Following Al Gore's global warming speech on one of the coldest days of the year, "scientists" are going out of their way to lend credence to the wacky theory. First they claimed that North America and Europe would actually get colder as the global warming worsens. Now take a look at what Britians top government scientists are claiming.

Britain is likely to be plunged into an ice age within our lifetime by global warming, new research suggests.

That's right, we're supposed to believe that global warming will cause an ice age. Are they serious?

A study, which is being taken seriously by top government scientists, has uncovered a change "of remarkable amplitude" in the circulation of the waters of the North Atlantic.

Apparently so. And the theory is so ludicrous that they have to emphasise that it is being "taken seriously".

A report by the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme in Sweden - launched by Nobel prize-winner Professor Paul Crutzen and other top scientists - warned last week that pollution threatened to "trigger changes with catastrophic consequences" like these.

I see. By using a spray deoderant or refusing to recycle, you are destroying the Earth. That gas guzzling SUV you're driving around could be the end of the world as we know it. By the way, don't forget that PLO terrorist Yassir Arafat is also a Nobel prize-winner.

To bolster their claim, the "scientists" claim that the global warming trend "has accelerated since 1990, during which time the 10 hottest years on record have occurred." Of course what they don't mention is that they've only been keeping records since 1860. On the scale of climate changes and ice ages, 140 years is nothing. Plus they don't seem to factor in any measurement error from using 140 year old technology.

Even if they can prove that 10 of the last 140 years are the hottest on record, is that really enough evidence to justify the freedom grabbing?
