Global Warming or NONE LIKE IT HOT!

Expand Post »
Just thought that since this is such a big topid these days and that there are so many threads that have really gotten on to this topic one way or another i should start a dedicated thread on Global warming and what you all think of it.

As i have said on many occasions i have said that i am all for caring for our enviroment and doing our bit to keep the planet in a good condition but that i think this whole global warming nonsense that we have swallowed is BS. I think that even if Global warming was a reality humans are not having as big an impact as all the Greens are trying to tell us.

Re: Global Warming or NONE LIKE IT HOT!

well said. The climate has been changing for billions of years. Compared to other interglacial periods the climate at the moment is actually rather stable, so taking the very long term view humans may actually stabilise the climate (if you use the same kind of logic the greens use, and consider human activity the sole cause for everything that's different from the past), helping prevent the onset of the inevitable next ice age.

Re: Global Warming or NONE LIKE IT HOT!

I just don't think that there is enough evidence that the planet is heating up. I think that the main motivation behind alot of it is money. There is money to be made of the movies about it. Money to be made of the "Green Solutions". Money to be made off Carbon Trading. Al Gore by the way has invested in all of these things.

Im not saying that all the Greens are simply out to make money either. There are definatly people out there who simply believe everything they are told when it comes to the enviroment but alot of the big Anti-global warming activists like Al Gore are just in it to make money.

Re: Global Warming or NONE LIKE IT HOT!

I would agree with the general consensus here so far, based on what I've seen elsewhere. I would also like to note something I saw written down that seemed interesting to me.

Several years ago, (sometime in the early 90's if I recall correctly) the 'average' global temperature is supposed to have undergone a massive spike. This seems to have coincided with the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Anybody know how many temperature-reading systems were in Soviet-held territory?

Nicely worded, I think mankind's contribution is about 1%. The sun's often large fluctuations in energy output has never been incorporated into the computer models of the global warming effect. That would have made the calculations too complex!

In these "global warming" rants, I never see (or hear) anyone mention that the polar ice caps on Mars are shrinking. Sort of looks like either the little green men are the cause of it all or maybe part (a large part) is natural and not a result of anything humans are doing. Whether we can do anything to fix it remains to be seen, but the least we can do is to stop Al Gore from flying all over the world on private jets.

Actually the scientists that are trying to make money off this have an explanation for that one as well. Solar winds are throwing dust up into the atmostphere of mars and therefore causing a greenhouse effect on it. It sounds like BS to me but apparently that was enough evidence needed to disregard it completely.

What ever happend to the holes in the ozone and Global cooling?
