I think the most important cause of global warming is the sun.

With the FSF a close second? 

Have you contacted Al Gore about this revelation? The truth that it's the sun's fault and there's nothing government can do about it might prove somewhat uncomfortable.

You call this hot? Pfff.... :P

 
If anything good comes out of global warming, it'll be that in a few years Dancing On Ice won't be on the fecking telly.

My thought is that the most likely cause of the multiple previous periods of global warming and cooling(ice ages), that our orb has experienced through-out history and prehistory, were most likely the result of variations in received radiant energy from el Sol. Consider that the Medieval warming was much warmer than it ever got during the last decade of the previous millennium, with much lower atmospheric CO2 levels. Greenland appeared verdant to the Norse boatmen who traversed the North Atlantic, unimpeded by icebergs.

It turns out THC is to blame.

Abstract

We present paleoclimate evidence for rapid (<100 years) shifts of ∼2–4 °C in Chesapeake Bay (CB) temperature ∼2100, 1600, 950, 650, 400 and 150 years before present (years BP) reconstructed from magnesium/calcium (Mg/Ca) paleothermometry. These include large temperature excursions during the Little Ice Age (∼1400–1900 AD) and the Medieval Warm Period (∼800–1300 AD) possibly related to changes in the strength of North Atlantic thermohaline circulation (THC).

Too many people smoking it?

They could spend billions and billions of dollars on a giant space umbrella.
