#1 The timing on this should be interesting. The earth has been getting cooler for 10 years now. Meanwhile, Bammo and his minions are racing to regulate CO2. Assuming they manage to impoverish us all and that the earth continues cooling, they will naturally take credit. If anyone tries to scale back on CO2 controls after that, the media will scream dire warnings of the return of global warming.

On the other hand, every year the earth continues to cool it gets harder to pass CO2 regulation. If we can hold out until 2010, this monstrous hoax that is Global Warming may just die in its sleep.

#2 It doesn't matter what the US or EU does concerning CO2. Increases by China and India alone will swamp any reductions. Yet the earth is getting cooler.

#3 PS. When I meet one of these global warming yahoos, I ask them what kind of car they drive (foreign), what clothes they wear, shoes, TVs, etc. Then I tell them to decrease CO2 production stop buying shit from overseas. Not only is the product made less energy efficiently, but the increase in the standard of living in the producing country is responsible for 80% of new CO2 production.

#4 I always agree with the morons. I tell them how concerned I am that the Polar Bears can longer hunt Penguins because the ice pack melted.

Many have told me they never realized it was that bad.

Then I tell them how sad that the Glaciers that used to cover the Sierra Nevada Mountains are gone and have left gaping holes like Yosemite Vally.

#5 the star's effects on climate will pale in contrast with the influence of human-made greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2).

So lets see, the big orange ball that heats our planet has less effect on its temperature than does a gas that is less than 1% of its total atmosphere. How stupid is this guy?

And yes, until China, India, Brazil, Indonesia and several other countries get a handle on their CO2 output, whatever we do is not going to matter.

#6 He and other researchers are therefore engaged in what they call "preemptive denial" of a solar minimum leading to global cooling.

We've got to do something to save our phoney-baloney jobs!

#7 GB, your approach has real promise. I'm beginning to consider other examples I might use ...

#8 CO2 is a Greenhouse Gas!
It causes the Greenhouse Effect! You know how a greenhouse works? It traps heat! Heat ... from ... the... erm... *blink*

#9 You're all wrong > the SUN/SOL is waiting for "the MAHDI" to fight COLONEL "CHINA" GORDON [Charles Heston] at KHARTOUM - AGAIN!

D *** Ng IT, nice try, but no MADONNA = OSAMA-IAN WHITNEY HUSTON, 1960's = 1980's MTV videos.

#10 I blame Al Gore.

#11 The Gore Effect is strong indeed

#12 CO2 in the atmosphere only lasts around 8 years so it's cannot be rising longer-term due to man.

CO2 is basically rising due to changes in the seas ability to dissolve it.

When the sea absorbs more CO2 it will fall (with a big lag).

#13 CO2 is only a minor greenhouse gas. Water vapor is much more of a greenhouse gas - there is a lot more of it.
Of course, since most of the water vapor comes from the sea, man has very little influence over it. Thus Al Gore et al can't make money from it.

#14 Any idiot that blabs about CO2 being the cause of global warming and doesn't know about wavelength saturation needs to be shot. Their stupidity is a danger to others.
