Global Warming

[Exterminator]

You get abused b/c you set yourself up. I submit that the source doean't matter to you. It could be a source of the highest authority and you'd say, "That doesn't prove anything" and follow up with "because I believe". You've done it countless times. In fact, you even went as far as saying that you get your information from YOUR observations and "common sense". Surely I don't have to tell you how skewed your information is when you disregard anything that doesn't parrot what you'd like to believe. You're not inquisitive and the empirical evidence is contained w/in your posts in this form.   

Still trying to teach the pig to dance, eh?

I tried lipstick and perfume and neither worked.


Wasted days and wasted nights...

  Yeah, that's like the city boy and country boy was out looking the farm boy's pigs.  The city boy says, I hear you guy make love to these pigs.  The farm boy says Yep!  We don't have many girls clear out here and we got to find some relief.  The city boy said, your got to be kidding me.  The country said, if you haven't tried it don't knock it.

  Well, the city boy grabbed on and started to make love to it.  The farm boy said, how you doing.  Not very good, I have no feelings for her.  The farm boy said, no wonder. You got the ugliest one in the pen.

Los Angeles, California,  has broken the all-time record high temperature of  112F with a temperature of 113F at 12:15pm PDT.  Their temperature could rise more through the afternoon.

Yeah, it's been extremely and unusually hot in San Diego as well.

After one of the hottest summers ever in the Washington-Baltimore region, heat records continued to fall Friday, two days after autumn's arrival.

The temperature at Reagan National Airport, Washington's official observing station, soared to 99 degrees, blazing past the record of 94 set in 1970. The 99-degree reading at the airport is the highest on record this late in the year and the hottest temperature ever recorded after Sept. 8.

Check out the repeat photograph project by the NPS. Glacier National Park once boasting 150 glaciers is now down to 25 and falling. . .

  You got to be kidding me.  Hell there is no global warming.  I heard Rush said it was all bullshit.  There is no global warming.  Right?  Snicker, snicker.

I find it kind of frustrating to see people who outwardly seem normal, lose their friggin minds when the topic of global warming comes up. They refuse to even consider what the very best science in the world is telling us, that the average annual temperature on this planet is rising, and well above those temperatures this planet has been subjected to throughout its entire history!

The first thing they do is point out a couple of jackasses who "tweaked" information, and say it discredits all of the information.

Okay idiots, look at the pictures in the above post, (which I am attaching below). That should be simple enough to understand for you no?

Okay idiots...

I wonder who the idiots are sometimes....WHO, is saying that warming does not exist?  I certainly haven't. That WOULD be idiotic to claim that.

I have merely stated MAN is not the blame....WE, cannot fix this natural occurance that is happening.  We can contribute to making this a better place, but we cannot STOP everything that pollutes...we can't do it...and even if we did....we would STILL have warming going on.  So, posing new legislation, and TAXES to "offset" carbon footprints is nothing more than a political power grab.

Now see, ya made me get all riled up, and break a promise to myself...

[Palehorse]

Not political nor theological. It is an environmental term. . .

How do you know such a thing is the truth? In the planets entire history the only differences in its population are directly related to humankind and "his" byproducts. Extinctions, deforestation, pollution, and so many more. . .

When the historical records indicate that the temperatures have been climbing and that fact coincides with the "milestones" of humanity, its pretty easy to see the connection.

And while those same records indicate a cyclical temperature swing that contain periods of heating and cooling, none of those swings have been as drastically out of range as those we are encountering now. And they are steadily getting worse.

Instead of trying to find the truth to these matters and determine the root cause, it is easier to assume a political position and hold it in spite of mounting evidence to the contrary. . .  How selfish of humanity to do so, and how idiotic!

  Well, we did a way with pollution in Pittsburg and Gary and with that, we did away with the jobs that caused the pollution.  The sky is clear and blue and it's hungry there now.  With no jobs.

A thought:

Premise: Mankind's rise to domination of the Earth is predicated upon the use of his brain to find ways to adapt to his environment.

If he is unable to use that tool to recognize and adapt to a changing environment, then his domination is over.

Even his prolific ability to replicate himself is detrimental to long-term survivability.

He will disappear, like so many other species he has caused to become extinct.

Nowhere will there be a requiem.

Actually the eruptions of major volcanoes have historically resulted in climate change and to the best of my knowledge volcanoes are a result of nature, not man. This is not to say that it is impossible for man to initiate a volcanic eruption. I suppose that a thermonuclear device detonated in a strategic location might do the trick. These massive eruptions have spewed many times more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere than all of mankind since the dawn of the industrial revolution. The ash in the upper atmosphere kept the sun from warming the Earth and some believe was the cause of several mini ice ages. Other than speculation based on a cause and effect premise, I have yet to see any conclusive data that supports the theory that carbon dioxide is directly correlated to global warming. I read yesterday that Russia is expecting the coldest winter in over 1000 years this season due to the lack of gulf stream winds to push up that cold arctic air. Climate itself is dynamic in nature, ever changing with time. It is also important to note that some scientists are not unlike politicians, if not outright lying they often manipulate data to fit their theories. This is equally true for both sides of the global warming debate. Simply put, we just don't know everything despite our human arrogance.

That said, I read today that oddly enough the preliminary findings of solar activity has less to do with climate change than previously thought. This is bad news for global warming skeptics who based the level of solar activity as a cause for climate change.
