Concerning the Myans...

"These models suggest that as ecosystems were destroyed by mismanagement or were transformed by global climatic shifts"

Models??. Notice they mention 'global' again?

Climate models have been failing miderably in the projected temperature and sea level rise that these climate extremist have been touting for years. They have to make constant asjustments to the paramaters and coding of these models to justify their false claims. No one can deny that the earth has NOT warmed in th last 10 years, or so..

Why is that?

LOL, I agree, Guns.

I should have selected a font color more in line with the color of money. After all, Isn't that why so many of these people who are leading the 'green' movement are in it in the first place?

akapatrick,

I also believe that we have an effect on the environment with pollutants and such, but, to say that man is causing 'global warming' and that it is obvious, well, I strongly disagree there. My believes are based on scientific reports, not media hype.

Even the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a strong proponent of AGW) admits that the planet is not warming at this time. They also say that it won't warm again until 2015 or so. Of course, their claims of a re-start are based on faulty climate models. Tell me, did their precious models predict this 15-20 year break in warming? Or the cooling of the last year or so? Absolutely not. As a matter of fact, the only body of the four responsible for measuring global temperatures that claims that earth is still warming is the GISS (NASA's Godard institute for space studies) which is lorded over by one DR. James Hansen, who has bee caught fudging the numbers on more that one occasion. There have been times in the past, when the climate has been warmer and cooler than it is now, when carbon PPM in the atmosphere was much lower.

We cannot rely fully on fossil fuels forever. That being said, there is no reason to 'fast track' unproven (especially on a massive scale) alternative energy methods, or substantially increase our tax burden because of an hypothesis.
