I know very little of the arguments of both sides in this. I have done a little research and have come to the conclusion that global warming as being a phenomenon being caused by man is a myth. The debating in here is what ticked me over to this conclusion. The evdience here to state that it is something not to be alarmed about it compelling.

Thanks guys

It is good to see the people debating so well for the arument against the man made global warming myth. I could cite my research here but it is only stuff that already been iterated in here again.

Again one thing that stands out and blows the argument for global warming, in my view, completely out of the water is that from 1940 to 1970 the temperatures actually dropped and then rose again to about the same temperatures before the temperature drop. If more carbon dioxide means more heat then surely during the the 40s and 50s when so much industrial development and activity was taking place the temperatures would not have dropped.

Seems like terrorism, global warming,etc are all just made up to keep us constantly in a state of fear.

Not only are you discrediting Stephen Hawking, now you are denying even the most basic scientific facts. Your argument isn't look too good anymore.Look at how much C02 we spew compared to other non-human processes.

But feel free to continue using your 'deny everything' tactic if it makes you feel better...


Sorry pal, but the only "denial" is by those spreading this myth of man-made global warming. I could care less what Hawking says. In fact, as early as 1989, Hawking and many other mainstream scientists didn't even acknowledge global warming, much less man-made climate change, and many laughed at the mention of "global warming" ~ that is ~ until the millions of federal dollars to study it started filling their coffers.

Then, the myth of man-made global warming started and took off in the 1990s. You can even match the increase in climate science funding to the myth of man-made global warming hand-in-hand. The more monies devoted to study it, the more mainstream scientists began pushing it. Even in the scientific world ~ the dollar is king.

When the tens of multi-millions (almost billion) in federal and international dollars start to dry up on man-made climate change, just watch how many scientists drop it like a bad habit. They will go back to doing what they were doing before ~ and that was laughing at man-made climate change, and they were laughing before the money shut them up and they filled their pockets with money they did not deserve in the first place on man-made climate change. Why? Because it does not exist. It never did.

In classical scientific astrology, there are known celestial cycles of 36 years. We are currently in what is called the Cycle of the Sun (1980-2016) ~ and during the first 26 years of this cycle, the Sun has been witnessed to have doubled its magnetic field activity, causing radiation storms over the Earth's atmosphere which caused holes in the ozone layer in the 1980s and all of the 1990s. We are currently in the 27th year of solar forcing of the Earth's climate.

Some of the hottest years of the 20th century took place between 1980 to 2006, with one of the hottest years being 1988, 1991, 1995, 1998, when the Sun was at maximum peak magnetic activity, and again, in 2003, when auroras were witnessed worldwide. Temperature records over the last 27 years can be matched exactly to solar forcing of the Earth's climate. My argument for Solar Forcing is backed up by tons of evidence. Much of it on this thread.

In in this link, see the scientific data of how the Sun forces Earth's Climate ~

http://www.geo.arizona.edu/palynology/geos...0climsolar.html

Although I am sure Al Gore and those who believe in man-made climate change mean well, but the evidence they present is just not proof of man-made global warming. It is proof of just plain GLOBAL WARMING ~ which has been ongoing since 1980.

Remember the facts ~ that during the height of human industrial production worldwide, the Earth's climate actually COOLED. This was also due to the Sun. Most people who push man-made climate change do not seem to fully appreciate just how powerful the Sun truly is and how the Sun forces all climate change, not just on Earth, but on other planets as well where there is no human Co2 production.

Those who want to force everyone else to accept climate change as "man-made" mindlessly are only fooling themselves, and in denial about astrophysical and geophysical laws, and facts.

No amount of negative environmentalistic mantras like "only that corporations and man is the cause of global warming" ~ is going to change the facts that the Sun forces the Earth's climate. Those who fail to see that the Sun is the direct cause should have a reality check and stop blaming humans for what they are not doing, and never did, and that is cause global climate change through Co2 production. Carbon is natural to the Earth, we are also made of it, and the oceans and mountains emit much more carbon into the atmosphere than we humans ever could.

There is no reason to deny less developed countries, like those in Africa, the means to have electricity, or to demand that they use solar energy when developed countries do not use solar. Using the resources of the Earth cleanly is GOOD for business, and good for the world. To deny less developed nations the means to grow by using the falsity of "man-made global warming" is a crime because it is not true. It never was and never will be.

It is the Sun that is the cause of all climate changes on the Earth ~ both global cooling AND global warming. Humans are not able to either cool and warm the earth, and there is NOTHING we can do to stop the activity of the Sun. All we can do is adapt to clmate changes, while learning how to not pollute our air, and sea water.

As for global warming and climate change ~ ONLY the SUN can do this and that is exactly what that star in the skies has been doing since the Earth became a planet ~ forcing climate change.

We've been hearing a lot about global warming. It's real, they say. We've got to do something, they say. Al Gore even is even an Oscar candidate for his documentary on the subject.

To them, I say: Let's see some proof without the politics.

Look, there's no question that climates have been warmer over the past several years than we're used to. Mississippi Delta winters haven't been very cold, and when the weather has been cold, it hasn't stayed that way for very long.

But isn't it a bit puzzling that while the alarmists are screaming that the earth is getting hotter and the polar ice caps are melting, that much of the United States and parts of Europe are blanketed with snow? Some areas of the Northeast and Midwest just got a fresh coat of 10 inches or more.
Even here in the Deep South, we've been getting predictions of snow at a time of year that normally offers previews of spring.

