Global warming is a hoax

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

So is global warming actually a hoax?
This website seems to think so.
http://www.globalwarminghoax.com/news.php

And of course we have the counter point here

Now technically, Global warming is the increase in the average measured temperature of the Earth's near-surface air and oceans since the mid-20th century, and its projected continuation.
But is anything besides the debate actually heating up?
The EPA runs a climate change website
http://www.epa.gov/climatechange/

"On Feb. 2, 2007, the United Nations scientific panel studying climate change declared that the evidence of a warming trend is "unequivocal," and that human activity has "very likely" been the driving force in that change over the last 50 years."

ABC seems to be fairly even handed, although to me they seem to be leaning more towards myth.

The "company line" seems to be that Global Warming is indeed real.
But in the online world, the opinion seems to be fairly evenly split.
Of course both sides call the other "crazy" for not believing the way they do.
That's pretty much standard.

So as always it's up to YOU to do the research and decide.

New Phoenix lights, hoax or real? Or Disinformation?

Unusual red lights that hovered over Phoenix on Monday night captured the attention of Arizonans and reprised an infamous UFO siting in 1997.
Alas, it turns out it was just a nocturnal prank, according to local media:

On Monday, April 21, 2008, odd red lights appeared in the sky over Phoenix, Arizona. Video and photos were taken and Air Traffic Controllers in the main tower at Sky Harbor International Airport saw them. The FFA says that the lights did not appear on radar and weren't a threat to any air traffic, so no action was taken. However, the FAA has issued a statement saying that they will not allow the Air Traffic Controllers to talk about what they saw:
