Man Made Global Warming

[Helrza]

David, are you a scientist? do you have a degree in any scientific fields?

Do you have any evidence to provide to this community about the subject that you are so passionatly fighting for with your 1-2 line sentences?

I just dont see how you can sit here and say that scientific articals on global warming, writen by actual scientists are a load of crud, and then say you beleive in global warming because thats what scientist have told you.


Anyways, it makes me laugh that we are all worried by "global warming", and how it is going to destroy the human race, and how badly we are all in danger and throw billions of dollars down the drain towards fixing , yet, they still dont have a clue how to stop this apparent threat after all this. we are soo concerned with this crap, that we forget about the millions of sick, starving ppl in third world countries, and homeless who could damn well use food, shelter and medical supplies. Im pretty sure "Global warming" means exaclty jack to them.

Degree in mathematical sciences. Not that it matters. Even a poet can understand the scientific process.

Well then look up the climate-gate scandal and tell me there hasn't been a major cock-up by the so called experts you vociferiously are defending. Commendable for yourself but the figures have been proven to be FLAWED ..........................

I'm familiar with "climategate". The scientists were vindicated in a review. The planet was so impressed that the last 12 months were the hottest recorded since we started keeping records.

Actually those figures have recently changed as well as the period from 1920-1930 beat the records for the 1990's as the hottest years ........

And yet the world's glaciers continue to disappear...

Here's somthing that cracks me up about the glaciers melting theory. It was slammed all over the papers and news that the resulting catastrophy of these melting glaciers would result in most of the pacific islands dissapearing under the ocean by several feet by 2010... even meters, as a result of the melt... yet they are still there..... but yes, the average water height has lifted by a mear 1.2mm.......... poor islanders.

Walshy does have a point about the temperature records. Our temp records only go back about the last 100 - 110 years or so. And even things you hear like average temps breaking records made in 1970's, or 1950's, or even longest consecutive days at high temps not beating 1908 records, certainly does put things into prospective and make you ask if it is true or not.

Yes I'm not disputing that, they are retreating, indeed they are, but the doom and gloom mongerers are blaming man for it when there are too many other factors in the whole equation that are also contributing to the retreat. Solar activity has increased in the last twenty years, flares and sunspots, I'm an amatuer astronomist, a member of a club in fact and it's a fact that solar activity has increased in output. The pendulum will swing the other way and fluctation cycle continues. The glacial period we are currently in, yes I said glacial period as a "glacial period" is signified by having a polar ice cap on both poles, is currently experiencing a warming phase. The warming at the end of the last maximum extant was dramatic and pronounced so much so that the north sea that separates the island of Great Britain from the rest of the continent, the flooding of Doggerland, has been postulated to happening within four or five generations by archeologists studying that period. So the warming we are experiencing now is small fry compared to that sudden and very dramatic climate change ......................