But what do I know? The global science community says we're doomed because the earth is hotter and we humans caused it.

I'm sorry, but I'm just not buying it. I mean, yeah, average temperatures have been warmer than they were, say, 30 years ago. But how can anyone look at 100-year-old data and come to any realistic conclusions? Think about it. Most of us weren't around in 1907, so we have no idea what it was like. All we have to go on is what's in the record books. And bear in mind, weather-related technology wasn't very advanced back then. Heck, even as advanced as it is now, meteorologists can't tell us where the rain will fall tomorrow or how many inches we're going to get. But we're supposed to believe the scientific community knows with absolute certainty that the earth is gonna fry in a few years.

Give me a break.


This is not to say that we shouldn't stop polluting the environment, or that we shouldn't reduce consumption of fossil fuels. Buying hybrid cars and turning to alternative fuels make sense for many reasons, not the least of which is the need to end our dependency on foreign oil.

But exactly how much of an impact are we having on the planet? Just 30 years ago, the conventional thinking was the earth was headed toward a new ice age. A 1975 article in Newsweek magazine, titled “The Cooling World,” included a suggestion that the Arctic ice caps be intentionally melted to prevent such a calamity.

Three decades later, they're saying the melting ice caps are caused by global warming.

Sorry, but I just don't believe humans have are smart enough to manipulate the weather like that. To not only prevent an ice age but also make the planet hotter than it was before The Great Cooling, and to do it in just 32 years on a planet estimated to be 4.5 billion years old?

If the knowledge and technology of the 1970s, '80s and '90s gave us the means to do that, by now we should have mastered the art of eliminating baseball rain delays. And tornados? Hurricanes? They'd never happen.

Granted, the experts know a great deal more about climate changes than I do. But do we have enough data to conclude, beyond all reasonable doubt, that what we're experiencing isn't a natural cycle that will swing toward a cooler earth in the next 10-20 years?

Mind you, it was only last August that experts decided Pluto wasn't a planet - some 76 years after a scientist “discovered” it and said it was a planet. I guess astrological mood swings take twice as long as climate reversals.

So where does that leave us?

Well, I think the data on world climate projections is inconclusive. And that which supports the theory of global warming has become so politicized, it's difficult to give it any credence.

The frenzy about global warming has a lot more to do with shifting money from one hand to another than it does any real science. The alarmists blame capitalistic USA for the planet's demise and want good ol' USA to fix it by giving money away.

So believe in global warming if you want to. Me? I'm going to keep a heavy coat and some extra socks handy.

Politics sux, yes. Iv'e lived in the Australian Outback for 25 years. In the last 10 years nothing is as it used to be. The weather is backtofront and ass about. Cold when Its hot, floods when its dry as a bone. In land monsoons, and where bloody well 1000 kms from the nearest beach. Also reacently in Kakadu I believe we had our first Tornado. I thought they only happened in the northern hemisphere, USA etc. The Aussie wildlife have spent millions of years adapting to this country. Big and small alike are now starting to show signs of depletion. Though experiance with studies of reptiles and native flora and fauna Ive seen a change in behaviour and the ongoing adaptions. Bush fires never cease, droughts and floodings in places unexpected.

All your posts are the same, you just keep calling it a myth and saying it's impossible for us to affect our atmosphere.

Well, you can keep on "LOL" ~ but obviously, you express little knowledge about Classical Astrology as you do about what is causing global warming. Try reading more seriously, and paying closer attention, that would greatly help you to understand why the Earth's climate behaves the way that it does.

God regulates all things, and time would not exist without the motion of the planets. Moreover, it was classical astrologers who maintained that the Earth was NOT flat, and that it revolved around the Sun. Check your facts, and learn about classical astrology rather than mocking something you clearly don't have a clue as to what you are talking about, ok?

By the way, your "graph" doesn't prove "global warming" so you ought to try to do better than that. Get real dude.

Try more scientific facts rather than believing in the myth of "man-made global warming" ~ because if anything is funny, it is that ~

Global Warming: Why The Sun Is The Cause, Not People
By Theodore White, Astrometeorologist

As the worldwide hype over man-made climate change peaks with the advent of Al Gore's film, An Inconvenient Truth and the 2007 climate change report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) there continues to be little evidence that humans are the cause of worldwide climate change, or, global warming.

The stated claims of the IPCC, which was created by the United Nations in 1988 was to assess what was called scientific information relevant to "human-induced climate change" and the "impacts of human-induced climate change" to develop "options for adaptation and mitigation."

What is often missed is that all the scientific data does not support man-made climate change, but rather ~ the opposite ~ solar forced climate change.

Meaning that the Sun is the cause of what is known as "global warming."

Back in the 1980s, when climate scientists began to notice that sea-surface temperatures were rising, speculation developed that suggested that perhaps the release of carbon into the atmosphere was the cause.

This came about in part because of climate research that showed that the Earth's ozone layers at the poles were showing signs of stress. We now know that the reasons for this was due to the increased magnetic activity of the Sun, which caused intense radiation storms just above the Earth's atmosphere ~ resulting in gaps observed in the Earth's ozone layers.

Several years ago over 17,000 scientists signed a petition about the Kyoto Protocol that stated that "there is no credible evidence that harmful man induced climate change (global warming) is occurring."

They also maintained this about the Earth's ozone layer ~

"The ozone holes in the atmosphere in the Arctic and Antarctic regions are naturally occurring due to meteorological effects, expanding and contracting with the change of season. The meteorological effects consist of high velocity stratospheric level winds that peak during local winter and act to destroy ozone. Also there is less ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the Sun due to the inclination of Earth's axis during hemispheric Winter.

