My fifth grade teacher used to describe it as the old 'dot' on TVs back then. You turned the TV off, the screen would shrink - but that dot would linger for several minutes before going away.
Ok, ok, he said **I** was like the dot on the TV - even after you've tuned out, it still keeps going.

I am a very caring women, TYVM. Nonetheless, if he would give up so much, he should start with all those private jets he uses.

You guys are great!
Spent a couple of seasons in Antarctica, and spoke with some of the south pole scientists researching global warming...the on going joke is that it is such a heavily funded program, with heaving funding planned long term, so for the next decade or so...there is a global warming problem. When the funding starts being cut...global warming will cease to be a problem.
So I found the equation: Money=Global Warming, Global Warming=Money for Al Gore

ylexot said:Yeah, Racingwolf shut me up in post #3. That's why I posted in posts 4, 5, 6, and 11 and Racingwolf hasn't posted a response.
I love the fact that da*n near every country in the world who has top scientist working on this, who have studied this over and over, are all wrong according to you and your "1 scientist". 113 different scientist study global warming, but you still dont believe humans have anything to do with it. We pollute the h*ll out of the earth, have air quality that is so bad sometimes that we shouldnt even go outside, yet that has nothing to do with the earth warming! Ok, believe what you want to, that is your opinion and you are entitled to it. I just feel sorry for your grandchildren and great granchildren who are going to suffer because we were to stupid to change things when we had the chance. Live in your dream world and make sure you believe Bush and his "scientists" while the rest of the world wakes up and tries to do something about it.

I bowl overhand
What about in the 60's and 70's when we were polluting the atmosphere more, exponentially more, then we are now, and the earth was COOLING, and these same scientists were screaming about the next ice age? Were they right too? Are you suggesting the soution to Global Warming would be going back to the way things were in the 60's and 70's??Racingwolf said:
The temperature, and the weather are cyclic, and right now as history has shown (thousand of years of historical data, not just the last 60 or 70 years) we are in an EXPECTED warming cycle.
Gore found a hot button to use, and it worked.. BaaAAaaHHH

How about this ... Which I found incredible.
A coal fired power plant releases more radiation then ANY nuclear plant.
Nuclear plants are governed as to how much radiation they can emit (undetectable against background radiation) but coal fired plants aren't regulated as to how much radiation they can emit.. WHY?
If the Coal fired plants were regulated as strenuously as nuclear power, they would no longer be an affordable energy source, and nuclear pwoer would move closer to the #1 spot for reliable, affordable and clean energy.

For over the past 200 years, the burning of fossil fuels, such as coal and oil, and deforestation have caused the concentrations of heat-trapping "greenhouse gases" to increase significantly in our atmosphere. These gases prevent heat from escaping to space, somewhat like the glass panels of a greenhouse.
Greenhouse gases are necessary to life as we know it, because they keep the planet's surface warmer than it otherwise would be. But, as the concentrations of these gases continue to increase in the atmosphere, the Earth's temperature is climbing above past levels. According to NOAA and NASA data, the Earth's average surface temperature has increased by about 1.2 to 1.4ºF since 1900. The warmest global average temperatures on record have all occurred within the past 15 years, with the warmest two years being 1998 and 2005. Most of the warming in recent decades is likely the result of human activities. Other aspects of the climate are also changing such as rainfall patterns, snow and ice cover, and sea level.
If greenhouse gases continue to increase, climate models predict that the average temperature at the Earth's surface could increase from 2.5 to 10.4ºF above 1990 levels by the end of this century. Scientists are certain that human activities are changing the composition of the atmosphere, and that increasing the concentration of greenhouse gases will change the planet's climate. But they are not sure by how much it will change, at what rate it will change, or what the exact effects will be. See the Science and Health and Environmental Effects sections of this site for more detail.

Global warming facts obscured by politics
Based on a survey of hundreds of federal climate scientists, the new report Atmosphere of Pressure by UCS and the Government Accountability Project finds wide-ranging political interference in research related to global warming. The report supplements these survey results with dozens of in-depth interviews to detail how climate science is increasingly being tailored to suit political goals.
NOAA
Is the climate warming?
Yes. Global surface temperatures have increased about 0.6°C (plus or minus 0.2°C) since the late-19th century, and about 0.4°F (0.2 to 0.3°C) over the past 25 years (the period with the most credible data). The warming has not been globally uniform. Some areas (including parts of the southeastern U.S.) have, in fact, cooled over the last century. The recent warmth has been greatest over North America and Eurasia between 40 and 70°N. Warming, assisted by the record El Niño of 1997-1998, has continued right up to the present, with 2001 being the second warmest year on record after 1998.
Linear trends can vary greatly depending on the period over which they are computed. Temperature trends in the lower troposphere (between about 2,500 and 26,000 ft.) from 1979 to the present, the period for which Satellite Microwave Sounding Unit data exist, are small and may be unrepresentative of longer term trends and trends closer to the surface. Furthermore, there are small unresolved differences between radiosonde and satellite observations of tropospheric temperatures, though both data sources show slight warming trends. If one calculates trends beginning with the commencement of radiosonde data in the 1950s, there is a slight greater warming in the record due to increases in the 1970s. There are statistical and physical reasons (e.g., short record lengths, the transient differential effects of volcanic activity and El Niño, and boundary layer effects) for expecting differences between recent trends in surface and lower tropospheric temperatures, but the exact causes for the differences are still under investigation (see National Research Council report
Natural Resources Defense Council
Higher temperatures threaten dangerous consequences: drought, disease, floods, lost ecosystems. And from sweltering heat to rising seas, global warming's effects have already begun. But solutions are in sight. We know where most heat-trapping gases come from: power plants and vehicles. And we know how to curb their emissions: modern technologies and stronger laws. NRDC is working to put these fixes in place. By shifting the perception of global warming from abstract threat to pressing reality, and promoting online activism. By pressing businesses to use less energy and build more efficient products. And by fighting for laws that will speed these advances.

LOL al gore is a piece of sh!t. Just like 90% of the other politicians. They do what they do for money. After reading half the reports on global warming i dont believe any of it. Read the report by senator inhofe, i think thats it someone correct me if im wrong.
Heres a good example since say 3 out of 5 of the weatherman said last week we were supposed to get 1-3 inches of snow would you believe them even though it ended up being a dusting. Or the census. I like how vast majority always ends up being a group of 5-105 of the total population or comunity.
Heres another example did any one see the snake episode of king of the hill sunday, put fear in the community so they will agree to fight for "your" cause, so you get the funding.
