Soooooo, where is the Warming?

One thing for sure the partisanship is very evident in this thread, which creates a very high temperature environment that has nothing to do with global warming. Reading science on both sides of the issue, weighing the information and then deciding is the best way to understand this issue, or any other complicated issue. But, I will be the first to say that repeating someone else's talking points is certainly much less time consuming and easier.

If it makes anyone feel any better, air quality in the US has improved dramatically in the past 20 years. The EPA requires the monitoring of six major air pollutants associated with asthma and other respiratory illnesses. This is how much (according to the EPA) each has dropped from 1990-2010:
Lead: 83%
Nitrogen Dioxide: 45%
Carbon Monoxide: 73%
Sulfur Dioxide: 76%
Ozone: 17%
Particulate Matter: 38%
Having said that, US is still a close second to China in energy consumption and CO2 emissions.

Screw our grandkids. If we use up all the oil in the ground, they can find their own.
It only takes a few million years to make some more.

Actually it can be made relatively quickly from algae. Don't worry your kids, grandkids and great grandkids will have plenty of carbon based forms of energy.

It is very warm out tonight. I think Al Gore is right, he did invent the internet.

A single year (or any part of a year) does not indicate a change in the science of global warming. The highs are slated to be as much as 10-15 degrees above normal for the next couple of days but you will not hear the climate scientists crowing "See, I told ya so!!!"

Edit: misunderstood your post, sorry. Deleted mine.

n the science of global warming.

Please explain how it follows any semblance of the scientific method. Empirical evidence is proving the CO2=warming theory inaccurate. Please find another religion.

You may not be too bright to begin with if you believe the last four posts made you dumber

You're right. I'm a dumbass. I believe in what science and facts tell me. When will I learn!!!
