What is our first concern? I take it your not discrediting rising sea levels, just critiqueing, but what is this other concern?

To deter from the main point, I'm of the mind set that you could show me all the scientific data you want that say's one thing or the other and I won't believe either. Screw global warming and nuts to the economy. Is the only reason we are trying to curb unethical development because it's bad for business or it may destroy the planet? I need no scientific data to tell me that if I put mercury in my neighbors drink for free I'm a criminal, so corporations that put things much worse in the world's well to further increase an already rediculous profit margin aren't criminals, they are poorly written super villans. You know, the kind who's diabolical plan is so retarded that the 6 year old reading the comic book questions who wrote it. Yet here they are, externalizing sterio-types of the sociopathic corporate entity.

When I was a kid I always wondered how Lex Luthar could be Supermans rival. How could a rich industrialist compete with someone that could was bullit proof and could fly? I thought it was unrealistic. Now we live in a world where we find out about botched corporate disasters every day. There is always a meteor headed towards earth, or a government trained super weapon running lose. They are chemicals in our water and hormones in our food, and they kill more people than a comic book has ever shown being killed.

How could Lex compete with Superman? Because in the real world, we would crucify Superman just as quickly as the big J.C. Every Lex he brought in to the police station would be a hit to the economy. Every bomb deffused would be a business practice violation with negative financial returns. Superman would be sued in a court of law for harassing businesses because every evil deed was a profit making opportunity, and the potential health concerns were considered secondary to the returns of the shareholders.

Welcome to the real world- you're Lex's evil henchmen and every time you're putting the economy over public safety, your shooting Superman with Kryptonite. Now tell that to the 6 year old version of yourself.

A quick note about corollary pseudoscience: When a theory isn't testable, or is drawn from data that doesn't exist, it isn't science. When a theory rests upon corollary evidence, it is pseudoscience. No matter where we stand on an issue, this is the case and pseudoscience will never be real science no matter how much we want it to be so.

Surface and atmospheric temperatures have increased throughout our solar system. It is unlikely to be an unrelated phenomenon.

The accuracy of the "extrapolated dates" from ice cores and geological record are debatable. That doesn't mean they are wrong, but it does mean they are questionable.

Solar output isn't understood today, much less during the past when we don't know how to extract that information from ice, geologic, or fossil record. Data "cleansing" in this area results in casting doubt upon conclusions drawn from that data.

Think globally, act locally — let's not make fools of ourselves on the international stage.