Another variability impacting ozone layer density is the +/- 11 year sunspot cycle. When solar activity is intense at a peak of a solar cycle the ozone layer density increases due to increased UV radiation, just the opposite occurs at the bottom of solar cycle when the Sun is relatively quiet. Changes in ozone layer density is a normal occurrence."


Back in the late 1980s, the majority of mainstream climate scientists didn't even acknowledge global warming, much less man-made climate change, and laughed at the mention of "global warming" ~ that is ~ until the millions of federal and international dollars to study climate change started filling their coffers.

The myth of man-made global warming took off in the early 1990s, and continued throughout the decade as sea-surface temperatures and world temperatures continued to rise to record levels. Clearly, the Earth was warming, but the question remained: what was causing it?

One can match the increase in climate science funding to the increasingly shrill calls blaming global warming on man-made emissions. The more monies devoted to global warming ~ the more mainstream scientists and the media began pushing this myth onto the worldwide public stage.

Even in the scientific world ~ the dollar is king.

When the tens of multi-millions (almost billion) in federal and international dollars start to dry up on man-made climate change, just watch how many scientists drop the premise of man-made climate change like a bad habit.

They will go back to doing what they were doing before ~ and that was laughing at man-made climate change, and they were laughing before the money shut them up and they filled their pockets with money they did not deserve in the first place on man-made climate change.

Why?

Because man-made global warming does not exist.

It never did.

In classical scientific astrology, there are known celestial cycles ranging from months, to years, and over many decades that repeat themselves and correlate to events, including climate and weather. Astrometeorology is one of the oldest branches of classical scientific astrology, as Kim Farnell notes ~

"The forecasting of weather was considered to be part of natural astrology, which encompassed a geocosmic relationships between celestial phenomena and the natural environment of the Earth. It was considered a unified, reputable body of knowledge and formed an important part of natural philosophy. The study of natural astrology reflected the view of the universe that everything is connected. All earthly forms were seen as bound to the power of the Sun, Moon, stars, planets, and other phenomena of celestial or atmospheric origin, such as meteor showers, comets, aurora borealis, lightning, and precipitation."

"Johannes Kepler (1571-1630) noted that certain magnetic angles among the planets had a major bearing upon weather patterns. He discovered further harmonic or magnetic angles of planetary configurations and also observed that certain types of terrestrial weather patterns coincided with certain magnetic angles forming among the planets. Before he conceived his laws of planetary motion, Kepler's initial recognition came through his accurate long-range weather forecasting in predicting the bitterly cold winter in Austria in 1593. Kepler published his observations from June 28 1618 to August 9 1629."

One such astrological cycle is one that lasts 36 years. We are currently in what is called the Cycle of the Sun (1980-2016) ~ and during the first 26 years of this cycle, the Sun has been witnessed to have doubled its magnetic field activity, causing intense radiation storms over the Earth's atmosphere which caused gaps in the Earth's ozone layers during the late 1980s and continued into the 1990s.

We are currently in the 27th year of solar forcing of the Earth's climate. The Sun has just recently reached its minimum phase and is expected to peak once again at maximum sometime in the years 2010-2012.

Some of the hottest years on record of the 20th century have taken place between 1980 to 2005 ~ among the hottest years being 1988, 1991, 1995, 1998 & 2005, when the Sun was recorded having some of its most powerful magnetic field activity.

Those years witnessed record high temperatures, powerful storms and hurricanes during the El Nino years of 1997/1998 when record heavy rains drenched the west coast of the U.S. and Canada, while heavy floods from hurricanes ravaged regions in Central America, where devastating storms resulted in the loss of thousands of lives.

Back in the year 1995, hundreds of people in the Midwest of the United States died because of oppressive summer heat. Global warming was highlighted again in Europe in 2003, when over 35,000 Europeans died because of the stifling summer heat.

Since the hottest years of the last century have taken place in the last 15 years, the calls blaming global warming on human Co2 emissions have risen as fast as the media and political pressures to "reverse" it.

But how can anyone reverse climate change on Earth that is caused directly by that star in the skies we call the Sun?

Temperature records over the last 27 years can be matched exactly to solar forcing of the Earth's climate. My argument for Solar Forcing is backed up by scientific evidence. Paleo-climatologists, climate scientists, astrophysicists and geophysicists have continue to maintain that the Sun is the cause of climate change ~ both global warming and global cooling.

The scientific evidence clearly shows that what is called man-made global warming is indeed a myth.

Moreover, many people who support the man-made global warming seem to ignore that some of the coldest winters in recorded history have also taken place during this time of global warming.

Climate scientists have noted that ~

"The record cold of the decades of the 1890's, 1940's, 1970's, 1980's and most recently the bitter northern hemisphere winters of 2000-2001, 2001-2002, 2002-2003 argue against the occurrence of harmful man induced climate change (global warming).

Also the Winters of 2000/2001 and 2004/2005 in Siberian Russia, as well as Winter 2005/2006 in Antarctica were among some of the [i]coldest
in recorded history.

In January 2004, Boston, MA recorded one of the coldest month of January in 111 years. Grand Forks, ND set an all time record low of -44 degrees below zero and Fosston, MN saw also temperatures at -50 deg. below zero F and in Saskatchewan, Canada, saw record low temperatures fell to -62 deg. below zero F ~ all happening in the Winter of 2003/2004."[/i]

Below are more anomalous cold weather events that took place during the winters of 2004, 2005, 2006, and this past winter of 2007, that clearly depict that the Earth's climate is not only warming worldwide, but becoming increasingly colder as well.

