If Global Warming didn't exist, would man have to invent it?
What are you talking about, they did invent it. Specifically, the liberal freaks created Global Warming as a means of control and ultimately to destroy the US economy. Consider the billions we have already wasted on this liberal hoax.

Well, there is Global Warming and then there is the theory of Anthropogenic Global Warming, where man is the responsible party. I think the problem with the AGW people is that they can't seem to hold a coherent argument. What's more from the infamous Hockey Stick Graph to the e-mail scandal that showed leading British researchers were hiding or masking data that did not meet conclusions that were evidently predetermined, there seems to be both an agenda and a desire to make shortcuts. A serious credibility gap.
What's more, every single winter that's warmer than normal is a sign of global warming and every winter that's cooler than normal is a sign of global warming. Since ice levels in the Arctic Ocean have declined to levels not seen since the early 20th Century, that's a sign of global warming. Since the ice sheets in the oceans around Antarctica are increasing dramatically, that's a sign of global warming. Heck, even hurricane Sandy hitting New York is a sign of global warming, even though it was only a Category 1 and we've actually not had a hurricane more powerful than a Category 3 hit the United States since 2005. Global warming is endangering polar bears, but the Canadian wildlife service reports polar bear populations at a record high. Will somebody please offer up a consistent argument that actually links higher global temperatures to mankind? I mean, according to planetologists, Mars has higher temperatures than it did a few decades ago. Does that mean our handful of probes make mankind responsible for warming there, too?
In short, I have an open mind to global warming. After all, we know that the planet was certainly a couple of degrees warmer around 100 AD than it is today. We also know that the planet was considerably warmer in 1000 AD than it was today. After all, there is archeological evidence of farming and herding among Viking colonists of Greenland from that time where it would absolutely impossible today.
But what I don't have patience for is a bunch of shrill rhetoric whipped up by the press. Despite what the press likes to say, there is a considerable body among climatologists who don't believe in AGW -- and they're not paid shills of the fossil fuels industry, either.

Sounds like global cooling to me.
Everybody pancake!
