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.
I'm not good in groups. It's difficult to work in a group when you're omnipotent. - Q
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.
"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).
