Global Warming Coverage: Science Left Behind

CNN and USA Today have already declared the global warming debate over, and they’re not alone. Media coverage leading up to the G-8 Summit, beginning July 6, has been based on the assumptions that human-caused global warming is occurring and it must be curbed.

The Group of Eight major economic powers meets annually to discuss global issues and map out plans for the year. The United Kingdom took the rotating presidency of the G8 in January 2005, and Prime Minister Tony Blair has said Africa and climate change are the main issues on the summit agenda.

“There’s quite seriously a big lobbying effort going on here,” said Iain Murray, a senior fellow who studies global climate change for the Competitive Enterprise Institute. Murray said the media are being “bombarded with propaganda” from groups seeking to influence the G-8, and science is getting lost in the shuffle.

Reuters reported in a June 28, 2005, article carried on CNN.com that “global warming is widely blamed on emissions of heat-trapping gases from cars, factories and power plants – gases mostly spewed from the rich world.”

But that contradicted historical warming and cooling patterns, said Dr. Sallie Baliunas of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. Baliunas worked on a review of climate change studies published in the journal Climate Research in 2003. The review found evidence of a warm period about 1,000 years ago as well as a cooling period about 500 years ago.

I love this stuff (about as much as I love moldy bread). Global warming can be predicted.... yet even a 3 day forecast for one city is not concrete, let alone a 10 day forecast. Hey look, it's Captain Contradiction!

Let's see earth's diameter is 7926 miles in diameter with a volume of 260,711,882,675 cubic miles. The atmosphere is 310-620 miles with a volume of 64,943,074,779 -142,500,660,120 CUBIC MILES!

The couple of thousand cubic miles over a city cannot be predicted several days in advanced due to so many variables, yet some "scientists" say they can predict global warming with BILLIONS of CUBIC MILES with countless variables. The global warmers are lying parasitic intellectuals that are a waste of clean air.

Attention liberals, if you wish to maintain your argument, don't use any facts or figures. Validated facts will contradict you. If they are from a global warming person, their study will either lack scientific method or be based on "what if" scenarios. Emotions won't work on me, just look at my typically long posts. I don't feel bad about people having to read it. I prefer to present data and let a person THINK for themselves.
