When an old hack politician can generate $100,000,000 on a scam that convinces people their SUV is making it warmer half way around the globe, anything can happen. Ain't America grand? PS They better be running those SUVs off the road in Perth to cool it down a bit. Send them all to NE where they are freezing their a___ off.

Man-made global warming is bs. The earth is dynamic; it heats and cools continuously. Was the industrialization of humans responsible for the end of the last ice age? It simply an excuse to drain your wallet. |

Replying to: sidious6688 (Oct 23, 2008 4:25 pm) That effectively makes you broke, if you've been honest - playing by the rules: 1) after you pay your taxes, and 2) lose your 401K in the stock market. Oh and do you think social security is going to have $, as our leaders spend us into many trillions of debt? So drain, drain, drain, drain. This certainly doesn't seem like the U.S. that Thomas Jefferson and Ben Franklin helped spearhead the creation of.  Anyone who believes in GW and wants to stop it, please send me some $ then to pay my heating bills. |

Replying to: ruking1 (Oct 24, 2008 5:00 pm) I thought one of the methane release scenarios was that burning carbon fuels was warming the climate, resulting in more methane getting dumped into the atmosphere from a warming arctic, making the cycle more vicious?

Replying to: steve_ (Oct 24, 2008 5:08 pm) So barring base line release studies in artic/antartic conditions, etc. weather scientists probably are unwilling to link the hypothesis (or make the leap just yet), as to whether you get greater or lesser releases  a-z temperatures. They already know and or surmise there is literally inexhaustible methane "locked" and at times (24/7) released by the massive H20 pressures exerted by oceans. |

Replying to: sidious6688 (Oct 23, 2008 4:25 pm) Man is altering the climate. Hundreds of millions of vehicles, hundreds of coal power plants, deforestation, agriculture, dams, cities...they all add up. The important question is what impact are we having and what if anything can we do about it. "The earth is dynamic; it heats and cools continuously. " What part of the earth are you referring to? The ocean, atmosphere, the mantle or the core? Just because a system is dynamic does not mean you cannot alter the rate of change or the amplitude. One of the keys to understanding GW and climate is getting a handle on all the feedback loops. Was the industrialization of humans responsible for the end of the last ice age? Maybe.... "New research suggests humans were influencing the world's climate long before the Industrial Revolution." http://news.mongabay.com/2005/0909-niwa_csiro.html "It simply an excuse to drain your wallet. " Spoken like a true non-scientist. What I find funny is that people have no problem dropping $40,000 or $50,000 on a vehicle just because of the trinkets they throw in. But if you mention anything to do with spending money on understanding GW they have a cow.
