National Journal has released a new "Congressional Insiders Poll,"
which surveyed 113 members of Congress - 10 Senate Democrats, 48 House
Democrats, 10 Senate Republicans, and 45 House Republicans - about
their positions on global warming.
The results were startling. Only 13 percent of congressional
Republicans say they believe that human activity is causing global
warming, compared to 95 percent of congressional Democrats. Moreover,
the number of Republicans who believe in human-induced global warming
has actually dropped since April 2006, when the number was 23 percent.
ahahaha... ahahahanson
They certainly do not have the right to pass laws based upon their
belief in global warming. Any such laws can be proved unconstitutional
due to the careful valid application of science which proves the
theoretical assumptions to be invalid. As of such, any such references
to those that may believe and pass such laws will be appropiately due.
In any event, for the IPCC to issue such statements such as the
"debate is over", demonstrates their disconection with reality.
Bringing this before US law means the debate is just beginning. And
possibly the criminal investigation of the scientific fraud behind
this movement to control the use of energy and the economy of the US.
Any agrandizzement in this process of introduction of this fraudulent
science for the purpose of passing such lies would be a very severe
crime, on either side.
Since burden of proof is upon the proponents bringing this case,
deliberate omission of data by the proponents in their presentation
can be effectively construed as deliberate fraud and intent to commit
fraud. Any deliberate false testimony or deposition can be prosecuted,
also.
The burden of proof is upon those bringing this before US law. It
seems to be paramount to their case to avoid this burden of proof, and
confuse the issue by any form of characterizations of their scientific
opponents The IPCC only gives itself a rating of 90% sure of their
conclusions. References to a consensus of these climatologists, or
'mainstream science', does not fulfill the burden of proof for AGW.

