I think the blogger is desperately seeking attention. The debate over global warming has ended. The scientific evidence is abundant. Of course there will always be a segment of the population that believes it is a myth. These same people also tend to believe that the moon landing was faked and that the earth is about 6,000 years old.
Love the argument that when a person doesn't buy into a particular notion that it's ok to toss absurd statements like,
"these same people also tend to believe that the moon landing was faked and that the earth is about 6,000 years old," into the equation. All you're doing is trying to belittle anyone who disagrees with you. It will NEVER work, I can assure you of that.
NO the scientific evidence is NOT all in. Thousands upon thousands (tens of thousands actually) of scientists have gone on the record to say that global warming has nothing to do with man, and more importantly, CO2. CO2 has NEVER driven temperature. As a matter of fact, CO2 actually lags temperature by about 100 years (I believe that the number, but would have to look to say it 100%). If I am off, it doesn't change the fact that temperature drives CO2.
The ocean and volcanoes release the vast majority of CO2 that's in Earth's atmosphere. CO2 is only one gas that makes up the greenhouse gases in our atmosphere and it only makes up a very small percentage of all greenhouse gases. Then when oceans and volcanoes make up the vast majority of that TINY greenhouse gas, it's absurd to believe that man causes temps to rise.
Historically speaking (assuming you don't selectively make a hockey chart graph like Al Gore did that totally ignored the entire ice core record), what we are going thru (or should I say went thru?) is nothing new. The planet has ALWAYS gone thru these types of temperature changes.
It's also interesting to note that the temperature peaked in 1998. This was OVER a decade ago, yet we're so foolish that we can't see that?
I'm sure you'll hang on to ice caps eroding and such, but that too is nothing new.
Solar rays have the most effect on the temperature.
So, when we get the sun, the oceans and volcanoes (among other causes) under control, then maybe we'll stand a chance of fighting an imaginary global warming.
As for the debate being over, the only person who believes that is Al Gore. Scientists have asked him, have even BEGGED him to debate the issue, but he simply refuses. As a matter of fact, the man who started the weather channel had thought about suing Gore because of his carbon tax credits JUST to get him under oath so he could answer questions.
Oh, and there are more scientists who have gone on the record stating global warming is not man made than sat on the panel who decided it's some catastrophic event waiting to happen. AND, lest we not forget, environmental activists also sat on the panel that was put in charge to determine if GW is really happening. How ridiculous is that. Politicians also sat on that panel. These people simply were NOT qualified to make such a determination, not to mention they went in with a bias so they most definitely had ulterior motives.
Some scientists who did sit on the IPCC panel have had to threaten a lawsuit to have their names removed from the list of scientists who deemed GW was a huge threat.
Even scientists who have retired from NASA have been speaking out. Once they retired, there were no repercussions.
So, maybe you're just one of those who refuse to look at the facts and then just espouse the same boring rhetoric?
