Interesting Global Warming Battle

SENATOR INHOFE ANNOUNCES PUBLIC RELEASE OF “SKEPTIC’S GUIDE TO DEBUNKING GLOBAL WARMING”

Ok, so there are a few dissenting persons about the global warming debate.

Here is my question, at what point do we start to reduce CO2 levels? I've linked this graph before:

When do we reach a threshold that we can't return from? Humans are the cause for those CO2 levels increasing and we are running an experiment without a control. When do we reach a point of uncontrollable change? Are we just willing to ride it out?

Inhofe can bring up "scientific articles" from TIME magazine over the last 100 years about predictions that never happened. But he never mentions the Ozone hole. We created it, figured out what the solution was, and now it is healing.

Humans can and are affecting the global climate. Most Americans already realize this and that's part of the reason why foolish men like Inhofe are being shown the door.

Read my post again.

Okay... I read it again. Now what?

Yeah...so? Plants and animals affect the global climate as well. Minerals in soil affect the global climate. In fact, everything that makes up part of the Earth and it's inhabitants affects global climate.

Again I ask - so?

What it says is understand the problem before you try to fix it.

Wow! Data going all the way back to 1960!

If everyone stops breathing for a day, we can reduce CO2 emissions. Lets have an international day of autoerotic asphexiation.

Since the NOAA research estimates that 97% of atmospheric CO2 created each year is from natural sources (like people breathing) and approximately 3% is from human activities, we could make an impact.

It's not the 1960 that made me snort - it's the location. Since Mauna Loa is an active volcano that erupts fairly regularly, I'm not convinced it's the best test site to "prove" man-made global warming.

Atmospheric carbon dioxide derives from multiple natural sources including volcanic outgassing

Truby, are you embarrassed yet? Or are you thirsty for more?

UN downgrades man's impact on the climate

Looks like the UN is starting to back away from the hysteria...

Nor is wikipedia, where any Yuccapuck with a keyboard can enter false or erroneous information, a good source to quote.

Currently, the Senate is holding hearings on global warming and there are some interesting articles:

They should hold it outside where it's freakin COLD!!!

I bought my 5 "special" lightbulbs......I did my part. Y'all are welcome.

What it says is understand the problem before you try to fix it.

And I suppose you would have to believe there is a problem in the first place.

 

[ylexot]

And I suppose you would have to believe there is a problem in the first place.

That would be what is called a "hypothesis".

Maybe al gore should get off his ass and find a way to convert co2 back inot fossil fuels and oxygen if he is that critical about how we affect the worlds climate. I think its funny to see politicians and the media corrupting the people that they serve into thinking that everything is alot worse than it is. Everytime i see something about a shooting, robery, crime sprees and all the other bs i wonder where were they at when the cops where looking for a suspect in other areas, its always confined to one specific area. Its always the same every year its just a different threat west nile, the flu, pedophiles, every year they change there main focus what happened the year after the west nile scare i didnt hear about it but maybe once the next year, put fear into the people so they will listen for the next thing to be affraid of. I get better news covereage through here than i do watching the news on tv.
