That's because they'll be in Oldsmoboat's mouth.

They said the same thing in the 80s. 10 years before that they said it would expand.

How much are you willing to give up for it? Car, TV, education, health care? Tell me?

There's no such thing as a free lunch.

No need to give up anything. Just need to improve what we have. Replace cars with all electric cars - make them cost the same. Replace all power plants with whatever is more efficient, probably solar, wind and hydro. Maybe nuclear if we can figure out the best way to dispose of the waste. If the money can spend billions of dollars every second for the iraq war and other stuff, then they can spend a couple billions here and there to help achieve these things.

/facepalm

It's not going to cost "a couple billions here and there" to convert the world economy to green energy sources. Solar, wind and hydro are not efficient yet. The technologies simply haven't come along far enough to start replacing oil on a large scale.

Ah to hell with it. I'm going to get a hummer and then afterward maybe go car shopping.

So which of the ten points are you specifically refuting?

Anthony Watts obviously has an agenda and trouble with data. I think I'll trust the climate scientist with the PhD and decades of research over Glen Beck's weatherman.

Which of the ten points are you referring to that scientifically disproves the conclusions of the Caitlin survey?

So ice melts during the summer. Knock me over with a feather.

I'm sure glad they ruled out cyclical changes in ocean currents. After all, air is such a better conductor of heat than water. Oh wait...
