  Mr Schumann, The vast majority of land mass and coincidentally humans reside in the Northern Hemisphere. So obviously the North pole is affected more adversely than the South. "Two thousand scientists, in a hundred countries, engaged in the most elaborate, well organized scientific collaboration in the history of humankind, have produced long-since a consensus that we will face a string of terrible catastrophes unless we act to prepare ourselves and deal with the underlying causes of global warming". AL GORE, speech at National Sierra Club Convention, Sept. 9, 2005 How can you possibly not believe Al Gore? The man who invented the internet and was the inspiration of the movie the love story?

  Suppose the age of the universe was condensed 14 billion years since the Big Bang: Into 14 years for comparison. The Earth has existed for 5 years. It has at times been completely covered with lava, water and ice. Complex creatures developed just 7 months ago. Dinosaurs became extinct only 3 weeks ago Entire existence of humans, depending on theories, the last 3 minutes. Time since the industrial revolution (Modern man) 6 seconds. Humans are not as special as we would like to think. The planet Mother Earth will continue with extreme prejudice towards any given passenger, as required. Just a thought…..

  The environmentalists rely on sleights of hand constantly. Perfect example: the O-zone hole. Remember how every summer we were bombarded with scary data about the o-zone layer and how thin it was getting and if it disappeared, we'd all be cooked from unfiltered UV rays? They broadcast this info in the summer yes? And where did they measure it? Over the south pole mostly, remember? Of course you do. If it's summer here, it is winter there and winter there means almost zero sunlight. Ozone is created by ultraviolet light striking an unstable trioxygen molecule and knocking one of the oxygen atoms loose. Well.....if there's no sunlight, then there's no ultraviolet, so naturally, you're not going to see any ozone being produced at the south pole during our summer. And what exactly constituted a "hole" in the ozone layer? A 5% reduction in density. That was a hole. And for this....data......they wrecked an entire segment of the american chemical industry that produced CFC's. But all you eco-zealots swallowed the lines your handlers fed you without question, without investigation and without any independent thought of your own. Global warming is the same deal.

  Yeah. Lets not fall for that electron theory either. It's only a theory ya know. And don't get me started on "gravity".

  Martin Jackov: Newton's law of universal gravitation is expressed as F = G \frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}\ . I'm still looking for the law of global warming, or even a concise theory. Please provide either.
