    There are multiple meanings to the word "natural". "Natural" can be the opposite of "supernatural" - in which case, yes, everything a human does is natural. "Natural" can also be the opposite of "artificial". "Artificial" by definition refers to things man-made.

    That's OK, people have been recording temperatures in Houston long before you got there, don't worry.

Global Cooling is here and it's man's fault....... damn Global Cooling!

    We even made the headline of the Drudge Report!

    Who fucking cares? Its GLOBAL warming not HOUSTON warming. If Global Cooling is here its off to a slow fucking start because 2008 was the 141st coldest in the last 150 years. Only 140 years in the past 150 colder than 2008 - yeah, 2008 was cold.


    It snowed in New Orleans, too. The next week there were record highs. Guess what? It isn't NEW ORLEANS warming either - its GLOBAL warming. Say it again with me GLOBAL

    Why would you expect to find evidence for or against that just from looking at a temperature history?


    And I still haven't seen any. And from what I've heard, neither has anyone else.
    Right, except these guys:

    The American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Meteorological Society, the American Quaternary Association, the Geological Society of America, the American Geophysical Union, the American Astronomical Society, the American Institute of Physics, the American Physical Society, the American Chemical Society, the American Statistical Association


    And that's just the ones in the U.S.


    Satellite records show that Mars has gotten warmer by about the same amount, over the same period of time.
    No they haven't. You either completely made that up or you're merely regurgitating a right wing talking point.

    Politicians saying that Government must "do something about" global warming, are pushing the ultimate snake oil.
    I'm struggling to figure out what the politics has to do with whether or not its true.

    A medium amount of gullibility is necessary to believe in this manmade-global-warming tripe. Looks like a lot of people on this board (and both recent major Presidential candidates) fit the qualifications.
    Looks like just about all scientists in the United States do as well. Not just "climate" scientists either, physicists, geologists, chemists, astronomers, mathematicians, etc.


    Where would you prefer to get your science, if not from actual scientists? Maybe - from right wing journalists who don't have an ounce of scientific training? OK, it is America, you are quite free to deliberately choose be an ignorant moron - as you are clearly doing in this case.

    But no one has yet come up with any proof that man had anything to do with that temperature rise, or can do anything to change it if he tries.

    But incredibly, some people want to spend literally trillions of dollars, use government coercion to the hilt, and regulate our society back to the stone age, to try to change the climate anyway. Even though there's no reason to expect their efforts would have any result.

    Those people are real fruitcakes. Sometimes it's hilarious to watch them make fools of themselves.

    And even they claim it won't help much.

    Name one thing the government does better than the private sector and I'll show you something that requires the use of force to accomplish.

    Typical liberal asshole that you are, you are amazingly arrogant about how very little you truly know. The fact that you would love a dump like New Orleans tells me everything I need to know about you. You're trash, white, black, faggot........ whatever........ human waste.
    No matter where I've traveled or how great the trip was, it's always wonderful to return to my country, The United States of America......... me

    How do you tell a communist? Well, it's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin.
