AP: Global warming is "already happening"


iconAccording to the AP, there isn't much room for debate on Global Warming. They report the West is heating up, and humans are to blame.

Forget talk of global warming and speculation of what it might do in 50 years, or 100. Here and across the West, climate change already is happening. Temperatures are warmer, ocean levels are rising, the snowpack is dwindling and melting earlier, flowers bloom earlier, mountain glaciers are disappearing and a six-year drought is killing trees by the millions.

Most scientists agree humans are to blame for at least part of that warming trend, but to what degree?

Notice how they slipped the new buzz words "climate change" in there. If you read down far enough, buried in paragraph 24, they actually bring up the opposing viewpoint.
Not everyone subscribes to the global warming theory. Frontiers of Freedom, a Washington, D.C. public policy group, doesn't believe humans have anything to do with the gradual warming of the Earth.

"These things happen. That's just the way nature has always been," said George Landrith, president of Frontiers of Freedom. "Variability has always existed. There's nothing new about that."

Landrith dismisses global warming as politically motivated.

But then they temper that by claiming that lush meadows filled with wildflowers will be "decimated" in a few years by warmer temperatures.

So much for balance.

Hmm... Never heard the term "Dustbowl", eh?

Still no word on what technology is being used to ship SUV's and gasoline to Mars to cause the warming there, either.