What it means is that the majority of Republicans are psychotic. They
profess that their beliefs define reality rather than the other way around.
> The rest have been brainwashed and become damaged
> goods by the green Bible
Obviously 'damaged goods' refers to the Republicans which fit the definition
of 'mentally ill'. Psychosis is a key indicator. On that score we mgiht
include hanson and anyone else that exhibits delusional thinking. We need
to institutionalise them until they can deal with reality and then teach
them about science.
I wonder what the parallel results would have been if they had asked
their opinion on a couple other scientific topics...such as "Do you
believe that humans developed from earlier species?", "Did God create
human beings in their present form exactly as the Bible describes?",
or "Is global warming a sign of the second coming of Christ?"
Ousted Pastor 'Completely Heterosexual'
Forced by a gay sex scandal to resign as president of the National
Association of Evangelicals, the Rev. Ted Haggard now feels that after
three weeks of intensive counseling, he is "completely heterosexual,"
says an overseer of the megachurch Mr. Haggard once led.
The church official, the Rev. Tim Ralph, said in an interview
published yesterday by The Denver Post that Mr. Haggard had also told
the board of overseers that his only sexual relationship involving
another man had been with Michael Jones, the onetime Denver prostitute
who exposed that three-year affair last fall. Mr. Jones said then that
he was making it public because Mr. Haggard had acted hypocritically
in promoting a constitutional amendment to bar same-sex marriage.
Mr. Haggard, who as a result of the scandal was ousted by the
overseers in November as senior pastor of New Life Church in Colorado
Springs, broke a three-month silence over the weekend when he
contacted members of the church by e-mail to tell them that he was
healing.
His three weeks of counseling, in Phoenix, felt like "three years'
worth of analysis and treatment," but now "Jesus is starting to put me
back together," Mr. Haggard wrote in the e-mail message, which was
published in The Colorado Springs Gazette on Monday.
"I have spent so much time in repentance, brokenness, hurt and sorrow
for the things I've done and the negative impact my actions have had
on others," he said.
Mr. Haggard could not be reached for comment yesterday. Mr. Ralph
declined through a spokeswoman to comment, and there was no response
to telephone calls and e-mail to another overseer or to a New Life
spokesman. But Mr. Ralph told The Denver Post that Mr. Haggard had
come out of the counseling convinced of his heterosexuality.
"He is completely heterosexual," Mr. Ralph told The Post, adding that
Mr. Haggard's homosexual activity had not been "a constant thing."
Dr. Jack Drescher, a New York psychiatrist who is an expert on issues
of gender and sexuality, said that while it was people's prerogative
to identify their sexual orientation as they wanted, the notion of
being able to change that orientation was "not consistent with
clinical presentations, but totally consistent with theological
belief."
"Some people in the community that Mr. Haggard comes from believe
homosexuality is a form of behavior, a sinful form of behavior based
on certain things in the Bible, and they don't believe you can create
a healthy identity based on sinful behavior," Dr. Drescher said. "So
they define it as a behavior that can be changed, and there is this
thinking that if you control those behaviors enough, heterosexual
attractions will follow."
Mr. Haggard said in his message to New Life members that he and his
wife were taking online courses to get master's degrees in psychology,
and Mr. Ralph told The Post that the oversight board had recommended
to Mr. Haggard that he take up secular work.
Maybe they will believe it when the cause of global warming is proven to be
caused by man and not just part of the planets natural cycle.
That will never happen.
Going to be hard proof when someone tosses in the end of the last ice age.
Seeing as how the planet seems to have warm up quite a bit w/o any human
help then.
He admits right here that AGW is not proved by science. That sure is a
lot of public money they spend, to be unable to prove the things that
they preach, and how we should give up our evil ways of CO2 emission,
and follow the true light of AGW into the happiness of cooler
temperatures. Perhaps if we just appropiate a few more billion dollars
for research, they can come up with an actual scientific basis for
their doomsday hysteria.
Where I live, global warmth occurs every summer. Some summers can be
100+, every day for a couple months. It is absolutely critical to most
people to have air conditioning. The proponents of AGW only wish to
make electricity much more expensive in order to curb our use. This is
nonsense to the working class and old people, who already face very
high electric bills for electricity for air conditioning, and already
use minimal energy.
The entitlements of social security benefits and medicare, not to
mention pensions and retirements, are already about to break the
government. There is no room for the government to absorb these higher
cost to the pensioners. The imposition of these bogus controls on CO2
and the plans for it, do not provide any means to reduce the emissions
from electrical production, other than to make the prices so high,
that usage will diminish. Existing plants cannot be modified. It costs
3 times more to build a plant that does not emit CO2, and 2 times as
much to operate. This means it is entirely unfeasable economically to
modify to electrical production which is in compliance.
The cap and trade only means, same CO2 in the air. A bunch of
rigamarole and money exchange with the passing out of the CO2 credits
to eligible companies who can then sell them to the highest bidder:
the electrical power production which must consume fuel.
In the meantime, closing the combustion process and trapping CO2 uses
much more energy. There will be no conservation of energy by enforcing
this ineffieciency on the use of energy. Much more energy is needed to
deliver the same energy to the consumer. Again, the strangulation from
our use of energy according to this bogus and criminal fraud.
Many of these corporations think they may do well, reducing their
production and having 'credits' to sell. But they would find out, in
the real world, they will have to go to work like they have never done
to pay their electric bills. They will not get rich selling these
credits. Who ever told them the plan was for them to get rich and have
a free ride doing it????
The effect of this sucking of the money out of the economy, and the
effects on inflation can only be imagined, since all products require
energy to manufacture and ship.
To evaluate the impact on US industry by situations in European
industry is not valid. European countries, already have a considerable
amount of their industries nationalized, and are very nearly socialist
in many of them. And the phobiacs are on their best behaviour in
attempting to get these controls in the US. Once they get legitimacy
here, they would really begin turning the screws. Even just he
corruption all this government regulation would breed, would be a
great harm to our country.,

What do the laws of physics have to do with computer science? Remember its

Many years ago I got into a little trouble. I wrote a little computer game
that was fairly easy to win but for some reason my instructor could never

