[Hoot Gibson]

The rest of your post was worthless, and nothing more than you "re-hashing" the same tired strawmen that I have pointed out already.

Since you claim that you would "love to read it", I'll provide you some articles:
From the NSF - an article about the effects of global warming on algae and coral - dated September 9, 2009. http://www.nsf.gov/news/news_summ.jsp?cntn_id=115611

From the NSF - a study conducted in 2003, showing large scale changes in the salinity of the ocean. http://www.nsf.gov/od/lpa/news/03/pr03145.htm

From the NSF - a study conducted in 2006, showing the impact of global warming on amphibian populations. http://www.nsf.gov/news/news_summ.jsp?cntn_id=105707


It took me all of three minutes to Google up these articles at the NSF. I'm pretty sure that you know how a search engine works, at least, well enough to have found them yourself. You obviously have no interest in them, and that's fine. But please, don't act as if studies such as these don't exist.

Your arguments to deny the very fact of global warming are pitiful. This is like listening to a kid deny that school exists, hoping that he won't have to attend.

Before you pull something out of joint patting yourself on the back for your self-proclaimed "googling up" ability, please point out which of these studies show that any global warming has occurred since 1998. Most people can find irrelevant information using a search engine. Your search results so far have been underwhelming, and I am being charitable. Maybe you should try "binging up" some links. I prefer Google but Microsoft claims that Bing is a more intelligent search engine.

Can you find any government site that refutes the claims that many of the surface monitoring stations have been surrounded by asphalt, chimneys, and air conditioning vents over the past 100 years or more? How about similar photos showing how well similar sites in Russia, China, and Bangladesh are maintained? Is it in those countries' respective self interests to produce reliable data that might torpedo Al Gore's portfolio and deny themselves an opportunity to gain a competitive edge over American industries?

If you want to post a relatively recent link to a study that shows that global temperatures are rising and that they fit the models used in the past, as I said, I would love to see it. No more red herrings, please.

There is a reason that so many global warming studies focus on local regional climate changes and that reason is obvious if one is willing to look. If you remove your head from the...sand, you might also realize that the cap and tax legislation being proposed by our Socialist-In-Chief will further damage a very weak economy.

I don't know how bad the economy is in the Ashland area but things are getting worse by the day here in Chimneyville. I look forward to some improvement late next year. Never was Reagan's statement about government being part of the problem more true than it is today.
