I thought I read somewhere that polar bear populations are actually on the increase...why the picture of a polar bear to highlight this article? More propoganda and fear mongering from the left, perhaps?

The acceleration of climate change is only going to intensify as we do basically nothing. The point of no return will come long before anyone ever thought and disaster awaits mankind for his selfish use of fossel fuels. The evidence is overwhelming but naysayers continue to thwart any real action because they fear the cost in monetary terms. The net result will cost mankind well into the quadrillions of dollars for our inaction. The lack of foresight is truely remarkable for a species that thinks it is so smart. To not err on the side of caution with what ls at stake is actually really stupid. As the old saying goes, if my foresight was as good as my hindsight I be a damn sight better off. Quadrillions of dollars and millions of lives lay in the balance. My children and grandchildren are inheriting an earth that will have been if not destroyed changed forever with very grim chances of long term survival for the human species thought to have known what it was doing.

Climate Change exists it is a NATURAL phenomenon driven mainly by Sun spot activities. There is not ONE scientific paper which PROVES that the MINISCULE amounts of CO2 in the air emitted by MAN have any noticeable effect on climate whatsoever. The earth has been COOLING for the past 12 years while man's CO2 emissions have continued to RISE. The NATURAL state of the planet over thousands of years is FAR warmer than it is now. CO2 rises ALWAYS follow Global Warming they NEVER precede it ask a GEOLOGIST not a CLIMATOLOGIST who cant even tell you if it will rain tomorrow. CO2 is not a pollutant... it is a VITAL part of the cycle of life... it feeds plants plants feeds humans and animals..... MORE CO2 more plants more food better for life, LESS CO2 less plants man and animals starve. So apart from being TOTALLY wrong about AGW, Green NAZI's are also anti LIFE.

First, genuine science proceeds by making up hypotheses and then testing them, in that order. But global warming theory tries to do it in reverse by starting off with "data" and then extrapolating. It avoids testing altogether, as the models it uses are specially constructed so that they cannot but fit the "data".

Secondly, in genuine science data consist of observations. But most of global warming theory's "data" are cunningly called "proxy data" -- in other words, not the results of independent observations, but carefully constructed products of the theory itself, specially engineered to support the theory.
