What's up with Wes' earphones?

...coulda used some of this back then...

It was running in the 50s there in January.

You would have found out that January 2010 was the 4th warmest January in history. Think globally not what fox says.

to keep warm... suicidally dumb.

Global warming is very easy to debunk. Simply visit solarcycle24.com and click the sunspot records. There you will see year and month records of sunspot activity. Increasing sunspots means warming climate, decreasing sunspots means cooling trends. Currently, our sun is going into a small dormant mode or solar minimus period of low sunspot numbers. Viewing the sunspot records you will see that between 2000 and 2003, sunspot activity reached a peak period, which warmed all the planets in our solar system.

Man made carbon only affects climate very minutely. Pollution is a problem that can be solved with proper legislation to force electric generation companies to sequester carbon, mercury, sulfur and other pollutants responsibly. Unfortunately, our congress is cheaply purchased and controlled by corporations that write the pollution laws in their favor. Cap and tax is not the solution, it only helps fund the interest on our national debt, deepens bankers pockets, reduces competition of American made goods and services in relation to countries without carbon laws and shortchanges the citizens. Cap and Tax will kill the American economy, which seems to be the aim of our government.

“Free enterprise ended in the United States a good many years ago. Big oil, big steel, big agriculture avoid the open marketplace. Big corporations fix prices among themselves and drive out the small entrepreneur. In their conglomerate forms, the huge corporations have begun to challenge the legitimacy of the state.” – Gore Vidal

Some science you got there bud.

Glad you didn't discover gravity.

The sun warms and cools in 11 year cycles, not 3.

The climate change(not Global warming) scientists have reviewed records for a little longer period than just this century.
You didn't mention the CO2 emissions, the concrete, the blacktop or clearcutting the forests. All contribute to climate change.

But then it wouldn't fit in with your argument, eh?