computer show what you want when you write the program AND pick what data is

>

> And the laws of physics are suddenly invalid because you said so.
Since when does AGW need valid laws of physics?? This idea of
grenhouse gases was totally invented in classical physics, shown to be
invalid in the development of modern physics, and revived by the
charlatan idiots of climatology and quantum mechanics for their
superstition which they have developed into a full blown religion.
A) In no valid laboratory experiment can it be shown that CO2 or
grenhouse gases can retain heat and cause higher temperature. Only
your hoax exhibit in which the gas is enclosed in specific material
and irradiated with high energy frequencies which the earth does not
emit.
B) Stefans law is a law of physics. This states that total radiated
energy or energy through a sq cm, increases as a fourth power to
temperature. Grenhouse theory entirely ignores this law of physics.
1368/4 = 342 - 342/,31 = 235Wm-2 = -19C or -2F. + (,63 x 235) =
57degF.
This is the complete grenhouse thermodynamics.
Only problem is that the average of the energies for the temperatures
is not equat to the energy of average temperature. This is because of
the law of physics known as Stefans law, which grenhouse theory forgot
in it's fabrication of the physics it needs for it's fraudulent
conclusion.
C) All substances have heat capacity. This is the quantity of energy
that must be absorbed by the substance in order to raise it's
temperature. Grenhouse theory has no calculation for the heat capacity
of the earth or ocean. It cannot derive the quantity of heat needed to
melt the ice caps, warm the ocean at all, or even effectively deal
with the heat capacity of the air. Normal dry air at sea level has the
heat capacity of about 29 Joules/mol/degC. Calculate the mass of the
atmosphere, it's molar quantity, multiply by this number for quantity
of heat to raise the temperature of only the atmosphere. Air pressure
is 1/2 at 6 kilometers.
Grenhouse theory does heat capacity in grams to avoid the issue of
heat capacity and molar density in the transfer of heat or
effectualization of temperatures. In fact they rarely refer to the
actual laws of physics or chemistry, and simply fascinate on their
temperature graphs which they cull to their satisfaction, as they
program their computers to give them the result that they want.
D) law of conservation of energy
Grenhouse theory does not regard this law in many ways.
The theory of runaway effect entirely violates this law.
They denote infrared frequencies to produced by dipole and monopole
radiation of the molecule, and as something different than normal
radiation. This is to suit their theory and explain the special
capacities of CO2 that cannot be demonstrated in the laboratory.
But the most simple analyses shows that the motions of the molecules
accounts for the absorption of energy that is the heat capacity. This
includes any supposed vibrations in the bonds of the molecule. There
is no possibility of the energy of the infrared frequencies being the
product of these motions The energy of dipole and monopole radiation,
must be absorbed in kinetic motion and then converted to radiation.
kT = hv at about 40um. @ 300K, hvmax is about 9.7um. The energy of the
motions of the molecules cannot be producing the energy of the
spectral radiation.
You wish to use such terms as 'laws of physics'. These are laws of
nature which in no way depend on the consensus of the climatologists
for their existence. Grenhouse theory is invalid in ANY application of
the laws of physics and this can and will be proved in court.
You should pick up a book on actual chemistry or basic physics
(without QM), and learn what the laws of physics are when you try to
use such big words. The rinky dink bullshit you learned in climatology
is not valid physics or chemistry.
Deatherage
Probably not. You can't convince someone of anything if their
paycheque depends on it not being true. BTW: what is _your_ threshold
for proof? Is it directly proportional to the personal inconvenience
of what is being proven?

What may surprise many, however, is that Enron believed that one of

Enron became one of the biggest corporate boosters of the Kyoto global
warming treaty, which would require huge reductions in energy use by
consumers and industry. According to an internal Enron memo, quoted by

Or that it was a total coincidence,, like a magician
guessing age.
Man may very well be affecting the data measurements,
like the immediate area in big cities and around airports are
definitely warmer, and that is where many if not most surface
data collection points are.
But it is a big world, even the steam and wet condensor
vapor from a gigawatt power plant looks huge from close up,
it is barely visible from 100 miles.
The idea of greenhouse gases dates back to the
1800s, with the myth that without them the Earth would
cool to -200 Celsius. Most models consider the
temperature of the surface to be constant regardless
of the amount of heat of geothermal origin.
Using conditions on Venus as a scare tactic
is foolish, everybody knows that Venus is much
closer to the sun.
Frankly, an independent study starting from
scratch is needed to help validate any existing model.
With all studies starting at the same place with
the same assumptions, it is a waste of resources
because they all get the same answer.

