    In addition to changes in energy from the sun itself, the Earth's position and orientation relative to the sun (our orbit) also varies slightly, thereby bringing us closer and further away from the sun in predictable cycles (called Milankovitch cycles)
    This is a quote from http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/climate/globalwarming.html#Q10

    World leaders gathered in Kyoto, Japan, in December 1997 to consider a world treaty restricting emissions of ''greenhouse gases,'' chiefly carbon dioxide (CO2), that are thought to cause ''global warming'' severe increases in Earth's atmospheric and surface temperatures, with disastrous environmental consequences. Predictions of global warming are based on computer climate modeling, a branch of science still in its infancy. The empirical evidence actual measurements of Earth's temperature shows no man-made warming trend. Indeed, over the past two decades, when CO2 levels have been at their highest, global average temperatures have actually cooled slightly.

    To be sure, CO2 levels have increased substantially since the Industrial Revolution, and are expected to continue doing so. It is reasonable to believe that humans have been responsible for much of this increase. But the effect on the environment is likely to be benign. Greenhouse gases cause plant life, and the animal life that depends upon it, to thrive. What mankind is doing is liberating carbon from beneath the Earth's surface and putting it into the atmosphere, where it is available for conversion into living organisms.

    I guess all this empirical data mean nothing to those that are foolish enough to believe a hoax.
    I guess I am just a dumb genius.

    I'm not a "greenie," but will answer your question. Yes, American will go over to China and tell them what to do. That's what our imperialistic administration does, tell others what to do.
     
  4. Ah, The Petition Project. Wondered when that would make an appearance.

    It's made an earlier appearance.

    Ironic that the people behind OISM debunking global warming spent so much time hyping Y2K.

    Apparently their next project is figuring out the identity of The Others.

    Maybe OISM is actually a front for the Hanso Foundation?

    No, they're the people who are giving the Heroes characters their powers.
    And I'm really hoping that Old_Tony is going to make his 1000th post a doozy. He's been stuck at 999 for some time.

    This just in from OISM: the sun circles the earth and cigarettes do not cause cancer.

    Rumor is he's going to admit that he's been yanking everyone's chain all along, saying there's no way any reasonably intelligent person could deny evolution and global warming. Ha, ha, joke's on us.

    Save the cheerleader, stop Y2K.
