"They concede that some of the more spectacular solutions proposed, such as melting the Arctic ice cap by covering it with black soot or diverting arctic rivers, might create problems far greater than those they solve."

HAHAH!

Last April, in the most devastating outbreak of tornadoes ever recorded, 148 twisters killed more than 300 people and caused half a billion dollars' worth of damage in 13 U.S. states.

Yep. And now global warming is to blame for tornados. if only we could have kept the exact same temperatures we would never have tornados...

I was in college during the mid 70s. I can recall a number of occasions where some of the instructors stated that we were entering another ice age.

I gather it is much easier for liberals to annoint themselves as "holier than thou" prophets of doom:

(1) if liberals condemn sinners for their "excess" generation of green-house gases (due to excess SUVs, excess air-conditioning, excess heating etc. ad nauseum) rather than

(2) if liberals condemn sinners for their "insufficent" generation of those green-house gases.

Hence, the self-serving redefinition of our greatest "environmental threat" as global "warming".

Don't worry the wackos have this figured out.
The new mantra is that we are experiencing "climate change".
This means that any "unusual" weather can be blamed on human activity; cooling, heating, spring coming to early or too late, whatever happens.
Anything bad that happens is the result of humans. In other words people in western countries are bad. They shouldn't reproduce, drive cars, eat food other than grass or dirt and should live in caves.

Geez, these monumental global climatic changes really swing back and forth don't they? /sarcasm

It's just a big money racket for the environmental wacko's to get government funding and contributions from their mailing list of suckers.

I don't know how or why, but it has to be Bush's fault.

Oh cool, The Club Of Rome. If we're getting this retro, we'll see people disco dance in public again and that would be hilarious.

Yup. "The Coming Ice Age". Blamed on pollution.

Global cooling ... that tears it ...

We need to bring back CFC's, DDT, Elvis and build a few hundre nuclear reactors to provide heat.

My dad has an old tape by a man named Iben Browning. In 1979 he predicted we would be in a "little Ice Age" in the upper US.

Funny thing is he noticed a lot of things that make sense. We are currently in a peak for solar flares. it would make sense that the climate is getting warmer.

Global Cooling + Acid Rain = Global Warming!

When a steady application of acid rain is applied to glacial formations, a resultant exothermic reaction occurs which is greatly enhanced by Hydrofluorocarbonic emissions and exhaust fumes from certain strains of SUV's which are in excess of 5000 pounds curb weight, causing mass hysteria amongst certain indigenous peoples with concommitant desires to undergo multiple body piercings and tattoo applications and the wearing of hip-hugger jeans on members of the female sex which makes them look like burst open cans of biscuits, said cause of all this dates back to late 1960's and early 1970's when certain individuals of more affluent parents were permitted to join the National Guard and repeatedly miss formations and were thus termed AWOL in numerous forged but accurate documents of the period.

Don't worry about global cooling. I was just talking with a bunch of the guys, and we're going to leave our SUVs running in the driveway overnight from now on. That ought to warm things up a bit. I suggest you all do the same.

Oh, and I won't turn off lights anymore either.
