Sandi…climate changers cannot tell me if it will be rising oceans or an ice age.

One genius news reporter wanted to know if an asteroid was headed toward earth because of global warming. You see people believe global warming causes everything!

23 – no problem. Skeptics won’t need lifeboats. We’ll just laugh at you in your lifeboat in the middle of a parking lot waiting for the world to end while we go about our business. Probably try to gain from the situation by selling you bottled water and setting up a porta-potty for you to use. Probably sell you blankets and hand fans for use during cyclical climate changes.

If only there was a way to be sure that the skeptics were the last in the lifeboats…

A 2003 research paper published in the journal Science, which studied three ice core samples from Antarctica, shows that there were rising carbon dioxide levels years before there was a rise in temperature. We can argue that this is a natural process, since it was happening far before we starting driving around in our luxury sedans. Another problem is that detailed satellite images were not available until very recently. Yes, weather studies have been around since the mid 19th century, but they were not very accurate and were written observations about what people saw in their back yard. They weren’t able to measure the CO2 levels, accurately judge rising or falling sea levels, or judge the increase or decrease ice shelf. We are looking at a very small sampling or data and making a huge deal of it. The very fact that Al Gore made all this stink about it and then made millions off of selling “carbon credits” immediately discredits the notion in my book.

e wm…You are right. I have studied the facts and watch the lies that are passed of as facts (see Inconvenient Truth) and decide Global Warming to be false. However, I am open minded and would gladly consider any information you present.

But, your response is an example of someone who has no facts to back up his assertions. You got nothing!

Turn off you light and park your car to stop global warmning.

Al, I could offer specifics, but I just don’t think it would matter to you. Honestly, based on your previous posts on this issue, it seems your mind is made up that Climate Change either is false or doesn’t matter. So if I offer specifics, you’d simply find ways to attempt to dismiss, (erroneously) discredit, or reconstruct them to suit your preconceived ideas about the issue…and quite frankly, I’m not inclined to expend the energy.

I wish you well, Sir. Have an excellent evening.

Sandi, our levels of pollution are lower than ever. Our air and water have not been cleaner since the industrial revolution. What level o pollution would you consider acceptable?

I believe the government should maintain and give our economy a chance to recover.

e wm…please provide one of those specific predictions that we might see in our life time. Nothing like…the sea levels will rise 1 inch in 100 years.

BTW, scientists cannot tell me exactly what the temperature will be in three days to 0.2C. Why should I believe they can tell me what it will be in 100 years?

What would make you consider that the levels of pollution matter Al?

#16, global temperature variations have indeed been more pronounced. And I am taking steps to reduce my contribution to Carbon emissions (no, that doesn’t include driving a Prius…I ride my bike more often than I drive) and I rely on solar panels to help generate the electricity I use.

The theory is solid and specific predictions have been made and are being shown to be valid.

Have a great evening with your friend Coal.

So e wm…according to you “the amount of coal burned has increased exponentially, thus increasing the amount of Carbon Dioxide in the atmosphere”. So there is more CO2 than ever in our atmosphere, therefore our planets temperature should be the hottest ever. Nope. And what happened in the 1930s to make it so hot?

Also,

“We do need to turn off or reduce or electricity consumption AND focus on alternative ways to generate electricity.” There is no “we” its you.

If you are so concerned about global warming, then stop stop being a CO2 source. Cut off your power and stop driving, no Prius either. It gets it power from coal fired power. When you guys start doing something personal about global warming, I will take notice. Al Gore still flies around in his jet.

I am comfortable with “Global Warming”. I am a Friend of Coal!

If the theory is solid, some specific prediction could be made. Instead its more/less winter, more/less summer, more/less hurricanes…

Instead its reactive…New England had a snow storm in winter…global warming…floods, must be global warming, tornado, global warming…
