    Default Scientists now worried about Global Cooling? Huh...

    I can't wait to hear the Al Gore Kool-aid-drinking sheeple (liberals) on this board reply to this one...

    "Solar activity has overpowered any effect that CO2 has had before, and it most likely will again," Patterson says. "If we were to have even a medium-sized solar minimum, we could be looking at a lot more bad effects than 'global warming' would have had."

    Fire and Ice


    Some say the world will end in fire,
    Some say in ice.
    From what I've tasted of desire
    I hold with those who favor fire.
    But if it had to perish twice,
    I think I know enough of hate
    To say that for destruction ice
    Is also great
    And would suffice.

    It's like I've said over and over again. Solar activity correlates with temperature far more closely than CO2. Could it be that maybe, just maybe, that enormous ball of fire in the sky that beats down on our faces all day and is responsible in the 100 swing between seasons just might have more to do with the temperature than an invisible gas that all living things have exhaled for billions of years?

    Climate change - as in it can go up or down. Where I am it's getting hotter and drier earlier and for longer, your experiences may be different.

    One day I'll be able to work out why some folks see this as a political or ideological issue rather than something to be dealt with objectively.

    How do you change the climate...by throwing money at it(which is what the politicians want), or diminishing our way of life...(which is what the environmentalist want) ??

    Why do we need to do either, when climate change is a natural phenomenon..

    NOBODY is going to tell mother earth what her climate will be...she will decide that for herself...

    And us humans will adapt with the changes, we always have..

    Check out "Inconvenient Truth" by Al Gore. No responsible scientist disputes his overall observations.

    Cheer up, Staphy, the climate in your part of the country is warming and I hope you don't find your home underwater in the next century or so. What about your grandkids, for God's sake? Did you do your duty to protect the environment for them?

    Get a grip...
    I do my share to protect the environment, but there isn't a damn thing we can do about climate change...it's been happening for millions of yrs...and us humans won't be able to do a damn thing about it...except adapt with it like we always have or die...pfeeeesh...

    ...
    Not quite true:

    http://epw.senate.gov/public/index.c...4-B364B623ADA3

    ...

    Rank-and-file scientists are now openly rebelling. James Spann, a certified meteorologist with the AMS, openly defied the organization when he said in January that he does "not know of a single TV meteorologist who buys into the man-made global warming hype." In February a panel of meteorologists expressed unanimous climate skepticism, and one panelist estimated that 95% of his profession rejects global warming fears.

    In August 2007, a comprehensive survey of peer-reviewed scientific literature from 2004-2007 revealed "Less Than Half of all Published Scientists Endorse Global Warming Theory."

    "Of 539 total papers on climate change, only 38 (7%) gave an explicit endorsement of the consensus. If one considers 'implicit' endorsement (accepting the consensus without explicit statement), the figure rises to 45%. However, while only 32 papers (6%) reject the consensus outright, the largest category (48%) are neutral papers, refusing to either accept or reject the hypothesis. This is no 'consensus,'" according to an August 29, 2007 article in Daily Tech.

    In addition, a September 26, 2007 report from the international group Institute of Physics' finds no "consensus" on global warming. Here is an excerpt: "As world leaders gathered in New York for a high-level UN meeting on climate change, a new report by some of the world's most renowned scientists urges policymakers to keep their eyes on the "science grapevine", arguing that their understanding of global warming is still far from complete." The Institute of Physics is also urging world leaders "to remain alert to the latest scientific thought on climate change."
