Not to derail your thread but I wasn't joking. A few years ago many scientists claimed it was global cooling going on, which as is the case today, was sensationalized by the media[
1]. Scientists on the side of global warming seem to be very harsh in not accepting other possibilities[
2]. Also we are coming out of a mini ice age, which also happened for a while during the medieval warm period[
3]. This was indisputably correlated to a period of economic stimulation, and arguably prompted it[
4]. Relatively massive fluctuations in global environments has happened many times before us and our hated SUVs[
5]. Temperature directly effects the level of CO2 in the air, not the other way around as is commonly believed and stated[
6,
7]. There are many fiscal reasons to continue to support a condition of urgency that are furthered by the media and scientific and political groups despite the fact that "internal global climate-system variability accounts for at least 80%of the observed global climate variation over the past half-century."[
8] Ultimately the theory of human causation of global warming does not hold true to the sensationalized level generally stated and the focus should be on maintaining livable conditions, even though that is not necessary at all since the world is already correcting the problems which it created.[from 3.30 to end of video clip,
