Climate change is natural: 100 reasons why
** EXPRESS NEWS: 100 REASONS WHY GLOBAL WARMING IS NATURAL**
1) There is “no real scientific proof” that the current warming is caused by the rise of greenhouse gases from man’s activity.
2) Man-made carbon dioxide emissions throughout human history constitute less than 0.00022 percent of the total naturally emitted from the mantle of the earth during geological history.
3) Warmer periods of the Earth’s history came around 800 years before rises in CO2 levels.
4) After World War II, there was a huge surge in recorded CO2 emissions but global temperatures fell for four decades after 1940.
5) Throughout the Earth’s history, temperatures have often been warmer than now and CO2 levels have often been higher – more than ten times as high.
6) Significant changes in climate have continually occurred throughout geologic time.
7) The 0.7C increase in the average global temperature over the last hundred years is entirely consistent with well-established, long-term, natural climate trends.
8) The IPCC theory is driven by just 60 scientists and favourable reviewers not the 4,000 usually cited.
9) Leaked e-mails from British climate scientists – in a scandal known as “Climate-gate” - suggest that that has been manipulated to exaggerate global warming
10) A large body of scientific research suggests that the sun is responsible for the greater share of climate change during the past hundred years.
11) Politicians and activiists claim rising sea levels are a direct cause of global warming but sea levels rates have been increasing steadily since the last ice age 10,000 ago
12) Philip Stott, Emeritus Professor of Biogeography at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London says climate change is too complicated to be caused by just one factor, whether CO2 or clouds
13) Peter Lilley MP said last month that “fewer people in Britain than in any other country believe in the importance of global warming. That is despite the fact that our Government and our political class—predominantly—are more committed to it than their counterparts in any other country in the world”.
14) In pursuit of the global warming rhetoric, wind farms will do very little to nothing to reduce CO2 emissions
15) Professor Plimer, Professor of Geology and Earth Sciences at the University of Adelaide, stated that the idea of taking a single trace gas in the atmosphere, accusing it and finding it guilty of total responsibility for climate change, is an “absurdity”
16) A Harvard University astrophysicist and geophysicist, Willie Soon, said he is “embarrassed and puzzled” by the shallow science in papers that support the proposition that the earth faces a climate crisis caused by global warming.
17) The science of what determines the earth’s temperature is in fact far from settled or understood.
18) Despite activist concerns over CO2 levels, CO2 is a minor greenhouse gas, unlike water vapour which is tied to climate concerns, and which we can’t even pretend to control
19) A petition by scientists trying to tell the world that the political and media portrayal of global warming is false was put forward in the Heidelberg Appeal in 1992. Today, more than 4,000 signatories, including 72 Nobel Prize winners, from 106 countries have signed it.
20) It is claimed the average global temperature increased at a dangerously fast rate in the 20th century but the recent rate of average global temperature rise has been between 1 and 2 degrees C per century - within natural rates
21) Professor Zbigniew Jaworowski, Chairman of the Scientific Council of the Central Laboratory for Radiological Protection in Warsaw, Poland says the earth’s temperature has more to do with cloud cover and water vapor than CO2 concentration in the atmosphere.
22) There is strong evidence from solar studies which suggests that the Earth’s current temperature stasis will be followed by climatic cooling over the next few decades
23) It is myth that receding glaciers are proof of global warming as glaciers have been receding and growing cyclically for many centuries
24) It is a falsehood that the earth’s poles are warming because that is natural variation and while the western Arctic may be getting somewhat warmer we also see that the Eastern Arctic and Greenland are getting colder
25) The IPCC claims climate driven “impacts on biodiversity are significant and of key relevance” but those claims are simply not supported by scientific research

I liked seeing so many reason about the fallacy in one place. I was also watching How the Earth was made tonight on History. It was the episode about the Sahara Dessert. It's amazing how the change in tilt of the Earth wobble on it's axis turned it from grass lands to desert in 7000 years. Also that transformation led to the Egyptian empire.
Scientist had learned so much about the World since I was in School. I always assumed the Sahara was brought about by over use of the soil, and deforestation by humans over the eons.But that just goes to show, how small of an impact we make on the environment

RIGHT ON! thats pretty cool, i am not a sheep and Al Gore is not my Sheppard, i don't buy into global warming, that's why i drive my gas hog of a truck, and not some prius, wish i could make a movie, and guilt trip thousands of people and companies into buying eco-credits sold by my company, has anyone seen the new "electric cars" like the chevy volt ahaha what a joke "it just plugs into your wall at home" HELLO where does the electricity come from thin air? NO! power plats and more than likely coal fired power plants, burning fossil fuels to mine it, refine it, transport it, burn it, lose energy transporting it hundreds if not thousands of miles by power line and then finally into your "eco friendly" 40,000 dollar hunk of battery bio-hazard waste! ha

I am not drinking the Gore-Aide either, but since Barry took office and promised we would spend 50 million dollars to save $5,000 in energy a year, my company has been busy. only reason i got the job actually.. we do energy audits, biggest client is the millitary. They send me to bases to analyze energy usage and find ways to save them money. oK, I'll ride this till the wheels fall off... it's a paying job..

If Obama is going to put the coal mines out of business he had better figure out whats going to fill the 50% of electric demand now produced by coal plants, demand for electricity is growing faster than we can erect solar panels and wind turbines, it is my opinion that if people want to spend money to put solar panels on their house or erect a wind turbine in their back yard have at it, i would put up a turbine just so i could save money haha but coal plants have come a long way in the last couple of decades there's new burning processes and filtering that make them a lot cleaner than they were, and its only logical for power companies to want to build coal plants they are relatively cheap to build and run as compared to a Nuke plant, i grew up within 5 miles of 3 nuke plants in central new york, and i was never nervous that they would "blow up" or "melt down", but they are aging and two of them are reaching the end of their projected life span, what Obama needs to do is finish that billion dollar mountain storage facility, draft a set of concrete plans for plants that will make all plants identical, 'just like the french have' and put millions of Americans to work, building safe, clean, zero emission Nuke Plants
Heres some food for thought:
Gore’s mansion, located in the posh Belle Meade area of Nashville, consumes more electricity every month than the average American household uses in an entire year, according to the Nashville Electric Service (NES).
The average household in America consumes 10,656 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per year, according to the Department of Energy
. In 2006, Gore devoured nearly 221,000 kWh—more than 20 times the national average.

But I have come to the conclusion, the everyone has to stand for something, or they feel useless, and that is the biggest problem in the World today. Everyone has to have their purpose. Each and every person believe the BS that they cram down someone Else's throat. When in fact 99
% are sheep followig a shepherd(AL Gore) has many followers, and they actually believe the BS.

Global warming or no, I don't see why we shouldn't strive towards cleaner forms energy and so forth, if nothing else to help relive our dependence on foreign oil, and if in the end, we make the planet a nicer place to live then it sounds like we have a win win...

We have enough energy of our own, to not be dependent on foreign resources. But there are laws in place by our own Government that keep us from exploiting them.
