from the site:

One leading researcher at the weeklong conference said it was "ludicrous" that the Bush administration has refused to acknowledge the increasing dangers of greenhouse gases.
"The voluntary measures the administration is proposing are going to get us nowhere," Raymond Bradley said Friday. Bradley is the director of the University of Massachusetts' Climate System Research Center at Amherst, Mass.
"Right now, we have good, strong scientific evidence supported by the vast majority of scientists who studied the problem to say we are facing a serious problem," he told The Associated Press on Friday.

Wrong again, Garrrrry!

Global warming is very real. The part we don't know is real is whether humans are playing any significant role in it, and whether cutting back on fossil fuel use would make any difference.

You see, the whole global warming scenario is predicated on a false premise. The enviro-kooks who rant and rave about global warming are living under the delusion that the Earth's climate is a constant except for any changes caused by man. That's just plain wrong. The Earth's climate is quite variable and often swings between temperature extremes. The climate has been warming steadily since the end of the last ice age. The warming started before humans began burning fossil fuels, and if it follows the trends of the past, then it is going to get a lot hotter on Earth in the future, even if we completely stopped burning fossil fuels today.

There is no good evidence that humans have significantly accelerated this natural warming. More likely our technology has just advanced to the point where we can detect the the warming in real time. But there is no need to assume that we are the cause of it, or that we can do anything about it.

In short, don't buy any property in low-lying areas. The Antarctic  ice sheet is probably going to melt and significantly raise sea levels some time in the future, no matter what humans do, just as has happened in the past during these natural warming periods.

Since it's gonna happen anyway no matter what, I ain't giving up my gas guzzler and my air conditioning.
