Well, I should have known I was talking with a flat earth proponent. Replying with personal attacks rather than any evidence further enhances my statement. The problem for you is that you think we all "believe" when, in fact, that's not our currency. Our currency is evidence. Then present some. The fact that the sun heats both planets does not preclude that we've messing with the earth's atmosphere. When you change a system as integral to the earth's condition as its atmosphere, it's going to produce change. Present evidence of the change, and that human activity is causal of that change. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article...489955,00.html Which starts out: 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 And he http://www.commondreams.org/headlines05/0219-01.htm Which starts out: Scientists have found the first unequivocal link between man-made greenhouse gases and a dramatic heating of the Earth's oceans. The researchers - many funded by the US government - have seen what they describe as a "stunning" correlation between a rise in ocean temperature over the past 40 years and pollution of the atmosphere. The study destroys a central argument of global warming skeptics within the Bush administration - that climate change could be a natural phenomenon. It should convince George Bush to drop his objections to the Kyoto treaty on climate change, the scientists say. Tim Barnett, a marine physicist at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in San Diego and a leading member of the team, said: "We've got a serious problem. The debate is no longer: 'Is there a global warming signal?' The debate now is what are we going to do about it?" |
