Rush: Do dinosaur farts pass the smell test?
Global Warming on Free Republic
No, The sun warms the planet.
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.
“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.

The warming from CO2 is steady and gradual, but the storage of the extra heat in the ocean (and loss of heat to the deep ocean) is nonlinear. So we would expect jumps up. The best known jump came with the 1998 El Nino. The 2010 El Nino had no jump (ocean ran out of extra warmth? Negative PDO? can't say for sure).
But the jumps are not "proof" that CO2 has no warming effect or increasing CO2 does not increase warmth
When the SUN loses it’s fuel and it expands beyond the orbit of the Earth, what will ABC/CBS/NBC/CNN/environmental wackos.. have to complain about then?
(Think I answered my own question-never mind.)
Much as I hate to admit it global warming is man made - the effect is better known as the Clean Air Act. This legislation mandated that particulate emissions be reduced. It it widely accepted that particulates emitted during volcanic eruptions were the cause of global cooling episodes. Therefore we can blame Congress and President Nixon for the warming that stared in the late 70’s.
