Duh

I saw this article on the msnbc.com website this morning and had to laugh. The article speaks of a study that confirms that global warming is happening. This is how bad it's gotten with the denialists, despite all the evidence that has been amassed over the years that detail the warming globe and subsequent climate change caused by human activity. Now they have to sponsor a study to see if global warming is real and can be attributed by man. We've done this before, we are constantly getting new information on how our activities are changing the global climate. Why are we wasting time doing a study that confirms what has already been confirmed. Will the skeptics be appeased by this? I doubt it. I could be wrong, but I highly doubt it. The science is there. The proof is in the pudding. When will the denialists own up to the truth?

One nice thing that the article points out is the study showed how one area can seem to be cooling while other areas can be warming. Cooler trends encourage people to deny global warming, but the study showed that the areas of the world that were warming more than made up for the fact that some areas were cooler. The average temperature for the globe has once again been shown to be on the rise from the records dating back several decades. So let's stop wasting our time confirming what we already know and put our funds and efforts into developing solutions to the problem we have created. No more committees to determine if we need a committee. Just do it already!
