Comprehensive survey of published climate research reveals changing viewpoints

In 2004, history professor Naomi Oreskes performed a survey of research papers on climate change. Examining peer-reviewed papers published on the ISI Web of Science database from 1993 to 2003, she found a majority supported the "consensus view," defined as humans were having at least some effect on global climate change. Oreskes' work has been repeatedly cited, but as some of its data is now nearly 15 years old, its conclusions are becoming somewhat dated.

Early burning of the giant effigy not blamed on global waming but rather lunar eclipse or should I say loony eclipse.

This article actually has nothing to do with Global Warming, I just thought the title would be funny, and this guy is pretty funny looking. Plus, I think its ironic that the fire department had to extinguish the burning Burning Man, but they couldn't save it and 85% was burnt. But instead of burning the remains of the burnt Burning Man, they dismantled it and are building a smaller Burning Man to burn later. I also find it ironic that all these Greeny Weenies get together and celebrate by releasing tons of CO2 into the atmospere.

The Associated Press published the photo two years after it was taken. The image was snapped in August, a time when polar icecaps naturally melt and the wider shot would have shown that the bears were near land mass. Oh yeah, and polar bears can swim! All this didn't stop Al Gore from using the photo as emotional propaganda to support his case.
