...to the God of Greenhouse Effect...it's an inconvient truth....will make more money from a non-existent problem than Y2K...Al Gore's last project.

You don't believe in Global warming huh? Interesting.

I believe in global warming. And I believe in global cooling. And I believe that the earth has been doing each of these long before humans ever set a foot on the planet. The fact that we've been monitoring weather patterns, glacier patterns, sea levels, etc for a mere blink of the earth's existance means nothing in the grand scheme of things.

cool. thanks. I was having a hard time understanding this issue, but your cartoons always clarify things.

Ya know, its been a popular little "catchphrase" to start referring to the theories behind global warming as a "religion".

Since I'm pretty sure that Greenie here has never actually thought about it, only looked at pretty little pictures, I'd like to see if he can explain to me (In words, no drawings allowed) why theories behind global warming should be treated as a "religion" as opposed to science.

My $0.02:

global warming is the result of

ALL THE VARIABLES IN THE WORLD!!!!

Plus possibly several extraterrestrial (meaning factors such as sun spots, etc, not little green men)

Go ahead - draw a conclusion about one miniscule set of the inputs.

My SUV is Green........

Global warming is a Hoax!

Global warming is caused by the arsons in California

Global warming is just a theory and consensus among some scientists. SteveR is right as far as it being a cycle. 25-30 years ago it was all about global cooling.

The majestic videos of icebergs breaking off into the ocean is normal, but always used to scare us. The icebergs get larger & larger and it's common for pieces to fall off. Nobody tells us that though.

Also, the slight warming may be benificial to many parts of the world.

^ Ah, but here you are being rational and calling it a concensus among scientists. This allows debate to continue and for people to exchange ideas.

My pet peeve is the "dumbing down" the right has done by simply classifying it as a "religion". That way they don't have to discuss anything, and its easily digestible for the part of their constituency which thinks in cartoons.

Global warming is a catch phrase design to make money. Al Gore flys around in a big jet paid for with money made from his last con, Y2K.

So, if I were to combine Greenies sentiments...

Religion is essentially a catchphrase designed to make money. A con used to buy jets.

Boy. I'm glad you straightened that out. Now, you have a problem with secular thought?????

You should maybe stick to cartoons. Cartoons without words.

I've not seen a presentation of the data that actually proves global warming:

1. Is caused by humans (or at least primarily by human activity)

2. Is a trend that will continue unless we intervene

3. Will, on the whole, be bad for us, so we have to do something about it.

You could say that, based on the evidence, you believe all of those things, but not a single one of the three has been incontrovertibly proven. You could say that you believe it would be prudent to begin behaving as though those three items were true and adjust your lifestyle accordingly, but that's not exactly what we're being told. The popularizers of global warming alarmism go far beyond what scientists can reasonably say while remaining true to the standards of their profession.

Al is a putz..

Is there anybody out there that doesn't think we are doing more damage to the planet now, more than any time in modern history?

Whistle while Rome burns?

That's one way of dealing with it.

Damage the planet? Not exactly sure what that means. If you're referring to impacting our ecosystem in a manner that is injurious to living beings, I'm not entirely sure how our impact today compares to our impact 30 - or 65 - years ago. WWII wasn't particularly environmentally friendly. I think many forms of pollution have been reduced in the US, but that gain is probably more than offset by increases in other parts of the world.

I think it's good for people to marry and have kids. I don't think it's a bad thing for us to have a growing population. I do think that we'll always have to assess our impact on our environment, figure out where we're changing the situation, determine whether that impact is good or bad, and whether it's worth the effort to shift the way we're impacting our environment. Can we really hurt ourselves and the other living things on this planet? Certainly. Are we causing a warming of our climate that can have catastrophic consequences? It's certainly possible.

From what i understand as long as this Andy guy is on the loose all othr gasses are irrelevant.

He's not that bad, but I hear that we could provide electricity to the state of California if we could just harness that methane.
