I'm amazed people still accept human caused global warming as a sound theory. It's fear instilling facts are nothing more than that. Everyone has an agenda, including 'environmental watchdogs'. I'm not at all against finding clean fuels and limiting CO2 going into the atmosphere, but for different reasons than the fear that New York is going to be wiped out by raising sea levels.
And I have yet to read a scientist argue against global warming and cooling trends which have been proven (can you say ice age?) through factual findings. The earth never said it was going to stay the same throughout our comparatively small time on this planet.

But what about the things that are recorded?
Atlantic water temperature for instance stayed relatively the same from the 1850's to 1970 but since then is up about 2 degrees and climbing at an alarming rate. Its no suprise that hurricans are more common and more powerful,since they started recording hurrican strenghts in the 50's a cat4-5 formed every 5.7 years up to year 1990, from 1990-2000 once every 2.2 years and now each year theres at least 2. even the pacific is getting far more tropical cyclones than ever before.
What about glaciers? the movements of glaciers has been recorded for hundreds of years and since 1980 most glaciers have receded 100 times more than the previous 25 years.
I personally have a hard time believing that humans had no part in these types of things happening and it just part of a normal trend that the planet goes threw every few thousand years.
