Humans are Causing Global Warming
Big_Al_B writes "A Times Online article discusses a new study comparing 7 million real world datapoints with several computer models of global warming. Each model had a possible cause associated with it." From the article: "It found that natural variation in the Earth's climate, or changes in solar activity or volcanic eruptions, which have been suggested as alternative explanations for rising temperatures, could not explain the data collected in the real world. "
and I thought it was the crab people that was the cause of it all.
No way!!! And all this time I was blaming the sun...
Sorry Sol.

Both sides are missing the point that George Carlin bought up and I have mentioned it previously. The Earth is warming itself up because it needs to get rid of us. We were here to deliver plastic and that need is satisfied already.
"The earth doesn't share our prejudice towards plastic...plastic came out of the earth, the earth probably sees plastic as just another one of its children...could be the only reason the earth allowed us to be spawned from it in the first place: it wanted plastic for itself, didn't know how to make it, needed us. Could be the answer to our age-old philosophical question...why are we here? plastic, assholes"

Hey, just because it's Friday and some of us started drinking early doesn't mean we're responsible for global warming. Leave my cow orkers out of it!
Here's a hypothesis.
1. Global warming will result in colder temperatures in some currently heavily populated regions.
2. People tend to stay inside when it is colder.
3. Staying inside increases the likely hood of procreation.
Therefore, global warming will cause humans.
When I want to hear something funny, I'll listen to George Carlin. When I want to hear fundamental data about our climate, I'll listen to climatologists.
You have two hands and one brain, so always code twice as much as you think!
Your rabidly moderate position is radically neutral and fanatically level-headed! It's that kind of zealous commitment to dispassionate consideration that will cause us to wildly err on the side of fervent caution! You sir, are an extremist in your moderation!
How dare you, sir! How dare you.
