Well, if you think "global warming" is just a red-flag "loaded phrase",
let's hear your answer to the question:

Glaciers, sea ice covers, and ice caps are melting all over the world.  (Not
all of them, but most - over 70%, I'd say).  See the February issue of
Scientific American.  If it's not global warming that's causing all this,
what is?

If people believe Man Made Global Warming is true, why don't they do
anything effective about it? The Kyoto protocol will have a negligible
effect, and there has been little progress on a replacement treaty. A
reduction of 80-90% in carbon emissions by industrialized nations would be
required. This is what is needed to produce an overall 50% reductions
because 3rd world emissions are rising rapidly. To put this level of
reductions in context, 10% of your household electricity consumption
consists of appliances on standby.

If people really believed this, we would see radically different
behavior. Eg a massive switch to nuclear for electricity and
nuclear-generated hydrogen for transport. Greenhouse taxes to create the
right incentives across the economy.

What we need is a good war to reduce population levels. Sorry, sick
joke.
