Tree Hugging Green-Psychos make me sick with their non-science of our society's greenhouse, CO2 crap about how we're warming the Earth. TOTAL B.S. !!!!!
Anyone with half a brain who has been to the Smithsonian, or bothered to research the thermal history of the Earth would immediately come to the conclusion that every ~hundred million years the Earth cycles up and down in temperature by several degrees. The Earth is significantly cooler than it has been in the past. Overall, as a billion years have passed, the earth is predictably cooling off. You can't stop it, Thermodynamics dictates that heat flows from that which is warmer (the Earth's core) toward the cooler (the cold of space). The Earth is not a perfect thermos bottle.
We just happen to have passed a minimum in the predictable thermal cycle of the Earth. The periodicity of this thermal profile is repeated many times and is fairly constant. The Earth is now warming up to the next minor maximum, which will be by several degrees over the next numerous millenia, BECAUSE IT'S SUPPOSED TO !!!!!!!!!!
And the mass of the earth and power involved in this phenomena is so great that man would have to try pretty damned hard to have any measurable deliterious impact to it at all.
I actually traveled to DC to get numerous photos of the thermal cycle charts to set my beliefs straight, and as a degreed scientist and life member of the American Geophysical Union, I don't think I'm speaking out of my anal orifice, like the majority of these false scientist types who perpetuate the myth that the existence of man is bad to the planet's thermal nature.
Looking at the Earth's planetary thermal cycle through its history, and noting that man has only existed with an ability to modify his environment in the past <100,000 years, and I can't find the least bit of a glitch in the charts to indicate that man even exists on the planet Earth differently than has existed in the previous billions of years.
I hope some of yo out there remember this and perpetuate the facts the next time some anti-mankind idiot in California wants to make a movie about the imaginary disaster "Day after Tomorrow", just remember it's only science FICTION - a fictitious story - get it !!!
Anyone is free to express their opinion, but not everyone who has an opinion in which they feel strongly has a right to be correct. Being correct, or even being taken seriously, is not a right - something our actor classes in California ought to learn.
Otherwise, leave the real science to the real scientists !!!!

Maybe it's not just a thermodynamic cycle.
A few years back, I was in a museum and noticed a correlation between ice ages and certain animal populations. In particular, the recent "mini ice age" started about the time that whale hunting took off. The recent ban on whaling correlates with the recent "global warming". IMHO, an important contribution to global warming is an overlooked greenhouse gas: Whale farts.
The solution to global warming: Kill all the whales. Perhaps by feeding them Jane Fonda.
