[quote="Jin-Roh":96b39]Christians always seem to deny Global Warming.[/quote:96b39]
Global Warming is only a theory. In the last 100+ years, the US has maintained the best network of weather stations and the most accurate data on temperatures.
Here is what the
data shows....
- The warmest year of the last century was 1934
- Since 1880, the mean temperature increase is only 1/3 of a degree celsius
- Temperatures have increased slightly in the last 30 years, about 1/2 degree celsius, but actually decreased by the same amount the previous 30 years
- Current temperatures in the US are the same as they were during the 1930s
Personally, I believe that the theory is solid, but there is not overwhelming amounts of data to support it. Also, the amount of time that data has been collected, is negligible when compared to the age of the earth.

We develop as much alternative energy as anyone. Nuclear power, for example. People bitch and moan about that. BTW, there are so many hybrids on the road in Northern VA and DC area, that they had to lift the HOV exemptions for them. I believe that it was something like 1 in 7 cars in the carpool lanes were hybrids.
