So far, I haven't seen much in the way of facts from you.

(This from the guy who's been supporting his arguments with statements
like "science says it is so.")




You'll listen to big business, but not to scientists. Maybe you think
smoking doesn't cause cancer?

I listen to both sides. You don't. My only contention is that when
some scientists support the notion of GW, and others dispute it, the
issue is far from conclusive. You, of course, contend that any
scientist who disputes the notion of GW must be in the hip pockets of
big business. That is the hallmark of a closed mind.

Really... you listen to both sides. So, what does science, real science

from scientists, actually say about GW? I contend that there are always

a couple of wackos who are unconvinced by the preponderance of evidence.
What do you believe in? So far, I have yet to see you cite any actual
facts on the subject.


YYou haven't got it yet...scince can look at thuings short term and draw
conclusions and science can lok at overall picutres and applyn the short
term and draw a conclusion. Your science is short-sighted...



Ummm... you're right. If science can look at the short term and draw
valid conclusion and science can look at the long term and draw valid
conclusions, then science is not short-sighted. Why don't you tell how
the earth is only 10,000 years old. You need to give it up. You're not
making any sense at this point.


No...it's you who don't make sense...over the long term...the millions of
years that one can look at, the tests, based on core samplings, tree
rings, etc etc etc say that this is a cyclical and historical event...I
suppose yur contention os that there must have been ancient civilisations
of man that cuased it to happen before..if you look at climate and weather
patterns over short term, you lose track of the previous cycles ..you
cannot make conclusions based on the short erm relative to earth climatic
change...I really don't think you understand this at all...




You don't know the facts. The facts are that the rate of climate warming has
increased dramatically in the last 100 years or so, far more than can be
explained by the normal cycle of hot/cold. In addition, the increase in
human population has prevented such things as normal relocation of plants
and animals through what would be normal migration patterns. This is not a
long term trend. This is a dramatic increase in the RATE of change, not
something that has been seen in the previous millions of years.


What you don't understand is geoglofical and climatical history...100
years is a nothing...better go study Jon...you know nothing about
geomorphology, climatology or global cuclical changes in weather...and
since you know nothing about it, and continue to argue in a cirtcular
path that goes nowhere, I end this discussion, too...you are not even
willing to go look at what I'm talking about...but that would require
deviating from your limiteed ideas on the subject..so for now, I'm done
in this thread...
