For all of you naysayers out there, 'experts' are re-emphasizing that Global Warming is real.
Studies looking at the oceans and melting Arctic ice leave no room for doubt that it is getting warmer, people are to blame, and the weather is going to suffer, climate experts have said.And if you are thinking that global warming is a myth, you are just an irrational ignoramus.New computer models that look at ocean temperatures instead of the atmosphere show the clearest signal yet that global warming is well under way, Tim Barnett of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography said.
Speaking at an annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, Barnett said climate models based on air temperatures are weak because most of the evidence for global warming is not even there.
"The real place to look is in the ocean," Barnett told a news conference.
"The debate over whether or not there is a global warming signal is now over, at least for rational people," he said.And if you think that increasing global temperatures are a natural phenomenon, perhaps caused by the fact that solar output is higher now than in the past 1100 years, think again.
"Could a climate system simply do this on its own? The answer is clearly no," Barnett said.The planet is simply incapable of warming on it's own. If it weren't for the invention of the SUV 20,000 years ago, we'd still be stuck in an ice age.
And if you have any doubt about the mission of the Scripps Institution, check out this statement from the Director.

There you go using facts and logic again.
When they get the re-education camps set up, you'll get one of the first bullets, er, seats.

Isn't that self-contradictory?. And how the hell did we get out of the last ice age; neanderthals burning too much wood?
