Global Warming

[Henry Hawk]

No, but we wouldn't pretend it isn't true if presented with overwhelming empirical evidence.

But the weather changes we are experiencing, such as this week, here in Indiana, has NO overwhelming empirical evidence that it was caused by man-made circumstances.

It's the same study that found that the moon is made of green cheese. 

Is the moon made of green cheese?

(the scientific evidence)

The landings of Apollo 11 and Apollo 12 on the moon sent shock waves through the moon's surface, which were detected on a seismograph. By measuring the speed of shock waves through rock (known as the seismic velocity), the density of the rock can be estimated. The higher the seismic velocity, the denser the rock. Seismic velocities for moon "rock" were compared to those of rocks from various locations. The results were published in Science, and are shown below:

Seismic Velocities

Lunar________________Seismic Velocity (km/sec)
Basalt 10017.....................1.84
Basalt 10046.....................1.25
Near surface layer..............1.2

Terrestrial rocks_______Seismic Velocity (km/sec)

Granite...............................5.9
Gneiss................................4.9
Basalt.................................5.8
Sandstone...........................4.9
Marble................................6.02
Limestone...........................5.06-5.97

It is clear from this that moon "rock" is considerably less dense than any type of rock found on earth. The scientists then decided to examine the seismic velocities of various cheeses from around the world. Some of the results are shown below:

Cheese_______________Seismic Velocity (km/sec)

Sapsego (Swiss).................2.12
Romano (Italy)....................1.74
Cheddar (Vermont).............1.72
Muenster (Wisconsin)..........1.57

Great study!!

[Henry Hawk]

Sounds like a study done by the IPCC....

Sounds like a study done by the IPCC....

Thousands of scientists and other experts contribute (on a voluntary basis, without payment from the IPCC) to writing and reviewing reports, which are reviewed by representatives from all the governments, with a Summary for Policymakers being subject to line-by-line approval by all participating governments. Typically this involves the governments of more than 120 countries.

The IPCC does not carry out its own original research, nor does it do the work of monitoring climate or related phenomena itself. A main activity of the IPCC is publishing special reports on topics relevant to the implementation of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change

I was just being sarcastic...

Sure ....

The UN, there is a trust worthy organization to believe in.  Anyone who believes in this global warming hoax would believe them.

What is "uncalled for" is to plead ignorance and ask for indulgence for your butchery of the English language on one hand, and then wish to be taken seriously for your half-cracked homespun wisdom about serious scientific studies on the other. If you wish to be taken seriously then express yourself that way.

If you insist on writing like a school child, you will be chastised like one.

I admire your apparent optimism (after all this time) that some knowledge might seep through the cracks.

Great study!!

Thanks! I wouldn't exactly characterize it as optimism, though. 

[Henry Hawk]

I have, some time ago, come to the conclusion, that the IPCC is nothing more that a group of propagandist who are lead by "politicians" from 120 countries, who have a MUCH lager agenda of developing a "one world" government.  Most of these countries despise the United States and want the opportunity to bring us down to their level.  There has just been too many scandals and corruption tied to the IPCC, nor do I have a trust in the UN.
Once again, I am quite certain, I am wasting time of sharing my thoughts on here regarding this, but I just call things as I see them.  I also believe, TIME will present the truth on this subject....

Anyone ever wonder if sunspots have much to do with weather?
