Global Warming skeptics have a new Holy Grail it seems.
So riddle me this Batman, how do a few e-mails that were delivered to you by dishonest people "prove" anything? Why does a few comments about certain research "prove" dishonesty and cohersion? To makes matters even worse you completly ignore a high-school science project that happens right in front of your eyes that backs up the theory. You need to watch the movie "How to make enemies and alientate poeple." because that's what you've done to me.
I've always been hesitant to say whether or not the global climate is warming or cooling. The reason being that our climate is so ridiculously complex that taking research in a few areas and applying to the world as a whole just seems to be a flawed process right from the begining. But there are many indicators that human polution is having a dangerous effect. An effect we can no longer ignore and our oceans are the signpost. I believe that changes in our oceans brought about by polution are going to fuel the climate change that we are all going to have to deal with so to blatently ignore such concrete evidence RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU is idiotic at best.
Here is some more high school science for you. The wind patterns that blow around the Earth are caused by differentials in temperature. Those differentials are actually created by the sun's energy hitting the Earth unevely. The equator gets most of the energy and because of the curvature of the Earth the poles get the least. This movement of air is also circular-ish and constantly rotates from our equator to our poles and back again. These winds are actually what moves our oceans. Our oceans are also unevely heated by the sun in the same way our air is. However, our oceans are capable of aborsbing and retaining a lot more energy than our atmosphere so it actually our oceans that determine our climates on land. That's why its 20-30 degree warmer in Norway than it is Alaska which is the same distance from the Artic Circle. That's also why waters of the coast of California are 20 something degrees colder than the waters of the coast of Virginia. Our oceans move in the same cyclical patterns and as the warmer water moves northward the colder water from below actually rises to surface to be warmed by the sun. This is called upwelling and it creates some mondo surf dude! But it also creates big problems because the colder ocean water actually cools the air above it before it gets fully warmed by the sun. This is where we get storm systems.
Now if you throw off the balance of our oceans by introducing Carbon Dioxide those tempuratures are going to get farther and farther apart from warm on the surface to cold at the bottom. The more energy you strip from the air the greater the potential for damaging storms. In October of this year an unseasonbly early tyhpoon hit Japan that was so strong its remnants hit my home of San Jose California. In a month where we usually get .5" of rain we got 5" in three days. Get where I'm going with this yet?
Look science isn't perfect, that's why it is always changing and that can get confusing and rather frustrating. But in the end we can not loose sight of the bigger picture. We are damaging our climate and our wildlife and ultimately ourselves. if we don't do something now we may not have a "Day After Tomorrow" because we won't be here.

You can't reason with these people. They'll always find the Glenn Becks of the world to shout their ridiculous opinions louder than ours. We simply have to tune them out.
