On the other hand, there is Stanford's Folding Project which uses your computer kind of like SETI does, only for protein research. In the words of noodledaddy, 'Danm global warming, keep your computers on 24/7 for Terry!'

Well, the thing about this too is that CO2 has always been a lagging indicator of warming, that ,is historically on the earth there has been the warming first, then the rise in CO2, as the warming causes the CO2, not the other way around. But wait, you mean there have been warming and cooling periods on the earth before? YES! And there has been warming and cooling on other planets too. The temperature on Mars for example is up almost as much (within .2 degrees C) as the Earth's and there is a distinct lack of SUVs, factories, and Al Gores on Mars.

Lest we forget, in the early 70s the scientific consensus was that we were quickly heading for the next ice age.

Actually, geologic theories seem to indicate we are in a period of ice ages and happen to be in a warmer period. In the long term, according to scientists I saw on a recent History Channel show, the Earth will enter another ice age inevitably. And the really, really long term, if you believe in tectonic plate drift theories (whether we humans are around or not), the energy moving current tectonic plate drifts will come to a halt with formation of a supercontinent like the ancient Gondwana and, if it settles in the far south of the planet, life will halt, making the Earth as barren as Mars supposedly is (that is if the sun does not burn us up first if it goes Red Giant or whatever. So much to look forward to!

Wait... You mean that this could be NATURAL? You mean that nature does things like this on it's own? You mean that humans don't control everything in the entire universe? *is shocked*
