Climate Change, not just global warming.
Bitt, would you please post this as a regular article, F.D.A. Imposes Tougher Rules for Acne Drug? Thank you in advance. The admin mods might go crazy on me with 2 articles, even though they both involve government decisions.
If you have joined my health and science ping list in the last few months or so, make sure you check the link in comment# 31, "Global Warming on Mars?" FReepmail me if you want on or off my health and science ping list.
Tonk, do you have a ping list for veterans?
Increasing Carbon Dioxide and Global Climate Change and Unilateral and Right
From the latter:
That's why a new study, funded in part by NASA and announced in a Harvard University press release on Monday, is so important. The study concludes that, contrary to popular belief, "Many records reveal that the 20th century is likely not the warmest nor a uniquely extreme climatic period of the last millennium" [emphasis in the study]....
...Soon is quoted as saying: "Many true research advances in reconstructing ancient climates have occurred over the past two decades, so we felt it was time to pull together a large sample of recent studies from the last five to ten years and look for patterns of variability and change...
"In fact, clear patterns did emerge showing that regions worldwide experienced the highs of the Medieval Warm Period and lows of the Little Ice Age, and that 20th century temperatures are generally cooler than during the medieval warmth." ...
And my favorite quote from this...Needless to say, there were no SUVs 1,000 years ago.
NO climate model has ever been validated.
I didn't say a climate model was validated. I did refer to real-world events, i.e. more folks are complaining about glaciers shrinking than growing, a martian phenomena explained by solar warming and temperature data that it's getting warmer.
IMHO, from stories that I've read about solar radiation observed by satellites and sunspot activty seen on earth, the sun is the main culprit. This story just dealt with the observed warming trend. It said nothing about the utility of the proposed remedy from the left, i.e. limiting emissions of "greenhouse gases", especially carbon dioxide.
Climate Change, not just global warming.
You are saying that cold winter temperatures are a sign of global warming ( as well as something else you are calling climate change ). Is that correct?
Perhaps think of it this way...both the mean and the standard deviation are predicted to increase.
During past eras of global warming, were the winters extremely cold?
It was a joke. Anyway, it's hubris to think that a) we're the agents of climate change and b) we can really do anything constructive about it.
Thanks... good to see a judge with a little sense.
(And I thought I was up late...)
I agree with you, on that.
When you get around to answering that question, answer this one too:
If our next winter is warmer than average, will that be a sign that the Kyoto treaty is less necessary or more necessary?
It is not the same as PROVING that it is caused by CO2 emissions that are the result of human activity.
You already see them blaming the greenhouse gasses on methane from Siberian tundra. Man will be reduced to the trigger of the trigger in the greeny whacko's eye.
I also love how all the data shows that it hasn't been this warm in XX years. Which, of course, means that natural cycles have made it this warm before.
""Anyone still holding onto the idea that there is no global warming ought to hang it up. All data sets--satellite, surface, and balloon--have been pointing to rising global temperatures. ""
yes, but is it man made..seems awfullly narcisistic to think global wamring can only occur with the hand of man

There was no discussion about why it's getting warmer in the article.
