Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Maggie Fox of Reuters says we are all doomed because of global warming and its the US's fault:

Even if people stopped pumping out carbon dioxide and other pollutants tomorrow, global warming would still get worse, two teams of researchers say.

Sea levels will rise more, worsening the damage caused by extreme high tides and storm surges, and droughts, heat waves and storms will become more severe, the climate experts predicted Thursday.

That makes immediate action to slow global warming even more vital, the teams at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado report in the journal Science.

"Even if we stabilize greenhouse gas concentrations, the climate will continue to warm, and there will be proportionately even more sea level rise," said the NCAR's Gerald Meehl, who led one of the two studies.

"The longer we wait, the more climate change we are committed to in the future."

Virtually no one disagrees human activity is fueling global warming, and a global treaty signed in Kyoto, Japan, aims to reduce polluting emissions. But the world's biggest polluter, the United States, has withdrawn from the 1997 treaty, saying its provisions would hurt the U.S. economy.

Meehl's team ran two computer simulations of climate change — complex programs, he said, that took months to run on supercomputers.

Actually there are many scientest who challenge the theory that global warming is caused by human activity. There is considerable evidence that the earth was actually warmer during the middle ages than is forcast now. This was well before humans were burning petroleum. Then there is the little problem that Fox and all her chicken little scientist sources cannot explain. Mars and other planets in our solar system are also getting warmer, despite not producing any greenhouse gases. Could it be that the earth is getting warmer because of that big ball of fire we see during the daylight hours everyday, i.e. the sun.
