I just LOVE it....I wonder what all of you righties, who, here in
this
very newsgroup, condemmed science, saying that global warming was
made
up by mad scientists.

First, he said it was too soon to blame CO2 as a cause IF there was
indeed
global warming. IN MY OPINION, The output of the sun and it's cycles
need
to be looked at FIRST.

Has been.
What?? can't be done without accuate data on climate temps over many years.
The differences that are being talked about are less than 1 degree a decade
for the last 30 years. The models predict this but it hasn't happend. They
are guessing that we are up 1 degree so the Scientists are saying that
without the greenhouse gasses we would have had a small ice age (colder
climate because the sun is in a cooling cycle). BUT the SUN is in a warm
phase with sunspots peaking this year and should start to cool after this
year. Something is wrong here??


Green house gases are created by (in order of the volume produced);
Termites, Cows, powerplants, cars, bacteria, other animals including
man.

It's not the amount of various greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, but
the potential for heat trapping of each. Granted, there is a much
greater concentration of CO2 and Methane, than CFC's, BUT, what little
CFC concentrations are found have a far greater heat trapping
potential. There are many of these gases that are found in small
concentrations, but have a huge potential, such as low level ozone,
Methyl Chloroform, N20, and on and on.

Methane is a much more efficient greenhouse gas than CO2. I wasn't aware
that CFC's had any effect on global warming. The concern there was ozone
depletion.

And reports to Congress need to be looked at with a scepticle eye
depending
on who wrote then and the political agenda behind the commission of the
report. I personally wouldn't beleave ANY report generated during an
election year!

Why is that? These findings have been around for years, it's just that
the republicans choose to pull their collective blinders tight!

All the coal and oil in the world was once in the air as CO2 and life
flurished. Over millions of years it has been trapped out of the air as
plant material that was depositied at the bottom of a swamp. Then covered
by the land and turned into coal. Then under heat and pressure the coal
released oil that pooled in domes that we now tap. All the oil in the world
is but a SMALL percentage of the total COAL that is still lying under the
earth.

CO2 is not the problem, Mercury and lead are!

"...all of you righties..."? Is this another wild, unsubstantiated
allegation.
Have you any proof?

Are you planning on finishing this sentence any time soon? Enquiring
minds....

asslicker has been drinking the kerry kool-aid for too long

"Richard Lindzen, Ph.D., a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology and one of the 11 scientists who prepared the NAS report (and who
also contributed to the UN's International Panel on Climate Change), has
said so - repeatedly. He has said there were a wide variety of scientific
views presented in the report and "that the full report did, [express a wide
variety of views] making clear that there is no consensus, unanimous or
otherwise, about long-term climate trends and what causes them." The same is
true of the all of the U.N.'s IPCC studies to which many reporters refer.
Claims that scientific opinion is nearly unanimous on the subject of global
warming are wrong. The Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine received
signatures from over 17,100 basic and applied American scientists -
two-thirds with advanced degrees - to a document saying, "There is no
convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane
or other greenhouse gasses is causing or will, in the foreseeable future,
cause catastrophic heating of the Earth's atmosphere and disruption of the
Earth's climate."



Hmm, would you care to post a link, and/or let everyone view the
report in it's entirety, dumb ass?
