			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Copenhagen talks have been in the news the last couple of weeks.  The President just today announced a nonbinding agreement between various governments  to pursue measures designed to mitigate rising global temperatures.</p>
<p>I am probably the least knowledgeable person on this issue in the world and I truly have no real stance.  All I know is that a bunch of people say that human-induced global warming is fact, while others say that the jury is still out.  It&#8217;s pretty hard for someone to have a confident opinion in such a climate.</p>
<p>One thing I am pretty confident in, however, is that temperatures have fluctuated dramatically throughout Earth&#8217;s history &#8211; long before the alleged drivers of human-induced global warming existed.  I think this video sums it up pretty nicely for anybody who&#8217;s curious:</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="344" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/8mxmo9DskYE&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/8mxmo9DskYE&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>I&#8217;m sure there&#8217;s a scientific reason as to why we should think that our actions are what are driving the current hockey stick.  But I can&#8217;t help but think it would take a pretty persuasive argument in the face of these statistics.</p>
