Hugh Conway Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 it's snowing in salt lake right now. just sayin... greater climatic variability and an increase in the severity of storms? None of the Global Warming models predict that.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of the Global Warming models predict that.......... It's not called "Global Warming" anymore, but "Climate Change". Then you can blame all severe weather on George Bush.

Fairweather Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Sorry Steven, but the onus of proof falls on the group making the claim. I hear a lot about these "scientists" claiming they know with certainty, yet I haven't spoken to a single professor in person who's not at least somewhat skeptical. I'll grant that most of these teach astronomy and/or physics, but the point is, there are a lot more educated folks than you think out there who aren't convinced.

Fairweather Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Disconcerting as it may be to true believers in global warming, the average temperature on Earth has remained steady or slowly declined during the past decade, despite the continued increase in the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide, and now the global temperature is falling precipitously discuss More glaciers to climb? Sweet! From a peer-reviewed article (Pike et al. 2008) I was reading just today: "The recent rate of glacial loss in the Coast Mountains is approximately double that observed for the previous two decades". Hmm? There could be other factors at work besides ambient temperature. Think soot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sobo Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 I chopped down some rain forest, clubbed a baby seal, sponsored a whale hunt, drilled for oil in the ANWR, bought an H4, took a ride in the Concorde, and I didn't recycle a goddamned thing all day. Then I had sex in a pile of 50 sweaty people that I didn't know from Adam, none of whom were wearing deorderant. Did I miss anything? what...no meth? Ooooooo, yer right! OK, so I take back what I said about not recycling a damned thing. I recycled my piss so I could refine the meth out of it. Then I got high on the new batch of meth I made from it. Then pulled out a few teeth... rather easily, I might add. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TREETOAD Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 [b]Sorry Steven, but the onus of proof falls on the group making the claim. Apparently this is is not the case if you are claiming that some country is affiliated with a terrorist organization, or is hiding atomic or biologic weapons. Also not the case if you are claiming you landed a man on the moon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STP Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 (edited) Alarmism: Gore's Inconvenient Truth "Hurricane Expert Reassesses Link to Warming By Andrew C. Revkin New OrleansNew Orleans after Katrina struck. (Associated Press) A fresh study by a leading hurricane researcher has raised new questions about how hurricane strength and frequency might, or might not, be influenced by global warming. Eric Berger of the Houston Chronicle nicely summarized the research on Friday. Kerry EmanuelKerry Emanuel of M.I.T. (Jodi Hilton for The New York Times) The research is important because the lead author is Kerry Emanuel, the M.I.T. climate scientist who in the 1980’s foresaw a rise in hurricane intensity in a human-warmed world and in 2005, just a few weeks before Hurricane Katrina swamped New Orleans, asserted in a Nature paper that he had found statistical evidence linking rising hurricane energy and warming. That work was supported by some subsequent studies, but refuted by others. Despite the uncertainty in the science, hurricanes quickly became a potent icon in environmental campaigns, as well as in “An Inconvenient Truth,” the popular climate documentary featuring former Vice President Al Gore. The message was that global warming was no longer a looming issue and was exacting a deadly toll now.. --source: Hurricances and...
