Prosecutions Coming for Global Warming Deniers?

They sure do look good, but looks can be deceiving.  So in fantasy land, one disproves things simply by the way they look?

The hysterical prediction:  Ice will be gone by this summer in the Arctic.
The reality:  Still plenty of ice.  What better way to confirm (for laymen) that ice is still there than with a picture?

Just admit that this prediction was overblown scaremongering and let's move on.

Hey anybody remember the ozone hole that al gore predicted in 92?

[BridgeTroll]

I have to agree with you on this one.

What ever happened to good old Acid Rain?  That was the "we're all goona die" marching orders when I was in school.

Memories......

(ps, to civil and whitey:  what I think you boys are reaching for is the brief theory of 'global cooling')

I wasn't reaching for anything, just remembering my youthful days in school.  I specifically remember "acid rain" as one of the things that more than one teacher tried to drill into our heads.  These days I never hear about it.

You cite that coal energy plants were a main cause of "acid rain", yet today there are many many more coal plants than there were in the past.  Hell China was openning one new coal plant per week or so earlier this year. 
How does that not bring "acid rain" back to forefront these days?

Yes, I am too lazy on a Sunday afternoon to do my own research.

At this moment, 100+ degrees in Austin in the shade,  I don't care it's HOT.
