I never said I believed the **** that's just what most scientists who jumped on the Global Warming Bandwagon have said.

I was studying this last term. What happens is the increase in temperature increases the rate/level of evaporation from the earth's water systems which then causes increased cloud levels. Clouds, being white reflect UV radiation from the sun which in turn reduces the average world temperature. Of course, anyone with 1/100th of a brain (and maybe even Shane) can deduce that this is cyclic because, as the temperature falls again the rate of evaporation decreases and the earth will then heat up again....

OH LOOK, FLUCTUATIONS IN THE EARTH'S TEMPERATURE HAVE BEEN HAPPENING SINCE WE STARTING RECORDING THEM. ****ing-A.

Everything is built upon models and not scientific evidence. We've been monitoring the climate for maybe 100 years on a planet that has been around for 4,500,000,000 years. How could you possibly understand something so complex when you've studied it for less than a geologic "blink of an eye"? Meanwhile these alarmist kooks have us constraining economic growth while developing a ridiculous cottage industry. These same morons run ads on my local TV telling me I need to conserve water when I live on the largest fresh water lake system in the world. You might as well tell an Iowan to conserve corn FFS.

Meh, we've analysed well more than 100 years (more like 100,000 years) but yeah, you're right.
