Has CO2 warmed the planet at all in the last 50 years? It’s harder to tell than you think.

and changes in the Sun cause climate change. And there is not a damn thing humans can do to stop it.

Unfortunately, no, not solar warming. Solar warming is not a bad thing if you live in Europe or northern Aasia or even Canada. But there is no Global Warming. Forget all that you have ever heard on the subject from the media, it is a lie.

The fact of the matter is that climate changes. It changes in cycles. Man is not big enough to change the climate of the earth, not yet anyway.

The fact is that we are not warming. We certainly have not warmed in the last 15 years and it appears instead that we are cooling. People take vacations to warm places, only skiers go to cold places. Soon the cold places will be coming to the skiers. A Mini-Ice Age or even a full fledged Ice Age can happen in as little as 20 years, some astrophysicists claim that it happens even faster than that.

I don’t like ice in my front yard. It looks like all of us better get used to it real soon. We may well be headed for a Dalton or even a Maunder type mini-ice age. I wish it weren’t so but it seems it is.

I know real estate is not selling well right now but if I lived above the Mason Dixon line I think I would seriously find a reason to move south.

I know it sounds silly, just as silly as Al Gore and global warming but I would suggest that if you really want to know a little about it and be scared half out of your wits, go to “http://www.landscheidt.info/?q=node/189"; and start reading. The facts will scare you.

Dinosaur gases 'warmed the Earth'

When you've got several tons of swamp plant-munching lizard letting 'er rip
the effects can be long lasting!

First of all, the sun warms the planet.
Second, a small moderation of these effects is from greenhouse gases, the most import of which is water vapor. Since 70% of the earth’s surface is water, water is the dominating green house gas, unlike the crap that liberal morons would feed you.

The 1930s were really hot on the high plains! look at these temps for Tulsa, OK at that time before air conditioning!

I remember the enviro-whackos claiming that freon was the culprit.

When industry stopped using freon the enviro-whackos suddenly said, “Oops! We were wrong. It wasn’t the freon, it is the CO2!”

Not many people on the left can see this obvious lie.

Well, regardless if it is or is not, one thing is certain—huge taxes and regulations are needed, just in case.

CO2 is the industrial gas. Who hates industry. Who hates growth. Who hates america. Whose pushing the AGW/IPCC CO2 scam. SOCIALIST ANTI-AMERICAN DEMOCRATS. There is not enough CO2 in the earth’s atmosphere to cause any meaningful warming and there will not be in the future. CO2 regulates itself naturally. That is something the socialist left does not want to hear. This CO2 scam follows a series of other scams propagated by the socialist democrats, OZONE HOLE, ACID RAIN. Their next scam will be water and water pollution caused by evil man.

“Even most skeptics agree that the world has been warming during the last 50 years”

No, they do not. This is just another attempt to incrementally lie and claim “everyone knows it”. No, everyone does not know it. In fact, many believe the world is actually cooling.

This is also an incremental attempt to say there is no evidence and that warming is “difficult” to prove. No, it is EASY to prove or disprove. The DMSP spacecraft fleet has been measuring the Earth’s atmosphere for decades. No warming found.

The world warms after a glacial until a local max occurs. At that point the world cools until we enter the next glacial and a local min occurs. Rinse and repeat until Gaia draws her last watt.
