Study Finds World Warmth Edging to Ancient Levels
Krishna Dagli writes to mention a decades-long study by NASA scientists. According to the research, global temperatures are reaching highs not seen in thousands of years. From the article: "One of the findings from this collaboration is that the Western Equatorial Pacific and Indian Oceans are now as warm as, or warmer than, at any prior time in the Holocene. The Holocene is the relatively warm period that has existed for almost 12,000 years, since the end of the last major ice age. The Western Pacific and Indian Oceans are important because, as these researchers show, temperature change there is indicative of global temperature change. Therefore, by inference, the world as a whole is now as warm as, or warmer than, at any time in the Holocene. According to Lea, 'The Western Pacific is important for another reason, too: it is a major source of heat for the world's oceans and for the global atmosphere.'"
It all depends on which agenda they're pushing, or who's funding them.
I'll say it again and again, until you listen or someone can find a single argument against it.
Stop hiding behind false excuses and "Be carefull with our planet, we have only one"(TM)
Yes, I'm left. You have a problem with that?
Sorry, but I can't trust anything said by a man who flys around the world in a Learjet to fight global warming.
This pro-global warming theory is from the same James Hansen of NASA who used to agree with the warming skeptics, and before that he completely disagreed with the skeptics. So, who knows when he'll change sides next? This guy is great. From a previous Cato Institute article:
"NASA's James Hansen now predicts precisely the same, small amount of warming in the next 50 years that the much-derided 'climate skeptics' predicted all along. According to both the skeptics and Mr. Hansen, the planet is destined for a mere 0.7 degree Centigrade (1.25 degree Fahrenheit) warming between now and 2050."

that there is a network of registered slashdot users that are paid modest amounts of money, by global warming F.U.D P.R companies, to either make anti-global warming posts or use their mod-points to prop up said antiglobal warming posts?
