Man's contribution to global warming is real, even if you and the rest

We could save some carbon emmisions and recycle the politicians? We could
use the politicians carbon to make boats, at least then they would be true

Political carbon fiber?

No thanks.

I wonder when they are going to get around to taxing breathing though
- I mean there are 6 billion people on Earth - that's got to be
something to consider for cap and trade. A large source of carbon
emissions and, dare I say it, other "greenhouse" asses...er..gasses.

I mean think about it - how many times a year do you..um..blast a real
stinker - times six billion...wow, that's a lot of greenhouse gas
being emitted.

Espiecally after eating Chinese food. No wonder you can't see more

Kind of like humans need water to live, so if the world's ice melts
and the world turns to one big ocean with no land, we'll be good to go.

But that's just the point - the science isn't settled, nobody knows
what is or isn't happening.The highly vaunted MIT Global Model, out of
400 possible results, shows exactly 20 possibilities that end in the
drastic scenarios being promulgated - 20 out of 400 and the
assumptions made in the model are so outrageous that it defies
description.

James Hanson (Hockey Stick Theory) has been completely discredited,
proponents of doomsday scenarios can't even settle on a way to
describe this proported phenomenon and solar science is being
completely ignored as part of the equation.

Let's take your example as a "for instance". The Artic melts and the
waters rise a minimum of six inches to over two feet inundating the
worlds cities. Ok, but hasn't anybody heard of water vapor? There are
sound models that suggest that if anything, the world will become a
more soggy place from rain assuming, and that's a big assume, that the
entire ice sheet melts - which is impossible.

And let's take "temperature" creep. The core data samples used in a
lot of these models are taken from areas that are largely urban in
nature and mostly in industrialized areas of the world. The weather
station over at the Thompson Dam is a great example. It used to be
located in a woods - it's now sitting in the middle of a parking lot.
Bradley Field's (Hartford) weather system is located right next to a
building on the tarmac and surrounded by black top - it reads
consistently 3 degrees higher than any other reporting station in the
state, but it's the "official" reporting station and it's data counts.

And let's not forget that a large part of the world isn't sampled at
all.

Want to discuss the recent ASOS findings?

Let's be reasonable - yes, man does affect the environment - can't
argue that. Is it a good idea reduce air pollution, clean our waters
and try to act as responsible as possible? Certainly. Recycle, etc.,
good things and socially responsible. Got it - agree completely. I'm
all for gas milage - it only makes sense to reduce consumption
reasonably and responsiblity.

Demonizing an opposing point of view that is based on science and
takes a different approach to the problems isn't science - it's a
political approach and doesn't help any.

Are you saying that the scientist that agree that global warming IS
occuring....aren't using sound science in their approach? Did you
happen to see the latest National Geographic magazine's article about
the melting arctic ice sheets?
How about Scientific American?
http://www.scientificamerican.com/ar...of-global-warm

(that's a good read, you'll like it!)

What do you say about the fact that there is DIRECT correlation
between rising ocean temps and amounts of man-made pollution in the
atmosphere? Do I know for a fact that man has caused all of this?
Nope, and don't purport to. But I'm not about to sit around and do
nothing until it's too late.

I'm saying that they are reaching conclusions based on faulty data,
personal bias, obtaining more "research" grants and an over arching

So yes - I'm saying that they are ignoring important evidence that

Sure did - the "Ice Baby" issue. Did you happen to read the part about

conclude that this has happened before?

And that it's not quite as dramatic as you make it sound?

Oh, but you make it sound as if the article was stating that warming
has occured at the rate that it is now, and that's not true. Of course
there is a natural cycle. But those cycles are tame and mild compared
to what is happening now. And what about the correlation between
warming trend vs. pollution levels?

From Mark Henderson, Science Correspondent, in Washington The
strongest evidence yet that global warming has been triggered by human
activity has emerged from a major study of rising temperatures in the
world’s oceans.

The present trend of warmer sea temperatures, which have risen by an
average of half a degree Celsius (0.9F) over the past 40 years, can be
explained only if greenhouse gas emissions are responsible, new
research has revealed.

The results are so compelling that they should end controversy about
the causes of climate change, one of the scientists who led the study
said yesterday.

"The debate about whether there is a global warming signal now is
over, at least for rational people," said Tim Barnett, of the Scripps
Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla, California. "The models got
it right. If a politician stands up and says the uncertainty is too
great to believe these models, that is no longer tenable."

In the study, Dr Barnett’s team examined more than seven million
observations of temperature, salinity and other variables in the
world’s oceans, collected by the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration, and compared the patterns with those that are
predicted by computer models of various potential causes of climate
change

If you look at the record of CO2 and temperature rise we still have a
couple of more degrees C and PPM of CO2 before we hit the previous high
which occurred over 35,000 years ago.

From Mark Henderson, Science Correspondent, in Washington The
strongest evidence yet that global warming has been triggered by human
activity has emerged from a major study of rising temperatures in the
world’s oceans.


Using what to perform the measurements and what to report the
measurements. Hanson of NASA's models have been proved to fudge the data
to fit the desired outcome. Hanson's model adds a couple of degrees here
and there to make sure that global warming is increasing at an alarming
rate. It's all about funding the research.

The present trend of warmer sea temperatures, which have risen by an
average of half a degree Celsius (0.9F) over the past 40 years, can be
explained only if greenhouse gas emissions are responsible, new
research has revealed.


What do the studies that are not proponents of global warming attribute
the alleged increase in sea temperature to?

The results are so compelling that they should end controversy about
the causes of climate change, one of the scientists who led the study
said yesterday.


Therein lies the problem "the results are so compelling" to make people
skeptical of the results and want an unbiased second opinion. But, since
the pro global warming crowed keeps repeating the mantra that "the
science is settled" it is difficult to fund research to do the "second
opinion" studies.

"The debate about whether there is a global warming signal now is
over, at least for rational people," said Tim Barnett, of the Scripps
Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla, California. "The models got
it right. If a politician stands up and says the uncertainty is too
great to believe these models, that is no longer tenable."


What model? Has the model been peer reviewed? Who performed the peer
review?

In the study, Dr Barnett’s team examined more than seven million
observations of temperature, salinity and other variables in the
world’s oceans, collected by the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration, and compared the patterns with those that are

Let an agency outside the US federal government perform an independent
study. What harm could it cause. Five years is not going to amount to
much when talking about geological time.
