Global warming myth busted

You want overwhelming evidence pointed out step by step? Well I have it right here. It's a long video, but make the time to watch this because it will open your eyes.

He shows many instances in the past where CO2 levels were higher and the climate was very cold. Many more to list. Do yourself a favor and watch this. But please  please  please...watch the video first before commenting. I say this because I want you to decide for yourself after watching it. Then point out any parts you disagree with, and why. Look at the data first hand presented like no other way i've seen. This is good science modeling, not a bunch of hype that isn't supported by facts. These people get grants to continue to spew all this crap.

Thanx.

P.S. Just remember one thing. We've had many ice ages, and some mini ice ages, and there were no cars, planes, factories, and so on. In fact, in one instance, during the revolutionary war, the Delaware river had ice floating, and the people suffered much because of cold weather. This was during a mini-ice age. I'd rather have global warming than an ice age, because people eat during  warming. Cold weather all around is bad news because you can't grow food.

The cab ride

Cab To The Airport

A successful businessman flew to Vegas for the weekend to gamble. He lost the shirt off his back, and had nothing left but a quarter and the second half of his roundtrip ticket -- If he could just get to the airport he could get himself home.

So he went out to the front of the casino where there was a cab waiting. He got in and explained his situation to the cabbie. He promised to send the driver money from home, he offered him his credit card numbers, his drivers license number, his address, etc. but to no avail.

The cabbie said (adopt appropriate accent), "If you don't have fifteen dollars, get the hell out of my cab!" So the businessman was forced to hitch hike to the airport and barely caught his flight.

One year later the businessman, having worked long and hard to regain his financial success, returned to Vegas and this time he won big. Feeling pretty good about himself, he went out to the front of the casino to get a cab ride back to the airport.

Well who should he see out there, at the end of a long line of cabs, but his old buddy who had refused to give him a ride when he was down on his luck.

The businessman thought for a moment about how he could make the guy pay for his lack of charity, and he hit on a plan. The businessman got in the first cab in the line, "How much for a ride to the airport?" he asked.

"Fifteen bucks," came the reply.

"And how much for you and I to get intimate?"

"What?! Get the hell out of my cab."

The businessman got into the back of each cab in the long line and asked the same questions, with the same result.

When he got to his old friend at the back of the line, he got in and asked "How much for a ride to the airport?" The cabbie replied "fifteen bucks." The businessman said "Okay," and off they went.

Then, as they drove slowly past the long line of cabs the businessman gave a big smile and thumbs up sign to each driver.
