The Tropic North Pole

Those who blame mankind for global warming are doubling themselves up to explain this:

Global climate change is a fact. Our planet has undergone dramatic warming and cooling periods for millions of years. Any grade school student in the Upper Midwest is aware of the effect that glaciation and subsequent melting of glaciers had in shaping our landscape. What is not established is any conclusive link between human activity and climate change. Unfortunately the "global warming scientists" have become too political to be trusted. Two stories in today's news illustrate the point.

Researchers have found that millions of years ago the North Pole area had an average temperature of 74 degrees. Deep core samples brought up evidence of tropical life near the Pole. This obviously occured without any human activities like burning fossil fuels. The researchers conclusion is amusing. The article warns that the findings "suggest that scientists have greatly underestimated the power of greenhouse gases to warm the Arctic." This is an absurd conclusion. If the pole warmed to tropical temperatures in the past without the presence of people, how can you conclude that this means it is more likely that human activity can be blamed for this happening again in the future?

The second article is even better. The presence of huge amounts of buried organic material and plants embedded in the ancient sediments of the Arctic Ocean suggest the presence of VAST OIL DEPOSITS. Here is the good part: "Several researchers said they were reluctant to focus on that aspect of the work, saying it would be unfortunate if their climate studies prompted new oil exploration that could liberate more greenhouse gases."
