Hasn't the average global temperature been static, or even declining slightly, for the past decade or so? I remember reading that somewhere.

Regardless, it's better to get pollutants out of the air, whether global warming is real or not.

CO2 isn't a pollutant. Water vapor is a bigger "pollutant". CO2 only makes up .038% of the atmosphere.

1. Using the most reliable temperature data (1880-present) for mean global temperatures, the 20 warmest years were 1983, 1987, 1988,  1990, 1991, and 1994-2008. 2005 was the warmest. If this question is cherry picking 1998 and asking why that's the 2nd warmest year, that's retarded.

These are the same people that said we were headed for an ice age in the 1970s.

To even suggest that the news fad of "ice age coming soon" in the 1970's reached even a fraction of the level of scientific consensus that global warming has today is more than just laughable.

32,000 Scientists disagree with you.

Sunspots and flares. Really, is it that hard?

Because I don't believe the lies of filthy environazis who are attempting a power grab.

1.  Have "environazis" completely taken over the climatology field?  If so, that's amazing.
2.  Explain to me how this "power grab" will work, because it seems pretty far-fetched.

Ever heard of the Energy bill just passed by the house?

However, on this thread I (we?) are arguing with people like States who entirely deny the existence of climate change altogether.

Man made change, yes. And who cares if the earth "heats up" a little bit, which it hasn't actually done for 11 years. The earth has been MUCH warmer then it is now and humanity thrived. So quite pushing an agenda and costing Americans money...oh that's right...you're attitude is "Let them eat cake".
