Here is the bottom line. Is the globe any warmer now than it was say 50 years ago. Maybe, maybe not. For this conversation lets say it is. So what exactly does that prove. IMHO nothing!

Lets say the globe is warmer now than it was say 10 years ago what does that prove? Again nothing!

Fact - scientists have been able to determine that the earth has undergone global temperature changes in it's past, at times being much colder than it is now, other times much warmer than it is now. All these thing happened without man being a factor. What is in question now is what we see going on around us a natural cycle or something that is man made. With only a couple hundred years of hard factual historical data, a mere blink in the history of the earth I find it very irresponsible for any scientist to either confirm or deny the idea of global warming. No matter there isn't a thing we can do to stop it, leading me to believe there is little doubt we are doing much to cause it in the first place. However doing our best to conserve and respect the earth we live on (with in reason, not hugging trees or spotted owls) is in the best interest of mankind as a whole.

The more studies that come out either somehow proving or disproving global warming the less credibility they have and so does the theory. There is simply not even 1000 years of hard data to come to that kind of conclusion.
