Wow. Evan, I think you may be getting a little worked up. I'm at work so I don't have the time to cite my sources but my wife is a geologist so I hear a bunch and am pretty familiar with regard to warming/cooling trends. Our company is also studying increased coastal flooding in the Gulf Coast and as part of the job, I actually read a good deal of studies on flooding/climatology. Though I agree that the "effects" of global warming to human civilization is up for debate, the earth is warming, sea levels are rising and there are real consequences.
On a more personal note: Evan, you dish it out pretty harshly in innumerable threads so criticism of your points should be accepted without cries of slander. I'm not taking this discussion personally at all, nor should you.
Lastly, I was commenting on the relationship you see with regard to the press pushing this "global warming" story line for the sake of electing Democrats and helping AL Gore run in '08. Talk about baseless conjecture. There wasn't any data points in that argument.
