I don't think the environmentalists would like that at all. I’d have to agree, only your dogs can be put on a leash. I don’t think the environmentalists would like that at all.

It is trivial to measure CO2 concentration in the atmosphere. That rise is known to a high degree of accuracy. It is harder to measure temperature rises, but even global warming opponents in the climate field generally agree on about a 1 degree surface temperature rise. That rise should hardly be a surprise, since it is a continuation of the trend since the litle ice age. And it still isn't warm enough to farm Greenland, which it was a millenium ago! Noel,

Are you even sure of the stats you cite, John? Warmonger, The case for global cooling was made in the 70’s by some of the same dirt-worshiping anti-capitalists.

It has to do with causality - just because B follows A doesn't necessarily prove that A is the cause of B. If you put on your finest feathers and beat the drums, the eclipse will go away - but it'll go away even if you retire to your bedroom and take a nap! Conventional wisdom has it that we are going through an age of global warming, but a powerful case can be made for the claim that we are long overdue for another ice age.

It's "causality", isn't it? Additionally, the argument carries no weight with the environmentalists -- they want numbers that support their cause. Facts to the contrary shall be given a thorough ignoring. Hate to be picky, but I am (naturally).

It’s “causality”, isn’t it?

Additionally, the argument carries no weight with the environmentalists — they want numbers that support their cause. Facts to the contrary shall be given a thorough ignoring.

It's a graph of number of stork sightings vs the population of Oldenberg Germany. There is a beautiful fit. The graphs correspond beautifully. One can of course draw the conclusion that storks bring babies. There’s a great graph that was used in some intros to statistics showing pitfalls of assigning casualty.
