The fact that I am sitting In New England frezzing doesn't make me question global warming. What I question is the history of this planet, which has shown temperature fluctuations to both highs and lows. Just think, glaciers extended to Long Island at one time, and then as the glaciers retreated, Bangor, Maine had oceanfront property. Where is Bangor? Presently it is 40 miles from the Atlantic Ocean. It took a lot of global warming to cause the sea to extend as far inland as Bangor. And then was way before we experienced the burning of fossil fuels that we enjoy today.
