![]() "Jay Honeck" wrote in message news ![]() It's those pesky variables (like a single volcano releasing the equivalent of 400 years of man-made air pollution) Volcanoes contribute about 110 million tons of CO2 per year, whereas other sources ("other" means mailny man made) contribute about 10 billion tons/year. Have you got a source for that information? I don't have the figures in front of me, but I believe your "volcano output" figure is not factoring in major eruptions that alone can (and often do) put out an incredible amount of emissions. Which is actually beside the point. Are emissions bad, regardless of source? Sure. Are they worth laying awake at night, worrying? Only if you live a very sheltered life. And, is global warming really a bad thing? 2/3rd of the earth is largely uninhabitable due to COLD. |

... And, is global warming really a bad thing? 2/3rd of the earth is largely uninhabitable due to COLD. Isn't that more down to the fact that it's wet? :-) Unfortunately for the places where humans live at the moment, it just means different - more storms, more floods, more droughts, etc. With regard to here in the UK, it seems that the weather used to be best ("summer" weather) in July and August. Now it seems that the best weather here is in May and June, with July, August and September being quite wet, with frequent thunderstorms. Sort of thing you see in sub-tropical areas! Various sub-tropical creatures which could previously only be found in the far south of the country are starting to be found further north. This cannot be totally blamed on man-made warming...indeed the earth's temperature closely follows solar activity if I remember correctly. But in support of the man made change, records were studied from the past 300 years or so. it shows a strong correlation between solar activity and average earth temperatures - the two went up and down together...until the Industrial Revolution, when the two lines started diverging in the same proportion to the estimated global production of man-made carbon dioxide.

Has there ever been a prediction by an "environmentalist" that has come
true? All the predictions I have seen that have come due are wrong. All the worlds population aren't starving. The forests and jungles aren't gone. The worlds mean temperature hasn't risen 5 degrees. The Oceans aren't 10 feet higher. Ninety percent of the animals on the earth haven't been forced into extinction. Oil hasn't been depleted. The Ice age hasn't come. About the only prediction I have seen from "environmentalists" that might be true is that the environment is going to change ![]() I will make a prediction ![]() common term for "nutcase". LG |

Isn't that more down to the fact that it's wet? :-) Unfortunately for the places where humans live at the moment, it just means different - more storms, more floods, more droughts, IIRC, a warmer climate would also be wetter, particularly in the growing areas. Droughts are, OTOH, more local, I believe. etc. With regard to here in the UK, it seems that the weather used to be best ("summer" weather) in July and August.

Various sub-tropical creatures which could previously only be found in the far south of the country are starting to be found further north. A longer growing season (see above).

I believe ice cores tell a much different story. Also, satellite temps, taken away from heat islands indicate slight cooling over the past 15-20. ?? |

Can you please provide references for the source of this information? I am very interested. The industrial revolution started around the 1740s I think but perhaps you have a later starting point? -- David CL Francis |

Look at some of the research they've done with ice core samples and tree rings. |
