The recent climate report was the work of 2,500 scientists from 130 countries. It was so convincing that Fox News said that global warming was 'most likely' being caused by human activity. I don't confess to understanding the science, but if Fox News are convinced I suggest you should be too.
If you want to be convinced then try: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/shared/bsp/hi/pdfs/02_02_07_climatereport.pdfOtherwise, replace your head in the sand, but whatever you do don't fart because that could have severe implication for the planet.

Saw a movie about denial last night, French, called Under the Sand. Just plain ordinary denial, just one person's life ruined by it. Rather on the boring side, even if not a bad study of severe denial.No I don't know. I admit I don't know. And without speaking for him, as Robert said [paraphrasing of course] earlier today... just because I'm not with you, doesn't mean I'm against you.I'm not in denial. I want some fucking proof... not conjecture. Not predictions based on extrapolations on data gathered from assumptions and unfalsifiable hypotheses based on broadly ranging, anecdotal 'evidence'. I freely admit that things are happening, but what is weather? States of emergency are raised when 19 people die? Come off it! Every day, there press (your good liberal press mostly) churns up scare after scare. The same day they talk of flood, they talk of drought. The same day they report a heat wave, they report -35 wind chill in Chicago (this is certainly NOT anything that is unheard of) because the corporate line of all the papers, tv, news etc. is "talk about what is current until there is somethign else to talk about", so right now, since it's current, EVERYTHING is "global warming". Well, they've overstepped their welcome. Even 'normal' people have heard enough. Come back when you have some real knowledge. You just 'know something is happening and maybe it's too late' and then the next day "it's already too late and we're screwed for the next 1000 years". Well, I ask you again...Without getting emotional... answer my questions? Where are the definitions of the terms that are used to scare society into doing whatever the 'people in know' say? I just want them to tell me what they mean.[insult edited] paul _________________ [insert pithy quote here] Paul Stone pas@xxxxxxxx Leamington, ON.
