WASHINGTON -- According to new research, the Earth is now the hottest it's been in 2,000 years, and researchers said it can be blamed on those of us who call it home.

A National Academy of Sciences report finds that in the Northern Hemisphere, average global surface temperatures climbed about 1 degree Fahrenheit in the 20th century. The experts said they believe the warming seen in the last few decades is unprecedented over the last 1,000 years.

The report was done for the chairman of the U.S. House of Representatives Science Committee, who hopes it registers with people questioning whether global warming is a major threat.

As if God wouldn't put the thermostat for Earth in Heaven with Him within His easy reach.No man can reach it there."Science" is just a longer word for "atheism".

...heheee. Wonder if "God" has a brain detector for all the neocon vacuum-packed idjits who think global warming is all imaginary. I don't think there's even a molecule of air inside their craniums -- much less anything else.

14. It'll be too late if we don't do something now

We're at a precipice. We can turn back to safety or just go falling over the edge.

13. There are actually people who are looking forward to global warming.

I posted this on DU some time ago and got absolutely no response.

See article "As Polar Ice Turns to Water, Dreams of Treasure Abound"

16. Good God...

...more raping the planet for profit. Is that all some people ever think about? Does it dawn on these veritable sardine cans that without a planet - profit will do them NO good?

DOH!

[Mythsaje]

18. I don't think I saw it...

but even if I did, I won't register even temporarily with the NYT, so I, of course, couldn't read the article.

20. There are idjits who insist Global Warming is BS

"Science for all purposes are bunk. Only word of GOD rules. As such global warming theory is bunk The second coming of Jesus Christ theory (as noted in the bible) is proven and fact, and must be materialized."

Fiction like this is designed to scare us and make us forget the current issues that affect us directly. Don't buy into Gore's scaremongering. Be on God's side and fight the Godless sinners!"
