What creates clouds Gene? How are the dynamics of weather given their energy? I mean - come on - you're a smart guy - hell of a lot smarter than most of the folks who hang out here. Rather than being some gloom and doom prognosticator, I'd just like to keep an open mind that man might (and I think does) have an impact on global warming. There is a difference of opinon of just how much of an impact. Is there a pollution problem? Of course. Bad air is bad air and most of it comes from industrial countries and of course cars. Can't argue that. But does that effect/affect/impact global warming? Is there a correlation between pollution and global warming? Hell, there really isn't any correlation between carbon dioxide and global warming. On the other hand, there is direct observational evidence that the Sun may be entering a very active radiation cycle - Venus is hotter, Mars is hotter and I just saw something the other day about the luminessence of Jupiter and Saturn increasing. We're a hell of a lot closer to the Sun than those planets (except for Venus) and if they are warming/getting brighter and apprently warmer, don't you think that it could happen here? Only the effect is mitigated by a rather thick atmosphere, orbital mechanics and Earth's somewhat odd wobble and eccentric orbit? Those that say than man "just couldn't" have any effect are trying to form a negative proof in lieu of scientific method and must, therefore, have some other agenda (political, most likely) rather than science or logic. Not true at all. In fact, it's just the opposite. The "truth" is based on incomplete science, deliberate misrepresentation, ignoring historical and scientific data to the contrary and doing exactly what any propoganda minister would do - demonize those who do not accept their "science" as the truth. As to logic, explain to me exactly how global warming temperature is obtained - exactly how do you develop a "global" temperature average? Explain to me how the Koyoto Treaty isn't going to come close to even their own goals and why it's a completel failure, but is touted as being the only way the planet can be saved. If you believe, you believe. However, putting the label of illogic and agenda's on it is exactly what the proponents want - because it then becomes a political issue which is usually illogical and based strictly on who has the most power to get what they want. Hooo Rah! |
