Sorry, I did not mean to start a new thread. Meant to post under the other global warming thread.
The trendy prediction in the 80's was the coming ice age. The Earth is 5 billion years old and has warmed and cooled no telling how many times. We had a mini ice age for several centuries that ended in the 1800's. Perhaps we are coming out of that. Our records are for a miniscule period of time. Other groups have different global temperatures.
My biggest clue about global warming is to watch the people that scream the loudest about it and see what they do personally. Al Gore has multiple houses, flies in private jets and has a large boat. John Kerry has one of those big fast cigar boats that gulps hundreds of gallons on each excursion. Obama flies in Air Force 1, a 747, to go to a global warming conference. Of course, several other planes fly with it. Video teleconferencing would have worked. A few years ago there was a wolrd conference on global warming and most of the delegates rode in limos rather than grouping together in a bus or taking some other type of public transportation. Nancy Pelosi flew in a military jet to her home from Washington numerous times. Why not an airline? So if they were really concerned about it and believed it, they would not conduct themselves the way they do. Their carbon footprint dwarfs mine yet I am the one they want to reduce.
