| Tribunus Laticlavius | And I fully expect Big Oil, their cohorts in Washington (like Sen James Imhofe), and other proponents of the-world-is-flat club to be out their still denying what is plainly evident. Its just like big tobacco in the 1980-1990s when they went about trying to stop the information that smoking is addictive (and that cigarettes are engineered to be addictive) and that smoking causes cancer.

| 100% Space Shuttle Door Gunner | I left Washington DC yesterday night (Tuesday 2-13-07). All flight out of Reagan National were cancelled. I was flying back to Fort Lauderdale. Flights were cancelled to Fort Lauderdale!!!!!!! I was able to get on a flight to Fort Myers. It's two and a half hours north west of where I live but I wanted to leave that forzen winter wonder land. Hell, the places up north are under something like 10 feet of snow. Global Warming my ass. Global Warming is real but it's not man made. Nature works like a roller coster. There are ups and downs. 200 years ago was a minor ice age. Right now we are in the warming stages. The sun in pumping out more solar radiation. And lastly, when a Volcano eurpts. It pumps out for CO2 than what the entire human population has produced since we started making fire.

| Tribunus Laticlavius | It all seems perfectly logical to me.... These are warm snowstorms, go onnnn, run outside in your swimmers, see if I'm not right. Soon some men will come along with a nice white coat that buckles up at the back to stop you getting overheated. They are nice men.

| U of B and B Alumnus | Proof seems to be subjective.... and on this issue seems to be drawn down Party lines. What I find funny is that belief in an invisible man in the sky, an invisible man who made the Heaven and Earth, and all the Animals, People, Plants, Rocks, Water.... made everything, well that is viewed as fact by some, and in some places in the US even tried to be viewed as science, even though some places have backtracked(http://www.guardian.co.uk/usa/story/0,,2013263,00.html) ..... well after all that, some of the people who view Religious Faith as Scientific Fact, well, some of those very same people may view man-made Global Warming as myth, and call those who do believe Global Warming as real and a man-made event stupid for their beliefs, but at the same time I believe some of those very same people would attack anyone saying their Religious Belief in an invisible man in the sky was myth.... and point to their Bible or other Religious book as proof in their belief, all the proof they need.
