Just a quick note to be sure you check out the front page article in today's Los Angeles Times, with more bad news on global warming. Just another indication that it's no longer good enough to be sitting around talking, Bush, even assuming that you're finally halfway out of denial. This is urgent business. Let others argue the degree to which steps like increasing the fleet mileage requirements for automobile manufacturers will help: they sure are not going to hurt the environment and, God knows, they might even stick a pin in the indolent rear end of those self-protective executives and lead to some great technological innovations. There are many other steps that could be taken right now, as of tomorrow, if the political will were there. Here's your chance to make something of your presidency in its waning two years. Carpe diem, okay? (I trust you know your Latin, Bush: it means "seize the day"!)
And while we're at it, how about that gasoline tax? And putting the money into research for alternative energy sources?
Have a great Sunday.

I doubt this information will have any impact on the Decider's policies. He seems to feel that facts are lies, and his real guidance comes from, well you know who.
Gringo, just in passing: the problem I have with your scenario is that it doesn't square with the vast preponderance of scientific research. Everything coming from the reputable science community seems to point to the conclusion that it is indeed human activity that is a major factor in causing global warming. Not sure what your qualifications might be to dispute those findings, but my own are admittedly negligeable. Until I hear of other reliable evidence to the contrary, I'll tend to trust the collective voice of those scientists. I dislike fear-mongering as much as you do. I just don't think that this is it. Cheers, PaL
perhaps this is the temperature fluctuations you were looking for:

So, if the temp has rissen in the precambrian, ordovician, premian, and cretaceous stages, how is it our fault this time?
also, looking at the earth's temp history... Wouldn't the current temp be Below Average???
