..., and not necessarily even effecting colder countries negatively,...[/img]
It's a bad move to let political cranks on either side muddy the science.
It's a bad move to let political cranks on either side muddy the science.The people cannot understand science even if wasn't corrupt. As for global warming, it would do wonders for siberia - just as solar power would do wonders for the U.S. economy.
Quite a centric point of view. "Not in my backwater? Ignore it!"Brazil was a desert during the last ice age. I don't live there, but my understanding is that Brazil is actually a rather temperate country. It it became warmer rather than colder, then perhaps they should count their blessings.
Yeah; whether global warming is a real concern or not (I think it is), it's a bad move to lump it in with pollution-sort ecological issues.That's exactly right. It's a bad idea to lump it in with more practical concerns which can actually be addressed.
Do we all agree, however, that pollution is bad and there's probably a connection?

Seriously, comparing geological ages?Thank you for asking. Geologically, we are due for an ice age.
You're pushing buttons, and loving every second of it.
As far as my reading goes, Earth is not due for another ice age for at least several tens of thousands of years.
No.
Then you should have posted you meant mini-ice ages like the Maunder Minimum or more broadly put the Little Ice Age.I am sure that there are many things that I should have done.
I just don't know sometimes. ;)

Pollution is "bad", but the climate has been cooling for at least several years, the last one having been the worst.

That depends on what type pollution
and it's all a matter of not pooping our own nest.
You should, as they're a waste product we put out (that causes harm, whether direct or not).
"Socialist Phalanx"....It's a list of links I made for last year's weather. I tried to post them to a fascist website too, but they banned me because they are very unfunny people. I had told them that my world vision is "retro hotel rooms..."
yeah, there's a site that I'm sure is grounded in solid science...
Tornado activity hits 60-year low
http://www.usatoday.com/story/weather/2013/05/09/quiet-tornado-season/2148075/ (http://www.usatoday.com/story/weather/2013/05/09/quiet-tornado-season/2148075/)
The USA in the past 12 months has seen the fewest number of tornadoes since at least 1954, and the death tolls from the dangerous storms have dropped dramatically since 2011.
Just two years after a ferocious series of tornado outbreaks killed hundreds of Americans, the USA so far this year is enjoying one of the calmest years on record for twisters. Through Thursday, tornadoes have killed only three Americans in 2013; by the end of May 2011, 543 Americans had died.
The year-to-date count of tornadoes is probably approaching the lower 10% of all years on record, said Greg Carbin, warning coordination meteorologist with the Storm Prediction Center in Norman.
The reason: An unusually cool weather pattern from the Rockies to the East Coast. "Generally, the lower the temperature and/or the drier the air, the lower the number of thunderstorms," said AccuWeather meteorologist Alex Sosnowski.
