But for the record, the Medieval Warm period did occur, and the Origin of the Species does actually have that title.
I guess I'll have to break out the ancient Chemistry book and look up the melting point of steel, and the burning temperature of polyurethane, though.

I think theres been a recent conspiracy, to incite conspiracy theories. I don't mean asswipes like DocRock, I mean worldwide. Yes, I know that sounds like a joke, but I do not intend it in a humorous way I assure you. I am quite serious, even if everything I type speaks to the contrary.
Look at it like this. There is a theory about global warming. Its a fairly common conspiracy thing because every day, more and more people are buying into it.
Now this is the way I see it:
#1- Its a fact that today, we have much less fossil fuels than we had, before the industrial revolution began. How much, no one knows for sure. Could last a decade, or a hundred years, but one things for certain, its going to run out eventually. So... Whats the answer? Tell everyone that they will have to get used to higher prices and grin about doing so? NOT LIKELY! No one is going to tolerate that for any extended period of time. Nor are they going to conserve, because quite honestly, the average Joe, cannot conceive of tomorrow so saving for it is just bulls**t. You simply cannot make people conserve. You want an example? How many people here willingly optimize screens? ![]()
So, whats the solution? You create something people cannot ignore. Its easy to ignore fossil fuel shortages because even when the price goes through the roof, the gas pumps keep right on pumping. What people cannot do is ignore the temperature.
Scientist know that the Earth goes through phases of warming and cooling. It happens all the time in geological terms. Whats 10,000 years to a mountain? So, lets create a scare about global warming. With that, we can force people to change. Oh they won't drive less, but they will force the government to supply less destructive means of power.
Whatever you may believe about the climate, theres someone else causing you to think it.
/rambling nonsensical bulls**t.

......
See the issue is that your not producing enough CO2 in the air.... So we need more inefficient engines to cope for this loss in CO2 production...

global warming is just another bandwagon that some governments have jumped on, because they can see the huge pot of gold that 'environmental taxes' will bring them. like here in the uk there was aother one introduced last week for flying. it's something like an extra tenner for long haul, and a fiver for short haul.
this won't stop people flying, it wont make the air any cleaner, and it certainly wont have any impact on the long term damage being done by the usa and china.

Things are here quite well in terms of waste disposal and recycling and minimizing emissions, but sadly it doesn't matter at all that 5.2 million people do something when over two billion don't give a sheit.
Thus my conspiracy theory is that China, USA, Russia and several 3rd world countries are conspiring to create an end of the world scenario through pollutant emissions and then take over the world(or what's left of it anyways)!

a) The Earth has always and will always go through cycles like this of generally warm and generally cool weather, regardless of what humans are doing.
b) We're coming out of an ice age, s**t is going to warm up.

Yeah. But see the thing is this "global warming" thing is speeding up these cycles. Which is eventually going to land us in an early ice-age (or extreme drought).

I thought all current data was derived from current information and trends?
Fact 1: Our planet's weather is changing.
Fact 2: Our planet's weather is supposed to change.
...and?
