From a Times Online article:
"The debate about whether there is a global warming signal now is over, at least for rational people," said Tim Barnett, of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla, California. "The models got it right. If a politician stands up and says the uncertainty is too great to believe these models, that is no longer tenable."
Big oil has of course been changing it's story for the last 30 years as more and more scientific data has been collected. Likely so they could migrate their investments into renewable sources of energy and beat us hippies to the punch.

Regardlessly there couldn't be more scientific proof that global warming is real and caused by greenhouse gases that we emit. But there are crazies in this world who debate the validity of science itself. And call it religious... and it is a faith based occupation of human beings. This act of empirically looking at things to come to rational conclusions.

Ugh, just humouring these notions makes me seriously ill. But yeah if some neo-con nerd argues that global warming is natural then mention this study. Or the numerous studies that correlate tree growth to temperature and pollution. They will of course move on to debating the validity of science. Perhaps while driving their combustion engine or using their micro-processor powered computer.
