This century is the hottest in the past ten centuries, 1999 through 2004 were still among the 10 hottest years on record, and 2005 was the hottest year on record, according to NASA, and 2006 is

Since most agree the earth has been warming(with some reversals) over the past several thousands of years and our world climatological records are limited to much less than a century your contention is just sort of ridiculous!

the rise in global temperatures starting rising dramatically about 100 years ago. How about that.

...Hey we didn't have the capability to measure global temps even 50 years ago! Who had the technology to measure world/global temperatures in past centuries? Ask your experts...What was the yearly average temp in Indonesia 50 years ago? How about the average temperature in Samoa 200 years ago? How about the temperatures in the North Atlantic 50 years ago?
Few deny that the earth is currently on a warming trend but to hypothesize that we are doomed because 2005 was the hottest year in a world that has only been measuring ocean and land temperature accurately in the past few years is lunacy.
Which gets me to to the ozone layer! There is another good one. We haven't had the wherewithall to appraise the ozone layer until very recently..ergo. We don't know what it has done in the past ..It's strictly conjectural theory. No proof. And yet opportunists like Gore predict doom without sensible proof and the ignorant fall into line.
Then the opportunists tie in the issue of human generated emissions as a causal factor in world climate fluctuations and there is no proof of this either. I cite the example of human caused emissions growing and yet the global temps are static for several years? This doesn't phase the believers..its just an anomaly they say..balderdash and nonsense. Prove it I say...I agree the earth has been getting generally warmer since the last Ice Age but It is a slow process and humans aint the cause! I'm a skeptic! You haven't squashed this doubter.
