Global warming is a political issue. It's been around ever since they talked
about a new ice age coming back in the 70s. They changed that because of no
interest and global warming replaced it. Kyoto was supposed to be the answer
and now it's all but dead. The signees of the treaty have not reduced any of
their emissions but they still blame the U.S. for it's failure even though
everybody acjknowedges it wouldn't cure anything. The whole movement is seen
by many to be a continuous money supply in order to keep all those "experts"
from having to drive cabs for a living.

The warming may be somewhat real to some degree but it has been explained by
many knowledgeable people as climate cycles (and there are many of them) and
cycles within cycles. Sun output, orbital variations and other known factors
have been cited but no one really knows how and why climate has changed
natuarally over the eons. Climate change is always happening.


"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed --and
hence clamorous to be led to safety--by menacing it with an endless series
of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." H.L. Mencken