Besides, to reduce CO2 emissions requires a reduction in the
efficiency of any energy use and a greater use of fuel for the same
energy delivered. Full abatement of CO2 would use much more energy
just for the neccesities that we cannot reduce. Cutting back on energy
consumption will never reduce emissions more than several parts per
billion if even that much.
In the meantime, CO2 and grenhouse gases in actuality play no role in
the temperature of the earth. The temperature of the earth is
determined by the energy that reaches the surface.
The intitial theory of grenhouse gases is fraudulent in every respect.
It is the corruption of the academic process that has defeated any
valid education in theoretical physics and allows this fraud to
continue.

Personally I like physics. There is something about science that allows you
to hit things with other things :)
Many years ago I got 100% of a physic lab experment on harmonics because I
set up the equipment correctly and my math came out with the correct answer.
The only problem is to get the right answer I added a step in the math, I
multiplied by 0 (zero) and added the correct answer. Still have that paper
around here somewhere. The point is no one ever saw that my data didn't
support my answer only that I got the answer they were expecting. Any one
who had taken the time to look at my work, much less to put my data into
their own equations, would have seen that something was wrong.
My threshold of proof it the ability of the theory to explain the heating
and cooling of the earth in the past. The end of the beginning and end of
the last ice age, the warming during the 'Viking age', the cooling
afterwards, are just a couple.

An ineffective three-tiered system of scientific self-correction is
suggested as the source of increased fraudulent practice. The peer
review system appears not well controlled. The peer review process may
be subject to bias toward recognized name institutions as well as
toward research that is in accord with the referee's views.
Money has a major influence on scientific behavior. As competition for
grants and pressures to produce increase, "doctoring" of data may also
increase. Colleagues are resistant to report perpetrators because the
entire organization may lose credibility or funding.
A disturbing phenomenon that has increasingly crippled mainstream
science: the establishment of a new scientific orthodoxy, i.e. a quasi-
religious belief by leading scientists in the absolute and
unquestionable validity of the basic theories of their field. These
theories are then elevated to "facts" of which any dissenter is
accused of being ignorant, which makes for a convenient, easy
dismissal of any anomalous evidence. Since any such evidence is thus
automatically ineligible for publication in the proper journals, this
lack of documentation is then in turn taken by researchers in the
field as proof that the evidence must be of low scientific value.
Actually there isn't, except what's being bought and paid for. Even

Well, that's the point, isn't it? These theories about the human

by science. Therefore, they don't need lots of evidence to refute.
Is the climate warming? Sure, I don't see glaciers outside my

it's warmer. Are humans the cause? That's still in debate and

There are "many voices" that dispute evolution as well. Their numbers
don't add up either.
But for hand picked data...is that like when all the "it's not
happening" shills will measure a "cooling trend" from 1998? If you
measure from either year around it, you get warming.
Like Bob Carters article : " There IS a problem with global warming...
it stopped in 1998"

seriously anomaly from the trends making it the absolute WRONG place

Completely wrong. The whole point of a theory is that it is not a fact.
Anyone with sufficient evidence can prove a theory to be incorrect. This
happens all the time.
Do not confuse science and faith. By their very nature they are

No, but they are many who simply repeat anything
they read or hear.
The whole concept is based on 1880s technology,
not adequately updated, and the idea of an average
temperature of the surface air being meaningful is
almost laughable.
At this moment there is a 20 degree F temperature
difference in 50 miles along the moving cold front, so
temperature variation of 1 degree F in global data
is hardly scientific.
What is needed is some real experiments
to determine and verify the ability of GH gases to
absorb and emit photonic radiation.
And then develop a mathematical model
of the concept in the real environment, not some
fantasy imagination of what one molecule does
and an imaginary effect of that on a 20 mile thick
atmosphere.

