No just the Trumopeteers. Hope PA will pass out fire extinguishers.

Here is the answer to your obvious question. I read it's hot... guess all that burning we do might play some role...

Why should fire extinguishers be passed out at all?

Did the 'concerned' pass out leg warmers when the kooks on the left predicted and warned us about the absolute Global Cooling threat?

When the smoke clears, it will turn to be just Billy Boy Clinton in the coat room with young campaign worker.

I suspect he could well choke to death on the dem's man-made smoke before he finishes anything.

You're wasting my time with your drivel. The link doesn't tell me if fire is a natural or man-made element. The fact that you have to consult the web, in the first place, for a lame attempt at coming up with an answer, is very telling.

Ever hear of lightning? Ever hear of molten lava?

Yeah...like earth, wind and water discovered man?

But of course, you are correct that fire is a natural element, which is the logical inference from your post.

He can:

"We are close to the tipping point where global warming becomes irreversible. Trump's action could push Earth over the brink, to become like Venus, with a temperature of two hundred and fifty degrees, and raining sulphuric acid," Hawking, a renowned cosmologist and author of A Brief History of Time, told BBC News in an interview on Sunday.

The guy is certifiable nuts.

Scientific American says that man-made pollution is cooling the climate.

Comparisons between Mars and Earth are pointless.

Answering a question with a unrelated question isn't a way to make a point.
Rhetorical questions are used to make a point. The obvious answer to my question is that there are no beings causing Mars to warm up. NASA states that Mars' surface air temperature has increased 1 degree in 20 years. But NASA scientists only have theories as to why. If a feedback loop does exist where increased temps cause dust devils which change the surface, causing it to absorb more heat, which causes more harsh weather, which changes the surface more, then what caused the dust storms in the first place?

The situation on Mars seems, at least to me, analogous to warming periods on Earth involving higher co2 levels. The oceans warm up, they release more co2 which causes warmer temps, which causes more co2 to be released and so on.

It's a chicken and egg question. In each case, what comes first, the warmer temperatures or the dust storms and co2? "If" the Earth has warmed up during this period which coincides with that of Mars, then perhaps it is due to what we have in common, fluctuations of the Sun.
