Check this out: If global warming didn't exist, we wouldn't be having 80ºF + temperatures here in Texas this Winter. It just couldn't be possible. Therefore, global warming necessarily is occurring.

The two problems with your argument are: confusing weather with climate, and confusing Canada with the world. What temperatures in Canada do over one Winter or one year has little effect on the long term trend.
I don't confuse weather with climate, the two are connected to the hip in relation.

And yet you don't see your hypocracy in your own logic. You first give me an example of Texas warming up and claim therefore "It Must Be Global Warming" ~ Yet right afterwards, you tell me my example of Canada is not the rest of the world therefore it can't be related globally..... so exactly how can you contradict yourself like this without even realizing it?

I mean if you really want to nit pick, Texas is one State, Canada being the second largest country in the world next to Russia and affected from coast to coast, which is one entire country being effected..... I think the larger example outweighs the smaller example... but this is not the point I am trying to make.

What is happening in Texas warming up, and also Canada cooling down is called Climate Change Not Global Warming.

Looking at the average global temperatures over the past three decades, it is quite obvious that there is a definite warming trend.

yeah in the last 30 years..... what about 80 years ago? What about 150 years ago? What about 1000 years ago?

You guys all freak and worry about humans polluting and killing the planet and thus in turn, killing ourselves..... but we are only burning exactly what the earth has created and what has been in the atmosphere for eons.

Back in the creation of the Earth, it was all volcanic and I imagine the entire atmosphere was blacked out and life wasn't very promising.... but life continues on, life evolves, and it has always been about the survival of the fittest.

I'm not disputing that there's going to be major flooding, major changes of heat and cold across the planet.... I'm just saying this whole Global Warming marketing scam is BS and Al Gore is a hypocrite by his own actions as he preaches. They all know it's climate change and it's going to happen. They know that the level of pollution we have created is only going to speed up what is already coming out way.... but they put a spin on it so that it opens up a bigger market of making our society more healthy.

And who can argue with that? If he and the rest of the scientific community were honest about their wishes in the first place, I would have followed along.... but they blew it into something else and fear mongered the entire world that it's all our fault and we're gonna be screwed unless we do what they say now, and buy into all kinds of their new ideas and inventions. They've been saying it for decades now, they'll keep saying it..... it's their job.