Peer review, schmeer review.
If that's all you got, ya got dick!
Here's some stuff for you to ignore, brain in neutral:
Fraud cannot be detected during peer review.
Peer review, in scientific journals, assumes that the article reviewed
has been honestly written, and the process is not designed to detect
fraud. The reviewers usually do not have full access to the data from
which the paper has been written and some elements have to be taken on
trust. It is not usually practical for the reviewer to reproduce the
author's work, unless the paper deals with purely theoretical problems
which the reviewer can follow in a step-by-step manner.
An example is the case of Jan Hendrik Schön, in which a total of
fifteen papers were accepted for publication in the top ranked
journals Nature and Science following the usual peer review process.
All fifteen were found to be fraudulent and were subsequently
withdrawn. The fraud was eventually detected, not by peer review, but
after publication when other groups tried and failed to reproduce the
results of the paper.
"There seems to be no study too fragmented, no hypothesis too trivial,
no literature too biased or too egotistical, no design too warped, no
methodology too bungled, no presentation of results too inaccurate,
too obscure, and too contradictory, no analysis too self-serving, no
argument too circular, no conclusions too trifling or too unjustified,
and no grammar and syntax too offensive for a paper to end up in
print."
Drummond Rennie, deputy editor of Journal of the American Medical
Association
Some sociologists of science argue that peer review makes the ability
to publish susceptible to control by elites and to personal jealousy.
The peer review process may suppress dissent against "mainstream"
theories. Reviewers tend to be especially critical of conclusions that
contradict their own views, and lenient towards those that accord with
them. At the same time, elite scientists are more likely than less
established ones to be sought out as referees, particularly by high-
prestige journals or publishers. As a result, it has been argued,
ideas that harmonize with the elite's are more likely to see print and
to appear in premier journals than are iconoclastic or revolutionary
ones, which accords with Thomas Kuhn's well-known observations
regarding scientific revolutions.
According to Dr Tom Jefferson, from the Cochrane Collaboration Methods
Group: "If peer review were a new medicine, it would never get a
licence." As he explains: "Peer-review is generally assumed to be an
important part of the scientific process and is used to assess and
improve the quality of submissions to journals as well as being an
important part of the process of deciding what research is funded.
"But we have found little empirical evidence to support the use of
peer-review as a mechanism to ensure the quality of research
reporting, and there's even more depressing evidence about its value
in deciding what should be funded."
As I have pointed out good companies do what needs to be done to make money.
If they can make the company look good with a few press releases. You will
note that they are also paying people to prove it isn't. Kinda like them
giving money to both political parties.

Have you noticed how many people are trying to silence anyone saying they
human caused global warming isn't happening? Ever wonder why that is? It
could be the fact that if it is proven to be a load of crap a lot of them
are going to have a lot of egg on their faces and have no jobs.
BTW, how do you explain the warning about the global cooling that was the
big worry in the 70's? Also how do you explain the end of the ice age? The
little ice age? The medieval warming period? The fact that the temps on
Mars seem to be going up? The fact that glaciers in some parts of the world
appear to be getting bigger? Are you sure the current earth temp is the
correct one? Many, many unanswered questions out there.

Gee, putting the collection of assumptions about
global warming in the same class as a scientific theory
is really hallucinating, surely emory doesn't teach that.
First, the concept of greenhouse gases needs
to be studied in detail, is the idea that long wave
photonics from molecules at all levels of the atmosphere
actually reach the surface valid with certainty?
I doubt if CO2 levels measured by satellites
are wrong, it is the contrived surface air temperature
data assumptions that are way off base.
Maybe you can explain how the Ohio valley
could have average temperatures 8 degrees below
normal for the entire ten years from 1960 to 1969,
and that is somehow meaningful in a world average,
was there some place else that had to be 8 degrees
above normal to maintain a global average?
I don't think so.

You have a biased agenda, theories don't get
disproved either without the whole scientific community
working for years --- trying to DISprove --- them, and
this has not happened with either the global warming
concept or the greenhouse gas ideas.
If the moon had an atmosphere, it would be
warm without greenhouse gases.

A disturbing phenomenon that has increasingly crippled mainstream
science: the establishment of a new scientific orthodoxy, i.e. a
quasi- religious belief by leading scientists in the absolute and
unquestionable validity of the basic theories of their field.

You might want to look at the next section of the wikipedia article

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peer_review
I note that you only posted only the section on fraud, while
*ignoring* the rest. I'm not going to pretend that it's a perfect
process, but work is being done to try and improve it...which I guess
you *ignored* as well.
In the end, I'll assume that you are accusing nearly the entire

science is more or less self correcting, in the end, and you can only
get away with fraud for so long. Frankly, I wish global warming was a
fraud...but if wishes were horses, we'd be neck deep in horse shit.

