It's all a conspiracy brought about by -those dirty, godless-hippie-pinko pseudo-scientists!
If only those pesky facts didn't get in the way of the radical right.
Last year was the eighth warmest year on record, according to the National Climatic Data Center.

The world's temperature in 2008 tied that of 2001, according to the center, a division of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

Preliminary calculations show the world's average temperature for 2008 was 0.88 degree Fahrenheit above the 20th Century average of 57.0 degrees.

The ranking means that the 10 warmest years on record have occurred since 1997. Record keeping began in 1880.
See? The lies and deceit go back well over a century.

Science, bah! All of the science anyone needs is in the inerrant Word of the Bible. The only serious warming in the Bible concerns a place that is really warm, and that's where the purveyors of scientific nonsense will end up. We, the godly, will get grandstand seats to watch them writhe as they burn.

BE WARNED!!, you atheistic trash. You're gonna get it in spades when Jesus gets back here, and that don't mean he'll be handing out no crackers!

I don't think that organic life could survive at a 100% O-2 level. As soon as it appeared, poof!, nothing left but ash.

Something of interest, or at least it should be.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Sea levels on the United States' mid-Atlantic coast are rising faster than the global average because of global warming, threatening the future of coastal communities, the Environmental Protection Agency said on Friday.

Coastal waters from New York to North Carolina have crept up by an average of 2.4 to 4.4 millimeters (0.09 to 0.17 inches) a year, compared with an average global increase of 1.7 millimeters (0.07 inches) a year, the EPA said in a report.

As a result, sea levels along the East Coast rose about a foot over the past century, the EPA's report, commissioned by the Climate Change Science Program, said.

Human-induced global warming is real, according to a recent U.S. survey based on the opinions of 3,146 scientists. However there remains divisions between climatologists and scientists from other areas of earth sciences as to the extent of human responsibility.

...

Petroleum geologists and meteorologists were among the biggest doubters, with only 47 percent and 64 percent, respectively, believing in human involvement.
