| For the record I have seen Gore's movie, which to me was nothing more than Gore trying to keep an image for himself. He made the film very dramatic as with the aspect of 30meters of sea level rise, uncontrollable temperature variations, more severe disasters(which by the way it seems when we had a mild hurricane season last year global warming was causing it be mild, so which is it more mild disasters, or more severe). It’s bad when the scientist trying to make a statement about how bad it will be can’t even come to some consensus on the models when they all should be using the same data.
Where you here 1000 years ago to know that the glaciers and ice caps may not have existed. I know there are ice core samples but there are bigger parts to the atmospheric temp than CO2. Another thing is that it is very easy to manipulate data, which it seems the global warming nazis manipulate the data quite often to put a model into their favor. Also look at the fact that Gore left out the all important medieval warming trend when temperatures where at least 2-5 degrees hotter than they are now, he used s graph that left this out, and called it a hockey stick. Interesting how he can manipulate a graph to make it seem that today’s warming trend is far greater than any in the past. You also might want to find a graph showing the correlation between CO2 and average temperature, how is it that the temperature raises before the CO2 level does. If CO2 is the main culprit then how does the temperature change without the level of CO2 in the atmosphere doing so first?
Nice job blaming it on the oil industry, because they are the root of all problems (or is it Bush I forget). I will agree we need cleaner, more efficient ways to make energy, not just for an environmental standpoint, but also consider that we have used the same ways to create energy for how long. However a catch 22 is if we stop using fossil fuels we put millions of people out of work, we will put our sole basis of energy on things that are far more expensive, not as efficient, and if we start using new forms that have not been tested long enough we could have a $50 billion fusion generator that doesn’t work properly.
I do believe in global warming, but from the standpoint that man has a massive effect on it I do not believe. The earth has shown in the past that we go through cycles, naturally. Look at time magazine covers from the last century, they switch from global warming to the next ice age in what appears to be every 15-30 years. I know technology is better now but it seems that the scientist today cannot even agree on any correlations between the data and their own models versus each others. How can 100 scientists come up with different numbers, and different models?
Also wiki is not a 100% reliable source neither is mainstream media so you might want to find some new links. On a side note I will be looking forward to the mild summers for the next 12 years or more. |
