Nobody has every claimed that we are making the sun hotter. This demonstrates that you really don't understand the problem. The problem is that the heat from the sun is being trapped here. As an analogy, my house stays pretty cool even on hot days without the need for air conditioning. As long as it gets cooler at night, it stays pleasant during the day. But if it stays hot at night, it doesn't get a chance to lose the build-up of heat from the previous day and it gets more unpleasant as after day. The days are not necessarily hotter, but the accumulated heat energy means that each successive day has a larger affect.

Some people say the problem is that the heat from the sun is being trapped here while others say there is no human solvable problem as there is a natural cycle of climate change due to sunspots and that no amount of human activity is going to change that. Documentary reference is here on this very subject.

Of course this documentary goes into detail that water is an even greater greenhouse gas than CO2.

I typically like to hear both sides of a debate before making my mind up and I recently came across this movie and your comment reminded me of it so I figured I would share it.

Great Global Warming Swindle, The (2007):
http://moviesfoundonline.com/great_global_warming_swindle.php

I have my doubts about the science that is being used to support that we are the root cause, that we have the power to change things, or even that it is that serious. I am first to admit, though, that I have no idea. The link above offers some interesting views on global warming. Unfortunately it seems everyone is really zealous about it so there are too many emotions being tossed around and not enough rational conversations with each other to actually accomplish anything I suppose.

Ever seen Gayniggers From Outer Space

Ever watched it? http://www.moviesfoundonline.com/gayniggers_from_outer_space.php

P.S. I'm not racists, or homophobic, nor is the movie... but its also not really that ammusing either...

its just the first thought that crossed my mind... hmm...

"Basically, the government was using lucrative contracts as an incentive for cooperation with various other less palatable projects."

There are plenty of other aspects the corruption. The free movie "Zeitgeist" explains the 3 main parts of U.S. government corruption: Zeitgeist (2007).

The Zeitgeist movie is very poor in some places, such as the opening sequences, and excellent in most places.

Part 1 of the Zeitgeist movie gives an example of how people are controlled by myths. Without people who call themselves "Christians", but are actually just suffering from the mental illness called anger, George W. Bush could not have been elected, or stayed in office. The "Christians" have a moral rule, "You will not kill", that they follow only when they please. The "Christians" were easily controlled by Karl Rove, who had George W. Bush say that he is one of them. Belief in myth caused millions of U.S. citizens not to think independently, and allows their anger to be manipulated easily.

Part 2 of the Zeitgeist movie discusses how people who control government use fear to get more control. Laws that required centuries to build are now being thrown away with as little awareness by citizens as can be designed. The Zeitgeist movie uses the bombing of the World Trade Center is used as an example of creating fear to get control. Those who want more information about how corrupters use fear can watch the free 3-Part BBC movie about how those who want corruption gain more control: The Power Of Nightmares: The Rise Of The Politics Of Fear (2004). BBC Article about the movie: The Power of Nightmares. Wikipedia Link: The Power of Nightmares.

Part 3 of the Zeitgeist movie explains briefly how and why the U.S. government is pursuing a policy of hyper-inflation of the dollar now. In fact, a small number of people control U.S. monetary policy.

Zeitgest, the movie, is free and can be downloaded using a BitTorrent client, burned to a CD (a DVD is not necessary), and most modern DVD TV players will play it.

Don't expect emerging consciousness of very difficult subjects like those in the movie Zeitgeist to be free of error. The movie correctly says that "resurrection after 3 days" is part of many ancient myths, with an astrological background. However, the movie also speculates that Jesus Christ may never have existed. That's beside the point. In fact, whether Jesus Christ existed or not, many people in the world thought that the new ideas of someone called Jesus and someone called Paul of Tarsus were an improvement over what they had before. Even many people who do not claim to be part of a religion think that.

Those movies are an excellent and entertaining way to start learning about U.S. government corruption for those who don't know about the corruption, and want to know what is happening and why.

It is difficult for the average person to believe that someone who already has a lot of money would kill others simply because he wants more money. However, people from rich families often grow up believing that it is acceptable for them to kill people to get what they want.

Those who invest in weapons and the manipulatable parts of the oil business, such as Cheney and the Bush family, control the government to get more money and get more power.

I am surprised at how much conflict of interest is allowed in the U.S. government. Why are weapons and oil investors like Cheney and Bush allowed to decide about starting wars in countries that have oil? (Afghanistan may not have oil, but oil investors want to build a pipeline through Afghanistan.)

Notice that those who don't want you to see the parent comment have marked it as off topic. However, secret spending of taxpayer money is certainly government corruption. Otherwise, how can citizens have democratic influence and oversight?

Now those who control the U.S. and U.K. governments are planning to

"I guess when wire-tapping and CCTV just isn't enough"

The issue, of course, is that systems are being put into place that can be used against citizens who protest. By using "terrorism" to create fear, those who want corruption and control are building systems that can be used to give them more control. Laws that required centuries to build are now being thrown away with as little awareness by citizens as can be designed.

For people and their friends who invest in weapons and the manipulatable parts of the oil business, such as Cheney and the Bush family, controlling the government is how they make money and get more power.

Now the U.S. and U.K. governments are planning to start a war with Iran, another oil-rich country.
