"Somehow I don't think your comment added anything to the dialog. "
That's my point, Bruce. There can be no can be no serious dialog or discussion on these issues because every time it's mentioned, someone invariably has to say '...just ask Al Gore' or some such ridiculous statement. It always has to leads to a political slam of some flavor.

Okay, Dino. Al Gore is a self-appointed "expert" on global warming. He was given a Nobel Prize for his "work" on global warming. Do you really think there is a more high profile American who is supporting the global warming myth? To whom should I refer someone for information? Despite the fact that Mr Gore has a carbon footprint larger than the state of Rhode Island, he tells everyone else to reduce theirs.

"Empirical experience beats theory any day."
If your empirical data is collected on a global scale and for long enough period of time, yes it does. Otherwise your merely giving local, current observations. Saying that because it's cold outside in January means there is no global warming is like walking outside at night and claiming that there is no sun because you can't see it.
"it is hard to sell to say, the Brits right about now"
Probably wasn't that hard last summer. http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2010/dec/14/hottest-year-environment-review-vidal?INTCMP=SRCH
"Two record cold winter's in a row."
Yep, with a record high summer in between. Doesn't that sound like the weather pattern is changing?
"Let's not confuse the issue."
My issue is that the only reason the topic is ever put on this forum is to politicize it. Do you think the 191 countries that have ratified the Kyoto Protocol give a rats a** who Al Gore is?

Ok guys, if my memory serves me right during the age of the dinosaurs, it was very hot and sweaty. Then came along a huge ass rock that struck the earth causing mayhem in our weather and bringing on the ice age. This theory has now been accepted by the Science Community as to why the big die off. Oh, the by product from this was petroleum and who knows, maybe us. So, watch out for falling rocks.