However neutral you are, the first says man
caused a 2 degree cooling beginning about 1,000
years ago, so that means even with recent warming
it is still one degree cooler than the first 1,000 years
of the calendar. :-)
>Have you ever looked to answer the question on your own?
There is a huge number of conclusions and
very little available data or discussion of the concepts.
I tried to look at one list of local temperatures,
but kept finding isolated cases of observation locations
that were only there for part of the time, and that weights
the data toward the earlier times.
The more a person thinks about the concept
that the averaging of a number of locations should
produce a meaningful number, the more it seems
obvious the idea should be questioned.
Joe Fischer
I would hope so but I really haven't seen it. As I have pointed out none of
the human caused global warming (HCGW) people care to explain the end of the
ice age.

The same thing there. There are holes in the part of that theory about
everything coming from one ancestor. Yet if you even mention that there are
flaws in the theory no one tries to refute the flaws they only call you
names. The same thing for the HCGW people, they can't/won't answer the
questions.

Personally I'm not sure of a global warming trend but I'm leaning that way.
But I am in NO way convinced that humans have ANYTHING to do with it. Again
I point out the end of the ice age which can not be accounted for by the
HCGW crowd.

I just read a story from a scientist who had his paper refused out of hand
because it pointed out the holes in the HCGW theory. Which stories are
going to get the media coverage. The ones that everything is ok or the 'we
are all going to die' stories? Ever notice that you very rarely read a
story in a newspaper telling you how well anything is going? Even when the
stock market hits a record high there is usually a story somewhere about how
the market is poised for a major 'correction'. Good news doesn't sell. And
science that shows things are going ok doesn't get the funding.
How many people would be out of jobs if tomorrow it was proven that oil
actually was still being formed and global warming was going to top out next
week? All those scientist working on H2 projects and the like might have to
get, gasp, jobs.
Maybe I didn't make myself clear. The theory has to be able to explain the
how warming and cooling of the earth, then AND now are linked to human
activity. Neither of these, nor any other I have found, tell me how the
earth waming and ending the ice is linked to human activity which is the
theory in vogue today. If the earth warmed that much in the past all on its
own then its going to take a lot of evidence to prove it isn't doing it all
on its own now.

I am looking for a good paper on the process
of greenhouse gases, and haven't found one.
Plus I have found nothing on the theory about
why an average global temperature has any meaning
at all.
But that may be because I don't know how to
use the google search engine to weed out the millions
of newsgroup and blog articles.
Without a meaningful theory that requires the
average global temperature to be stable, there can
be no global warming theory.
And if temperatures can vary by several degrees
on either side of a moving front, then it surely takes more
than that regular deviation to be meaningful, yet the only
number mentioned is 0.6 degrees C, or 1.0 degrees F.
Are temperatures on either side of freezing
weighted with the latent heat of fusion?
The same with the latent heat of vaporization
of various liquids. Or ordinary water vapor phase
changes?
Most of the dialogue pro-GW is at such a
simplistic level, and that makes any serious discussion
swamped by meaningless drivel.

Your assumption is a fraud.
Most of the 'scientific community' is not involed in the Co2 fueled
agw doomsday fraud, tardboy.
Most of the 'scientific community' have more productive things to do
other than taking temperatures, creating graphs, and running around
like chicken littles.
Your lumping 'climate scientists' with "the entire scientific
community" is a fraud.

It's a way of life for the small circle of scientists researching Co2
feuled agw.
When the booger eating temperature takers can man-ipulate the global
climate and do repeatable global climate experiments, then
they should join the ranks of real scientists.
Until then, they should languish on the doomsday snake-oil-salesmen

This is very wrong! All current generation models include both land
surface and ocean-atmosphere coupling. The land surface models are
complex and factor in the soil temperature at several depths and the
type of vegetation. The type of vegetation is particularly crucial in
the midwest US where fields can either be corn, wheat or soybeans.
Corn is important as a corn field increases the amount of water vapor
in the air during the day. Changing the crop type and/or soil types
and temperatures changes model the results. Pan et. al (2004)

If you are interested in doing the "independent study" why don't you
download the source code for the LLNL model or NCAR's CCM3. Verify for
your self that there is nothing funny in the code and then run the
model yourself. The problem is you will get the same results as
everybody else and you don't want those kinds of answer.

