Here is some more interesting science around global warming:

Global Warming - Doomsday Called Off (1/5)

Global Warming - Doomsday Called Off (2/5)

Global Warming - Doomsday Called Off (3/5)

Global Warming - Doomsday Called Off (4/5)

Global Warming - Doomsday Called Off (5/5)

I love the way they want to accept the inventor of the inter-net's doomsday prophecy
and never want to accept or listen to
what some "real" experts say.

Most say nothing has been proven at this
point and it needs a lot more study. They
also ask, what is the "normal" temperature
for the earth. No one knows. No one also
knows for sure about the "average" temperature for earth, since there are many,
many places where they have no record
of temperature.

Dallas weather this year has been unreal. Lots of rain (too much) and mild temperatures. We are a few days from July 1 and we haven't had a day over 100 degrees.... and usually we see the first 100 degree day before the end of May. In fact, temperatures this week aren't supposed to get into the 90's until Thursday (92).

The reason I bring this up is because what do the doom sayers say to this? Is their argument that weather cycles are cyclic? I would think that would be a fair statement, although filled with irony.

The guy that cuts my hair is as liberal as the day is long.... When I got my hair cut last week I brought up the crazy mild weather we have been having. I mentioned, jokingly, that it was due to "global warming"... to which he went on a diatribe about how that was it... that global warming was causing our temperatures to be cooler somehow. It was then that I realized that this new found religion will always have an out... no matter what happens to the temperatures it will be due to their god, global warming.

I picture the warmites praying over the Weather section hoping for 110 degree weather to plague us so that they can go out and convert more to their religion.

You must have missed the memo. It's no longer called "global warming." All these phenomena, you and I would normally call weather, that have been putting the lie to the "global warming" hysteria has caused Chief Priest Algore and his minions to begin referring to the crisis as "global climate change."

Now, anytime something occurs that you and I might consider "weather," it is a result of "global climate change."

Scientist Implicates Worms in Global Warming

Jim Frederickson, the research director at the Composting Association has called for data on worms and composting to be re-examined after a German study found that worms produce greenhouse gases 290 times more potent than carbon dioxide.

Alarmist global warming claims melt under scientific scrutiny

Another brick in the Algore's wall comes tumbling down...

QUOTE=Buck Rogers]the earth isn't getting hotter, the sun is. stars are known to fluctuate and have flare ups. those "small" flare ups aren't so small when you consider the size and energy of the sun...........people are so gulliable.[/QUOTE]
Yes, people are gulliable.

I don't understand why the obvious is rejected by most people.

The Sun is the source of our heat. Normal average global temperatures are about 288 degrees Kelvin. If we assume the earths core would maintain us at 88 K with no sun, then a 200 degree range means 2 degrees Celsius per one percent change in the suns output. We see nominal 0.2% to 0.3% changes in the sunspot cycles (calculated 0.4 C to 0.6 C) since we have been able to directly monitor the suns energy, starting in 1975. Historical proxy evidence is very compelling and suggests that we have had lower energy from the sun in the earlier 1900’s and beyond than today’s average. The proxy evidence falls in line with the proxy evidence that we derive past temperatures from. They are nearly 100% in alignment with each other.

Then there are cosmic ray changes and CME (coronal mass eruptions) also.

I wonder how much money Al Gore has made from his stock holdings in these companies that sell carbon credits?

global warming is real

the alarmists are trying to scare us to death though
rule with fear
exactly like the al queda boogeymen

the federal government is just going to use global warming to gain more control and power

these enviornmental corporations are evil as though, theyre going to take peoples land and restrict personal liberty

if you want to help the enviornment you should plant a tree, drive less, conserve water and energy, not give to env corporations and support more federal regulations, laws, and programs

Well, I take exception to your analogy of global warming to al Qaeda. Al Qaeda has actaully caused tangible, measurable human suffering and death. Global Warming, not so much.
