Not only is Global warming real, it's obvious.
If you have read the An Inconvenient Truth or seen the movie, you'll know that Carbon dioxide is directly related with temperature variances. If you think, "Oh, the atmosphere is too big for anyone to do anything with it..." then consider this. If you took a globe, and coated it with a thin layer of varnish, that would be about the same size as the actual atmosphere compared to the Earth. The Earth is going through mass extinctions; it is about 1000 times higher than normal. In the summer of 2005, more than 200 cities broke all-time records for temperature. Within the last 600,000 years, (excepting the last 2000 years) the Carbon dioxide parts per million have fluctuated between about 260 ppm and 150 ppm. right now we are at about 350 ppm. Scientists predict that all of the glaciers in Glacier National Park will be gone in 5 years. Al Gore believes that within 10 years, it will be too late too save our planet. The most aggressive piece of legislation in our Congress today says that the industry average for miles per gallon must be at 35 mpg by 2020. I believe if we end the tax breaks to the Oil companies, and pull out Iraq, we would have enough money to go gas-free in 5 years. Do you still not believe in global warming, anyone?
P.S. Auntyrae, thanks for satirizing the worst problem our species has ever faced. It says a lot about your morals.
