Really. So what's causing the glaciers to melt? I suppose you're going to tell me that the Earth just
decided to melt it's glaciers. Because you know, the Earth is always making these crazy
decisions.

There you go again. The Earth and it's huge brain is going to make some more decisions. Obviously you're not going to lose any sleep over it because you are comforted in the notion that someone else will deal with it. Or that the Earth will decide to fix it before it gets too uncomfortable. Maybe we should just pray harder. But anyway, who cares if people are suffering in some other part of the world, as long as your air conditioning is running, right?
Since you think that the fear of global warming or climate change is so absurd, maybe you would be willing to shed some light on the
legitimate fears you have that modifying our patterns of behavior with regard to energy consumption is going to cost us so much money. Isn't that the primary fear you have if we allow ourselves to be suckered in by these devious climate scientists and their bogus claims of AGW? Explain how "green" technology is going to send us all to the poor house.
