Hi Billy,

   You misunderstood the point I was making.  I never said there was no correlation, clearly when one views the plots of temp & CO2 against time in years there is some type of correlation.   But that's not proof, it's 2 lines on a graph, that move in step.

  What I'm maintaining is that the *signal* being plotted on those charts is *swamped* by the noise.  It's like hearing voices in the static.  Remember H2O -- IS THE MOST POTENT GHG, BY A FACTOR OF 200 OR MORE.

  When daily temperature variations are so much larger than the signal being measured, the analysis comes under question!  Just because a questionable analysis says "the sky is falling", I'm not going to panic!  I want to see a piece of the sky.

  Look, maybe the temp has risen in 150 years... I still say so what.  Show me a map of the ancient world with a snow free Greenland, and coastlines pushed inland by the 20-40 ft of elevation the alarmists are claiming...

  As far as the pattern being cyclical and me providing data, I don't have to, because I don't care if the temp goes up or down by 5, 10, 20 degrees C ... it has happened it before, it will happen again people or not!

  That said, I do want to conserve fossil fuels, they are a dwindling resource, and we're wasting them.  Solar can and will be cheaper, more sustainable, and -- less damaging/disruptive to the environment --  See I acknowledge that aspect. 

  See, I only object to the religion of "Global Warming" ( capital G, capital W),  I'm with you 100% on not damaging the environment any more than necessary.  Furthermore, people do bury their heads in the sand, we're in agreement on that one too. 

  Having ones vote count...  I live in CT (deep blue) and no I didn't vote for 'W' either time... I didn't vote for 'unca Al' either... So not being counted is a fact of life.

  We can make a difference, but only if we wake up, take our heads out of the sand and commit to solar energy on a massive scale.  I'd like to ask you(or anyone that is serious) for binding commitment letters for 1000 units per month.  At that rate we can make a dent in a decade or so... anything less,  is simply going for the ride on the snow-ball express.  Whaddya say?
