This is straight from the “join” page at stopglobalwarming.org [emphasis mine]:

Global warming isn’t opinion. It’s a scientific reality. The science shows that human activity has made enormous impacts to our planet that affect our well-being and survival. We can however begin to make significant repairs to reverse those impacts — but only through immediate action. That’s why we urge you to join us and have your voice counted.

So why is NASA so confused about a plethora of data it has received from an army of robots deployed to see how oceans are reacting to this “crisis?” A really smart guy from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Labortatory, Josh Willis, says that oceans are what really matter when it comes to global warming. And according to the article linked above, 80 percent to 90 percent of global warming involves heating up ocean waters. And the fact is that the oceans have been found to not been warming at all, but instead cooling (a statistically insignificant amount, but still).

With all this confusion about what the oceans — which, remember, scientists say matters most when talking about global warming — Kevin Trenberth of the National Center for Atmospheric Research states:

“I suspect that we’ll able to put this [new information] together with a little bit more perspective and further analysis. But what this does is highlight some of the issues and send people back to the drawing board.”

Wait a second. Kevin Trenberth of the National Center for Atmospheric Research is a scientist. But the scientific debate about global warming is “over.” So why would any scientist need to go back to the drawing board to figure out what’s going on?

In related news, Maryland governor Martin O’Malley is pushing a “green” agenda that will cost Marylanders even more money than the $1.4 billion in tax and 70% power bill increases we’ve just suffered and will possibly drive even more business out of the state. But it’ll make the leftist hippies happy, and I guess that’s all that really matters.
