The Washington Post is still too spineless to call it torture.

I have a US "Green Card". I had to fill out about 27 forms and the last three required me to print my name in block letters, one letter per square. Being British I have of course impeccable printing.

All the correspondence had my name spelled correctly but when I got the card - my name was spelled incorrectly.

"It's a good thing we don't get all the government we pay for" - Will Rogers.

That's like saying we should equally worry about the guys that say 2+2 = 4 and the guys that say 2+2 = 7.

You're thinking about pollution, not climate. Noting emits CO2 on it's own.

People say "we're working on our carbon footprint" really mean "we're trying to pollute less, but for now we'll keep in doing it".

Darwin.

Copernicus.

97%.

"97%+ of geologists agreed the continents were stable. It was Settled Science. Hundreds of research papers supported it. Overwhelming consensus. And wrong. And, oddly (not really, if you think about it a moment), it was not a geologist but a meteorologist, Alfred Wegener, who ultimately showed all the mutually agreeing geologists they had it all wrong; the continents move." - Michael K. Oliver

Just because it's claimed to be settled science doesn't mean it's true. Never confuse truth for consensus.

Here's a picture of the temperature "slowly going up"

Um, about that Ozone thing.

DuPont many factors that crisis. HFCF's that replaced CFC's are 98% as harmful.

DuPont got paid to reclaim all the CFCs, make the HCHC's and make all the gear for both.

Funny how that 2% made all the difference in the world.

"We were supposed to be halfway toward a frying world now..." .' Now Lovelock is walking back his rhetoric, admitting that he and other prominent global warming advocates were being alarmists. In a new interview with MSNBC he says: '"The problem is we don't know what the climate is doing. We thought we knew 20 years ago. That led to some alarmist books — mine included — because it looked clear-cut, but it hasn't happened," Lovelock said. "The climate is doing its usual tricks. There's nothing much really happening yet. We were supposed to be halfway toward a frying world now," he said. "The world has not warmed up very much since the millennium. Twelve years is a reasonable time it (the temperature) has stayed almost constant, whereas it should have been rising — carbon dioxide is rising, no question about that," he added.' Lovelock still believes the climate is changing, but at a much, much slower pace."

True. But you get the point.

Not the first typo I've ever made. And it won't be the last. But you got the point.

How about the 75% divergence between the 2007 IPCC predictions and the 2012 IPCC measurements.

Can you explain those?

No water is the key.

Plants adapt to higher temperatures. That's why they grow better in the tropics.

Are you aware all plant life on earth is carbon limited and that CO2 used to be 7000ppm?

Here's a paper that says unless we have more CO2 we're not going to be able to grow enough food to feed the world in the future:

All plants have a temperature range they're happy in. Irelands used to grow wheat, but when it cold colder and wetter they switch to potatoes. The kind of temperature increases being talked about (that didn't happen) aren't going to affect anything.

Water matters more. And it's known when you cut down all the trees, rain sorta stops - think of trees as hydraulic pumps that squite water into the air from the ground and you'd not be too wrong.

We've killed half the trees in the last 100 years.

Is there a chance AGW is a smoke screen for that?

AGW has also attenuated discussion of pollution, any chance AGW is a smokescreen for that?

Co2 keeps going up, but temperatures haven't risen as projected. Does that mean mother nature is wrong or the IPCC model is? Pick one.

Please go on about fruits that require cold. Which ones?

Why do they require it?
