Poll: Global warm opinions

[Bill]

On changing one's opinions I'd like to think that when presented with facts we can learn enough that even our opinion can change.

For global warming I started thinking that climate cycles swing both ways and we're just on a swing one way or the other. Then I noted that we ( the world )  burn 80 million barrels ( or is it gallons - I can never remember. The mind is such a sad thing to lose ) of fuel per day and figured that sooner or later that would have an effect on air - like adding alcohol to the blood stream - sooner or later you feel it  ;D  . Next I read that the glaciers are melting in Greenland - so what - well turns out they  say  that so much cold fresh water came off Greenland that it diverted the Gulf Stream to the south - so what do you think happened in Europe - England gets snow storms instead of rain and there's huge blizzards collapsing roofs in Germany. They say the glaciers melted because of global warming and I'm pretty sure glaciers don't just melt on their own.

So without becoming an alarmist I have a new opinion - maybe we should pursue a policy that shows what I'm hearing as an energy neutral effect. Like if you harvest corn ( ethanol ) or algae ( biodiesel ) you remove CO2 from the air and put it back when you burn it which then grows corn and algae again and again and again . . . 

Maybe some "new" data/facts will come out and I'll have to change my thinking - like sometimes having no money changes my choices . . .   :(   

( Lately I've even begun to worry that the globally dimming politicians are serving someone other than me - fancy that ! )

- Modat22 : I can't start to think about guns now as Phila is going through another campaign to blame the gun not the people tirade even though they were offered help prosecuting gun violators - which they shot down last year rather then seriously stopping criminals. I guess next they'll blame pens,pencils,typewriters and computers for lies - better outlaw them now before it gets worse.

No change in opinion for me ;D  Yep it is reality   Could be natural change or man made, either way we should get off fossil fuel slow and steady not to hurt the economy too much, but get off the DanG stuff ;)

Burn wood 8)  $500 a cord prices so we can make some money like them oil companies maken record profits  >:( :D

I hear that a volcano erupted this week spewing thousands of tons of ash into the air.  Maybe it will be a tad cooler this year.
