Not pleasant outlook for railroads as we know them.....

Mark, I would be interested in the sources you cite to come to the point of believing the propaganda of "man caused global warming". According to the Anti Global Warming Petition, over 17,000 scientist have made a stand against the whole concept of man caused global warming <http://www.sitewave.net/PPROJECT/pproject.htm>. I don't think you can call these people anti-science without totally destroying all your credibility. The reason so many legitimate scientists reject the current global warming hyperbole is that we have all the data we need to show that climate change is cyclical. The Middle Ages were much warmer than what we are experiencing today, and we just came out of the "Little Ice Age" of the early 1800's, which implies a 300 to 500 year cycle. If as the global warming types claim that CO2 levels are the highest they've been in 100,000 years, what caused the Middle Ages warming period? There is a conumdrum here, because if CO2 is the main culprit in global warming, was CO2 the cause of the MIddle Ages warming period? If so, why is there no record of such levels in ice core samples? If CO2 isn't the cause of the Middle Ages warming, then that would imply no correlation between atmospheric CO2 levels and warming, and therefore it is more likely the cyclical indicators relate more to solar activity and orbital anomolies. <br /> <br />As for rising sea levels, there is no historical record of any such sea level rise during the MIddle Ages, unless you count the legend of the disappearance of Atlantis as some type of historical fact..... <br /> <br />As Radivil pointed out above , there is the basic laws of physics at work when there is an increase in atmospheric gases. Yes, there is an increased greenhouse effect, but there is also more reflecting of solar radiation, so the net effect is to balance out ("For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction"). LIke the lake effect (where large bodies of water tend to moderate temperatures on adjacent land masses), an increase in atmospheric gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, and dihydrogen oxide, if anything, will create a moderating effect on temperature extremes on earth, not exasterbate them. <br /> <br />Why do so many "squeeky wheel" scientists continue to pu***he global warming hysteria? Just follow the money, in the form of the research grants that we keep pumping into the "scientific community". No global warming, no grants, and then these frauds would have to actually work for a living, flipping burgers or more likely writing fiction dressed as fact for the MIchael Moores and Andy Rooneys of the media world. <br /> <br />With an ever growing world population, an increase in atmospheric CO2 levels can only do good in that plant growth will also increase, thus food production will also increase. Unless we want our grandchildren to experience world wide famine, we should just keep on burning those fossil fuels and raising those fartin' cattle. I know, it goes against the grain of every ecofactoid that has been shoved into our brains since kindergarten, but sooner or later we all (or at least most of us) wise up. As long as we are utilizing our resources in a judicious non-wasteful manner, we need not berate ourselves over our energy usage.
