My coin analogy was perhaps not well chosen. All I was trying to point out with it was that past trends do not necessarily predict future performance. But you probably knew that.
I’m a global warming skeptic myself, but there is no precedent for our addition of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. We can’t look back at what happened last time.
I’m a skeptic not because I believe adding all these gases will have no effect, but because I don’t believe we know how to predict, much less quantify, any effect.
Yeah, I don’t think water from a single comet would amount to very much on a global scale. I would also think that if one was big enough it would have to have a gravitational effect on the earths orbit. A comet that big with that much water would probably not even be called a comet.
Not to mention that those pesky caribu have been exhaling CO2 for thousands of years and getting away with it too!!! Moe, Larry, quick, more grant money,,quick, quick!!!!!
Now we’re on the same page, I think.
I don’t think that we are presently causing a runaway greenhouse scenario like the Gore followers would like us to believe, but I also don’t think we helping our atmosphere sustain life either with our polution.
There has been more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere in the past, and we still had ice ages. But of course we are not just talking carbon dioxide now, there’s much worse stuff we’re pumping into the sky.
There’s no telling what damage we are doing since there is no precedent as far as the other gases and elements go, but I’m not ready to jump off Al Gores cliff yet.
And all of that caribou flatulence also. All of that methane is causing artifacts to be trampled over!!
We need to pass legislation that limit the amount of farting these over grown rats with antlers produce!
Not in Alaska.
From Wikipedia -
The Mackenzie Mountains are a mountain range forming part of the Yukon-Northwest Territories boundary between the Liard and Peel rivers. The range is named in honour of Canada’s second Prime Minister Alexander Mackenzie. Nahanni National Park Reserve is in the Mackenzie Mountains.
I’m also a skeptic because I don’t believe the solutions proposed are likely to have benefits that outweigh the costs.
I’m also surprised by how little debate there is in the “global warming community” about what is an appropriate solution. It seems there is some secret group that sends out the proper answers and everybody just chimes in. Very strange.
They were - after the ice receded, they found these guys there ... ehh, Hoser ???
And the solutions proposed get shot down as fast as they surface.
Ted Kennedy tried to stop a windmill farm from going up off the coast of New England because he might be able to see them on a clear day with binoculars.

Does global warming need to be cured?
Is the cure real?
Can we ever say that we caused the cure?
I think we forget that we're dots in this awesome undulating universe.

Thanks El Sordo for the ping, and thanks cajuncow for the FReepmailed link about this. The bow is over three hundred years old (not ancient) but the arrow is only somewhat over two hundred years old. Proves that humans discovered the bow at least one hundred years before they discovered the arrow. ;') |

I get it! Sorta like hunters using guns as clubs until someone came along and invented gunpowder?
