The Scientific debate over global warming is over.

It's real.

It's happening now.

It's man-made.

The consequences are catastrophic.

The time for action is now if we want to save the planet we live on.

Let's be clear, Global Warming will not destroy the planet, just ALL LIFE AS WE KNOW IT!

Planet Earth may look just like Mars (not red of course) a lifeless rock in orbit.

USSAmerikan said: "95% of Antarctica has actually been cooling since the late 70's."

Nature magazine cover story:
http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v457/n7228/abs/nature07669.html
the conclusion being:
"the continent-wide average near-surface temperature trend is positive."

It's all natural. Man is part of nature, therefore what man does is also natural.

nazdackster said: "It is getting very difficult to find any scientists who are not on the the AGW gravy train who still believe CO2 is a major cause of warming. "

I would think its getting difficult to find any scientist, at all, who isn't on the AGW bandwagon. Its real, its happening, and any scientist who denies it is risking being thought a fool by his/her peers, at this point.

Which leaves us with poor nazdackster for independent 'critical' thought. Still trying to argue that the world is flat.

Not that the theory is wrong, but your "The Scientific debate over global warming is over." is not how true scientist operate. Any real scientist (those without an agenda) will tell you there are no absolutes in scientific research.
