NASA Research Finds Last Decade was Warmest on Record, 2009 One of Warmest Years

My son was watching Modern Marvels: I realize this is purely anecdotal; but if the ice is melting, and is doing so because of, essentially, industrialization: how does this happen?

The answer is obvious. The earth warmed so much since WWII that 268 feet of ice formed on top of that plane. Duh!

Well, I did notice that they recovered that plane in 1992, so maybe all they had to do was wait and all 268 feet of ice would have melted by now.


Seriously, though, the reason there was probably 268 feet of ice on that plane is because there was massive global cooling between the 1930's and 1970's. I've never heard anyone from the Church of Gore adequately explain why there was cooling during this period -- a period that saw substantial increases in CO2.

Apparently anecdotal evidence is good enough for the IPCC. Well, at least it is when they like what that "evidence" says............

So you believe its all hype?

No... I do my part.

I've been an environmental conservationist long before this movement began.

I don't buy plastic or styrofoam mealware... I recycle aluminum, paper and plastics at a cost to me. I've been sponsoring the protection of 10 square kilometers in the Amazon rainforrest since 1999... I try my best to optimize the energy efficiency of my home (replaced all the windows to double paned windows, upgraded the house's insulation, added skylights etc...). I had to pay to replace the default St. Augustine grass in my lawn to one that consumes one third the water... I'm fine with drinking tap water (i.e. I don't buy bottled water) etc... etc... etc...

Having said that, I don't buy the 'detrimental' effect of CO2 emissions, as it pertains to my personal 'carbon footprint'...

Concerning global temperatures... the sun continues to be the 'big elephant in the living room'... it always has been... the sun is what directly drives sea temperatures, which in turn controls how much CO2 is absorbed/released by the oceans... seeing how this quan y massively dwarfs human emissions I don't know how scientists can claim humans or CO2 for that matter are to 'blame'... then again, if we're being blamed for increasing the average global temperature where no true increase actually exists... that right there is utter BS.

According to Atheist Ice core dating supporters in this forum that plane is 25 million years old. Count the rings.

Did you just come up with that yourself, or are you believing some creationist lies?

Seriously. That is utter bull .

Why is it anyone who has a different opinion than yours is a worthless Bible thumper?

Seriously. That is utter bull .

You seem to be very educated and possess an open mind You must get invited to many debates.