In fact, astrological long-range climate forecasts continue to indicate that the Earth is transitioning from global warming to global cooling.

These anomalous colder events to come have already been taking place as a retired paleoclimatologist living in Florida has noted from news reports around the world during the years 2004 to 2007~

.....March 12, 2007 a North Pole expedition meant to bring attention to global warming was cancelled after one of the explorers got frostbite. The explorers, Ann Bancroft and Liv Arnesen, called off what was intended to be a 530-mile trek across the Arctic Ocean after Arnesen suffered frostbite on three of her toes. The extremely cold temperatures drained the batteries in their electronic equipment. Then there was the cold, quite a bit colder, Atwood said, then Bancroft and Arnesen had expected. One night they recorded the temperature inside their tent at 58 degrees below zero. Outside temperatures were exceeded 100 below zero at times, Atwood said. They were experienced temperatures that were not expected with global warming.....

.....Heavy snowfall in Indian-controlled Kashmir has claimed more than 100 lives, and dozens were still missing Monday, the BBC reported. The snow created avalanches over villages south of Srinagar, destroying homes and killing about 70 people. Indian soldiers and medical personnel were searching for survivors Monday in the region, where 15 feet of snow has fallen since Friday.....

.....Snow even fell in northernmost Africa. In Algeria, the city of Constantine laid under seven inches of snow. A few weeks prior the same region was hit with 24-26" of the white stuff.....

.....In northern Norway, the town of Kautokeino set consecutive lows of -27 and -26 degrees Monday and Tuesday. These were followed by afternoon highs of -12 and -10 degrees. In February, an average day here would have a low of 0 and a high of 13 degrees, so the weather has been considerably colder than usual.....

.....An impressive cold wave persisted over much of the Balkan Peninsula that same winter. In Serbia, Sjenica registered consecutive lows of -17, -21, -21, -19 and -20 degrees F, whereas February's mean daily low is 23. Bitola, Macedonia, dipped 11 to 14 degrees below zero each of these five mornings.....

.....Cold rains and mountain snows fell along the eastern shores of the Mediterranean Sea. The latest bout of wet weather boosted rainfall at Beirut, Lebanon, to about six inches since the start of the month. Snow fell low enough to blanket ground down to at least 1000 feet, thereby whitening the hills from Lebanon south into Israel and the West Bank, and also to Amman, Jordan.....


Those newsworthy and numerous anomalous weather events taken from around the world is proof that the Earth's climate is indeed in transition from global warming towards global cooling, that is solar-forced. All climate and weather starts in space, and end up as weather on Earth.

This global cooling is expected to pick up pace in the 2010s, and 2020s, and will peak around the year 2034/2035. This will mean less El Ninos and increasing La Nina climate conditions, along with much colder storms of the future. All this is forced by the Sun's activity. See ~

http://www.nexialinstitute.com/climate_el_nino.htm

According to my estimation, we are in the 27th year of Solar Forcing of the Earth's Climate. This global warming began in earnest in the year 1980, and according to my calculations, will come to an end in the year 2016.

While the world will continue to witness and experience the results of solar-forced global warming in rising sea-levels, excessive precipitation and powerful storms into the 2010s and 2020s, my astrological calculations shows that the Earth is headed for a colder cycle that will peak in the mid-2030s.

Until that time, we all will be living with what I call "extremes of weather" ~ in the form of increasingly anomalous climate conditions and weather events such as floods, strong tropical storms, hurricanes and cyclones, droughts, windstorms, heavy precipitation of continuing rains and significant snows, while the Earth transitions between warmer than average and colder than average temperatures.

Although I am sure Al Gore and those who believe in man-made climate change mean well, but the evidence they present is just not proof of man-made global warming. However, it is proof of just plain GLOBAL WARMING ~ which has been ongoing since 1980 and continues today.

Remember the facts ~ that during the height of human industrial production worldwide, the Earth's climate actually COOLED. This was also due to the Sun.

Most people who push the myth of man-made climate change do not seem to fully appreciate just how powerful the Sun truly is, and how the Sun forces all climate change, not just on Earth, but on other planets as well, where there is no human Co2 production and emissions.

Those who want to force everyone else to accept climate change as "man-made" mindlessly are only fooling themselves, and in denial about astrophysical and geophysical laws of the cosmos and of nature on Earth.

No amount of negative environmentalistic mantras like "only that corporations and man is the cause of global warming" ~ is going to change the facts that the Sun forces the Earth's climate.

Those who fail to see that the Sun is the direct cause should have a reality check and stop cease blaming humans for what they are not doing, and never did, and that is cause global climate change through Co2 production.

Carbon is natural to the Earth, we are also made of it, and the oceans and mountains emit much more carbon into the Earth's atmosphere than we humans ever could.

There is no reason to deny less developed countries, like those in Africa, the means to have electricity, or to demand that they use solar energy when developed countries do not widely use solar-energy.

Using the resources of the Earth cleanly is good for business, and good for the world. To deny less developed nations the means to develop and grow by using the falsity of "man-made global warming" is a crime because it is not true. It never was and never will be.

It is the Sun that is the cause of all climate changes on the Earth ~ both global cooling AND global warming. Humans are not able to either cool and warm the earth, and there is NOTHING we can do to stop the activity of the Sun. All we can do is adapt to climate changes, while learning how to not pollute our air, and sea water.

