is going to wreak havoc on the world. The Mayans know when the world will end

    Earth people love drama!! Politicians love to push their agenda.

    No Idea. The fact is that Science is never guaranteed with 100% accuracy and data can be manipulated. The fact is that we have had Ice Ages and Warm Cycles long before man started polluting it.

    Not only considered, but are (were?).

    I have no idea if it is the same group even if they do share the name.


    They do have pretty good weather though. :)

    Yep. That was my point.

    Also, look into Europe and the carbon credits their scamming out of businesses:( They have billions worth of unused credits now and nothing to do with them but......what......what.....That's right, pay to scare more people about the terror's of Global Warming.

    I flew Virgin Airlines one time and after soaking me for the flight they asked if I wanted to volunteer to buy some carbon credits to off set the amount of fossil fuels the jet burned on my behalf:) I kid you not.

    Personally, I believe the earth goes through warming and cooling cycles as shown by ice cores pulled from the arctic. I also think that man might have an effect on the intensity of these swings.

    It was just an online form that I just ignored. It's funny how the liberal Europe really screws over private businesses. The unions want the governments to run all the businesses because they rule the governments and you can look at Greece and Spain to see how that works out.

    Makes me wonder though, if we are speeding it up at unprecendented rates. Could lead to off the chart swings up or down.

    The Earth has warm and cold cycles just like a women. Take away the greenhouse theory and if you pollute the air you usually have a cooling period like after a major eruption of a Volcano.

    Here's my question... If global warming is causing the ice to melt in the poles and they are uncovering things that have been covered in ice for hundreds of years doesn't that mean the ice levels had to get that low at some point in the past? Sounds like a cycle to me.
