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. "
Relax, Dubya just ordered a new box of crayons. He'll be back to signing things soon.

from the article; "The debate about whether there is a global warming signal now is over, at least for rational people," said Tim Barnett
So I guess that means that the debate continues for president Bush.

Too many connections to the oil industry for that to ever happen.

Yes, the average global temperature is warming. But, it would be warming whether or not humans were even on the planet. Scientists used to all agree that the Earth was flat and that if people went too far to the edge, the world would tip over and we'd all fall off. Do you see how silly those scientists were?
My comments here are my own; I do not speak for my employer.
Why is it that anyone who goes against the common, left-leaning attitude here on /. regarding politics or science is automatically branded with either "troll" or "overrated"?
Because, at this point, in the face of all the evidence, anyone who denies global warming is occuring due to human activity is either ignorant, stupid, or insane. And none of those people are capable of posting anything better than "troll" or "overrated." So, as you can see, it's perfectly logical.
But, good luck with your "we don't know everything, therefore we know nothing" attitude towards science. I'm sure that will get you far in life.
I never have frustrations, the reason is, to wit:
If at first I don't succeed, I quit!
I love the assumption that because I believe creation over evolution, I also believe we can destroy the environment, when infact I believe we are causing global warming and we should be doing everything in our power to curb the effects of it, but of course none of these clearly flaimbait comments are going to get modded as flaimbait because it's okay to troll it up if it's against a christian points of view.
Yeah, like those hippies at the Pentagon.

Aren't we all over-analyzing this? How many people think it GOOD to polute the environment? show of hands? not too many...hmmm, maybe we should work on not poluting the environment then.

Thank you for signing your post. Now I know who to blame for all the bullshit on my screen.
"There was an uptrun in tempratures. Species are suffering, the ice caps are melting, the glaciers have all but gone away"...
Uhhhh no. Not exactly. As a matter of fact the tempertures were actually colder (where I'm at) than they were last year at this time and, AFIK, there are over 60,000 (yes, 60,000) glaciers around the world and they seem to be doing just fine.
Try checking on your facts before you start yelling about calamity. The only calamity we face are scientists that play their data to match what their funding agency wants to see. It doesn't take co-operation just common behaviour (pandering to your support) for a common purpose (money).