As for global warming and climate change ~ only the SUN can accomplish this, and that is exactly what that star in the skies has been doing since the Earth was created ~ forcing climate change ~ worldwide.

By the way, your "graph" doesn't prove "global warming" so you ought to try to do better than that. Get real dude.
Your unrealistic article is saying the biggest period of human industrial growth has come and gone when infact we are on a constant upward curve of C02 emissions. We are releasing more & more C02 into the air each year as my graph proves. Are you going to even deny that?

You are right about the sun causing climate change, yes it does happen but you are wrong where you think it's impossible for humans to hurt our atmosphere. Please explain to me how you think this C02 is being recycled when we are losing millions and millions of acres of trees every year from forest fires (from climate change) and deforestation. More greenhouse gases will increase the effects of climate change due to it trapping more of the suns rays.

The only thing "unrealistic" is just how much you under-estimate the Sun. That's not wise. Not wise at all. You should respect the power of the Sun much, much more than you do, and learn more about the Sun because it is the reason for all life on this planet ~ including your own.

Listen, that graph, and the others like it that you love to use, track the growth of the Industrial age. In the one above you highlight, since the American Civil War. So what? That has NOTHING to do with global warming. Show a graph from the Middle Ages, when populations experienced global warming as well. Where was the billions of metric tons of man-made Co2 emissions at that time?

Compare that graph of yours with actual recorded temperatures and you will note that there are decades of GLOBAL COOLING during rises of Co2 during the beginning of the Industrial Revolution ~ especially in western nations over that same period you highlight in the graph.

You use the words "the sun's rays" as if it is only secondary. How can I, or anyone take you seriously when you make the Sun sound as if it is merely there casting "rays" on the Earth? Are you aware that there are over 250,000 different kinds of cosmic rays, magnetic waves, etc., emitted from the Sun that pass through the Earth and that we can only record less than 10 of them? This is the problem you are having.

First you avoid that the Sun is the cause of climate change, then you falsely state that I (or anyone that disagrees with man-made global warming) and denies that it is impossible to "hurt our atmosphere." This is dishonest, and clearly shows that you are not looking at the scientific data objectively, and without bias.

Of course humans can "hurt" the environment, we can ruin air quality, destory land, and ruin water quality. It has been done before and is being done now. But that is NOT the reason for GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE, or global warming.

What will happen when, by the mid-2030s, it will be clear that the earth will have been cooling? Will you then say that that is man-made too?

Humans CANNOT force global climate change. That is a myth. A lie. It never has happened, and never will happen.

Only the SUN can do this, and all the scientific data shows that this is the truth.

Talking about cleaning our environment, saving trees, the birds, the bees, and making sure we all can breathe clean air and drink clean water is one thing ~ and I am ALL for it ~ but going out and blaming global warming on mankind is QUITE ANOTHER. It is not true and never has been true.

Moreover, carbon is natural to the Earth. The oceans, the mountains of Earth produce more Co2 than humans do. This is a fact. CO2 is not the reason for ozone depletion. The Sun is the reason.

During the 1980s and 1990s, the Sun caused intense radiation storms over the Earth that caused gaps to appear at the ozone layers at the Earth's poles. It also has caused the Earth to warm since this cycle began in 1980. We are now in the 27th year of Solar Forcing of the Earth's atmosphere. It has happened before and will happen again. This is a fact and has very, very little to do with Co2. The ozone reacts to solar radiation and is clearly related to the Sun's activity.

We can release even more Co2 into the atmosphere and it will not make the Earth any warmer than it already is now. No country ~ even all the countries of the world ~ are able to force climate change on the scale that the Sun does.

Learn much more about the Sun than you seem to know, because you obviously have a lot more to learn about that star that makes all the difference in the world to this planet. In fact, all the other planets in our solar system have been warming too since 1980 when this powerful solar cycle started and those other planets have no humans producing any Co2 whatsoever.

Local and global weather has always fluctuated and always will, so global warming cannot be expected to be a smooth process. But what can be seen above is that the half of all man-made CO2 has been put in the air since 1975, and that matches a the one-degree F global temperature increase since 1975 rather well.

This is not proof of that the CO2 caused the warming. But, if it did not, then we have a remarkable coincidence. As seen on the temperature page this thirty-year temperature increase is unusual. There was only one temperature swing of this size in the oldest thermometer record which dates back 350 years, and it was a down swing. Upswings of this magnitude would seem to happen only about once in 700 years, and this one happened right in step with human CO2 production.

No, it cannot be "both." Mankind is not responsible for climate change. The Sun is responsible. It is that simple.

Now, that does not mean that we humans cannot take responsiblity for protecting and taking care of God's good Earth, but to say that we are the cause of climate change ~ global warming ~ is wrong, and to state that is a crime, because we certainly are not.

As for the IPCC report, there are plenty of climate experts who are well aware of solar forcing; however, the mandate of the IPCC, as it was created back in 1988 by the U.N., was specifically to study only human intervention in the environment, but had little to do with blaming mankind for worldwide global warming. That "cause" was started in the 1990s, when millions of dollars turned some mainstream scientists into pushing the dubious claim of "man-made" global warming ~ which, as I've repeatedly stated ~ does not exist.

Again, graylady, you're not correct. I did see An Inconvenient Truth, I viewed it a total of three times. And will watch it once more making it four times.

