500 Scientists Counter Al Gore

I know the in-house libs of dp won't like to see this, but 500 scientists have countered Al Bore on "Man-made" global warming:

A great thread, thought it needed a refresher:


WASHINGTON, Sept. 12 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- A new analysis of peer-reviewed literature reveals that more than 500 scientists have published evidence refuting at least one element of current man-made global warming scares. More than 300 of the scientists found evidence that 1) a natural moderate 1,500-year climate cycle has produced more than a dozen global warmings similar to ours since the last Ice Age and/or that 2) our Modern Warming is linked strongly to variations in the sun's irradiance. "This data and the list of scientists make a mockery of recent claims that a scientific consensus blames humans as the primary cause of global temperature increases since 1850," said Hudson Institute Senior Fellow Dennis Avery.

Other researchers found evidence that 3) sea levels are failing to rise importantly; 4) that our storms and droughts are becoming fewer and milder with this warming as they did during previous global warmings; 5) that human deaths will be reduced with warming because cold kills twice as many people as heat; and 6) that corals, trees, birds, mammals, and butterflies are adapting well to the routine reality of changing climate.
Despite being published in such journals such as Science, Nature and Geophysical Review Letters, these scientists have gotten little media attention. "Not all of these researchers would describe themselves as global warming skeptics," said Avery, "but the evidence in their studies is there for all to see."

Yup.. I love how the libs avoided this one.. lol

Global Warming or Global Climate Change, doesn't need anyone's permission to be. You can agree with it or deny it, but it won't make a lick of difference to it.

So.... where do you think all of those glaciers disappeared to? Do you think they will return any time soon?

Maybe you'd like to comment on what these men have to say...

Climate Change Worries Military Advisers
Morning Edition, April 16, 2007

We're used to hearing scientists warn us about climate change. Now a group of retired generals and admirals says global warming could provoke serious national security threats.

Climate change could create land loss, mass migrations, loss of natural resources, and increased demands on water that may exacerbate or cause conflict — "all things that could have some sort of effect on our security interests around the world," says retired Gen. Anthony Zinni, a member of the military advisory panel.

"Even a small change of 2 to 3 degrees in one direction could be the difference between a management problem [and] a catastrophe," Zinni tells Renee Montagne.

...snip

Following is a summary of the advisory panel's findings and recommendations:

Findings

1. Projected climate change poses a serious threat to America's national security.

2. Climate change acts increases the potential instability in some of the most volatile regions of the world.

3. Projected climate change will boost tensions even in stable regions.

4. Climate change, national security and energy dependence are a related set of global challenges.

Recommendations

1. Climate change should be integrated into national security and national defense strategies.

2. The United States should vow to help stabilize climate changes at levels that will avoid significant disruption to global security and stability.

3. The United States should commit to global partnerships that help less-developed nations better manage climate impacts.

4. The Department of Defense should speed adoption of improved business processes and innovative technologies that boost U.S. combat power through energy efficiency.

5. The Pentagon should assess the impact on U.S. military installations worldwide of rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and other possible climate change impacts over the next 30 to 40 years.

some people have fun with their family and friends on weekends... others stay inside all alone, pounding away on their keyboards hoping someone will pay attention to them...



I had a great weekend... how about you?

Let's see... a right winged think tank says there's no such thing as global warming and all the righties celebrate.

There are quite a few effects that we will all be facing with global warming. Droughts, wildfires, insect infestations, and floods to name four...

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the south eastern United States in one of it's worst droughts in decades? And how about all that midwest flooding? Some of the worst ever...

Is it all cyclical as the right wingers like to claim? so what if it is?

we are going to have to do something to stop it's toll on our civilization or else we will be going the way of the Atlanteans...

Really, where in the link did it mention there is no such thing as global warming?

Exactly what did they say about man made global warming?

Directing that to a guy who hardly even posts is just silly. You must really be upset by his message.

Why don't you point that particular finger at our resident conspiracy theorist, TM, who had the record of number of posts for a few days running? And wacked-out ones at that.

Come on man. I usually respect your opinion but this outfit has Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert Redford and James Taylor on its board. This somehow makes me a little suspect of their agenda.

I have to rely on them, I'm hopeless with science but I can absorb stuff that explains things to me.

ps, I doubt Stripey is going to answer this.

What about the 5,000 or so that say that 10% is nuts?
