I have an opinion on global warming!

Thing is, the proposal is that the average temperature is increasing. One effect of that is expected to be increases in the energy of weather systems. No one is suggesting that it is going to be hotter everywhere all of the time. That's what it is - a proposal. I figured that global warming was natural, but after a discussion on another group I did some research and now doubt it's even occurring at all. Satellite and balloon readings show no warming. Only surface measurements, and they are very susceptible to errors. For instance cities growing and encroaching on once rural measuring stations. A tenth of a degree increase and alarm bells go off. -- Gene Seibel Tales of Flight - http://pad39a.com/gene/tales.html Because I fly, I envy no one. |

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.

OTOH, there seems to be some doubt whether the Earth's northern polar region is currently as warm as it was in Viking times. Regrettably, I don't have the free time at the moment to search for the references. Peter |

These predictions are coming from the application
of the same tools and techniques that have made reliable weather forecasts an everyday proposition. I don't see a "smiley" here -- so I can only conclude that your're serious? "Reliable weather forecasts"?? Where have you EVER seen one of those? I have been a student of meterology since taking several courses in college, some 25 years ago, and am here to tell you that there are NO accurate forecast models that function beyond 12 hours out. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

I have an opinion on global warming!
We're told that the unusally cold temps lately are a result of global
warming (ice caps melting). This morning on NPR my son and I both noticed a subtle-but-important shift in the nomenclature the "Global Warming" advocates are now using. The argument is now being framed in terms of "Global Climate Change", rather than "Global Warming" -- at least on NPR. I guess the advocates of this pseudo-science got tired of being ridiculed by folks who have been shivering through some of the coldest weather on record. Now they can just sit back and say "What, it's record-setting COLD? Hey, that's 'Global Climate Change' at work." It's amazing how gullible some of the supposedly smartest people in the world can be. Of course, this is happening in a society that spends $7 BILLION dollars annually on...bottled *water*. Marketing rules. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Nothing, of course, has changed since then in terms of new scientific methods of studying weather, no new accumulation of knowledge by those whose full-time profession it is to study it. You shiver in an upper mid-west microcosm, so the scientists are wrong. Well, I know I'm in the minority here, but IMHO no one in this group so far has the credentials to mount a counter argument to the global warming theorists. How it affects GA is the least of my worries for my progeny. |
