"5 degrees in the past 30 something years. Not a big number."
Wow, that's some serious understatement. If it /was/ 5 degrees already, the results would be catastrophic. The amount of extra water melted would have flooded many cities.
Yes, the numbers involved are small - but only because that's how we measure them. No, that does not make them insignificant.
Somehow "fighting" them has some bearing on whether they can be trimmed and marked? /How/ exactly would that be related?
Having someone official present or saying "it's a part of life" means very little. Look at the damn photos - I don't think you have to experience it to tell that it does not look enjoyable for the horses.
Lisal, you realise what you just said makes no sense:
You have been brought up a certain way ... so everyone else must have been brought up the same way, or they're spewing idiocy or "holier-than-thou" rhetoric.
Painfully ironic, methinks.
Anyway, I barely even recognised them as dogs, and I really can't see any "gross" factor. It's way nicer than roadkill.
First, the fact it would destroy massive, MASSIVE amount of farmland by sea level rise is completely ignored, then all warnings of global warming are called "propaganda", and then someone compares it to Nazi Germany ... truly shocking.
Yes, I linked to wikipedia. What would you prefer me link to? A website funded by pro- or anti-global warming zealots? Perhaps I could link to several of the scientific institutions who endorse it. But no, that wouldn't be unbiased enough for you. So I link wikipedia, which has linked SOURCES which anyone can follow and validate for themselves.
Finally, regarding "fooling" people. Comparing this to ideologies is absurd - all humans have the capacity to do "evil", and will do so if forced or coerced. Scientific research, however, has nothing (though I'm sure some conspiracy subscribers disagree) to do with force or coercion, just the natural human capacity to be curious.
I wish I knew how I could gain from saying global warming was happening, and thus get all this magical cash that appears upon announcing such ...
Naturally these inviduals who believe it is a "scam" are much more intelligent than nearly the entire scientific community :/ Calling it a "scam" for one is a completely absurd idea, similar to calling the moon landings a "hoax". You can't fool tens of thousands of people that easily.
"consider that there is huge money on both sides" ... eh? Are you saying that pretty much every scientist involved in these studies, whether they produce pro- or anti- GW findings, are being bribed?
Have a read of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_warming someday.

Because they're significantly less well paid than the oil/energy companies?

Just because global warming doesn't affect /you/ badly, doesn't mean it won't affect others.
(Sorry for off topic, but self-centered comments like that get to me).
Well done to all those people for costing other people money.

Oddly enough, I think it's now the US that's ruled by priests, not England.
