NASA: CO2, Not Water Vapor, Causes Global Warming

Oct. 15) -- The Earth's atmosphere is a complicated place. Somewhere in that swirling, shifting mixture of air, water and other gasses is the key to keeping us earthlings alive -- or to cooking us.

Carbon dioxide has always received the most media attention as the leading cause of climate change, and a new study from NASA does more than concur with this assessment: It finds CO2 is overwhelmingly responsible for raising Earth's temperature.

This was the first contribution from the new Muslim scientists at NASA. Their next scientific paper will be that camel dung makes good firewood, especially when cooking over an open fire.

They are sponsoring a new TV show called “Cave Hunters” where they choose between three caves which one to buy. They generally like the open floor plans, neutral colors, while not too light they are airy. While crown molding is rare, the natural stone floors are to die for (usually by beheading or stoning).

“The researchers built a model for Earth’s atmosphere and the heat it absorbed, and then ran it with differing levels of noncondensing gasses. With water vapor alone, the greenhouse effect collapsed and the model froze over.”

Is this the same model that can’t predict tomorrow’s weather?

May or may not be related.

These monkeys flubber the distinction between scenarios and forecasts/predictions.

Lemme guess, James Hansen wrote the report?

No but Lacis the Author has built models for Hansen before.

I don't suppose this has ANYthing to do with climate change?

In 2014 they will announce a new study that shows they were wrong now...but this will only happen when we eliminate the Progressives from office.

CO2 is a follow-on effect...CO2 is not affecting temperature. These sames idiots thought plugging the hole in the ozone was the right thing to do...they put in a chemical that retains 15,000 times the amount of heat at what was there naturally and then realized the hole is a heat release mechanism and perfectly natural as our systems balance themselves out.

Over time they will find the sun is most responsible for climate impacts on all celestial bodies orbiting it. Venus, Mars, etc are all experiencing climate change as we are.

To add to the fraud that has happened with the stratetgic placment of over 4500 heat sensors and the deliberate disqualification of any heat sensor that recorded lower than desired temperatures...the entire monitoring program is a fraud.

We don’t have enough data, we don’t have enough accurate data and until we get the Progressives out of the scientific process we will never return to actual science.

There is absolutely nothing we can do as humans to stem any climatic change - God equipped us with the ability to adapt and that is where we need to spend the money understand and learning how to adapt.

It won’t be until we actually terraform another planet before we actually begin to understand the complexity of our climate and understand the variables that can be tinkered with to achieve a desired effect.

The credibility of the Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) is totally in the toilet, because of the hysterics of their chairman James E. Hansen. Not only has he been personally implicated in data corruption and distortion, but he has filled the ranks of GISS with “true believers”.

“You seem to regard science as some kind of dodge, or hustle. Your theories are the worst kind of popular tripe, your methods are sloppy, and your conclusions are highly questionable! You are a poor scientist, Dr. Hansen.”

If this is NASA promoting this pseudo science BS, you might start to believe the moon landings were filmed on a sound stage.

Out of all the B.S. thrown at us by b*stards who wrongfully claim authority over us, this environmental movement/green agenda/sustainability garbage is what galls and scares the most.

We all knew that after Climategate (which was buried by the mainstream media) they would regroup, repackage it, and continue to push onward, but it p.o.’s me to no end, bucause this is one of the primary, if not the primary, vehicles for their globalist enslavement agenda...and they keep pushing, and pushing and pushing...grrrrrrrrrrrr!

Their lies were exposed with Climategate (and by those who used their brains long before that), so why should anybody trust anything they say now?!

At this point, I wouldn’t trust NASA to give us an unbiased report on Global Warming. The leftist Obama Administrator has already had its hand in the EPA, declaring CO2 a pollutant. I certainly would not put it beyond them to twist NASA’s arm to give the results they want to hear. Do you honestly think Obama would let them publish a report if the results came out the opposite?

NASA has been deemed a muslim outreach program for political causes. The people who can fund NASA hold the pursestrings and they are global warming nuts....ergo....NASA had adopted what they require of NASA.

something, somewhere is going to get us eventually, the magnetic field swaps, the core solidifies, solar flare, supernova from the other side of the galaxy, rouge black hole, giant asteroid, cosmic ray burst from ancient quasar, Andromeda galaxy is going to collide with our own in a few hundred million years. The end is coming, there is not a thing that we can do about it and it is human folly to think we can possible even effect in the slightest the outcome. Enjoy today, tomorrow our decedents are toast if we do not get off this rock
