Feminist, activist and 'Vagina Monologues' creator, Eve Ensler, took a swipe at Sarah Palin for not believing in manmade global warming. The evidence for global warming can be seen by looking no further than at "earthquakes and tsunamis":

i cant stand these freakin people! Washington DC has been hit with one of the worst snowfalls ever, and its been the coldest winter her in Seoul for quite some time. These fools are either getting paid by special interest groups like Gore or are moronic sheep following the libs to the slaughter. either way is repulsive and they need to be slapped

Second poster, I do hope you are trolling. I assume you have a university degree. The Channel 4 News report is no place to find scientific evidence for --the phrase is-- Climate Change.

Some places will warm, some will cool: the overall trend is slightly, statistically, and consistently moving toward a sum gain in temperature.

But then, Fox may have a more accurate weather report that discredits evolution as well. No--that would be the dictionary. By opening the dictionary, it is clear that species are separate and distinct. Their essential forms are mutually exclusive. It's obvious. I've never SEEN a monkey give birth to a man. And I've SEEN that they are getting a hell of a snow storm in DC. It's all in perspective, see. . .

Earthquakes? Sounds strange. .

Personally, I do tend to side with the evidence that supports man-influenced climate change. However, I do not understand how it could affect plate tectonics. (You know, the ongoing shifting of the earth's crust which causes earthquakes). As much as they suck, earthquakes are a necessary side-effect of the geological shifts which made earth able to sustain life.

I don't think Eve Ensler, though a talented writer and overall intelligent person, is someone I would look towards for science-related information.

PS. I apologize to any geologists out there if I sound too pedantic.

Where did Gatsby's post go? He provided some science basically backing-up what Blackjack said above. I didn't have time to reply, but concluded from that information that there is a limited, potential danger of melting glaciers causing earthquakes, but there's no evidence at all that the earthquakes in Haiti and the Indian Ocean (which Eve Ensler had in mind) were caused by climate change. Clearly, she thinks that the Tsunami and the Haiti earthquake were caused by events in the atmosphere - a sad though perhaps unsurprising commentary on how feminism is to the mind what water is to fire.

It might be fair to say the science of climatology isn't an exact one. I'll take what those boys say with a grain a salt.

Seems like they've been screwing their global warming models up, resulting in punters being a bit skeptical about the credibility of their findings.

Hell, most of the time they can't even tell us accurately what the weather is going to be in a few days time.

Anyone who believes in Anthroprogenic climate change is a total idiot or a lier. There were glaciers all the way down to New Mexico 10,000 yrs ago, then they receeded, now because they are still receeding (eidence is questionalble but I'll give it to ya) we are causeing it, what about the previous 95% reduction where Native Americans burning fossle fuels; also why the need to be TAXED out the arse to stop it??? The planet heats and cools naturally, it always has and always will, and we have very very little effect on that. Al Gore and people like that are gonna rape u and yours, they don't care about taxex cause they can afford them. Man the Sheeple LOVE gettin sheared.

This is you bein sheared by the powers that be, notice the love.

There is a section of the globe below the equator. It's called the southern hemisphere, where right now, it's summer, & temperatures are way above average in Brazil (over 40c in Rio), Australia (5 days over 40 in several regions), South Africa etc. You cannot say there is global warming or cooling, without first looking at the ENTIRE globe, & taking an average over several years. And ensuring the figures haven't been tampered with.

I'm not yet convinced of AGW, but the trends indicate some naturally occuring warming, over the past 40 years.

The incidence of earthquakes cannot be linked to gw at this stage.

There were glaciers 10,000 years ago. This scientific discovery we can admit, for it does not affect my taxes.

My beliefs are directly linked to my pocketbook.
