I don't know if you think global warming is real or not - all I know is that the weather is too darned hot, and all indications are that this summer will be really hot.
The National Climatic Data Center's weather report shows that May was one of the hottest and driest springs in record: Link
It's a major crock of ship that a lot of folks are getting rich off of. How about those charlatans selling "carbon credits" (nothing more than carbon indulgences, really!) so they can ease their guilty consciences? It's a major scam.
Fortunately, the US recognized Kyoto as the fraud that it was and never signed on. I'm not quite so sure how the Red Chinese and Indians were able to bamboozle the Europeans so easily. While Europe agrees to limit its "carbon footprint", Red China is building 2,000 (yes, two THOUSAND) coal-fired power plants. If you are among those who sip the global warming Kool-Aid go complain to the Chocoms, not the U.S.
Straight talk from Sid.
I was there, and I live through it. Junk Science has been around for years. Remember when they thought that cigarettes were good for you? They were looking at flawed data, just like the global warming cult does today.
