Global Warming

[redrumjuice]

An overwhelming majority of scientists who are experts in climate and study the cause/effect and rate of warming and CO2 increases over the last 100 years compared the last 500K years disagree with you.

There were brush fires before humans. That does not mean humans can't cause brush fires or we should minimize concerns towards preventing or mitigating brush fires.

Good analogy.

Man it's Penny Laneing cold!!!

 

Ski areas in Washington are losing there snow base. And we've had our 3rd 100 year flood in the last 5 years. But, there are a lot of Washingtonians down here in Maui surfing and I couldn't be happier.

Breckenridge has 4 FEET of snow on the ground, the most there in a decade.

 

The cold will kill us all a lot sooner than the heat. How do crops and livestock do in the cold Einstein?

That's a fact in which there should be no disagreement. But what you blatantly said was that humans affecting the climate in a negative manner " to such a degree does not seem possible." I'm not sure what degree you are talking about, but you seem to heavily insinuate it shouldn't be a concern. An overwhelming majority of scientists who are experts in climate and study the cause/effect and rate of warming and CO2 increases over the last 100 years compared the last 500K years disagree with you.

Did not say it should not be a concern , did not say that humans did not contribute or that they have not played a big part ,... in addition , there are scientists and scientific organizations that are not completely onboard as well

 

last 100 years is a pin drop to what earth has experienced and gone through over last 7 billion years ...seriously while we should care ,be concerned and do our best to protect the Earth without a doubt , look at time line over 6 billion years and see what earth has experienced as it pertains to changes ...massive , massive changes that we had nothing to do with yet life grew continued and thrived ... the Earth goes on

I really don't get your point, the basis of the concern, scientific or otherwise, isn't whether the earth will or won't go on. It's how to effectively mitigate a problem that will effect us and finding out what reasonable and proactive actions we can take that will save time and money in the future.

Here is someone else bushy can ignore:

 

William Happer, Cyrus Fogg Brackett Professor of Physics at Princeton. He seems fairly qualified in this regard from where we sit. He’s spent his professional life studying one of the main physical phenomena behind the greenhouse effect. He’s published 200 peer-reviewed papers in scientific journals, a member of the American Physical Society and the National Academy of Sciences. He’s even previously been the director of energy research at the Department of Energy (DOE) from 1990 to 1993, where he supervised all DOE’s climate change work.

 

Last May, he testified before congress. Guess what he said:

“Global-warming alarmists have tried to silence any who question the party line of impending climate apocalypse. We need to establish a Team B of competent scientists, charged with questioning the party line. The DoD and the CIA do this, there was a devil’s advocate (promoter fidei) for sainthood, why not the same for climate change?“

 

“The climate-change establishment has tried to eliminate any who dare question the science. This was made very clear in the Climategate Letters, which reveal the blacklisting of research that strays from the party line with the aid of hostile peer reviewers and helpful editors, and threats to any journal that did not cooperate — in some cases leading to the removal of editors. Climate change science needs a “team B.”

btw, where do they get the temperatures from?

Bushy will attack the source, becuase she can't argue the facts of the flawed way they are getting the data.
