I do not doubt that the earth goes through warming cycles and cooling cycles. I also do not think you can take such a short period of time and predict a trend. While to humans 40 or 50 years seems like a long time but in the history of the world that is just a blink in time. Should we reduce our pollution? Sure I think we should. Should we set our civilization back 100 years by completely eliminating fossil fuels? I think not. Technology is not completely there yet to replace our current energy sources and in my opinion we shouldn’t scale back progress waiting for technology in alternative energies to catch up. I don’t think it is a completely legitimate argument to make to say because some birds have moved their wintering grounds 40 miles north that it proves global warming. Here is one for you explain moose to me? The moose has expanded south as a kid growing up in New England I never saw moose they were only in the far north regions of Maine and New Hampshire. . Forty some years latter you have moose in Massachusetts and I believe Connecticut as well. Using the same logic they used for the study I guess we can assume that Global Cooling is taking place. I don’t doubt we could be in a global warming cycle but I don’t buy the dire consequences Al Gore and his group of kooks put forth. -Moose- Rick

I did read your feeling on the subject but, how can you explain the ever so warming season changes and the changes in animal movement that I at least have realized. In my opinion I believe in global warming basically for the fact of what I have been witnessing the past couple of years as well as what I have read. I feel that we as humans have taken earth and our environment for granted and now are kids and their kids are going to have to pay for that. Again, this is only my opinion and I do thank you for sharing your as well. Moose, this is a good post and it does open up some conversation to say the least.
