Copied from another forum. Global warming in a nutshell.
"First, the earth was getting hotter and the global warming zealots came out in full force blaming mankind for all the evils.
Then a few admitted there might be some portion that is natural, but man still was the primary cause.
Then Mars got warmer and they could not blame it on man so they ignore Mars.
Then the weather wasn't always warmer, sometimes it was colder. So they changed the battle cry from "global warming" to "man made climate change".
Then 2005 hit and it was a destructive hurricane season and we were told "Global warming is causing these storms. We must change our ways."
Then came 2006 and the global warmers predicted a huge season for hurricanes. Not a single one hit the US.
Now the global warmers are saying that global warming can cause less hurricanes:

But all I know is, many scientists have stated there is no need for debate. The issue is settled.
Really? If everything was settled in 2006, how come this new info on hurricanes is just now being discussed? Or since the results don't match the prediction is it Ok to modify the theory?"
" Don't forget that:
1. If the climate toward the end of the week or next week can't be predicted, how is it that scientists can predict what's going to happen on the long term?
2. It is clear that some people out there don't want to lose their research grants, they may not have any sound results of whatever it is they're after, so they resort to a big scare so they can get more funding.
3. The environmental movement is the successor of Communism. By asking the governments and States to intervene to avoid pollution, which is something that's already regulated by democratically elected representatives (in the countries that matter), greenies want to control the means of production and ultimately nationalize them in the interest of common good, to avoid more pollution.
Pure politics, the problem is that ignorant media and even more ignorant politicians are falling for this."
