Either way, the real disaster would be if we found ourselves in another ice age. In any case, if we don't run out of fossil fuels soon, they will become so expensive that we'll have no choice but to use alternative sources of energy (just look at how any little incident in an oil producing country (big or small) is enough for the media to sensationalize the affect it will have on the price of oil...and it actually drives up the prices!).

It's amazing to me that the earth cooled then heated throughout its history mostly without any humans, but the current crisis can only be faulted on us. As all Gore noted, "The science is settled!" which is amazing since all of my good professors would note that most of what we know is an approximation, or just flat out wrong.

Eco-loon? I drive a brand-spanking new SUV. Global warming is happening, but I'm not convinced that we are the only ones to blame for it. It might have something to do with cyclical fluctuations in the temperature of deep oceans (the largest reservoir of CO2). The theory is that as the water warms up, less carbon dioxide can be dissolved. Where does the gas go? Into the atmosphere, where it would contribute to global warming. All that to say that global warming might be a natural phenomenon. What's with the name calling?

You eco-loons have been cooking the data all along, it has nothing to do with science. Don't have data from Siberia this month...let's use a previous month that is traditionaly hotter! Global tempatures have cooled...lets cook the algorithm and refuse to release the data! A historic mountain is losing its ice cap...It's GLOBAL WARMING! Feel free to shout down the honest scientist who doesn't have a dog in the fight, but wishes to point out that the region is going through a historically dry period and the ice is not melting.... I can't use as much energy as Al Gore's home, but I can see it from space. (Quasi, that was sarcasm) Teadrinker or Coolaidedrinker what conspiracy?

If you have a site in which the site is incorrectly set up, then the tempeatures will be higher than it's supposed to be. You can run all of the baseline stuff you want and your measurements will still be wrong. It would be like measuring the line loss of a cable with measuring equipment that was not calibrated. Yea, you get data, but every measurment will be off. Blue, just by having a measuring site on an airport your injecting extra heating which is coming off of the concrete. That's why the measuring equipment has to be a certain distance from the runway to give accurate measurments. Here in Ohio, the tempeature measuring station is located at the airport which is about 10 miles away from where I lived. Our tempeatures were always 5 degrees cooler due to the fact we had alot of trees around. That all depends if the data from that particular site is reliable at all.
