Well this is interesting. I don't know if there is anything in it, but it is worth considering.

I just love when scientists fight.

[isthisnickcool]

OK, we make this really really big umbrella and shhot it up in to space....

[Red Badger]

I prefer to think that it's caused by precession of the poles and wobble of the earth on it's axis...........

If Wafah Sultan had been a scientist...

Guess we'll have to build a giant bubble around the Earth so We can control the temperature and protect ourselves from galactic forces.

Yet, for years he held back on his climate doubts. "I was scared," he says

Scared - of what ? Ridicule from other, politically indoctrinated scientists ?

That's why we can't trust what scientists tell us - there is far too much agenda in science research.

Great, this means we can go back to r-12 for air conditioning.

Geez- all those squiggly lines make my eyes glaze over.

Stars, not greenhouse gases, are heating up the Earth.

So says prominent University of Ottawa science professor Jan Veizer.

What the heck is going on up there?
First y'all elect a Conservative guvmint.
Then I read about increased interest in joining the Canadian military
forces, even with the losses in Afghanistan.
And there's even public admissions about the problems (not just the promises)
of socialized medicine.
Now, even your university professors are talking sense.

OK, I'm joking a good bit. And hoping I can someday get away to visit
relatives in Sherwood Park/Edmondton and Jasper/Banff.
But something seems to be in the water recently.

......it certainly sounds more plausible than cow farts and automobile emissions.

Exposure to cosmic rays can also make you become invisible, stretchy, on fire, or a big pile of strong orange rocks.

Well this is interesting. I don't know if there is anything in it, but it is worth considering.

It makes more sense than a trace element of CO2 having such a drastic affect on the climate. Any other theory is worth considering than the CO2 theory.

[edsheppa]

Note that this doesn't necessarily imply that human activity doesn't affect climate.

However, I think we'd better spend our time finding ways to directly control the Earth's energy budget.

So what are "cosmic" rays....are they only X-rays, or
other wavelengths, and in what proportion do they
hit the earth, can they be blocked by O2, CO2, nitrogen,
dust, ozone...are they uniformly distributed?
Is it seasonal, or dependant on sunspot activity, or
what??? Enquiring minds want to know...

Maybe global warming is due to lots of other factors(including
cosmic rays, which in combination with cow gas, human gas, mammal gas,
cause global warming.......

[The Great RJ]

MSM headlines: Cosmic rays cause global warming..George Bush's fault .... Cosmic Ray Threat to Earth, woman and minorties affected most.... Republican policies blamed for the shortage of tinfoil for protective hats....Cosmic Rays, a Haliburton Connection?