Why would you assume that I, or others, who do not agree with the myth of "man-made global warming" would not have watched it? I happen to like Al Gore, he's done a lot of good public service work over many years, and received a lot of bad breaks too that he clearly didn't deserve. But, like anyone, he can be incorrect about some things, and I happen to believe that he is clearly off the mark about man-made global warming.

I see his passion, respect it, because I'm passionate too. However, the scientific evidence we already have on climate change ~ planet wide ~ clearly proves that it is all solar-forced. This means ~ that the Sun is the reason for global warming, for global cooling, and everything that's in-between that we call the climate and the weather.

Experts on climate science ~ who are versed in space weather science, astrophyiscs, geophysics especially ~ know that the Sun is the cause of all climate change on this Earth, in fact, throughout the entire solar system.

This includes other planets in our system. The Sun is the center of this solar system (although technically, it is the Barycenter, but we won't go there right now. You can google it though, and see what I am talking about if you don't know what the Barycenter is)

Try to see the bigger picture if you will. If you are able to think globally, then expand that out more, and include the regions that the Earth, our planet, also lives in ~ and that is in space.

Think globally, by all means. But also think cosmically too. Expand outward, and you will be able to include the Sun as well. Just go out a little further, and ask yourself, is there anything above the Earth's atmosphere that directly impacts our climate? Can it effect change in the climate? Does it have direct contact with the Earth?

But, is it ok to watch a documentary, and after doing so, not happen to agree with its conclusions and findings because one is informed and knowledgable on the topic?

Why So Gloomy?

By Richard S. Lindzen
Newsweek International

April 16, 2007 issue - Judging from the media in recent months, the debate over global warming is now over. There has been a net warming of the earth over the last century and a half, and our greenhouse gas emissions are contributing at some level. Both of these statements are almost certainly true. What of it? Recently many people have said that the earth is facing a crisis requiring urgent action. This statement has nothing to do with science. There is no compelling evidence that the warming trend we've seen will amount to anything close to catastrophe. What most commentators—and many scientists—seem to miss is that the only thing we can say with certainly about climate is that it changes. The earth is always warming or cooling by as much as a few tenths of a degree a year; periods of constant average temperatures are rare. Looking back on the earth's climate history, it's apparent that there's no such thing as an optimal temperature—a climate at which everything is just right. The current alarm rests on the false assumption not only that we live in a perfect world, temperaturewise, but also that our warming forecasts for the year 2040 are somehow more reliable than the weatherman's forecast for next week.


A warmer climate could prove to be more beneficial than the one we have now. Much of the alarm over climate change is based on ignorance of what is normal for weather and climate. There is no evidence, for instance, that extreme weather events are increasing in any systematic way, according to scientists at the U.S. National Hurricane Center, the World Meteorological Organization and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (which released the second part of this year's report earlier this month). Indeed, meteorological theory holds that, outside the tropics, weather in a warming world should be less variable, which might be a good thing.

In many other respects, the ill effects of warming are overblown. Sea levels, for example, have been increasing since the end of the last ice age. When you look at recent centuries in perspective, ignoring short-term fluctuations, the rate of sea-level rise has been relatively uniform (less than a couple of millimeters a year). There's even some evidence that the rate was higher in the first half of the twentieth century than in the second half. Overall, the risk of sea-level rise from global warming is less at almost any given location than that from other causes, such as tectonic motions of the earth's surface.

Many of the most alarming studies rely on long-range predictions using inherently untrustworthy climate models, similar to those that cannot accurately forecast the weather a week from now. Interpretations of these studies rarely consider that the impact of carbon on temperature goes down—not up—the more carbon accumulates in the atmosphere. Even if emissions were the sole cause of the recent temperature rise—a dubious proposition—future increases wouldn't be as steep as the climb in emissions.

Indeed, one overlooked mystery is why temperatures are not already higher. Various models predict that a doubling of CO2 in the atmosphere will raise the world's average temperature by as little as 1.5 degrees Celsius or as much as 4.5 degrees. The important thing about doubled CO2 (or any other greenhouse gas) is its "forcing"—its contribution to warming. At present, the greenhouse forcing is already about three-quarters of what one would get from a doubling of CO2. But average temperatures rose only about 0.6 degrees since the beginning of the industrial era, and the change hasn't been uniform—warming has largely occurred during the periods from 1919 to 1940 and from 1976 to 1998, with cooling in between. Researchers have been unable to explain this discrepancy.

Modelers claim to have simulated the warming and cooling that occurred before 1976 by choosing among various guesses as to what effect poorly observed volcanoes and unmeasured output from the sun have had. These factors, they claim, don't explain the warming of about 0.4 degrees C between 1976 and 1998. Climate modelers assume the cause must be greenhouse-gas emissions because they have no other explanation. This is a poor substitute for evidence, and simulation hardly constitutes explanation. Ten years ago climate modelers also couldn't account for the warming that occurred from about 1050 to 1300. They tried to expunge the medieval warm period from the observational record—an effort that is now generally discredited. The models have also severely underestimated short-term variability El Niño and the Intraseasonal Oscillation. Such phenomena illustrate the ability of the complex and turbulent climate system to vary significantly with no external cause whatever, and to do so over many years, even centuries.

Is there any point in pretending that CO2 increases will be catastrophic? Or could they be modest and on balance beneficial? India has warmed during the second half of the 20th century, and agricultural output has increased greatly. Infectious diseases like malaria are a matter not so much of temperature as poverty and public-health policies (like eliminating DDT). Exposure to cold is generally found to be both more dangerous and less comfortable.

