I think this is the crux of the global warming media hype (not some of
the science). Gobal warming research and it's ugly step-sister, the
media, are a business. They will only feed frenzy that adds to their
business. Hence, the lack of talk about your cold and snowy western
weather, lack of hurricanes in '06, etc. The only things that will
be brought up are those that will "help" their cause and industry.
Do something for something we KNOW about, like the kid down the
street that needs a home, etc. Don't try to help for something
that we are trying (ridiculously) to predict will be a problem
100-200years from now!!

It's a fact that CO2 traps heat. (That's why Venus's surface temperature is
800F degrees).

It's a fact the Polar ice caps are significantly smaller today then they
were 100 years ago.

It's a fact every glacier in the world has retreated, and many glaciers will
be gone in the coming years.

It's a fact fossil fuel burning is at a peak in all history, somewhere
around 80 million barrels per day, with demand on a upwards curve. That's
like 70 Exxon Valdez size supertankers of oil being burned every day, seven
days per week, around the clock, for decades. And that's oil only, coal &
natural gas are on top of this.

The kid down the street is gonna need a new home due to flooding when the
Appalachians become beachfront property.
