Avro, you are a ******* moron. Troll elsewhere.

I agree with everything you say, except "Right now the heating appears to be the result of humans. At least that's what the scientists are saying."

They aren't - some climatologists are saying that and some business people are saying that. Scientists who base their beliefs on data are not saying that.

RedToo.

True

But the real reason behind it all is not MORE GOVERNMENT REVENUE.. it is all about MORE GOVERNMENT CONTROL

Changes in global temperatures are normal..

Thinking man had anything to do with it STARTING it, or worse yet, thinking we could do anything to STOP it is just plane silly.

The good news is more and more people are waking up to this hoax..

10 years ago, had you said what you said above in a forum you would have been unanimously labeled as a crack pot..

But what with all the data tampering discovered in the last few years by the so called 'scientist' the numbers of those who once believed in it are diminishing and thus only a handful still try and blame man for it instead of the big orange ball that shows up in the sky each day! ;)

You seem to be missing the point (no surprise there). The temp is rising. That means there is a source that is increasing the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere. If volcanic activity is not increasing, the CO2 must be coming from somewhere else.

David, I think you're wasting your time here. This lot are not only ignorant, but proud of it...

Yes, they are. It's not "some" who are saying it, it's almost all of them.

The sun yes ......................... and still no post from you showing your evidence that definitively puts man as the culprit .................

My (slightly mad messsianic christian) ex-girlfriend is doing a masters in sustainable agricultural which according to the standards of this thread makes her a climate expert.

Now according to her if Climate Change was real then God would have mentioned it in the bible. Furthermore science got evolution totally wrong so how can we trust it on climate change.

She is also unhappy climate change legislation may cost her money so she is generally opposed to it on principle.

Only 'slightly'?

This isn't science class and I'm not your teacher. You'll have to look up the evidence ion your own. I'm just telling you what the scientific consensus is.

BTW, I'm pretty sure that climatologists did not ignore the sun as a possible cause.