Moreover, actions taken thus far to reduce emissions have already had negative consequences without improving our ability to adapt to climate change. An emphasis on ethanol, for instance, has led to angry protests against corn-price increases in Mexico, and forest clearing and habitat destruction in Southeast Asia. Carbon caps are likely to lead to increased prices, as well as corruption associated with permit trading. (Enron was a leading lobbyist for Kyoto because it had hoped to capitalize on emissions trading.) The alleged solutions have more potential for catastrophe than the putative problem. The conclusion of the late climate scientist Roger Revelle—Al Gore's supposed mentor—is worth pondering: the evidence for global warming thus far doesn't warrant any action unless it is justifiable on grounds that have nothing to do with climate.

The first link gives the basics as to how greenhouse gases work but I don't see anything explaining what is offsetting the tremendous amount of C02 trapped in our atmosphere. Or maybe I missed it? The last link you posted is the "Milankovitch cycle Theory" and cannot be taken seriously.

Here is a list explaining the major flaws in that theory;
QUOTE
The Milankovitch theory of climate change is not perfectly worked out; in particular, the largest observed response is at the 100,000 year timescale, but the forcing is apparently small at this scale, in regards to the ice ages. Various feedbacks (from carbon dioxide, or from ice sheet dynamics) are invoked to explain this discrepancy.

100 ky problem

The 100,000 year problem is that the eccentricity variations have a significantly smaller impact on solar forcing than precession or obliquity and hence might be expected to produce the weakest effects. However, observations show that during the last 1 million years, the strongest climate signal is the 100,000 year cycle. In addition, despite the relatively large 100,000 year cycle, some have argued that the length of the climate record is insufficient to establish a statistically significant relationship between climate and eccentricity variations.[3] Some models can however reproduce the 100,000 year cycles as a result of non-linear interactions between small changes in the Earth's orbit and internal oscillations of the climate system.

400 ky problem

The 400,000 year problem is that the eccentricity variations have a strong 400,000 year cycle. That cycle is only clearly present in climate records older than the last million years. If the 100ky variations are having such a strong effect, the 400ky variations might also be expected to be apparent. This is also known as the stage 11 problem, after the interglacial in marine isotopic stage 11 which would be unexpected if the 400,000 year cycle has an impact on climate. The relative absence of this periodicity in the marine isotopic record may be due, at least in part, to the response times of the climate system components involved - in particular, the carbon cycle.

Stage 5 problem

The stage 5 problem refers to the timing of the penultimate interglacial (in marine isotopic stage 5) which appears to have begun 10 thousand years in advance of the solar forcing hypothesized to have been causing it. This is also referred to as the causality problem.

Effect exceeds cause
The effects of these variations are primarily believed to be due to variations in the intensity of solar radiation upon various parts of the globe. Observations show climate behaviour is much more intense than the calculated variations. Various internal characteristics of climate systems are believed to be sensitive to the insolation changes, causing amplification (positive feedback) and damping responses (negative feedback).

The unsplit peak problem

The unsplit peak problem refers to the fact that eccentricity has cleanly resolved variations at both 95 and 125 ky frequencies. A sufficiently long, well-dated record of climate change should be able to resolve both frequencies, but some researchers interpret climate records of the last million years as showing only a single spectral peak at 100 kyr periodicity. It is debatable whether the quality of existing data ought to be sufficient to resolve both frequencies over the last million years.

The transition problem

The transition problem refers to the change in the frequency of climate variations 1 million years ago. From 1-3 million years, climate had a dominant mode matching the 41 ky cycle in obliquity. After 1 million years ago, this changed to a 100 ky variation matching eccentricity. No reason for this change has been established.

You know Reincarnated, I've noticed that when you post your links ~ they are the ONLY ones you say are worthy. And when others post scientific links ~ you then proceed to quickly judge and dismiss them out of hand as they "cannot be taken seriously" and then asking someone to not make you "hunt down your answer?"

The real question is Reincarnated: are you serious? Is it that difficult to spend more than a couple of minutes reading and taking in the information? Must be great to be able to make those instant judgements. Wow...

Listen man, this isn't a popularity contest, ok? If you cannot make a strong case for your own argument without calling people "hypocrites" and then asking someone to think for you because you are just too lazy to study the content of the scientific links ~ then perhaps you are the one that is not serious and practicing hypocracy.

To debate, try getting this ~ you FIRST have to know about that which you are debating. You've shown that you are biased towards only one point of view and too easily dismiss the links of others who present a very strong case for solar forcing of Earth's climate.

So, do us all a favor, huh? Please stay on topic and take the time (more than five seconds, ok) to actually STUDY the links of solar forcing of the climate without asking others to do the reading and thinking for you.

By all means, do think for yourself, but, the key word is to ~ think. Ok? Let's try not to be quickly dismissive of others who challenge "man-made global warming" and make things personal because you somehow feel threatened by this point of view. No one is threatening you Reincarnated, so there's no need for you to be defensive. Ok? I've read your links, and posts, and graphs too.

Try doing the same with these other links and show some balance in your views before instantly judging them (like you did Milankovitch) which I highly doubt you've even comprehended considering your instant dismissive comments to the contrary in such a short period of time.

Not sure why people say GW is a myth?

I mean are the polar ice caps melting........YES they are.

There is far greater dangers to GW than just warmer temperatures.

