I found this trailer for a documentary from Frontline on Global Warming: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZhZVYYpQYo&feature=dir

I don't buy the Global Warming argument. I see Obama is all over the comments ..as if he was different than McCain.

Anyone have any good aruments against Global Warming to post as a response to this?

Atmospheric temperature is

Atmospheric temperature is regulated by the sun, which fluctuates
in activity.The greenhouse effect, largely
caused by atmospheric water vapor (H2O); and by other phenomena
that are more poorly understood. While major green house gas H2O
substantially warms the Earth, minor green house gases such as CO2
have little effect. The 6-fold increase in hydro carbon use since 1940 has had no noticeable effect on atmospheric
temperature or on the trend in glacier length.

For every silly "research" paper like the one you cite, there

are dozens that present the data and draw far more reasonable conclusions. For the last 400 years science has been about evidence rather than opinion.

Please explain scientifically why the earth was warmer from 1000AD through 1500AD, and got colder then, and no one was burning oil?

4,000 BC to 900 AD: Global cooling (causes unknown) starts. The Arctic Ocean eventually freezes over, mountain glaciers form once more in the Rocky Mountains, Norway, and the Alps. The Black Sea freezes over several times, and ice forms on the Nile in Egypt. Northern Europe gets much wetter, and bogs return to previously dry areas. Sea level drops to roughly its present level. World surface temperatures were about one to two degrees cooler than present.

1000 AD to 1500 AD (“Middle Ages Warm Period”): This period showed a rapid, but uneven, warming of northern hemisphere climates. The North Atlantic becomes ice-free and allows wide-spread Norse exploration as far as North America. Norse colonies in Greenland export crop surpluses to Scandinavia. Wine grapes thrived in southern Britain. Temperatures were from 2° to 10° warmer than at present. The period lasted only a brief 500 years. By 1,500 AD, it had pretty much vanished. Causes of the warming period are unknown. It is speculated that this warm period gave rise to the Renaissance.

1430 to 1880 AD (The “Little Ice Age”): This is a period of rapid but uneven cooling of northern hemisphere climates. Alpine and Norwegian glaciers advance to their farthest extent in post-Pleistocene times. Northern forests disappear, to be replaced with tundra. Severe winters characterize much of northern Europe and North America (much to the dismay of the early American settlers). Canals and rivers ice over, snowfalls are heavy, and summers short and cool. World surface temperatures were about 1° to 3° cooler than present. In the US, the year 1816 is widely known as the “year with no summer”. Snow falls in New England in June. Widespread crop failures and deaths due to hypothermia are common. Causes of this cooling period are unknown.

1880 AD to 1940 AD: Warming trend (causes unknown). Mountain glaciers recede and ice in the Arctic Ocean begins to melt once more.

1940 AD to 1977 AD: Cooling trend (causes unknown). Temperatures are cooler than at present. Mountain glaciers stop receding, and some start to advance. Tabloids warn of coming widespread catastrophes due to “New Ice Age”.

You mean the "man-made"

You mean the "man-made" global warming argument, correct?

Anyway, I guess this is the DNC's "October surprise." They'll be upset when the RNC blows something up to out fox them.

Please, RNC, if you're going to blow something up to get the Old Boy elected... blow up Hollywood, would ya? Something useless....

BINGO!
