This article by Dr Singer rebuffs this silly human caused global warming theory. We humans have always had a over inflated opinion of ourselves. We do not affect global warming, ....IT affects us. We are but passengers on this spaceship called earth and we take what is server to us. By example just one large volcano spews out more greenhouse gasses in one year than all the pollutants we puny humans have made in the last 1000 years. Please understand and read this paper by Dr. Singer. also understand that Al GORE and his "team" who won the Nobel joke prize, LIED! Yup lied. Why? You may ask because It make$ lot$ of money and gives him power. Gores personal worth went from a mere one million + dollars to now over 100 million dollars, Thats WHY ! read the posts by Artyom, he gets IT . and read Singers article >> here http://www.hillsdale.edu/hctools/ImprimisTool/archives/2007_08_Imprimis.pdf ================================================================================================================== Global Warming: Man-Made or Natural?

If the developed countries indeed have the technologies that they are so anxious to provide to "poor" countries that are somehow more climate-challenged then the rich, then why do not these same rich countries USE their own miraculous technologies to eliminate carbon emmissions? Why not show that they work? And what kind of carbon-producing activities can these miracle technologies address. Somehow, everything sounds hollow, stupid and lacking even the modicum of intelligent lying necessary to fool the dumbed-down population. In fact, the whole thing is so stupid (and then one gets Nobel prize for it), that it defies the imagination. The biggest poluters, cure thyselves! The little island states, such are the breaks. Some islands appear, others disappear. It has been like that forever, and will not magically stop because we can train cows how not to produce methane. For as long as 75% of metereological stations in Russia have not been included into the calculations of temperature world-wide, there is no point discussing any warming. And for as long as we are being treated as infants when it comes to the Southern Hemisphere being COOLER and ice larger then fifty years ago, I will just ask the advocates to get real.

I think there is no question that the climate is changing but the big question is if human activity is causing it and how much will we be taxed over something we have no control. It sounds like an excuse for someone or some organization to extract a lot of money and power to rule over other nations as a world governing agency ...
