I have an opinion on global warming!
"Peter Dohm" wrote in message news:R2hSh.30519$B7.4311@bigfe9... "Matt Barrow" wrote in message ... Some doubt? The Vikings planted crops, including vineyards, in Greenland, which unless you missed it, is completed covered in permanent ice. Exactly! The biggest effect of more CO2 in the atmosphere would really be faster plant growth and increased crop yeilds. I have heard that warmer temperatures would also be helpfull in the same regard. The figure I have heard stated as optimum is 8 degrees--although I don't know on which scale. I do find it ironic that the same people who claimed that parsimony was a vice when I was in school are now the ones who say we should shut down the western world--and of course become vegetarians. Notice that the never say adopt sound conservation practices, convert to nuclear power, or do much of anything else that actually works; as that would be parsimony. (End of rant) In the 60's and 70's, Cpaitlaism was BAD because it caused poverty; today it's BAD because it causes too much prosperity. And port (excuse ) in a strom. |

"Aluckyguess" wrote in message news Scientists on global warming. If you find that it is warming you still have a job, if you find there is no such thing and its all bull you have no job. That the earth is warming/warmed is beyond doubt. If it DIDN'T, we'd still be stuck in the Ice Ages (nice for skiers, but...). The hacks, promoting themselves as "scientists" _conveniently leave out the main, salient points. Most noticably, that overall, the would be many benefits (think: tropical jungle). Oh, and I notice the MSM touting how a warmer world would be ridilled with droughts -- evidently, the MSM bozo's have forgotten the hydrolic cycle (evidently, they paid as much attention in Scicne class as they did in math, economics... |

It is to guffaw. Why don't you tell us about the best vintages from them ol' Greenland vineyards? And BTW, Matt, did you catch that bit from Tony about "it's just a theory?" Who does that remind you of? You boys can go on back to watching TGGWS and listening to talk radio now. Neither one of you can see past your own politics. 'bye. -- Dan C-172RG at BFM |

The current global warming pendulum is on a 15,000 year swing (and
probably longer)... Mans production of CO2 since the industrial revolution has perhaps hastened the rate of warming... But, even without man on the planet the warming cycle would have occurred, the glaciers would have retreated, and we would be close to where we are now... At worst case we accellerated the rate of glacier retreat by a small amount... In the grand scheme of things this is not even a blip on the graph... So, in spite of AL G's hysterical wailings, global warming was not caused by man and man cannot stop it, control it, or even slow it... This warming cycle is mere foreplay leading up to the next cycle of glaciation... Lean back, relax, and enjoy it... We are just along for the ride... Tis better to live in a period of warming than to live in a period of glaciation... denny |

"Matt Barrow" wrote in message ... "Peter Dohm" wrote in message .. . "Gene Seibel" wrote in message ups.com... In addition I recently heard that some surface reporting stations in Siberia ceased operation--so that data was simply omitted from the calculations. Since any resulting error would be in the "correct" direction, according to the current Gore sycophants, there is no reason to correct for the missing data, nor to work to put the reporting stations back on line. Even suface observations have been, historically, located in developed areas. Those areas are, today, greatly increased in size and infrasturcture, that creates what;s known as "heat island effect". An honest scientists (redundant?) would correct for that; an agenda-driven hack, OTOH, plays games with the data. You're exactly right. I was not familiar with the term, although I was familiar with the symptoms, but "heat island effect" was almost certianly the phenomenon discussed in the recent thread regarding "...colder at the approach end..."
