Default Earth’s temperature highest in 400 years!

http://thinkprogress.org/2006/06/22/...-in-400-years/

"A major new 155-page report by the National Academy of Sciences has found that Earth’s rising temperature “is unprecedented for at least the last 400 years and potentially the last several millennia,” and that “human activities are responsible for much of the recent warming.”"

GASP!!! Oh my!!!! This proves humans and SUV's are responsible for the earth's warming! The earth is warmer than it's ever been in 400 years!!! And potentially the last several millennia!!!!!

No, what this means is the earth was warmer 400 years ago than it is today, and that potentially, the earth was warmer the last several millennia. 400 years ago, what was the level of man-made greenhouse gases? How about several millennia ago? They must have been at least as high as they are today, otherwise the earth would not have been as warm has it was!

What a load of crap.

Actually it was the jews and liberals who caused it. In fact I'm also pretty sure it was a jewish conspiracy that killed off all the dinosaurs.

I'm also certain that the past 2 million years have been a relative ice age compared to, say, 65 million years ago.

Default The point is quite obvious

The point is quite obvious--the earth has warmed up and cooled down, all on its own, for millions and millions of years, with or without the contribution of any human activity. Saying the earth is warmer now than it has been in 400 only proves that the earth was warmer 400 years ago. Now, I am unaware of the internal combustion engine being around in 1606, but somehow, the earth was warmer without it.

There is only one way that it could possibly be shown that human activity contributes to the warming of the earth, and that would be scientific evidence that the earth is warmer today than it ever has been, since its day of creation. But saying it's only warmer than it was 400 years ago only proves the opposite.

Sure, but this is by no means a fact.

More from "The Most Trusted Name in News" --

Whereas every other credible news agency is running this story with an "Earth Warmest in 400 years" headline, CNN took the liberty to mulitply that number by five:

http://www.cnn.com/2006/TECH/science....ap/index.html
Quote:
Study: Earth 'likely' hottest in 2,000 years
Yes truebelievers, this from our most trusted name in news. Their unbiased reporting should provide a beacon of hope to budding jounalists endeavoring to "say it like it is."

Later in the story, CNN is kind enough to provide us a link where you can "(Watch as lawmakers argue saving the planet could ruin our economy-- 2:24)"

That's right folks, Congress is debating whether we should save the planet from total destruction or maintain our happy economy.

Move along people, nothing to see here.
