Wow....so are they saying we should continue to pollute the atmosphere to reverse this? :P JK. Interesting how we do try to fix something and end up messing with something else.

With all due respect, if you check out some of the other threads in this forum you will see that there really is no debate anymore. Those "wackos" now include pretty much all the scientific community. It used to be a theory but it really isn't now. :)

Well now they are changing thier story on how it is warming up. Before it was because the air was to dirty and we have to stop polluting and make the air cleaner to stop it. But now they are saying well the air is to clean now and that is causing it. And that's why I am na now confuusssed. :-?
