State of the Climate

For the record, I think this is an absolutely wonderful post. Thank you.

Global warming is totaly fake. The iformation I am sateing is based on information from a person with a P.H.D. in physics from Stanford University. If you add up every once of green house gasses ever, in all of human history,it would equale less than one half of a small volacnic erupation. Forthermore, ever time the world has warmed up, human society has made huge advandces. Please escuze my spelling.

Dear anyonmus:

I'm sure I'd be a better man if only I was able to respect the intelligence gathering of an individual unable to spell 'information', 'stating', 'ounce', 'greenhouse', 'equal', 'volcanic', 'eruption', 'furthermore', 'every', advances', AND 'excuse'. (I shudder to imagine the no-doubt legions of other words you have yet to grasp.) But this shouldn't be about spelling; afterall, it is very possible that I have a spelling error in my own post; the point should be thusly: Those who discredit the teeny gains in environmental solvency the western nations make by attempting to paint the global warming issue as a hoax are doing a disservice not only to themselves but to the entire human race. The fact is that humans have a huge impact on the environment around them. A huge negative impact. And if we don't monitor ourselves before its too late, well then pretty soon it will be too late. Scientists are pretty much unanimous in their acceptance of the dangers our species poses to itself by way of industry and technology, except of course those bankrolled by Exxon Mobil. So despite whatever you may have learned from your genius friend with the fancy P.H.D., why don't you do yourself a favor (and the rest of us, too) and rethink your stance on this crucial issue.

I can't wait for all the advances we can make once we're forced to stay indoors at all times lest our skin bubble and boil from the intense temperatures.

Our climate has cycles. We all learned in grammer school that fossels in coal show that North America was once a tropical area. Climate change is a fact but all the causes are not known. It seems to me that since we know we are in a warming cycle we should do what we can to reduce the impact, deal with it and stop arguing about the cause. We know what to do and how to do it but spend all our efforts pointing fingers.

Great concerns of climate change to me is at what timescale changes will occur. At what rate is our local and global environments going to drastically change and cause mass disease, starvation and ultimately a mass extinction. Humans direct acts such as fishing, lumber and mining already causing severe environment effects. So now what are the indirect effects and how will we cope.

The reason that the cars in Europe (I was there a couple years ago) & Japan get better gas mileage is because they are TINY, as in sub-compact size. If you are willing to take chances on getting serious back problems from being crammed into such a small car, then you should purchase such a vehicle, instead of attempting to condemn the rest of us, via environment regulations, to an increased risk of physical disabilities.

Another point to be made is that why should I (via federal taxes) bankroll the solar panel and other "green" companies? Those who state their concern about oil company tax breaks & profits never seem to be concerned about this point.

According to three papers published in the March 6 2005 issue of "Science" the amount of incoming solar radiation reaching the surface of the earth has increased dramatically in the last two decades. Since all of the energy reaching the earth ultimately comes from the sun do you think that this might just possibly explain whatever "global warming" has been measured in the past 100 years? The ninteenth century saw the end of "the little ice age". During this period average temperatures dropped 7 to 10 degrees below average temperatures during the medieval warm period. Scientist believe this was caused by a decrease in solar output. It is widely known that the sun has periods of increasing and decreasing solar radiation. There are other things that cause warming of the earth, the least of these is carbon dioxide.

are we going to belive brayden who cant even spell ounce hes an idiot
i did a lot of research on the topic an i can tell you its all too real
the medeval warm period is nothing in comparison
most of us are self-respecting nerds
I have come to terms with it
do the research
its way too real to ignore
i know my stuff.
don't argue.

I remember all the rage about Global Cooling in the 70's. Everyone had proof, people were panicking to minimize their emissions, and governments were preparing to spend bliions of dollars to stop the imminent threat. Why? Because scientists said it was going to happen. Naturally, it never did, and the basis for those scientists slowly eroded. Now, after a decade-long sabbatial, we have "global warming". It'll all be forgotten about in 25 years, as nothing happens, and the proponents of climate change ssslllooowwwlllyyy back out.

Just as the Earth has natural cycles, so does human psychology.
