intersting thing is the "alarmists" always say "this breaks a 50 yr record, a 80 yr record or 120 yr record", but all that means it was like that or very close to it "back when"...
as Al Gore says in his movie (and lots of scientists do too): temperature is rising because of CO2 levels are... but who can say thats true? maybe its like "some other" scientists say : the the CO2 levels are rising because of temperature is?
if they correspond, b/c both can be proven...its just what "most" can sell and benefit from...
