Dow 36,000 tries pulling a snow job on the weather. He shouldn't have bothered; everyone on this subject from the Inventor of the Web to BIGOIL's superfriends does it. By the best estimates the earth's been around for billions of years, and we're figuring out global warming using measurements from the past 100 years, maybe the last thirty of which are reliable, and we fill in the huge gaps with techniques like drilling into the Antarctic ice, which may themselves tell a small fraction of the story. Heck we still don't know what caused the mass extinction of dinosaurs -- 250 million (?) years ago, and we're sure of global warming?
