Global Warming - From Inside the Globe

Posted by michael on from the crispy-on-the-outside dept.

Bill Kendrick writes "The National Post reports that a team of American and Canadian researchers has found evidence of real global warming: the temperature of the Earth's crust is increasing at a remarkable rate. What's really interesting is that heat absorbed by rocks slowly permeates into the earth. By boring holes in the ground, they can tell how hot the earth was years ago, in a 'reading tree rings' fashion."

    because I am American,
    I own a SUV that sucks a crapload of gas,
    and I still hear reports about Global Warming being bullshit.

    What a relief for my conscience,
    and on top of that I do not have to try to adopt another lifestyle as other countries do
    (who are wrong, not being as smart and independent about such topics like petrol as we, American).

    The National Post is not a reliable source of information. They're a right wing newspaper that tries to serve the interest of large corporations.

    ... and the environmentalists are not a reliable source of information. They are a leftist organization that tries to affect political and economic change in the name of the environment.

    What's the difference?

    Only by reading the biased information from both sides can you attempt to get a clue as to what the truth is, because neither side is going to give it to you 100%.
