America's greatist problem is morons like Bill Maher.
You know.....he just may be right. The last time this kind of thing happened (65 million years ago), the Dinosaurs made ABSOLUTELY NO effort to do anything about it........and you know what happened to them.
The biggest problem with Global warming is that those in power will "believe" it is caused my humans. Man has very little effect on Global climate change. The Sun is the primary factor. I have followed this POS Hansen guy for years. He is a bitter and sick man. He and his ilk hate achievers; they hate capitalism. Hansen is promulgating a lie that will do serious harm to many millions of Americans. For that reason alone, if there was true justice, Hansen would forfeit his life. As a trained engineer who has written computer models, it makes my blood boil to think these idiots can believe these so called experts relying on flawed computer models can state with certainty that man is the cause. If anything, those that write these climate models should be humble at just how difficult it is to model long term climate changes. I have a feeling many of these so called scientists are concerned about "reality" but more concerned about funding increases or making the US seem the problem. It is criminal to have this taxpayer funded government employee (parasite) spread this lie. Hansen and those who believe we cause Global warming are NO LESS evil than Bin Laden. The end result would be the same -- the destruction of our way of life.
Science magazine (Dec. 10, 1976) warned of "extensive Northern Hemisphere glaciation."
Science Digest (February 1973) reported that "the world's climatologists are agreed" that we must "prepare for the next ice age."
The Christian Science Monitor ("Warning: Earth's Climate is Changing Faster Than Even Experts Expect," Aug. 27, 1974) reported that glaciers "have begun to advance," "growing seasons in England and Scandinavia are getting shorter" and "the North Atlantic is cooling down about as fast as an ocean can cool."
Newsweek agreed ("The Cooling World," April 28, 1975) that meteorologists "are almost unanimous" that catastrophic famines might result from the global cooling that the New York Times (Sept. 14, 1975) said "may mark the return to another ice age."
The Times (May 21, 1975) also said "a major cooling of the climate is widely considered inevitable" now that it is "well established" that the Northern Hemisphere's climate "has been getting cooler since about 1950."

When they were discussing CYCLES IN MOTHER
NATURE'S REALM, Maher and his fellow Goreists
were totally tuned out!
Wanna stop hot air? Close your mouth Bill...
I'm going to a Bill Maher film festival.
"We have to, in the next ten years, begin to decrease the rate of carbon dioxide emissions."
I think a good start for this important measure would be for Bill Maher, Barb Streisand, et al, to stop breathing (voluntarily, of course).

Scientists blame sun for global warming
The Sun is more active than it has ever been in the last 300 years
Climate changes such as global warming may be due to changes in the sun rather than to the release of greenhouse gases on Earth.
Climatologists and astronomers speaking at the American Association for the Advancement of Science meeting in Philadelphia say the present warming may be unusual - but a mini ice age could soon follow.
The sun provides all the energy that drives our climate, but it is not the constant star it might seem.
Careful studies over the last 20 years show that its overall brightness and energy output increases slightly as sunspot activity rises to the peak of its 11-year cycle.
And individual cycles can be more or less active.
The sun is currently at its most active for 300 years.
That, say scientists in Philadelphia, could be a more significant cause of global warming than the emissions of greenhouse gases that are most often blamed.
The researchers point out that much of the half-a-degree rise in global temperature over the last 120 years occurred before 1940 - earlier than the biggest rise in greenhouse gas emissions.
Ancient trees reveal most warm spells are caused by the sun Using ancient tree rings, they show that 17 out of 19 warm spells in the last 10,000 years coincided with peaks in solar activity.
They have also studied other sun-like stars and found that they spend significant periods without sunspots at all, so perhaps cool spells should be feared more than global warming.
The scientists do not pretend they can explain everything, nor do they say that attempts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions should be abandoned. But they do feel that understanding of our nearest star must be increased if the climate is to be understood.
Aw shucks. I'm kinda fond of using it in relation to luny leftists.
