No the problem is YOU talking out of your ass and changing the weather of this group. Of course, there are always people who deny the truth even when it's looking them in the face. Great self-recognition skills you have Jonathan. Told many good lies to innocent folk's ISP's lately? You expect truth from a left-winger? JB |

One or two "scientists" say that Global warming is entirely attributable too natural causes, 5000 others say man is making a significant contribution, and which do you go with? Cheers Marty I'm just tryiong to figure how to make more money off your fears. like all the other global warming warriors. You know more about hurricanes then the most honored hurricane researcher in the Atlantic basin? So, are you claiming that Dr. Landsea is denying global warming?- No..I just posted his opinion that the global warming folks are using hurricanes as the "global warming poster child." It's a scare tactic, and the Hurricane expert says they are bald face liar's. You should read the posting again. I trust Dr. Landsea's opinion on Hurricanes more than some Yourapeein pack of liars. http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/conten.../291/5504/566a News of the Week CLIMATE CHANGE: It's Official: Humans Are Behind Most of Global Warming Richard A. Kerr The United Nations-sponsored Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change officially declared early this week that "most of the observed warming over the last 50 years is likely to have been due to the increase in greenhouse gas concentrations." The panel was vaguer than ever, though, about how bad things could get by the end of the century. At a minimum, the world will warm more than twice as much in the coming century as it did in the past one, the panel concluded, but it could warm 10 times as much. Bet you nor the quack don't live in Florida! |

So respected, in fact, that when the United Nations decided to study the relationship between hurricanes and global warming for the largest scientific endeavour in its history -- its International Panel on Climate Change -- it called upon you and your expertise. a largish snip The trouble with global warming is nobody knows. And if somebody knew, there's nothing they could do about it anyway. It's just a way to sell books, magazines, movies, and television shows. There's so many really really dumb people around like Nora who actually believe it when people say you global warming's responsible for making big blocks of ice falling outta the sky. When so many people are so dumb they can't figure out how stupid it is to say global warming's making ice fall outta the sky then it's pretty pitiful. Mind-numbed robots..... Katrina's real name http://www.boston.com/news/weather/a...l_name?mode=PF By Ross Gelbspan | August 30, 2005 THE HURRICANE that struck Louisiana yesterday was nicknamed Katrina by the National Weather Service. Its real name is global warming. When the year began with a two-foot snowfall in Los Angeles, the cause was global warming. When 124-mile-an-hour winds shut down nuclear plants in Scandinavia and cut power to hundreds of thousands of people in Ireland and the United Kingdom, the driver was global warming. When a severe drought in the Midwest dropped water levels in the Missouri River to their lowest on record earlier this summer, the reason was global warming. In July, when the worst drought on record triggered wildfires in Spain and Portugal and left water levels in France at their lowest in 30 years, the explanation was global warming. When a lethal heat wave in Arizona kept temperatures above 110 degrees and killed more than 20 people in one week, the culprit was global warming. And when the Indian city of Bombay (Mumbai) received 37 inches of rain in one day -- killing 1,000 people and disrupting the lives of 20 million others -- the villain was global warming. As the atmosphere warms, it generates longer droughts, more-intense downpours, more-frequent heat waves, and more-severe storms. Although Katrina began as a relatively small hurricane that glanced off south Florida, it was supercharged with extraordinary intensity by the relatively blistering sea surface temperatures in the Gulf of Mexico. The consequences are as heartbreaking as they are terrifying. Unfortunately, very few people in America know the real name of Hurricane Katrina because the coal and oil industries have spent millions of dollars to keep the public in doubt about the issue. The reason is simple: To allow the climate to stabilize requires humanity to cut its use of coal and oil by 70 percent. That, of course, threatens the survival of one of the largest commercial enterprises in history. In 1995, public utility hearings in Minnesota found that the coal industry had paid more than $1 million to four scientists who were public dissenters on global warming. And ExxonMobil has spent more than $13 million since 1998 on an anti-global warming public relations and lobbying campaign. In 2000, big oil and big coal scored their biggest electoral victory yet when President George W. Bush was elected president -- and subsequently took suggestions from the industry for his climate and energy policies. As the pace of climate change accelerates, many researchers fear we have already entered a period of irreversible runaway climate change. Against this background, the ignorance of the American public about global warming stands out as an indictment of the US media. When the US press has bothered to cover the subject of global warming, it has focused almost exclusively on its political and diplomatic aspects and not on what the warming is doing to our agriculture, water supplies, plant and animal life, public health, and weather. For years, the fossil fuel industry has lobbied the media to accord the same weight to a handful of global warming skeptics that it accords the findings of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change -- more than 2,000 scientists from 100 countries reporting to the United Nations. Today, with the science having become even more robust -- and the impacts as visible as the megastorm that covered much of the Gulf of Mexico -- the press bears a share of the guilt for our self-induced destruction with the oil and coal industries. As a Bostonian, I am afraid that the coming winter will -- like last winter -- be unusually short and devastatingly severe. At the beginning of 2005, a deadly ice storm knocked out power to thousands of people in New England and dropped a record-setting 42.2 inches of snow on Boston. The conventional name of the month was January. Its real name is global warming. |
