That ain't proof till my fishnet speedos are a hang'n on that line too.....

Not sure about the truth in GW, one thing fer sure is the planet has never been here before, perhaps this is what it does as it ages, I dunno.
What I do know is the extreme left, of the likes of algore, who has capitalized on it GREATLY, only to fuel the possibilities of more warming at the hands of man made CO2 by his lavish lifestyle (green footprint) and the incessant, angry, belittling of opposing opines, for political fodder, has not led to a more open and honest exchange, where if in fact the "charge" is true, makes their motivation all the more suspect.....and sad too, for it seems the green they are concerned with is their own $$$$$$$$

Chicken Little: "the sky is falling"

scientific facts:

29% of earth's surface is land mass, humans occupy 1% of that 29% ..

when carbon dioxide levels rise, ocean plant life flourishes..
Atmospheric oxygen comes from plant life in the ocean NOT rain forests (20yrs ago the liberals were trying to save the rain forests)

when atmospheric oxygen levels rise, polar glaciation occurs which lowers sea temperature, quite simply: reverses any warming trend.

earth dynamics (ocean & atmospheric) cycle up and down in a sine-wave style when illustrated as a graph (as above replies illustrate)

20yrs ago liberals would have us believe shrinking rain forests would cause global oxygen depletion which we now know was false.
Today liberals believe man's puny 1% footprint of earth's LAND MASS (land = 29% of global surface) will effect global temperatures?

Earth oceanic & atmospheric conditions will continue to "cycle" normally as it has for millions of years.
Al Gore is Chicken Little

North Country your ignorance would be laughable if not for the level of arrogance you open with..

you actually believe 80yrs has any significance in regards to earth history? you obviously don't read with comprehension and it shows.

You and Al Gore are genuine buffoons. You ignore facts laid out in front of you just to remain loyal to the failed liberal agendas

Here's why your plant a tree idea is a bad one. It distorts reality and over emphasizes a problem that is minor. The Left would rather see others in the undeveloped world stay that way so it will help appease their guilt.....
Read the great article at the link below.

Perhaps this should be in it's own thread.  If fossil fuels are that big of a concern now, what is the world going to be like in 40 years? The global population is expected to surpass 10B.  How are that many people going to inhabit the planet in a manner other than 3rd world conditions in every every continent?

JOG may be right again - Georgia Guide Stones.

OK boys & girls, now STOP IT! or else I get mad at you...  


Anybody out there ever been in the 3rd Grade ? Ever heard of the Dinosaurs ?

How were the temperatures back then ? Ever heard of "Paleometereologists" ? Ever heard of "Tree Rings" and "Petrified Forests" ?

Exactly WHEN did Man begin measuring temperatures with accurate and reliable instruments, and keep historical records ?

First things first, back in the days of the dinosaurs, Earth temperatures were much higher, and humidity was much higher than today.
Fossil evidence shows that large dinosaurs (cold blooded animals)roamed not only portions of now semitropical Earth, but also areas which today are continental or even semi-arctic.
Fossil evidence being not only the dinos themselves, but mostly plant life.
Where are the largest coal deposits? In modern-day semiarctic areas.
Ancient rain forests in North Germany, Canada and Siberia ? YUP !

Secondly, studying tree rings in petrified forests tells us a lot on how the climate was in those days.
High temperatures, high humidity, high CO2 (where were factories and fossil fuels back then ?   ) no polar ice caps...

The planet has lived through many, many hot-cold cycles.
3rd Grade tells us that the last Ice Age ended about 12000 BC.
TO ME that means the planet has been warming for the last 14000 years.

Fossil fuels only came around the 1700's... in the form of COAL, mostly in Germany and England.
THAT's when smog started. GMC and your neighbor's SUV has nothing to do with it.
Your Sunday BBQ should be fined and shut down because hot coals produce zillion times more CO and CO2 than a SUV cruising at 60mph...

Where does CO2 come from ?

1. Decomposing sea plants - try stopping that !
2. Volcanoes - try putting a lid on those !
3. Farting cattle... YUP! A toast to Gyrobiob and his "wheat belly" thing...
4. Decomposing plant life on dry land
5. Ordinary breathing of ALL animal life on Earth and natural forest fires,
6. Man-made Industry, for the last 2-5% of ALL GLOBAL YEARLY CO2 production;
I say 2-5% because it depends on the area.

So shut down your air conditioning, ride a bicycle the 25 miles to work, have a cold shower, eat more home-grown eggs and veggies, and stop buying all produce that comes from more than 50 miles away (no more Idaho potatoes...)

OR

Get a grip, and realize you can't stop the Earth from spinning...
...it's just another cycle...
...the real problem is the spin doctors are making the gullibles think it's the end of the world...

PS

Exactly WHEN did Man begin measuring temperatures with accurate and reliable instruments, and keep historical records ?
Answer: around 1860.
Which means we have NO IDEA of how temperatures were from the times of Adam& Eve until 1860, other than looking at tree rings...

JOG, accusing others of seeing boogiemen?... ...