For example in the Atlantic Ocean you have something called the Jet Stream. This is a conveyor belt type system that brings cool water from the North down south, it warms and warm water rises and cold water sinks. So you have a cyclical mechanised conveyor belt of cold water moving belowe and warm water rising and moving on top. This controls winds, clouds, and temperatures.

What happens when the ice caps begin melting and putting more COLD, FRESH water into our salty, proportionate Jet Stream......You have a change in the Jet Stream that causes extreme weather during this ongoing transition.

With the melting of the caps you also have an increase in water levels in the oceans. This affects something called the Tidal Buldge, if you look at Earth from space there is a definite buldge on the side where the moon is located, this is what causes tides as a result of the moon gravity.

If the Tidal Buldge gets bigger, and the Earthy is spinning, you get the same type of effect as an unbalanced tire......a WOBBLE!!

If the Earth wobbles ever so slighty as a result of the increase in size of the Tidal Buldge we will experience Techtonic reactions....more Earth Quakes, more Volcanoes. All this will take place while the Earth corrects its wobble along it's ecliptic.

The Earth will definetly survive and correct itself , but the damage as a result will cause a very rocky ride for the infastructure we humans have constructed during our existence here.

Perhaps, if you would read and study the links on Solar Forcing ~ rather than trying to find things to support your own opinions of man-made global warming, you might just learn more about why the Sun is the reason for Global Warming.

Listen Reincarnated, you've done this quite a bit already, which is make your own "claims" ~ but it is obvious that you've not completed your understandings of climate science. Certainly, you appear to lack basic understanding of even the Sun, and fail to note that it is the Sun that is the major energy producer on this planet.

My point of view does NOT threaten us all. Only you. And that's a shame, but it is your choice. Ok pal? No one can make you believe anything you do not, however, it is obvious that you don't know a lot about your planet, and certainly not about astrophysical and geophysical facts.

Try learning more before concluding that there are "flaws" ~ just how, may I ask you, would you know that? What flaws are there that the Sun forces the Earth's climate? I mean, duh, it is very obvious that it does. So how does you saying it is still a "theory" mean that this is so?

My point of view holds promise for humanity, and many others share it. The reason why it "threatens" you is that you've ALREADY decided that man is the cause of global warming, and for some strange reason, feel that if you were somehow wrong about it, that that would mean what exactly? It's ok, that is how we sometimes come into understanding more about the world and the comos. Dropping our predispositions of biases, and mis-informed opinions to accept some things we did not yet consider, nor, even know about.

By forecasting advance climate conditions astronomically ~ you will have many months, and years of preparation for climate change. Rather than running around blaming it on MAN. Give it a rest why don't you and read more FIRST about that Sun in the skies before blaming everything on Mankind, or which you are a part of by the way.

We humans have ENOUGH problems to deal with, so, stop blaming everything on humans. When it comes to global warming, and global cooling, and ALL THAT IS IN-BETWEEN ~ look up in the sky, is it a bird, a plane? NO. It's the SUN.

There's NOTHING we can do about the Sun. It is there, and will stay there doing EXACTLY what it has been doing since the beginning of Time. All we can do is adapt, and this means forecasting ~ not HYPE ~ and that is what you and some others have been doing with this "man-made global warming" snick you've got going ~ hyping it, and you barely know what you are talking about in the first place.

Stop believing everything you hear and get informed. That means READING & STUDYING the scientific facts and knowing the difference between fake-directed stuff and the real thing. You haven't learned that yet, it is obvious from your posts. Get informed on the SUN-EARTH system, ok?

I live on this planet like you do and I live as Green as possible. You don't know me bud.

Your argument is already weak enough as it is Reincarnated, don't make it any more weaker by slinging cheap lines. Jeez.
Instead of telling me I'm wrong and acting like your knowledge of theories with major flaws is holier than thou, why don't you prove me wrong? Show us evidence. You also keep assuming what my thoughts are on global warming and even ignore me when I say otherwise, another one of your immature games. You are being a hypocrite because you are accusing me of hindering the topic and debate when you can't even respond properly to a post. Notice how you still haven't answered my question yet, you are only making things more difficult.

I will repeat myself; I believe the burning of fossil fuels by humans has greatly increased and worsened the effects of natural climate change. You are trying to be Mr. Hot Shot over there and assuming I'm a dumbwit who thinks C02 is the reason why climate change exists. I have done my research and plenty of it. I've been doing projects and writing papers on climate change since high school and into college. I have read and heard just about every theory out there. While solar forces may be the orgin of climate change, our C02 emissions are speeding up and worsening it's effects. That is where you are wrong and so far you haven't been able to prove otherwise.

This is to show you how high our greenhouse gas levels are and how it got that way:

CO2 'highest for 650,000 years'
Current levels of the greenhouse gases carbon dioxide and methane in the atmosphere are higher now than at any time in the past 650,000 years.

"We found a very tight relationship between CO2 and temperature even before 420,000 years," said Professor Stocker.

"The fact that the relationship holds across the transition between climatic regimes is a very strong indication of the important role of CO2 in climate regulation."

Another study reported in the same journal claims that for the last 150 years, sea levels have been rising twice as fast as in previous centuries.

Using data from tidal gauges and reviewing findings from many previous studies, US researchers have constructed a new sea level record covering the last 100 million years.

They calculate the present rate of rise at 2mm per year.

"The main thing that's changed since the 19th Century and the beginning of modern observation has been the widespread increase in fossil fuel use and more greenhouse gases," said Kenneth Miller from Rutgers University.
