I'm really on the fence WRT this global warming stuff. But, to play devil's
advocate, what if this were the beginning of the end of the "ice age" when
most of the continents were covered in glaciers. Then the glaciers began
their retreat to the poles. We'd probably be screaming global warming then
as well. Could this not be a continuation of that trend?
If so, whose to say that the massive climate change that might occur, begins
another "ice age" to start the process all over again? Since no one was
around to take CO2 and methane measurements from the dinos, perhaps it's
similar to what man is doing?
I have NO scientific evidence or theories to back this up... just thinking
out loud here, and trying to introduce some food for thought.

Here's the thing about global warming.
There is no such thing as mean global temperature - any such term is
meaningless because of the temperature extremes from
climate-to-climate and natural cycles of heating and cooling. Not to
mention night and day.
From what I've read, the method used is to take the data sets, add
them together then divide by the number of data sets used. While that
is a valid way to gather an "average", it doesn't account for
variations in climate. And as far as I know, and I could be wrong,
that is how the "average" is developed and that doesn't prove
anything.
The general average method does not account for climate. If you take
a climate that has a night time temperature of 10 and daytime of 40
that averages to 25.
If the night time and day time temperatures are 25, the average is
still 25. It's totally meaningless because the climates are different.
You can only evaluate change in context of it's environment.
In my opinion, I think that the most cynical aspect of the whole
Church of Global Warming, Al Gore Synod is that they've take one
problem, pollution (which is real and much more of a threat in my
opinion) and cross-pollinated it to Global Warming.
I'm much more worrid about pollution than I am about Glocal Warming.
One is real, one is a myth.
Then riddle me this, Shortwave;
What's happening to all the polar ice if there is no global warming?
I think you'd find plenty of company among people who aren't quite
ready to blame it all on man's activities; but there are darn few
people who insist it isn't happening at all.- Hide quoted text -
