Opening Post

I have followed Dr. Robert Brown and Joel Connelly in the Seattle P.I. recently as well as George Monbiot's offerings in the UK Guardian. What I have noticed is the large number of anti-scientific posters vehemently resisting the idea of Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW). Scientists and others more learned than I have tirelessly and continually debunked the same presumed counter-arguments, however, I believe a person should do what he/she can against this outpouring of scientific rejection. So I'll post thoughts and articles that seem to be relevant in that regard.

Right now the poor Capitol Washingtonians are digging out of two major snowstorms which gave one of our number one enemies of the planet, Sen. James Inhof (R-OK), a chance to build an igloo and to declare forthwith that AGW be dead. His implied point, I guess, is that if the theory of AGW is true, no storms of more severity than normal should happen. And further, this winter everywhere has been the worst in some time, validating those (like himself) who say the planet is cooling.

Below I offer you a pictorial from Jeff Masters' Wunder Blog (Feb. 15th, 2010) which shows just how warm the northern part of North America has been lately.

And now you know why they are importing snow from the mountains and using dry ice under some of the runs in Vancouver B.C. Both of these extremes are consistent with AGW and if they persist in future years, we, as all of us, are going to have to do something about it.
