I was being scarcastic with a "a couple weeks of global warming". I followed a bunch of links attached to that article and everything is blamed on GW (global warming). It makes me crazy.

I realize since the "rise of machines" that CO2 is being added to the atmosphere unnaturally. But to say on a global level this causes warming, I don't think so. Does temerature track CO2 levels or vice versa? they still can't say.

For purposes of scale. If we look at weather patterns since say 65,000,000 million years ago and then 200 years of human recorded data. I use 65 mill years because that's when the dinos died (K-T extinction event) and the earth entered it's "modern age"..oceans were pretty much like they are now. Oceans have the largest impact on weather patterns.

Anyway 200 years in 65 mill on a scale is equivalent of .011" on a 100 yard football field. (three average brunette human hairs (.004" diameter) laying side by side)

The eco-nuts have their head so far up their arse they can't see anything. For example-Ethanol in Brazil from sugar cane. Great, wonderful, reduce emmissions. How do you grow that much sugar cane? Answer--Burn down the rain forests for cropland. Another fine example. Wind turbines out west and in Western MD. They are being held back due to the potential of birds flying into them.
