Can anyone tell me what global warming is all about?

At a meeting of the 34-nation Inter-American Commission on Human Rights:

Sheila Watt-Cloutier, an Inuit activist, said the well-being of her people is under threat -- and that the need for air conditioning is just one example of the spread of global warming.

Climate change is "destroying our right to life, health, property and means of subsistence," she said. "States that do not recognize these impacts and take action violate our human rights."

In a petition, the group asked the commission's assistance "in obtaining relief" from the impact of global warming, and makes specific reference to the United States as the country most responsible for the phenomenon.

Socking the American taxpayer. That's what global warming is all about, Charlie Brown.

There's been a lot of play of this story today. This is a good reason to run from those who crush scientific dissent while hammering scientific consensus. Instapundit linked this explanation by fellow Tennessean Bob Krumm, sounds logical!

All this talk of Mars makes me think of the tunnels they found there.
