Where is the global warming???

The questions we need answers to are how responsible is mankind for the warming? How long will it take to warm up? How hot will it get? Will the process spring nasty little surprises on us at it happens? What other changes will global warming cause, or contribute to and why? Should we just lay back and ignore it, or try to do something about it? Can we do something about it, and if so, at what cost?

Just a few of the questions we need answers to.

Ok we have had reliable ways to measure tempature for how long?? ill give you 300 years...not sure not to concerned to look it up...so thats 300 years out of the how many million the earth has been spinning??? so you have less then .00000000001% of the data exactly what does it tell you? that would be like me going outside during a heat wave in the summer at 6am to take the temp. and telling everyone that was the days high it just doesnt make sense...

There are many methods to extract temperature information going back millions of years. Heck, even the people that disagree that there is global warming will use those records to try and demonstrate that its so.
