The heat generated by the hot air enviro-nazis are spewing will push the world past the tipping point.
When they start predicting the weather right for a week, I'll consider the validity of gloom-and-doom predictions for periods longer than that.
Then it's scaremongering, no matter What You Think.. Idiot..
The earth has been much warmer in the past, and it has been much colder in the past (there was a mile of ice above where I am sitting 10,000 years ago). If there were such thing as a "tripping point", it would have been tripped. Since it wasn't tripped then, why will it be tripped now?
This is nothing but pure bunk from an agenda driven media.
1) Is the surface temperature of the Earth rising? The answer to this is, almost certainly, yes.
2) Is it normal? That is, are rises and falls in the surface temperature of the planet part of the long-term natural history of the globe? The answer to this is also, certainly, yes.
So, the Earth's temperature may indeed skyrocket, or crash, as it has done many times before.
Maybe they can switch back to global cooling when things go the wrong way again. Earth is a big cycle. Things happen and we are foolish to think we can change them. We are also foolish to think that the sea levels will never rise or that the climate will never change. These people are idiots.
"Tipping point" -- What a tired cliché. A hackneyed phrase
3) Can we do anything about it? Not really.
4) Should we do anything about it? I'm of the opinion that global warming is preferable to global cooling. So perhaps we should just let it be.
The phenomenon seems entirely fueled by buzzwords, so why not "tipping point," too?
That is very much the point..
They don't know if or when the planet will reach the height of this warming cycle..
It could already be past, or it could be next week, or 10 years from now..
Then we will go into a cooling cycle..
Then everyone will go nuts claiming a future Ice Age..
They don't know crap.
They just know how to get funding..
It's all about the research grant money..
A better question: is "Tipping Point" the new buzzword?
Gee, a bone was tossed the tune of six words to consider this most absurd and elitist generated anti-human horror representation of life to all in a generally stated philosophy that "humans are bad for the livelihood and well being of humans" because humans promote the advancement of humankind a debate.
That's where I stopped reading. "We don't understand it, but we're going to explain it to you."
Right.
The ACTUAL scientific study of just a few dasys ago shows that Greenland's glaciers are thickening, not melting (global warming is reducing the level of the seas will be the next cry.)
All in all, there must be at least two dozen factually incorrect statements in the above article.
Enviro's are not going to change my mind until they start using factual, scientifically proven theorems.
The ACTUAL science is not on their side on that current time so they resort to scaring the public (Is this not the exact thing the Left accuses Bush of?)
Where's the evidence? Where's the cause-and-effect? Where's the historical record of similar past events?
This is a lot of "ifs" with nothing to back it up.
I caught a recent History Channel special on the "Little Ice Age" from about 1640 to 1840. Drastic changes in climate particularly in N. America and Northern Europe ocurred due to guess what .....alteration of the sun's output. A period of increased solar output ended this cold spell in about 1850. Could it be that all the climate changes being blamed on SUV's, fluoro/chloro carbons, burning fossil fuels and of course Republican policies are really due to changes in the sun's output????
"(Is this not the exact thing the Left accuses Bush of?)"
Yes, it is. Exactly. And, you can predict future Dim scandals by what they're accusing Republicans of doing today. Get out in front of the news cycle, accuse your opponent of whatever negative is just about to come to light about Dims, no matter how ludicrous. Then, you will have "innoculated" yourself. Offsetting liabilities cancel each other out and the public yawns.
"Tipping point" seems to be the latest fad phrase. Check out google news for examples:
