We have the curly ones throughout our house - my brother-in-law imports and distributes them through NZ.

Is the landlord receptive to a wiring fix? It should fall under house maintenance, after all.

No, just pointing out that having actually talked to people who work on weather patters and the climate has changed my point of view. That, and I find the accusation "scientists just do crap research for funds" to be personally offensive.
I know it happens, but here you're using it as an argument to dismiss an entire field of research that I think you don't want to be true.

As for better arguments, I'll repeat those I've already given. I haven't seen people raise sensible arguments against them.
1. The mean temperature on Earth has been increasing systematically over the past few decades, breaking sharply with the trend of the past few centuries.
2. Related, weather patterns have been changing at the same time. Weather patterns have changed in recorded history, but not on such a short timescale. Suggesting a different mechanism.
3. Human activity has released large quantities of CO2 in the atmosphere; CO2 is a well-known "greenhouse" gas. This doesn't prove anything, but it is suggestive, and it most certainly isn't helping.
4. Heating up the Earth melts ice and increases the sea level because the ocean heats up along with it. This has been measured; satelite images show that the ice sheet on Greenland is sliding.

Is it tentative? Yes, but it is a consistent picture. Correlation does not imply causality, but it's worth thinking about it when you do see a correlation.

Yes. Then again, I don't care as much what the climate looks like a thousand years from now as I do what it looks like a few decades from now. Current weather models are getting accurate enough to predict trends on such a timescale. I wouldn't trust the pricise numbers that come out of such a calculation, but overall trends definately.

And may not is a justification for doing nothing to limit possible human intervention?

There's a difference between quantitative and qualitative predictions. The arguments given there are qualitative; making them quantitative is a good deal more complicated and the outcome is very uncertain. But the qualitative behavior is quite clear and doesn't require complicated physics.

EDIT
Let me rephrase what I do and do not believe.
1. We are not going to have any long-term effect on life on Earth. Nothing we can do to it is worse than what nature has done to it over the past few hunderd million years.
2. Do we know what the climate will look like in a million years? Definately not; weather patterns are too chaotic. Will anything we do today affect what the world looks like a million years from now? I don't think so; to think otherwise seems to be arrogant presumption. No one cares about a million years from now anyway.
3. Given current trends (such as temperature increase), can we say something about what will happen in the next millenium? I don't know enough about these models to make an educated guess, but my gut feeling is "no". The next few decades? That I do believe - and the next few decades are what are most relevant to people living today.
4. Do we know that current trends will contine in the future? No, we don't. For one thing, if the energy output of the sun decreases a fraction, temperatures will drop because the sun is by far the most important energy source.
But we cannot control the energy output of the sun. On the other hand, we can control things like CO2 emission, which certainly do nothing to reduce climate change. If current trends are a natural phenomenon, nothing we do to reduce CO2 emission will affect them. If they are not natural, then we should try to do something, because the consequences (see 3) can be very bad.

Yup, thank you.

Beyond that, I'm stepping out, this is turning into a bit of a flamewar.

Isn't there a "Super Volcano" somewhere that, when it erupts, will spew so much crap in the air that it will cover half the planet in a giant cloud of ash?

See edit.
I heard about it from a coworker who saw it on the discovery channel.

Rage.

Muhahahahaha.....

I don't really get why everyone cares. If I lived in Holland maybe... But me personally? meh.

Worst comes to worst I just move to somewhere that used to be really cold.

Oh Dustin? You aren't worried about tornadoes doing more and more damage to coastal cities and large parts of the south west becoming too hot and arid in the future?

I bags the beanbag in front of the Plasma TV and the case of bears!

Nope, not worried in the slightest.

I'm more worried about real threats like bio-attacks, nukes, something creative a terrorist might come up with etc.

Real? Last time I checked those things aren't much of a concern to me personally. I'd say let the big guys play with their WMD toys, leaves more recources for us
