I'm with ASEI and Alaskan that we aren't the cause. We have actual written records for about 150 years on enviromental and weather data. Of that only the last few decades, using computerization, have we gathered truly comprehensive data. We only recently discovered things like el nino and la nina, and the mechanisms that control them (we think), and we're supposed to believe that we already know all there is to know about the climate?

My opinion is that this is a part of a natural, cyclic process that goes from hot to cold and back of tens of thousands of years. The last ice age wasn't the first. For the last few million years we've had minor ice ages every 40,000 to 100,000 years. We are 10,000 years past the last ice age. It is very possible that the world is getting warmer only because its a part of the natural cycle, and we still have about 10,000 more years of warming until the cycle turns back to cooling.

Incidentally, based on the current climate models, Texas is supposed to become wetter with a milder, but more tropical climate. Sounds good to me!
