Of course, global warming is happening. It has been
going on for tens of thousands of years and happens
every time the earth cyclically emerges from an ice
age as it is doing now.



I'm speaking of CO2 based global warming, whether as the results of
say volcanic activity, or as a result of the amount of CO2 added to the
atmosphere as a result of combustion release.


May I assume that you believe that glacial cycles are the sole
source of global warming or cooling?

Hey, Mike. The truth is inconvenient for Cecil.

Hi John,

Cecil's answer, like those of so many politicians, embraces a faulty
premise to dismiss discussion. Imagine those same administration
savants on the upcoming 5th anniversary asking for yet another board
of enquiry for a study into the possibility of WMD in Iraq. That
didn't happen, and yet we get this interminable "Global Warming isn't
so, and it isn't from ____" (fill in the blank with any of a number of
their favorite red herrings).

What's the difference between WMD and Global Warming? What caused the
rush to Iraq, but not to the melting glaciers? Wrap a side of bacon
around Global Warming and it would be covered with Republicans like
flies on their favorite nourishment. ...perhaps if the Eskimos had
gotten to Jack Abramoff first instead of the casino Indians....

Hmmm, a thought occurred, and a little research reveals some
interesting metrics. Oil at Nymex Crude Future is at $69.19/barrel
and Evian (Mineral water from the Alps) is running for $1.69/pint.
Simple conversion reveals Evian outdistances Oil at $743.60/barrel.
Obviously I was wrong about the bacon, Global Warming has
Chateâubriand wrapped around it. I'm surprised the Pentagon hasn't
got F-35's backed up to the glaciers with their after-burners going
24/7/365. Oil-for-water! And a conversion rate that beats taking
graft for a living.

Next week, how Creation Science will have our cars running on water to
wean us from terrorist oil.
