Lets see, as I remember we haad an Ice Age and now we don't... hmmmm. Yep. I think its getting warmer.
The real question is the role of man. And the jury is out on that one.
Quantitatively, the jury is still out. Qualitatively, the verdict is in -- we're causing some of it. When the article talks about "models", one of the main things being modeled is the effect of increasing atmospheric CO2 and other greenhouse gases.
Here is the problem, instruments on the ground read one thing and instruments 2 feet up and farther show no warming at all so, those supporting global warming are saying yes, there is global warming, the instruments and how we use them are wrong becuase they don't prove our theory.
Right. Well, you expect little from Yale and, you get it.
Well I would believe it was man inspired if they can show the data that during the last 10,000 years that man has used fire( wood and coal) to cook, warm himself and work every single moment of the day and that didnt effect climate?
After the USSR fell the secularists needed to find something so huge that could never be acurately measured by lay people in order for them to focus their attention. That way it becomes a religion and the scientists are the priests. Research funding are the contributions and enviromental protests are their worship services. To see it any other way is naive.
I want them to giv eme an accurate forcast for next week. How about doing that first and I will then listen.
No, the real questions are, is global warming a problem and, if so, can we stop it.
There are cycles of freeze, thaw, warming and other things that we know go by 10s of thousands of years... in fact sun spots and the earths wobble on its access has more to do with global climate changes than anything we do.
