And who are the university's funded by?

Rich people? You seriously believe that? Research universities are funded extensively by corporations, interest groups and the govt.

I assume you are talking to me?
And like I said, rich people.

Also, people should look at the industrial pollution in China! Crazy. Oh wait that's our fault too

So, it would appear that we have resolved that it is unwise to trust politicians, scientists, big business, and the likes of Pat Robertson. Come on, kids - we already knew that. Listen to Skillet - There's nothin' left to do but ride - Oh, and stay clear of the coastline. The tides will be a b1tch.

Interesting point. Emerging industrial nations like China are polluting like we did 75 years ago.
Now, for the last forty years in the U.S. we've been doing things to curb automobile exhaust emissions (as well as other types, but I'll just stay with one for now). Early on they were pretty innocuous, PCV valves, non-vented fuel tanks etc., but they got more and more elaborate as time went by. By the mid seventies the engine compartments of automobiles were nightmares of wires and vacuum hoses. With the addition of A.I.R. pumps and flatter camshafts with different valve timing they were getting worse fuel mileage with less performance. Then electronic controls came along and cars suddenly started performing better, over the last few years we've seen a resurrection of the high horsepower/torque engine. The outstanding thing is that it puts out a minute amount of emissions when compared to the old technology of high performance cars. Plus they make much more power with less displacement.
So I guess I'm trying to make two points here.
One is that the need for cleaner air has led to wonderful advancements for auto/bike enthusiasts.
The other is that this technology could lower emissions from other countries as well if they would use it.
That was the main problem with the Kyoto Protocol. It put the onus on the developed nations that had already been reducing emissions, and left the emerging nations to pollute away.

Oh and for Dwight. That technology use thing applies to birth control technology too .

Asfor the "majority of scientists and climatologists believe", just show the proof of that. As I stated earlier, many of the academics who promote this agenda, are not in the disciplines that are related to this subject. Much less, since when does majority make right? More and more prominent scientists in the climate fields are speaking out against this hoax, they are attacked by academics and the media, yet not honestly debated on the issues.

BTW Jimmy, you seem to have a obvious political response there, and with such a love of algore and the apologetics for him, are you on his staff?

So what if the majority of "experts" say there may be icebergs here.
I have one that says the ship is unsinkable.

Thousands of years from now, after the comet/rogue asteroid strike, a race of super-intelligent cockroaches will have evolved to become the dominant species on this planet.
Perhaps their archeologists will be excavating one day and come across an America or a Speedmaster somehow miraculously preserved just below the newly discovered iridium layer in the ancient soils....

We can only imagine how the populace will react to such a find, mainly because none of us speak "cockroach"...

Man, you guys are a gloomy bunch of sods!! Stop worrying about Global Warming, Ice Ages, and Comet Strikes. In 10.5 million years the moon will begin to collapse into a White Dwarf, causing the moon to fragment, sending huge chunks of itself into our atmosphere just before the sun goes into Supernova thus obliterating several thousand years of human existence.

There, happier now?

Another happy thought, according to the population gurus none of the native populations of Europe are reproducing at anywhere near a replacement rate while the Moslem immigrant populations are exploding. If current trends continue, Europe will have voluntarily become part of the Middle East by the end of this century. A great victory for birth control and cultural relativity (neither of which will survive the changeover.)

Yeah Larry. They're some the ones that need to start using it.

And I know what some of you are thinking, so don't go to the retroactive bit .
