Climate — the change we have to believe in, because it’s 100 per cent natural 100 per cent of the time. :’)
thanks for posting this...
Glenn Beck mentioned this plan to reverse “global cooling”...
and said (in so many words) “good thing we didn’t listen to all the
‘experts’ back then or else ‘global warming’ would be REALLY bad now!”
Enviromentalism - Worst Religion Ever!
btt
I was in 1st and 2nd grade in 1977/78 I remeber being scared to death about the coming Ice Age. I also remember the acid rain scares.
...but shhhhh...it's heresy to admit that we have any impact on the environment!
But you cannot tell me (by the math) HOW MUCH each part of the change in CO2 is due to what cause! (Tell me how CO2 delta percent is due to “deforestation (but forest percents have risen in many places!), how much is due to warmer oceans; how much is taken up by greater plant growth due to higher CO2 levels (now as much as 23% greater!); and how much is due to burning.
But, CO2 is less than 1/3 of one hundredth of a percent of all CHG on earth. ANY assumption as to its supposed influence on net heat rates is an ASSUMPTION based on only ONE report used by the IPCC - and henceforth canonized by Hansen and his ilk.
Now, over a 12 year period from 1996 through 2008, tell me how CO2 has increased.
Now, tell me why (EXACTLY why - and show your math!) - temperatures have stayed the same over that same 12 year period.
If currents are to blame (El Nino and La Nina's) - tell me WHY ocean currents (depending on the sun's rays to heat ocean water, and the sun's rays to heat wind currents) - can manipulate the earth's TEMPERATURE, but the sun cannot affect the earth's temperature.

Ping me if you find one I've missed.
I don’t really want to get into carbonate chemistry and geochemistry, etc., for acid rain. The focus on NOx and SOx is not misplaced for the acidity inputs...though carbon is involved, too, that has more to do with the buffering capacity of surfacewater bodies, soils, etc.
BTW, I realize you must have misdirected your comments, as you’re writing about global warming, not my response about acid rain.
I’ve been living at the New Jersey seashore (Ocean City) every summer for the past 45 years. For the whole summer. Never has the ocean water temperature been this cold for so long as it has this summer. This summer is really strange. I mean real cold. Lately it’s usually been in the 50’s instead of the 70’s where it should be. Melting of the Arctic or a new global cooling?

Global warming on Free Republic
Haven't you heard, acid rain has gone from villain to hero because it limits global warming!

Well, just more of my well educated sarcastic wit......
;-)
Interesting piece on the left-wing/environmentalist politics surrounding acid rain. Reason Magazine did an excellent article on all the acid rain BS way back when, but I can't find it at the moment. All the best--GGG
I believe it was the winter of 76-77. I was a Senior in High School, we went back 1 day after the Christmas break, and stayed home the rest of the month of January. Schools were closed due to a combination of snow, cold, natural gas shortage and a coal miners' strike (Thank you, Jimmy Carter!).
I finally graduated June 18th, 1977, and in August the same year, we set 21 record HIGH temperatures....
Go figure....
