If you mean Global Warming defined as the Earthâ€™s (air) temperature has risen since the last ice age, I would say this is true and proven. Just look at the temperature charts (Okay, they didnâ€™t have thermometers 10,000 years ago, but we do have tree rings, which can tell us about the seasons).

If you mean Global Warming defined as man causing the Earthâ€™s (air) temperature to rise, that is still unproven, but I will agree there is data that supports the theory. There is also data that debunks the theory.

â€œâ€¦we take control of the process.â€
Now that is a topic I like to discuss.

- So you admit it then - there's no global warming!! (n/t) - Bowser - 9/23/2004 7:44:30 PM

        Obviously I did not dispute any such thing. Research good. Pollution bad. So? (n/t) - alcaray - 9/24/2004 6:12:37 PM
        
        I agree with both of those. - REB - 9/24/2004 6:56:21 PM

        Okay, I'll admit the Earth's temperature has been rising, on average, since the last ice Age - REB - 9/24/2004 5:32:52 PM
        
        So REB is the new spokesman for the right on the topic of GW on HZ? (n/t) - alcaray - 9/24/2004 4:59:46 PM
        
        The search for the scientific truth is neither left nor right. - REB - 9/24/2004 5:45:42 PM

      - There is evidence of Global Warming, but I have also seen evidence we may be heading for an ice age. - Whacko REB - 9/24/2004 11:39:33 AM
