That pesky global warming

Good times at the recent American Meteorological Society's 27th Conference on Hurricanes and Tropical Meteorology. As it turns out, global warming is causing more hurricanes. While this isn't entirely different than saying colder weather causes temperatures to fall, the real debate, of course, comes in what is causing the global warming. Is it increased greenhouse gases or just a natural cycle in the Earth's temperature?

I'm not convinced either side has made a convincing argument. I have to admit, though, that it seems like every time someone wants to engage me on this issue, they are of the (usually quite strong) opinion that greenhouse gases are the guilty culprit. I make it a personal goal of mine to steer the debate such that I'll admit greenhouse gases might be playing an important role in global warming if they'll admit that greenhouse gases might not be playing any role at all. (Well, either that or bringing up the fact that a good segment of the world isn't dreading global warming at all.)

Try it yourself-- it's harder than you'd think!

I usually focus on the "no global warming - no industry" angle, given the truth of the human-made global warming premis. If environmentalists should understand one thing, it's tradeoffs.

Seeing your beautiful post, I'm glad to be not alone in this. There's something poetic about the way like you redact the information, isn't?

It's my job to concentrate on the actual "no worldwide heating -- absolutely no industry" position, provided the facts from the human-made worldwide heating premis. In the event that environmentalists ought to realize something, it is tradeoffs.
