Ohio State University Professor of Geological Sciences, Lonnie Thompson, recognized as a leader in his field, predicts the loss of glaciers and ice caps in Africa and Peru within the next 15 years due to global warming.
Sir Nicholas Shackleton, a geologist who has made fundamental contributions to Quaternary paleoclimatology and palaeoceanography, also warns against climate change (i.e., global warming) caused by carbon emissions; if you want to know what "Quaternary " means, you have to follow the link and read the article.
Lamont-Doherty (Columbia University) paleoclimatologist, George Kukla, maintains that the Earth's orbit around the Sun is the primary force behind ice age glaciation; in fact, it is possible that human induced global warming could hasten another ice age by exacerbating the temperature difference between the temperate regions and the polar regions and increasing the rate of water transport poleward.
Lamont-Doherty (Columbia University), PETER B. DEMENOCAL, an associate professor of earth and environmental sciences, who serves on the steering committees for the National Science Foundation, American Geophysical Union, and the National Academy of Sciences, discusses his view on the effects of global warming.
One thing seems certain to me, willful ignorance does not make for good public policy.
Nope. None of these "eminent" scientists can answer even the most basic of questions.
1) If huge glaciers covered the US During the Ice Age creating the Great Plains with their pressure, how come then, did dry land appear when the earth warmed? Shouldn't the earth have been covered deeper in water per GW alarmists? If water takes up more space when it is in the frozen state, doesn't it make sense that it would make MORE land appear when it melts?
2) How can we possibly even use data taken from 100 years ago and compare it to ANY measurement today? Just how many satellite photos, oceanic weather balloons, and digital thermometers accurate to 1/100 of a degree were they using in 1880?
3) In the 70's we were taught in school about the new Ice Age we were entering. Evidence? The Blizzards of '77 and '78 especially. The scientists then were analyzing the data THEY had of past temperatures and came to this conclusion. Now supposedly the earth is warming. This means that there logically was a time when the earth was "just right" between 1975 and about 1990. Also to prove warming today, all of the "cooling" data must have been couteracted by warming data, and it had to have been since the mid 1970's. So, I forgot, was it the summer of 1985 or 1986 that we were having those 300 degree highs? Were the 1970's scientists liars?
4)Since anyone who dares question GW is obviously an oil industry shill, hwhy is it that the proponents of a "solution" for GW are 99% anti-industry, anti-progress, anti-American, anti-capitalist? Is this just a coincidence?
Tell us all about it, Signed Up Yesterday. Tell us your favorite part of the movie -- perhaps the palpably laughable schadenfreude moment where Gore demonstrates how GW accelerated rapidly under him and Clinton.
Willful ignorance is the stock-in-trade of demogogues.
