'Climate Witnesses' Testify About Warming to the U.N.

Well, it's not the heat, it's the humidity.

I wonder why they keep saying that global warming will mean less rain. What do they think will happen to all the water as it evaporates? Will we just have clouds all the time and no water falling back to earth. Will the whole earth dry up while the cloud layer gets so heavy that it scrapes the ground over the whole of the earth? Scientists are like liberals, they think the average person is extremely stupid. Millions of years ago the earth had no polar caps and the weather was moist over a large part of the earth. Can't get much warmen then that. What jerks.

Well here is my own testimony. Back as a child, I got lulled into believing that the weather here in Northern California (Bay Area to be exact) was far warmer and more benign than it historically had been based on tree ring studies and the like. Lo and behold, at first I thought we were having a bad streak of cold and foggy summers (as in, coastal fog coming well inland and very few days above 80 or 85 degrees) and lousy, very wet winters. But after it went on for 10 years, I kind of realized that this is normal. Warming? When? I sure hope so!

It's hot in my office, does that mean.....

Image that, stories passing as "science."

Welcome to FR, btw.

Just wait five minutes...

THIS IS A GOOD REASON
FOR GLOBAL WARMING!!!



damn the cold.

Your first instincts were actually correct. Now, get back to your island and start building some idols or sacrificing some virgins :-) Sacrificing virgins? You can count me in! And I'd also like a sacred cow burger and fries to go with that. re: global non-warming; And what do the REAL scientists say?? It's GIGO with flawed computer modeling http://www.democratandchronicle.com/news/08025453H28_news.shtml

Global warming is good!

1.5 million years ago Ohio was half covered in a glacier. Are we better off now with a warmer world or were we better off then?

Would we be better off with glaciers completely covering Canada as it was 1.5 million years ago? --No wait. Don't answer that. LOL!

Kinda like dwindling prison cells for hominids.

BTTT!!!!!!!

I would still like one of those guys to explain to me why the earth warmed up 20,000 years ago when the only pollution created by man was camp fires and the occasional fart.

Because the Earth is subject to astronomical cycles which vary the amount of solar insolation it receives, which in turn affects the global radiative balance, which in turn affects the fluxes between sources and sinks of CO2 in the atmosphere and oceans, which in turn affects the atmospheric concentration of CO2, which in turn affects the temperature of the Earth.

And there is this that makes sense to me:
