  1. First off,. your basisc equation is absoluterly accurate.  "HEAT" is a measurement of the kinetic energy of the molecules (or atoms) in a substance.  The warmer the temperature, the higher the energy.

    That is absolutely true.  Warmer oceans means more energy store IN the oceans, which means stronger hurricanes.  that energy comes from the Sun.

    But as to the link,  that guy is full of it.  Now, the earth DOES go through cycle of warming and cooling, but the cause is NATAURAL, not man-made.  Evidence (including core samples) shows several such warming/cooling cycles have occured over the past several million years.  

    But the cause is NATURAL, not man-made.  What function of man resulted in the last ice-age forming (the planet cooled down)?  What function of man resulted in the last ice age LEAVING (the planet warmed up?)

    in BOTH cases -- NOTHING MAN DID CAUSED IT.  During those times man had only stone tools and skin clothing -- not automobiles and hydrocarbons and CFCs.  

    "Global warming" -- IF there is such a thing -- is caused by the natural cycles of the earth.  We cannot start them, and we cannot stop them.  We can only subsist through them.


  2. Yes, we are killing our planet. And yes, the term "global warming" is a buzzword that is supposed to scare you. Just like 9/11 was designed to scare you.
