Yeah, by one or two degrees. No big deal.

Or longer cooling trends...we've experienced that all year.

That would be called 'cleansing of the gene pool'...if a bear is stupid
enough to ride a slab of ice to his eventual drowning, he has just
contributed to that cleansing.

That's not what science has been saying about it.

We've just heard in this echo that man has caused the increase in
greehouse gases that in turn, are supposed to cause global warming.

Let me ask you: What is the population of Mercury and Venus? Take you
time, this one isn't that hard to figure out.

LOL!

Good advice...you should take it.
