Skeptics: what would it take to get you to consider that just maybe AGW IS real? I don%26#039;t think it will ever be proven -- it%26#039;s theoretical -- but what would it take to get you to believe it%26#039;s a probably and legitimate concern that must be dealt with?

3-5 more years of warming?

Then again, I doubt many of you guys go by statistical data. If the Chief Oracle of the Temple of High Mystics told you it was a possibility would you believe him?

my data tells me that we are in a ice age
and that someday it will end.
this my or may not be the end of the ice age.

it also tells me when the ice age does end nothing bad will happen.

earth has been there before.
and it would not be something that man would have any trouble living through.
where is the %26quot;the sky is falling%26quot; global warmer that claims that we would not be able to survive the conditions of the early Cenozoic that i have sited above.

my research also tells me that the far left radical enviromentist will pull any scam they think they can get away with.

if it was anyone else pushing global warming i might believe them.

but these radical are just plain stupid,
i have been seeing there radical bulls**t for 40 years. and they have never told the truth.

by looking at paleoclimatology i can show that this ice-age that has be going on for about 3 million years was caused be mans ancestors Australopithecus.

and was made worse by Cro-Magnon.man that caused the ice sheets to come down into what is now the US.

when this interglacial period ends we will ether go into another glacial period or into a Interstadial period of warming.

Warming is cyclical. If Temperatures dropped and we were still belting out CO2, then would you believe it%26#039;s not us? 0% 0 Votes

Hmmm....why your at it, I sure could use some good stock market advice.I think they use statistics at the dog races and, the lotto also...any input?

I%26#039;d settle for one of their predictions to come true or seem faintly realistic. Sea rises of 20-30 feet would take 1000s of years and thus far there is ZERO rise in sea level.

I don%26#039;t think you need to convince me or many others that some AGW is real, we do add to the CO2 level in the air, albeit in small quantities compared to natural sources. Eventually that will add up. Where we differ is in seeing the reason for alarm and literally panicking school children over this issue when frankly no one knows what impact we%26#039;re having now. Or what we will have 100 years from now. Nothing is without a price and our additional CO2 is no different, same as ozone and other pollutants, CFCs and so on.

I guess that despite knowing all this, the hysteria just seems too familiar. We%26#039;ve seen and heard the sky is falling many many times before, from Rachel Carson and DDT, from Paul Ehrlich and the Population Bomb, from dire predictions of massive increases in skin cancer from the ozone hole. There is a part of the US population that is unhappy unless there is something to protest and be passionate about. How many 19th and 20th century end-of-the-world predictions failed to materialize? All of them or we wouldn%26#039;t be here.

It may continue to warm for the next 500 years but personally I doubt it will be as extreme as even the lowest estimates of the IPCC. If I%26#039;m wrong I%26#039;ll admit it. Exchanging carbon credits is just a way to transfer wealth and I%26#039;ve seen three-card-monte so I think I%26#039;ll pass. Carbon sequestration and means of dealing with actual pollutants will come from science, not carbon credits or political maneuvering or hysterical warnings and threats.

I don%26#039;t understand your comment about the Chief Oracle, is that a joke? I prefer to rely on scientists but I am able to see the effect of the funding agencies controlling the outcome of scientific studies and even re-writing the reports after the scientists have all gone home. That doesn%26#039;t inspire my confidence but it doesn%26#039;t destroy it either. They%26#039;re human and have mortgage payments and orthodontic bills the same as the rest of us so it would be hard to publish a finding that clearly refutes AGW since they%26#039;ll suffer financially, not to mention being attacked as oil company stooges by the AGW advocacy groups.

What would it take to convince you AGW is not real? 100 years into the next ice age some of the AGW advocates will still be claiming this was predicted by their computer model. If Greenland%26#039;s glaciers magically melt away in the next 10 or 100 years, I%26#039;ll buy all the carbon credits you want but it%26#039;s far more likely to take 5-10,000 years to do that. 0% 0 Votes

Naw we dont buy Algores hodgepodge of voodoo science.
Where he gets on a scissor lift that he admits he dont know how to use to go up his foolish giant graph to point to the imaginary graph line. then he starts some serious whining about his kid and a car wreck. I really tryed to watch the pucky show for u yall but I was starting to gag. 0% 0 Votes
