    Default Man-made Global Warming?

    Was Newsweek wrong back then?

    Was Newsweek wrong? Or is it more factual that the Earth has been cooling and warming without man's interference?

    It's not new for Newsweek to be wrong.

    Especially when they report ANYTHING which libs don't already believe

    “… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

    Stating that the world is heating and cooling on it's own does nothing to prove or disprove that man is contributing to the heating and cooling.

    A ball will roll down a hill because of gravity, but if I push it one way, it will roll faster; the other, slower.

    Right. So this raises a few questions:

    How do you quantify the effects of global warming with respect to man made global warming and natural cycles?

    Are we causing 5%, 12%, 95% or are we actually adding enough CO2 into the atmosphere to overcome a cooling period? Who knows. No one has attempted to quantify the effects of man.

    Secondly, the really funny question is : what is the temperature on earth supposed to be? That question will NEVER be answered by the alarmists.
