Your chart does not go back far enough. There were times earlier that were warmer than even today, and no boogey man technology to blame it on.

Can you show me where he said
not to do it through a government program?
Right now America spends $700 billion every year on foreign oil. That's our money going overseas when it could be staying here. We have to stop this.
That's why I support the Pickens Plan. Check out the website at www.pickensplan.com. If you like what you see, please join me as a Pickens Plan supporter.

good question CF. Whether it is done through charities or through a governmental initiative, is after all only an ADMINISTRATIVE decision that only affects HOW you live up to your duty as a christian. It has no bearing on WHAT you have to live up to.

Care to give chapter and verse where Jesus claimed to be God?

John 19:7

7 The Jewish leaders replied, “By our law he ought to die because he called himself the Son of God.”

Nothing worse then a person who calls themselves a Christian, but knows nothing of the Bible.

The national weather service does not have records prior to 1880.

Care to prove your assertion? My bet is you can't.

You seem to be one of those that form opinions based on something you heard on talk radio. A mindless sheeple.

Historical records prove that grapes had been grown in England hundreds of years ago. It is now too cold there. Also, historical records told of Norwegian or Swedish settlers growing crops on the island of Iceland. Today it is also too cold to do so. You don't need acurate weather measuring devices to prove this.

And once again you are shown to not have done your own research and gone by what that retard Rush Limbaugh said.

Can't you people see how stupid it makes you look?

Well, with all the talk of global warming, the countries mentioned may yet produce wine again.

ANyone ever hear of Pineapple Wine?? Check this website out. Their wines are very good. I first tried their pineapple wine in 1984. I took a drive to their winery, and it is a very pleasant place. Worth the trip if you ever go to Hawaii and Maui.

I was mistaken. It was Greenland where vikings grew crops during the medieval warm period.

There is no doubt that there are natural warming and cooling patterns on Earth. The problem we face today is how RAPIDLY it is occuring due to human influence. That is the danger.... to say it has been warmer in the past in regards to the global warming situation is completely meaningless (just like basing morality around the man-made bible ).

Morality is not contingent on religion to exist. Therefore religion only detracts from the purity of morality.
