HERE are the 100 reasons, released in a dossier issued by the European Foundation, why climate change is natural and not man-made:
1) There is “no real scientific proof” that the current warming is caused by the rise of greenhouse gases from man’s activity.
2) Man-made carbon dioxide emissions throughout human history constitute less than 0.00022 percent of the total naturally emitted from the mantle of the earth during geological history...

Those two are really enough, if you need more read away.

Welcome to Hell...

DENVER May 13, 2006 (AP)— Convicted Sept. 11 conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui began serving his life sentence at the nation's most secure prison on Saturday after U.S. marshals flew him overnight to southern Colorado from Virginia.

Marshals brought Moussaoui, prisoner 51427-054, before dawn to the Supermax federal prison, where he will spend 23 hours a day in his cell and have little to no contact with the other notorious criminals.

"He has now begun serving his sentence of life without the possibility of release," the U.S. Marshals Service said in a statement.

Moussaoui was the only prisoner aboard the small jet operated by the agency as he flew with a special team of deputy marshals to Florence, Colo., about 90 miles southwest of Denver.

"All the inmates transferred there are handled with the highest level of security," said Ken Deal, chief deputy U.S. marshal in Denver.

Deal said he did not know whether the 37-year-old Frenchman made any statements during the transfer.

Moussaoui arrived at 5:17 a.m. EDT, the Federal Bureau of Prisons said in a statement. Prison spokesman Todd Javernick refused to say whether Moussaoui made any comments...
Volcano...

JAKARTA, Indonesia (CNN) -- More than 20,000 people will need to be evacuated to crowded shelters, one filled to three times its capacity, as experts predicted a massive eruption from one of Indonesia's most dangerous volcanoes.

Mount Merapi has been rumbling for about a month, but an increase in lava flow in the past day has triggered concerns that a nasty eruption could be imminent.

Indonesian authorities ordered the evacuation of thousands of residents near Merapi on Saturday, and the United Nations is predicting that as many as 80,000 people could be displaced by an eruption, depending on which way the lava flows.

"What the officials are saying is that we're going to have a larger eruption than what we're seeing right at the moment," volcanologist Catherine Hickson of Thompson Rivers University in Canada said.

"We call them Merapian-style eruptions because essentially we have a dome that forms and we create these hot pyroclastic flows which kill people. So we actually name a style after this because it is so frequent."

A pyroclastic flow is an avalanche of hot ash, pumice, rock fragments and volcanic gas that can rush down the side of a volcano at a hundred miles per hour.

"Anyone or animal that is caught in its path is immediately, essentially incinerated," she said...