The evidence exists. What's it going to take to make you get a science
education so that you can understand it and let the science convince
you like it has most of the scientists who have looked at it?

A model is useless without data measurement,
and only more recent data includes complex data,
older models even simplified by assuming heat from
within the Earth is not exchanged or changing.

And that would be an "independent study"? :-)

Why do it if it has been done before?
There are without a doubt some very dedicated
scientists involved in studies, but they get drowned out
by those trying to promote the idea, some may be very
seriously concerned with the implications.
I would like to know facts, not models, and it
takes raw data to determine facts, some models even
weight the data for various reasons.
The thing that bothers me the most is the idea
that the sum of even the complex data should be a static
thing if man is not involved.
In much of the winter we can get a lot of Arctic
fronts go through here, or a lot of continental fronts
that come across from the Pacific coast, or a regular
mix of both, and there need be no relationship of one
year with the next.
A lot of natural processes are limited by the
physical law, an object cools faster when it is warmer,
and ozone is produced by UV sunlight.
CO2 is being produced, local temperatures
may be changing, but global averages have no meaning
at all, the Sahara is not going to be ice covered very
soon, and Antarctica is not going to have sand dunes,
but things can change, but probably not much more
than the temperatures in the Ohio valley during the
1960's (about 8 degrees F), and I am not aware of
the reason for that change.
It seems like sea-level rise is the big concern,
and it will likely be a problem that will have to be dealt
with, a lot of other processes can cause sea level to
rise and land to sink, there has to be an explanation
for a thick deposit of salt 3000 feet below Lake Erie,
and the fact that the Petrified Forest in Arizona was
below sea level at one time, but is at 5000 feet or more
elevation now.
If people that don't have a clue would stop
treating it as a conversation piece, maybe it would
go away, there are much bigger concerns, like
trying to stay warm tonight in the areas where an
ice storm has downed power lines and the furnace
will not run without power.
It is very difficult to think about global warming
when the temperature is 20 below and there is 3 meters
of snow.

Apparently it was just as hard to think when the temperatures were 115
degrees last summer. Is there any temperature where you can think?

Which you snipped as you didn't like it.
I will paraphrase again for you.
Science deals with theories, which are based on available evidence, are
never absolute and are open to be proven incorrect or replaced with superior
theories at any time.
Faith deals with beliving in something that cannot be proven and is taken as
absolute without any evidence.
Go read Dawkins ffs.

I don't believe that life materialized from a prebiotic soup either.
Both are stories attempting to explain something unknowable.
I have no fucking idea how life on Earth started.
Atheist scientists have no idea how life started on Earth either.
Are you man enough to admit that you have NO idea how life manifested
on earth or are you sticking with an atheist fairy tale?
Both creationists and atheist evolutionists engage in a religious
faith in relation to the origins of life.
The idea that atheist evolutionists make better scientists than
creationists is absurd for that reason.
That's my point, tardboy.

Such as water vapor?
So you have evidence that man cause the earth to warm and end the last ice

You're just too stupid to understand.
Evidence:
ME - Short list of creationist scientists:
YOU - There's no such thing.
Whatever, tard.
More proof that global warming can't stand up to close inspection.
That's your opinion - not evidence.
Seeing as creationism is based on the unproven BELIEF that a guiding
intelligence is required to explain the origin and complexity of nature,
whereas science is defined as systemised knowledge derived from
observation, study and experimentation carried out to determine the nature
and principles of what is being studied, how is it possible to have
creationist scientists ? It just doesn't work - holding creationist beliefs
de facto disqualifies you from being a scientist.
Try to answer the question in future, not dodge it.
What's more, your habitual insults and generally sloppy communication
technique tends to indicate that you don't have the mental faculty to be
party to even join the debate in the first place.
That was 2 deg. F over LAND. Specifically, the first article says
"The estimated temperature change in the continental United States as
a result of change from forests to agriculture is up to a 2-degree
Fahrenheit cooling,"
The US is NOT the world. The global average effect, according to the
article, is about -1/2 deg F.
Still net warmth, and an example of how human activities can affect
the climate.

True, you have to be careful with averaging things. For example, the
average voltage in your wall socket is zero, but will be anywhere
between +170V and -170V at any specific time. Thats why the work is
done (and checked) by professionals.
