And no where in the article does it say “global warming” is man made. Your article supports what I’ve said..
Roux’ article says fossil burning fuel and deforestation cause warming. The whole point of it is that today’s man-made warming could have an effect on the climate thousands of years from now.
No, it talks of wild climatic swings, long before man was here.
Geologists turned up evidence that the past few million years, during which the ice sheets cycled back and forth, was an unusual time in the Earth’s history.
Fred, you apparently are not capable of reading and understanding the entire article, much less a scientific paper on the topic. Picking out a phrase here and there and thinking it reinforces your whole politico-theological doctrine on the inability of man to affect natural history is laughable. It is, however, the way your thought process works, both with science and with politics. That’s a pity.
I understand. I also understand their study goes back only to the pleistocene age.. Other studies go back much further, even to the Permian.. These guys do postulate that they think mans addition of gasses could be a factor, but even they are not sure. So no smoking gun boooby.. And this won’t completely support your political agenda on climate.
The pity is I read the whole article.. Actually pretty good.. But you read it through politically shaded glasses. I don’t.
GISS’s computerised temperature maps seemed to show readings across a large part of Russia had been up to 10 degrees higher than normal. But when expert readers of the two leading warming-sceptic blogs, Watts Up With That and Climate Audit, began detailed analysis of the GISS data they made an astonishing discovery. The reason for the freak figures was that scores of temperature records from Russia and elsewhere were not based on October readings at all. Figures from the previous month had simply been carried over and repeated two months running.
A surreal scientific blunder last week raised a huge question mark about the temperature records that underpin the worldwide alarm over global warming. On Monday, Nasa’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS), which is run by Al Gore’s chief scientific ally, Dr James Hansen, and is one of four bodies responsible for monitoring global temperatures, announced that last month was the hottest October on record.
So what explained the anomaly? GISS’s computerised temperature maps seemed to show readings across a large part of Russia had been up to 10 degrees higher than normal. But when expert readers of the two leading warming-sceptic blogs, Watts Up With That and Climate Audit, began detailed analysis of the GISS data they made an astonishing discovery. The reason for the freak figures was that scores of temperature records from Russia and elsewhere were not based on October readings at all. Figures from the previous month had simply been carried over and repeated two months running.
It was no minor error booooby. There’s a schitload of conflicting data out there.. Anyone who claims to have the definitive answser (Al Gore) is full of krap.. Global cooling actually presents a far more danger to society than does global warming. I beleive these swings are normal, and man’s influence on them is minimal at best..
Now is the time for President Bush to bring the debate on global warming out into the open by firing James Hansen of GISS. There certainly is cause for firing him. And since the GISS data has been the primary data source for the global warming alarmists, publicizing the unreliability of their data is crucial to defeating carbon taxes.
It’s not the first time, either that his “records” fail any test of accuracy and that he’s tap danced away from any notion of being accountable for his errors.
Climate change skeptics on Capitol Hill are quietly watching a growing accumulation of global cooling science and other findings that could signal that the science behind global warming may still be too shaky to warrant cap-and-trade legislation.
While the new Obama administration promises aggressive, forward-thinking environmental policies, Weather Channel co-founder Joseph D’Aleo and other scientists are organizing lobbying efforts to take aim at the cap-and-trade bill that Democrats plan to unveil in January.
So far, members of Congress have not been keen to publicly back the global cooling theory. But both senators from Oklahoma, Republicans Tom Coburn and Jim Inhofe, have often expressed doubts about how much of a role man-made emissions play.
I guess since Obama has mounted his Unicorn and solved all problems it’s over…
I recently asked whether the world is poised to enter an Obama-style “trance” on climate policy given the focus on economic turmoil and plunge in oil prices, which have in the past seemed synchronized with concerns about transforming energy policy. (Keep in mind that the chief executive officer of Gulf Oil said Wednesday that oil could drop to $20 a barrel and gasoline $1 a gallon).
A rare winter storm swept through Southern Nevada Wednesday, dumping the most snow on the valley in nearly three decades, grounding flights at the airport, forcing the closure of major highways and closing schools for today.
“This is the most snow we’ve had in Las Vegas in almost 30 years,” said Chris Stachelski, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service. “It’s a significant historical event.”
And to quote that reporter who’s name I can’t remember, “all this extremely cold freezing weather proves we are experiencing “global warming”.. Yea, and my conservative republican posts PROVES I am a liberal dimocrat!!!
