Look at the last decade's temperatures and the most recent forecasts.

Which temperatures? Where?

Here's a link to the Goddard Institute for Space Studies showing the upward trend of surface temperatures since 1880.

Here's a link to a McClatchy News article about the recent cooling of global temperatures.

The common mistake of global warming deniers is to confuse weather with climate. They're not the same. Global warming models predict that in some places, temperatures may actually cool from year to year and over decades, in the same way that the results of global warming will tend to turn some highly biodiverse regions into deserts and some deserts into lakes. Global warming could also trend downwards for some periods of time. However, over the long haul, the earth's global mean temperature continues to rise.

If they were TRULY concerned about global warming, they would be better preparing for the effects i.e. building levies and sea walls, stockpiling foods, moving people to safer areas, etc.

That's the job of governments. Science's job is to do the research and report the findings. If governments refuse to absorb and act on the scientific data, that isn't the fault of the scientists.

Dick Goddard (PHD in Climatology) says:"Global Waming is not due to human contributions of carbon dioxide(CO2). This in fact is the greatest deception in the history of science".

This Dick Goddard?

He's an actor and a cartoonist along with being a weatherman. His meterology background was during a stint with the armed services. He majored in drama and broadcasting at Kent State. I don't see any reference to a school in London. That Dick Goddard?

Andre Bernier (Bachelors in meterology and Masters in climatology-Mr. Bernier says that in 10 more years we will be praying for Global warming

This Andre Bernier?

His meteorology degree is from Lyndon State College in Vermont. He's an evangelical preacher.

Please correct me if I got the wrong guys.

I said that I am a liberal and a Democrat because I want to make the point that you and many others are working under a false belief that only conservatives would not believe in anthropogenic global warming.

Camille, is that you?

So you're dismissing the idea that this guy's biases affect his judgment of an issue that would essentially destroy his livelihood?

"It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on his not understanding it." - Upton Sinclair

I realized that everybody usually spends a large part of their lives trying to sell something to either potential supporters or clients, some just more so than other.

"We're a nation of hustlers." - Gore Vidal

It doesn't matter if you believe or not in global warming. It's happening without your belief. If you take it seriously you'll look into the facts and charts and photographs and mounds of empirical data. You'll read the BBC articles and the IPCC pages, which I'm willing to bet you haven't touched.

Global warming deniers are of the same mentality as those who reject the theory of evolution. They know next to nothing about the theory of evolution, they are forever getting it all wrong because they refuse to absorb any of the facts and have never, even opened "The Origin of Species" let alone read a single line of it. What they have done is to waste their time, reading and researching a bunch of junk science peddled by so-called "scientists" who are more interested in their political or economic agenda (or academic rivalries) than they are disinterested scientific inquiry.

spectralmist is totally Camille, with a Stevie Nicks-style nom de plume. It's quite a psychedelic combination, don't you think?

After posting my Camille comment, I saw that you'd beaten me to the punch. I have to go now, I gotta go find my 'shrooms.

Admire your posts.

Cooper is from my district. I've already told him his opposition to meaningful health care reform, including his opposition to a public option, was going to cost him not only my vote but the votes of my friends. I'm in. I'm ready to rumble against this corporate toady. He's owned by the very large, very influential health care industry here in Nashville. Senator Bill Frist, Senate Super Surgeon capable of diagnosing patients from the Senate floor, is also from here. His family made three or four fortunes in their private hospitals charging patients for $20 aspirin and $200 bed pans. This is ground zero for the private hospital movement.

Where do I sign up? I'll work my ass off to defeat Cooper.

(BTW, Governor Phil Bredesen was the founder of HealthAmerica Corp, a leading HMO. He sold his interest in the company before running for governor. He's a billionaire so does not accept the gubernatorial salary from the state. He was born in NJ and grew up in upstate NY. He's been a very popular governor.)

Obviously the attack on ACORN by Congress is a Bill of Attainder, expressly forbidden by the Constitution. Now we'll see if there are any Constitutionalists in the U.S. Congress.

Which one of this agency's [NASA] warnings should we heed?

The one that's correct.

My former sister-in-law took her 12 year old daughter out of public school to home school her. It was an unmitigated disaster because my sister-in-law was woefully unqualified to teach garbage collecting let alone math, science, reading, etc. etc. etc.
