Global Warming The debbil made me do it
"Dan" wrote: IOW, don't confuse you with facts. Fine. -- Dan Ok.. facts. 20 foot sea level rise based on which incontrovertible evidence? There is enough ice on Greenland *alone* to raise msl 20+ feet. That is an incontrovertible fact. The rate of ice melt on Greenland is accelerating beyond predictions of only a few years ago. http://www.colorado.edu/news/releases/2007/481.html http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases...0115102706.htm Will we have a 10 foot rise in 50 years? Not according to current models, but ominous things are happening in Greenland and Antarctica that indicate there are previously unknown accelerating phenomena at work. But let me ask you something: Are you 100% sure your house is going to burn down this year? If not, why are you wasting your money on insurance? Why don't you just wait until you see flames, then buy a policy? 5 feet in 25? Sorry, I'm not buying the sleight of hand that is the "Climate Change" crisis of the moment. Sorry, you cannot show any sleight of hand. It is quite evident that you haven't studied any of the science. We had far warmer temperatures earlier in our history, and far colder. Far warmer in our history? Says who? But true believers in a religious cause can't be "convinced." There goes the old irony meter again. |

In either direction. Be it up or down, one year is not enough to make a yea or nay statement. Sunspot activity, or lack there of has long been known to create drastic cold spells as with the so called "Maunder Minimum" and the little ice age. Temperature and precip vary widely from year to year and local to local so taken by itself this past year is only a blip in a sea of change. Give it another 10 years and then *maybe* we can say it probably, might, could have meant something. :-)) Here (Midland MI) they are talking about the possibility of an all time record snow fall total. 4 1/2 miles out of town where I live it's been nothing special. The same is true in Minnesota. Some areas already are reporting record snow falls while less than 10 miles away (Minneapolis area) they have less than average. Here, so far our temperatures are running close to average or a tad above on the 10 year scale. Denny is about 10 to 15 miles from me and I'd bet his winter has been different than mine, or Midland's. Driving over to the old family farm (Breckenridge 30 mi SW of here) finds very little snow. I don't know how the temps have been over there. Roger Halstead (K8RI & ARRL life member) (N833R, S# CD-2 Worlds oldest Debonair) www.rogerhalstead.com |

Now, about the work "belief" I don't "believe" anything. I can see evidence and can see the logical result according to the best information available. Believers generally start with a need and use the belief to fill it. Religion is the best example of course, and one of the reasons that people get so riled up about it is investment.

So, no, I don't believe it, I just see it as a likely consequence based on my best understanding of the sciences involved. I have no investment and I'm not crying about the sky falling. How about you? Bertie I'm gonna be crying if the tax burden increases over 50% to fund more bureaucracy. How about you? Dan Now Dan, Bertie obviously knows the science of climate change very well, and she is sincerely concerned about the fate of the planet, and wants to make sure the polar bears get plenty of baby seals to eat and build up their body fat enough to get through the winter. There are more important things than people keeping warm and getting to work so they can buy food. And the sky can't fall, it is not affected by gravity. |

Obviously it doesn't matter who says what (though here's a sample: http://www.iarc.uaf.edu/highlights/2...g_from_LIA.pdf) This is the Big Problem with the Global Warming hysteria. Those who reasonably suggest that the evidence is inconclusive that Human Activity may not be completely responsible for the 0.6 C worldwide temperature rise over a 100 year period, and that even if there were a predictable rise the results will not be as catastrophic as the alarmists claim must be silenced (for the children's sake, of course). I'm a reasonable person, fish, camp, canoe, hunt, and hike, have written checks to support environmental issues, have various memberships in ecologically forward organizations, recycle, etc, etc, etc. So don't equate "Doubt about Global warming" with "wants to pollute the streams and kill the fish." That's an smear campaign and that's what's been going on -- though you will deny it. At this point, I'm done with this topic and done trying to reason with you. It's the wrong venue, though not really -- because one day -- when the Global Warming Nazis come collect the keys to your CO2 emitting, fossil-fuel burning, Global Impacting Cessna -- maybe you'll wished you'd stood up to their bullying.

On the "yes" side: US National Academy of Science U.S. National Research Council American Meteorological Society American Geophysical Union American Institute of Physics American Astronomical Society American Physical Society American Association for the Advancement of Science Geological Society of America American Chemical Society (yes! even the ACS!) On the "no" side: A hack novelist. So naturally, you believe (drum roll)...The Hack Novelist! Good thinking. |
