Once you realize humans are not causing global warming and/or climate change, then you need an explanation for how and why so many people appear to think they are. In two previous articles (Environmental Extremism and Historical and philosophical context of the climate change debate.) we examined the philosophical and historical context of climate change and specifically the focus on humans as the cause.
We explained the philosophical concept of uniformitarianism that dominates western science; the incorrect idea that change is gradual over long periods of time. We looked at how the scientific method of testing the theory that human CO2 was causing warming/climate change was effectively bypassed. Now we need to examine how politics took over climate science through exploitation of public fear and lack of knowledge.

Wrong. He said evidence of Atlantis would begin to emerge. Not the whole shining Kingdom. Yes he talked about those land masses sliding into water, and that is what I was referring to.
Complete and utter nonsense on your part to slander a descent human being who ONLY ever hoped to help people. He took small fee because that was the only way he could survive.
Whenever people benefitted from his prophecy financially, he got sick. So his family started to make people write their question on paper and they were the ones who asked him questions so people don’t take advantage of a sleeping prophet.
If he was interested in increasing his fortune like a “sanke oil salsemen”, would he be trying to get away from investors and businessmen who could invest get rich and share with him or pay him a lot?
NO.
All he ever wanted was to use his gift of healing to help actual sick people and the remedies he suggested, time and again, scientific research has finally caught up with and proven right.
Your simply use a KLINTONIAN method to tear down a good man.
As I said, he worked on different level and whatever reincarnation theories he proposed, I am not sure even he understood them. I put those away because that is a realm NONE of us can really understand.
Science and Medicine and remedies he suggested, those can be VERIFIED and HAVE BEEN VERIFIED and he proposed them MANY YEARS before science could catch up with them.
This man had NO training or education, only a gift.
Well, that is ALSO possible. Natural disasters or phenomenon can also effect Climate change. However, since Humans have only recently begin to engage in activity that really can have negative impact, there is a new force at work now that was previously not present.
So, this is a NEW reality and must be acknowledged. Real damage can be done by people and it is well within our control to exacerbate it or prevent it.
Thanks. Maybe I will send you some money for promoting my cause! Keep up the good work!
So how many times does the CO2 drives the climate theory have to be falsified before you open your eyes.
Do you think 10 year period is enough to know what impact increased CO2 levels would have on climate?
I used the word "surface." Please look it up in a dictionary as you don't appear to know the meaning.
Your simply use a KLINTONIAN method to tear down a good man.
Oh, wow! What method might that be?
Science and Medicine and remedies he suggested, those can be VERIFIED and HAVE BEEN VERIFIED and he proposed them MANY YEARS before science could catch up with them.
Please provide a few examples of these remedies that "have been verified" and have some scientific basis today.
There are NUMEROUS books, volume after voluem that have been published about his medical remedies. One example I already gave you. Back then when they didn’t have the concept of inserting metal nails for joint supported, this poor uneducated farmer told them EXACTLY how to do it, and they tried and the patient instead of facing amputation, walked out of the Hospital.
Even back then it was noteable enough story that NYT picked up on it.
There.
Second, as far as “surface” goes, there are some rock formations near Bermuda where scientist do believe that they could be man made and they are in exact same location that EC indicated.
KLINTONIAN method is calling someone a liar and a theif and snake oil salsemen, when ALL HIS LIFE he tried to do is help cure people with his gift.
Those who took advantage and got rich off of it, he distanced himself form them and his family started to protect him by SCREENING the questions first.
He NEVER EVER talked about his own greatness. Always the most humble man and he did however talk about PRICE OF PEACE a lot.
Not the ammo of snake oil salseman.
Well, you a a “true believer.”
Word of advice: don’t accept any koolaid.
It will be the republicans that take us down the path of cap and trade and carbon taxes. I will never forgive them, nor vote for them as long as they espouse this rubbish.
HOWEVER - I agree with you that Climate Change WILL be devastating. However - it also WILL happen no matter what we do. It hasn't changed much since about 5000 B.C. (huh - interesting that is when we were able to begin farming, societies, etc. as I recall). But - it will change. Some BIG changes may wipe us out. Changes of 40’ to 100’ increase in sea levels over 1000 years (about the max observed in the geologic record) would be devastating to economies, farming, etc.
I think that money spent on preparing for those changes (and for either warmer OR colder) is prudent. (Norway or Sweden just got their seed storage cavern going to keep the genetics alive in case of a disaster). But - to try to stop or slow down climate change - no way. Just like with earthquakes - we make our bridges stronger, try to get folks prepared, study their effects to be able to prepare more. But trying to stop an earthquake? No way.
True Klintonian response. Hahahahaha!
For someone touting theories of New Agers and communist sympathizers, you have some nerve calling me Klintonian!
Stephen Hawkings is now a Communist sympathizer! All righty then! LOL!
Feller, if the earth has been cooling the last 10 years (it has), but warmed up slightly in the 1980s and into the 90s (it did), but was cooling in the 70s (remember the new ice age scare mongering), and the alarmists predictions of more hurricanes (now modified to be less hurricanes) did not come to pass, and the predictions of warming oceans null and void, and the loss of sea ice in one area being supplanted in other areas, why/who/what on God’s green earth are you putting faith in about global warming?
Those are good points. However, when was the last time Humanity put that many greenhouse gases in atmosphere? The pace is getting even faster now that India and China have come on line.
You think there is a built-in recycle filter that would take care of all of it and we have nothing to worry about?
I believe that there is a limit to everything and we are in danger of crossing the line. You can’t just use and abuse resources and have NO price to pay. There is always a cost.
We should not throwout some data just because AlGor likes it. His support means nothing. We should look at data independently and see if it has its own merit. Right now too many Conservatives are having a knee-jerk reaction. Just because AlGor is a jerk doesn’t mean its OK to have a knee-reaction.
Its NOT just leftist luney tunes who acknowledge this impact on enviorment of burned fossil fuels.
Here on far right, we have this 100% purist compliance and anyone who doesn’t is forced to walk the plank. NEWT is a GREAT CONSERVATIVE thinker and a warrior. He acknowledges that we can’t ignore this issue. As soon as he does that, he becomes IMPURE and TRAITOR to Conservative cause and hatred for him begins. I don’t think that way. I say, hey, maybe I am wrong about thinking this problem is NOT REAL. Maybe Newt is right and I should look at this problem again.
If Ice-Caps are melting - Houston we have a problem. A real problem.
The last ICE AGE was 20,000 years ago when much of North America was covered with ice.
Democraps back then would have blamed the human race for GLOBAL COOLING, right??

What an embezzle!
What an Ultra-Maroon!!!
The question is just how much is "that many?" When you look at it the amount man is producing isn't much at all. Almost nothing compared to the total atmosphere and insignificant next to natural sources which may change for numerous unknown natural causes.
