Global Warming, what's really happening.

Man made global warming proponents think that everyone who doesn't agree with them are ignoring the overwhelming body of scientific evidence and consensus of scientists. Is global warming real, or man made? Let's take a look. http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2007/02/070228-mars-warming.html Simultaneous warming on Earth and Mars suggests that our planet's recent climate changes have a natural—and not a human-induced—cause, according to one scientist's controversial theory. National Geographic News - Feb 28, 2007. http://www.canadafreepress.com/2007/global-warming030207.htm Global Warming on Mars & Cosmic Ray Research Are Shattering Media Driven "Consensus". Canada Free Press - Mar 2, 2007. http://abcnews.go.com/2020/Story?id=3061015&page=1 The fundamentalist doom mongers also ignore scientists who say the effects of global warming may be benign. Harvard astrophysicist Sallie Baliunas said added CO2 in the atmosphere may actually benefit the world because more CO2 helps plants grow. Warmer winters would give farmers a longer harvest season, and might end the droughts in the Sahara Desert. Why don't we hear about this part of the global warming argument? "It's the money!" said Dr. Baliunas. "Twenty-five billion dollars in government funding has been spent since 1990 to research global warming. If scientists and researchers were coming out releasing reports that global warming has little to do with man, and most to do with just how the planet works, there wouldn't be as much money to study it." ABC 2020 - Apr 20, 2007 http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2008/may/16/global-warming-myth/ On May Day, Noah Keenlyside of Germany's Leipzig Institute of Marine Science, published a paper in Nature forecasting no additional global warming "over the next decade." Al Gore and his minions continue to chant that "the science is settled" on global warming, but the only thing settled is that there has not been any since 1998. Washington Times - May 16, 2008 The national review posted the top 10 myths on Feb 20, 2007. Here are the top 10 in brief. You can read the full story at http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=19468 10. The U.S. is going it alone on Kyoto and global warming.Nonsense. The U.S. rejects the Kyoto Protocol’s energy-rationing scheme, along with 155 other countries, representing most of the world’s population, economic activity and projected future growth. 9. Global-warming proposals are about the environment. Proponents candidly admit desires to control others’ lifestyles, and supportive industries all hope to make millions off the deal. 8. Climate change is the greatest threat to the world's poor. Climate -- or more accurately, weather -- remains one of the greatest challenges facing the poor. Climate change adds nothing to that calculus, however. 7. Global warming means more frequent, more severe storms. Here again the alarmists cannot even turn to the wildly distorted and politicized “Summary for Policy Makers” of the UN’s IPCC to support this favorite chestnut of the press. 6. Global warming has doomed the polar bears! For some reason, Al Gore’s computerized polar bear can’t swim, unlike the real kind, as one might expect of an animal named Ursa Maritimus. On the whole, these bears are thriving, if a little less well in those areas of the Arctic that are cooling (yes, cooling). 5. Climate change is raising the sea levels. Even the distorted United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change reports refute the hysteria, finding no statistically significant change in the rate of increase over the past century of man’s greatest influence. 4. The glaciers are melting! The glacial retreat we read about is selective, however. Glaciers are also advancing all over, including lonely glaciers nearby their more popular retreating neighbors. 3. Climate was stable until man came along. Swallowing this whopper requires burning every basic history and science text, just as “witches” were burned in retaliation for changing climates in ages (we had thought) long past. 2. The science is settled -- CO2 causes global warming. What scientists do agree on is little and says nothing about man-made global warming. 1. It’s hot in here! The claim that the 1990s were the hottest decade on record specifically targets the intellectually lazy and easily frightened, ignoring numerous obvious factors. “On record” obviously means a very short period, typically the past 100+ years, or since the end of the Little Ice Age. I could go on and on, but this is already long enough. Datadiver08
