AURaptor 1,126 Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Friday - Februgly 2, 2007WHY AM I SKEPTICAL ABOUT MAN-MADE GLOBAL WARMING? A 21-page report from something called the "Intergovernmental Panel On Climate Change" has been released today...in Paris, no less...and as expected, it's predictions are dire. According to the report: "Warming of the climate system is unequivocal, as is now evident from observations of increases in global average air and ocean temperatures, widespread melting of snow and ice, and rising global mean sea level." Yeah right...we've heard all this before. But the biggest bombshell here is this one: no matter what we do, global warming will not be reversed. It will go on for centuries, according to this report. The sea levels will continue to rise as polar ice caps melt. So I guess if Al Gore wins his Nobel Peace Prize, we'll still experience global warming. So much for riding to work everyday in your hybrid car...it's not doing a thing. The situation is futile, according to this report. But really, it makes sense that the global warming crowd would come to this conclusion. After all, global warming is a religion. The anti-capitalist enviro-nazis don't ever want the problem to be solved. After all, if global warming were to be solved tomorrow, what would they blame the United States for? They'd have to find some other reason. Sorry .. I'm still a skeptic. In no particular order here are just a few of the reasons why I'm not buying this man-made global warming scare: The United Nations is anti-American and anti-Capitalist. In short .. I don't trust them. Not a bit. The UN would eagerly engage in any enterprise that would weaken capitalist economies around the world. Because after the fall of the Soviet Union and worldwide Communism many in the anti-capitalist movement moved to the environmental movement to continue pursuing their anti-free enterprise goals. Many of the loudest proponents of man-made global warming today are confirmed anti-capitalists. Because the sun is warmer .. and all of these scientists don't seem to be willing to credit a warmer sun with any of the blame for global warming. The polar ice caps on Mars are melting. How did our CO2 emissions get all the way to Mars? It was warmer in the 1930s across the globe than it is right now. It wasn't all that long ago that these very same scientists were warning us about "global cooling" and another approaching ice age? How much has the earth warmed up in the last 100 years? One degree. Now that's frightening. Because that famous "hockey stick" graph that purports to show a sudden warming of the earth in the last few decades is a fraud. It ignored previous warming periods ... left them off the graph altogether. The infamous Kyoto accords exempt some of the world's biggest CO2 polluters, including China and India. The Kyoto accords can easily be seen as nothing less than an attempt to hamstring the world's dominant capitalist economies. Because many of these scientists who are sounding the global warming scare depend on grant money for their livelihood, and they know the grant money dries up when they stop preaching the global warming sermon. Because global warming "activists" and scientists seek to punish those who have different viewpoints. If you are sure of your science you have no need to shout down or seek to punish those who disagree. What happened to the Medieval Warm Period? In 1996 the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change issued a chart showing climatic change over a period of 1000 years. This graph showed a Medieval warming period in which global temperatures were higher than they are today. In 2001 the IPCC issued another 1000 year graph in which the Medieval warming period was missing. Why? Why has one scientist promoting the cause of man-made global warming been quoted as saying "we have to get rid of the medieval warming period?" Why is the ice cap on the Antarctic getting thicker if the earth is getting warmer? In the United State, the one country with the most accurate temperature measuring and reporting records, temperatures have risen by 0.3 degrees centigrade over the past 100 years. The UN estimate is twice that. There are about 160,000 glaciers around the world. Most have never been visited or measured by man. The great majority of these glaciers are growing, not melting. Side-looking radar interferometry shows that the ice mass in the West Antarctic is growing at a rate of over 26 gigatons a year. This reverses a melting trend that had persisted for the previous 6,000 years. Rising sea levels? The sea levels have been rising since the last ice age ended. That was 12,000 years ago. Estimates are that in that time the sea level has risen by over 300 feet. The rise in our sea levels has been going on long before man started creating anything but natural CO2 emissions. Like Antarctica, the interior of Greenland is gaining ice mass. Over the past 3,000 years there have been five different extended periods when the earth was measurably warmer than it is today. During the last 20 years -- a period of the highest carbon dioxide levels -- global temperatures have actually decreased. That's right ... decreased. Why did a reporter from National Public Radio refuse to interview David Deming, an associate professor at the University of Oklahoma studying global warming, after his testimony to the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee unless Deming would state that global warming was being caused by man? Why are global warming proponents insisting that the matter is settled and that no further scientific research is needed? Why are they afraid of additional information? On July 24, 1974 Time Magazine published an article entitled "Another Ice Age?" Here's the first paragraph: "As they review the bizarre and unpredictable weather pattern of the past several years, a growing number of scientists are beginning to suspect that many seemingly contradictory meteorological fluctuations are actually part of a global climatic upheaval. However widely the weather varies from place to place and time to time, when meteorologists take an average of temperatures around the globe they find that the atmosphere has been growing gradually cooler for the past three decades. The trend shows no indication of reversing. Climatological Cassandras are becoming increasingly apprehensive, for the weather aberrations they are studying may be the harbinger of another ice age." Hey ... I could go on. There's much more where that came from. But I need to get ready to go on the air. Just know that many of the strongest proponents of this "man-made" global warming stuff are dedicated opponents to capitalism and don't feel all that warm and fuzzy about the United States.

au9596 0 Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Thanks for posting raptor. The real effects mankind has on global warming are unknown. Even those scientists that agree that there is global warming, a majority of them say mankinds contributions are minimal if any. It is a theory and only a theory.

It's technically not even a 'theory'. Notice how you never even hear that word used in connection w/ global warming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otterinbham 0 Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 I would also add that there was farmland in Greenland and trees in Iceland during the Medieval warming period. Climactically, these would be impossibilities today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUloggerhead 2,253 Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 My house is located in a spot that was covered in ice over a mile thick during the last ice age about 15k years ago. Think about how much global warming heat would be necessary to melt a sheet of ice over a mile thick. And not one SUV or dirty coal-burning power plant was in existence at the time either. Natural processes dwarf any man-made contributions to global warming. It's so obvious even a cave man could figure it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigermike 3,055 Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 There may be technological answers to balance the effect of increased greenhouse gasses. If the earth is absorbing a tad too much sunlight, there are ways we might deflect a bit of that. This happens naturally when volcanoes erupt, spewing ash into the atmosphere. The "year without a summer" of 1816 was apparently caused by volcanoes. It wouldn't be necessary to wait for a volcano, would it? We can bury a few hydrogen bombs in empty patches of desert and blow dust into the atmosphere. This would induce a small element of nuclear winter scientists have warned of. Do you think the greenies would go for that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think the greenies would go for that? You just figured out their Master Plan. That's why the liberal Democrats and the UN are not going to do anything about Iran; they know that when Iran blows up Israel the resulting small nuclear winter will help slow down Global Warming. They get two birds with one (plutonium) stone... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems they don't want that info getting out to the public and confusing the issue. * In 1996 the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change issued a chart showing climatic change over a period of 1000 years.
