Global Warming? (I have been fortunate enough to live at one of the best times in human history)

FYI.

Only 71 degrees here today in California. So dang comfortable, its hard to stay awake.

Hey and don't forget the solar eclipse, June 10, 02. It will be approximately 80 percent of totality in California.

In my opinion Global warming to is junk science with a global agenda. It's globalony.

LOL! I was born in Miami, Fla in 1943, grew up down there, now I live up here in the frozen north, why? don't ask, anyway, don't talk to me about global warming, I would now welcome some warming, but it's all a bunch of crap. The world is influnenced by the the sun, and the moon. The sun controls the earth's temp, the moon the earth's tides. That's it. The sun has great influence on the temp of the oceans which in turn controls our weather. Do you remember in school being asked how much of the earth's surface is made up of water? Do your remember the answer? Does 3/4 ring a bell? Now, if 3/4 of the earth is made up by water how in the hell can man influence that? It would take some doing. Maybe in the year 4002 we can talk about it. Ah, what crap. It's all politics and I hate it!!

Wow, global warming caused by the Sun? Who'd a thunk it?

[SpinyNorman]

What the heck! Since Pakistan and India are going to start a nuclear winter anyway, we might as well pack on as many greenhouse gases as possible! LOL! This guy says the sun it responsible for the really big swings in temps, and still has to get in a shot about it "exacerbating" global warming. Just shows you the inherent bias in scientists (first hand experience with them).

Cycle theory is fascinating.

Recently, on the train, I sat at dinner with a retired meteorologist. He pretty much made clear to me that Sun activity probably has more to do with our climate cycles than man, whom he thought has little effect.

He also let me know that the computer models used for these projections aren't too good.

"Even more surprising is the fact that the glacial and interglacial periods on earth during the last 200,000 years appear to be strongly linked to solar activity."

lol. Did the guy just figure out that the sun heats our planet?

[Carry_Okie]

What is the average solar power density on the planet? I think it's on the order of a KW/m². So it wouldn't take much from the sun to make a big change in surface temperaure. Meanwhile, consider the amount of human-generated power it would take to change that same amount. It's a simple thought experiment, but shows how stupid this all was.

I always ask the green Chicken Littles what caused the great warming during the Viking era, when grapes were grown in Iceland.

They just stutter.
