THIS year, Europe has been clobbered with snow....just as predicted by the global increase in temperature.... If only there were some natural mechanism for explaining the warming and cooling of the earth. Obviously, there is..... It would have to be unreasonably large, however -- on the scale of our own sun. Exactly..... Oh wait - yes there is!!!! http://www.solarcycle24.com/pictures/spots.jpg See Dalton Minimum for more information. :) Obviously, this is all documented.... what is NEW is the amount of contribution of warming by human intervention. Is it huge-er than anything contributed by the SUN? No, demonstrably not..... ..then comes the concept of the tipping point..... ...true or not true? I don't think we have science good enough to tell. (Well, the science is good, the data sucks....) Life lesson: About 30 years ago, I was involved in take off, estimation, and purchasing involved in the potential of a huge-ass stacker reclaimer project to be located in Charleston.... Long story short.... the VP in charge of sales balked at going over the details YET AGAIN... and the VP in charge of manufacturing replied, "godammit, do you mind if we go over it again, it is XX million dollars we are discussing..." a misstep would have bankrupted the company.... Now.... as I see it, we have the same problem.... if the contribution of heat by man is sufficient, if there *IS* a tipping point, it could mean the end of life as we know it..... It *always* deserves a second consideration.... especially consideration of the finality of a wrong answer... We have the correct and verifiable answers? Al Gore is right? Global warming is caused by man? No.... just, no. The penalty for error? Can we count again.....? Sounds logical to me. |
