The recent warming is a blip in this descent. ------------------------------------------------------ About 8000 actually, nice graph here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocene_climatic_optimum And yes, the Holocene climate optimum proves that the current warming is trivial, and that there is no possible "tipping point"

You claim laws "laws that prohibits each kind of weapon, except for sports" and at the same time "warn everybody within your range and to kill you first". I don't know why you even brought up the bit about laws. > Here is a nice 13 minute lay-level presentation of that scenario: > http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/sciencenow/3318/01.html Peter, you can tell this story to your grandchildren. Teach them how to use automatic weapons to defend themselves and property against the "have nots" in a world of dwindling resources and increasing populations.

CLEANTECHNICA: NASA to Earth: Global Warming Is for Real, Folks! NASA is putting its two cents into the global warming conversation with a new Web site that details the climate change phenomenon, including videos, articles and a huge archive of images http://cl.exct.net/?qs=bb493ab0c40160cae3dcdd3f65e9769a9e5d4b1c53f56c4f6b30056f712da911 Climate Change: Follow The Money Not that money is equivalent to truth, but sometimes it can be an indication of motives. It�s no accident that oil money is behind organizations like the Southeastern Legal Foundation, which is challenging the U.S. EPA on greenhouse gas emissions, to say nothing of Exxon�s history of involvement in climate denialism. Contrast that to the U.S. Department of Defense, which just issued a Quadrennial Defense Review assessing threats to national security that basically put the entire U.S. military on global warming alert. So, follow the money: some companies are betting against global warming (and therefore against our national security if you believe the DoD), but a growing list of other companies are putting their money behind NASA and the DoD by supporting climate legislation and engaging in national sustainability initiatives.
