    So global warming is not a direct result of human activity?

    um
    you asked about a flash light aiming backwards in the hands of a traveler going at the speed of light, if the light would simply pile up in the lens of the flash light. Answer is no.

    as for Rapid Global Climate Shift
    answer is yes, humans are most definitely to blame
    but then again you knew that

    none of the super caldera events show up on the paleoclimate record, nor do they seem to be recorded as serious enough events in the overall climate trend to have caused any significant extinctions. They do effect local systems pretty severely and they have been known to cause a slight and temporary drop in temps but all in all the climate has always returned to its previous condition, Rapid Global Climate Shift however is a long term sever event which is rare in the extreme and as we know it today is unprecedented in the climate record, it is also the cause of what is thus far one of the largest extinction events ever recorded, and building.

    Statistically speaking, I'll be among those unhapy with any carbon tax, should that crap be introduced in Chile.

    If there's a problem with technology polluting the air, then get those rich pigsters update their technology. Don't slap the rest of us with the tax.

    Bizarre thing is that we have a right wing presidente and he's been introducing one tax after another, creten...

    On whose side is he?

    When communists are sceaming "enough with the taxes!"...

    Diego, how have you been. Things going well down there rebuilding after the big quake ?

    hey check out this article where that tobacco and big oil schill Roy Spencer gets blasted for shady science and a BS paper that somehow managed to get published in an off topic journal. Crazy but the editor is so ashamed it slipped past him he's resigning. I wonder if Spencer will get to keep his $10,000 typically paid by the oil and gas giants for any peer reviewed article published that refutes Rapid Global Climate Shift?

    here's a brief clip from the article that makes it pretty clear that the premise of Spencer's paper has already been shot down numerous times. The article also points out that by going to an off topic journal to try and sneak it into publication is simply not the actions worthy of any self respecting scientist. Course I'm pretty sure Spencer was the same guy who wrote for Philip Morris in there efforts to convince people that smoking is good for you.

    Really? Are you really trying to tell us that most of Scandinavia and Europe are hopelessly polluted, compared to the US? It isn't true.

    Nor is your attempt to equate socialist countries with Marxist regimes either accurate or honest....

    Most European and Scandinavian countries are socialist. None of them are Marxist, and none of them are hopelessly polluted.
