Atmospheric CO2 -- a different view

Atmospheric CO2 -- a different view
ON the other hand ...........
Lets assume for the sake of argument that real non-politicallly influenced and objective science can be the answer of whats going on; and ......... 1. The sun is producing more energy at this particular cycle (of the Holocene interglacial epoch). 2. The eminating particles from the sun are increasingly striking the earth and are creating more nuclei for cloud formation than during other solar cycles. 3. The earth is warming due to increase solar output, and the heat is being trapped by the increase of cloud cover. 4. Due to the increase insolation (sun and re-reflection) by clouds the oceans are now warmer. 5. Carbon dioxide has LESS solubility in seawater when the water is warmer: hence, higher atmospheric CO2. (All the current data shows that the oceanic water temperature rise PRECEDES CO2 increase .... simple chemistry of gas solubility in a liquid at work!! Atmospheric CO2 FOLLOWS oceanic temperature rise. Al Gore is (was) a politician and has absolutely NO scientific credentials, yet an 'agenda'. . Most of the 2500 scientists (UN / IPCC) reporting global warming due to human caused CO2 .... their jobs depend on Global Warming, etc. Objectivitiy???? This is simply all "great Satan Envy". No thanks, I think Ill wait it out and without advocating squandering a major portion of national treasure on something that is most plausibly 'entirely out of the control of arrogant mankind'. Whats being proposed will have NO effect on global warming, other 'cycles' in the past have been warmer than now (and with higher atmospheric CO2) .... This is the complimentary "nonsense" of the 1960s/70s when Global cooling and a new ICE AGE was immediately inevitable. This nonsense will only stop when the 'feel-gooders' stop or cease all advances of civilization, force the return to primitive subsistance living (except for China and India) .... and all the poor in the third world countries suffer even more because of our arrogant insanity. This is simply anti-capitalism at its finest .... its so 'political' , so politically correct, etc. that noone wants to be called the emperor with no clothes. Wait another 50 years, then you can tell me I was right. :-) In article , KLC Lewis wrote: Let's assume, for the sake of argument, that Al Gore's worst predictions are snip in order to reduce them, utterly redundant an unnecessary. |

So, warming is occurring, but there's discussion about the cause. Post cause, there's an effect. There's (so far in this discussion) been an assumption by many that the effect is 'disaster', therefore action is needed to cool things down. There will be change. The degree of change will be incertain. It will almost certainly mean an increase in navigable waters (good news for sailors - lets get back OT) and less space for landlubbers (tough if you haven't got a boat; and tough for those who own sea level property, who will have to depreciate their assets as the threat becomes more obvious). Hilltops may become prime land for building. Farmers will not be 'wiped out', though that's what will happen to those who don't adapt to growing different crops - just part of normal economic change through bankruptcy. And so on. Fur coats may even go out of fashion, replaced by more rainwear. Nudity may spread (like obesity? Hmm. Hope not). Darwinism works wonders . . . those who adapt to change will survive . . . . people or businesses or governments. That'll prepare us for the day when the galaxy starts to cool . . . . or a volcanic island takes off into the stratosphere . . . . or that asteroid smashes into the earth. Don't resist change, go with the flow. JimB www.jimbaerselman.f2s.com/ Comparing (the nicer) European Cruise areas |

The present percentage of CO2 in the atmosphere is .035%. Your figures are off by a factor of about 18 times. Until such time as people can at least get the facts straight how do expect anybody nuts to have their way? Read and learn: http://www.globalchange.umich.edu/gl...olution%5Fatm/ Wilbur Hubbard |

Total crap. http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisf...032575,00.html http://www.jri.org.uk/index.php?opti...37&Item id=83 http://community.channel4.com/groupe...m/f/9250037634 The CO2 in the atmosphere has risen from 0.52% to 0.54% since the industrial revolution. ********! http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/corporat...ths/index.html The most interesting graphics on the movie is when one of the professors, I forget which one, overlays the CO2 in the air with the temperature over the last X thousand years. When the temperature rises, CO2 in the air rises AFTERWARDS, not before. When the temperature falls, CO2 in the air falls AFTERWARDS, not before. This is caused by the oceans. As the top levels of the oceans warm with the air, the ocean animals rapidly multiply, filling the ocean with CO2, which the oceans' massive surfaces transfer into the air. When the oceans cool, as the planet cools, the opposite happens. This has been going on for millions of years.....not since man invented the 427 Chevy with dual exhausts and 6 carbs. Global warming, as you'll see from the Earth's many records in the movie...is caused by the SUN, In the past, yes. The release of CO2 privides positive feedback. that big thermonuclear bomb that's quite close, by astronomical standards, to the Earth. CO2 FOLLOWS its warming and cooling...not causes it! Of course, without "global warming" there is no "global warming government spending/grants" and all the trappings of $$$$ that goes with it. Once The Beast is convinced of something, The Beast throws billions at it, creating its own vacuum to consume everything The Beast throws at it. Oh, and HIV doesn't cause AIDS, either. HIV is an ancient virus humans have been passing on to each other for thousands of years. ALL AIDS patients don't have HIV, just some of them. ALL HIV carriers don't get AIDS, either, only a small percentage of them. So, HIV can't cause AIDS. But, just like Global Warming, we have this HIV/AIDS industry that DEPENDS on The Beast pouring money into it, so it doesn't matter whether HIV causes AIDS or not...as long as The Beast thinks it does...the money will flow, ad nauseum, for decades. Can we afford to find a cure for Cancer? Heart Diseases? Common Cold? or any of the other massive moneymakers that buy fancy cars, yachts, jets, beachfront mansions for doctors? What? Are you CRAZY?!! Anyone who finds a cure is DEAD MEAT! Larry |

Atmospheric CO2 -- a different view
Oh ...and you are an ass. My, my. A little hot under the collar are we? nope thats why i re read my post and asked you to insert "being" before an. GW discussions dont make me hot under the coller; i reserve that for old southern californians moving to oregon and trying to change the laws. GW is just a thing that needs to be delt with. I have no illusions that most of the population is going to ignore the problem untill it affects them. I just figure sailors who live by the sea would be a bit more ready to read the current research because it has a real effect on our decisions (when and where we sail) and our insurances. (dont know about sport sailors but ships are getting hit a little harder these days) this subject intrests me because i think sailors will look at current research and give it a closer look than our Respective parties and politics. However this depends on actually reading the work and not getting the snooze from CNN. in my career, i have seen a change in the waters i would be sailing at different times of the year. breakup in Dead Horse is now the middle of june and not mid july. Africa is spitting tropical storms into the carib a little more often than ten years ago. it affects how i plan a trip and how i navigate. Even ships have limits and in some storms. The tuna are getting closer and closer to shore here in oregon every year and, early. the tuna fleet is already on its way up from the south seas and its only march. Folks do point out darwinianin selection but seem to forget that the only reason GW is of concern is humans. the flora and fauna will live on. |

You are aware that hurricanes tend to run in ten-year cycles, and that we are currently in the last few of years of a "high" period? And that, technically speaking, humans are also "fauna"? |

And that, technically speaking, humans are also "fauna"? yep; on the hurricane cycle, also global wobbel, shrinking ice caps on mars and most of the other stuff folks like to defend one point or another with. The exclusion of humans from fauna was deliberate so I would not have folks arguing evolution at me. This is why provided search links to ALL of the data. Dave... yes I suppose i am a "greenie" at that. I just researched the research instead of listening to Chomski or Rush. Faith in politics much like faith in nav aids is a good way to die. |
