Gotta say this!!!

Despite all of the hype, pure subjectivity and ignorant emotional
garbage, the idea of human-caused global warming is nothing but an
idea and is used by many as a bandwagon to jump on. There is NO real
evidence for GLOBAL warming occurring currently. Some AREAS are
warming, some are COOLING.

Virtually nothing is known about causes of climatic change, and
blaming any purported warming on the minute quantities of CO2 and
other "greenhouse" gases released by man is ridiculous and utterly
unscientific.

One large volcanic eruption can pump far greater quantities of such
gases into the atmosphere than man has produced IN TOTO over the
centuries. One slump on a continental slope has the potential to
immediately release enough methane from hydrocarbon clathrates to
potentially change the global climate over a period of weeks.

One thing that the geologic record (and in particular paleontology)
displays clearly is that there is NO SUCH THING as stable climate.
Temperatures are always rising or falling, usually very slowly but
occasionally so rapidly as to be sudden. Exactly why change occurs is
so far up to speculation; all we can objectively say is that it
happens and far from being the exception, it is the norm.

Rant over. I am aware that this posting will generate responses, and
I will not reply to any which are uninformed!
