Man Made Global Warming; Does it exist, Yes and its a fact; Is it bad? Not so much...

[CUnknown]

I don't think it shows a decreasing trend. I'm not sure if I said that. If I did I was wrong. I don't think it shows an increasing trend either. You can't extrapolate anything from those graphs.

You don't have to extrapolate anything. I'm saying -- draw the trendline. Is the slope positive or negative? It's positive in those graphs, and so they can be used as support for global warming. In fact, not even just "support" -- they show global warming over that period.

My point was, emissions increased over a ten year period, and at the end of that period it was colder then it was to begin with. I think this clearly rejects the notion that GHG emissions are the driving force behind climate change.

There apparently isn't a direct correlation between emissions and the average global temperature of any one month. Would we expect otherwise? Temperatures fluctuate. You can't use any one month's data point to reject global warming entirely.

I'm not the one who brought up these graphs. I can't help it if they reinforce my position.

electronicmaji was banned? Why? Did that have to do with this thread??

That would be awesome now wouldn't it?

I would like to take this moment to inform you that you are one of my favourite members, and if I had my way, you would post more often.

No one conveys quite as much bitterness, anger, and spitefulness in their posts as you do, and I love it.

Keep up the good work!

Why does a fascist/statist/communist like electronicmajis post get eleven pages of hits. This POS isnt worth responding to liberty lovers. As soon as I read the headline I knew it had to be one of two heavy posting communists in this forum. Please ignore these people so they will leave. Just dont respond to anything they write we will all be much better off if they perish their way out of these forums with no responses to their posts or arguements. You cannot win these people over to freedom and all they want to do is start arguements. Please ignore them. I know that this will be the last time that I respond to anything EM posts even if it is a personal insult on me as this person just isn't worth the time or effort.

Let's see what facts we can agree on, shall we?

1) The earth's atmosphere has been warming over the past couple decades.

Of course.

2) At least some of this is due to human causes.

Yes.

I'd continue, but can we agree on at least this much, first? At least give me #1, seeing as the very graphs people seem to think supports denial actually show a clear warming trend.

The Earth has been net warming since the Little Ice Age and will continue to do so until another ice age. As I understand it, only the last quarter century, the most recent warming, is said not to have mostly non-human causes. It's claimed to be "so extreme, so rapid" that is will lead to upward out-of-control spiral in temperature you described earlier. I'm skeptical of these claims, as well as many things being attributed to AGW, like certain extreme weather, rising sea levels etc. (Although, I admit I haven't had a formal education on climate science. I intend to rectifiy this soon, as this issue is incredibly interesting and I'd love to follow how it turns out.) I believe non-human forces are still more in control of climate than we are.

I suppose I would estimate 95% of it is caused by human activity, but I have no idea so I was reluctant to throw a guess out there. Why would this be essential? It's only essential that a significant fraction be caused by humans.

It would seem to me if we could objectively state that most of the current warming is caused by humans, we therefore have phenoma we can measure to give us a rough estimate of just how much we're affecting the climate. This would make the case for AGW stronger in my opinion. But either way, I think climate science still needs much more improvement.

Yeah what's up with this? His posts are so darned entertaining!!!

 

[acptulsa]

The same kind who locked Galileo up for saying that the sun was the center of the universe.

Oh, is that why he was persecuted? Funny, I thought it was the other way around.

Part of me is going to miss this idiot. Just not a lot.

 

[brandon]

Oh, is that why he was persecuted?

Yea I think so

 

[acptulsa]

Yea I think so

Well, you might be right. At the time, the prevailing wisdom was the Earth. I thought Galileo took it a step farther, though...

Maybe not. myself.

 

[brandon]

I'm not sure...

I am sure that I will miss maji though. His stupid posts always gave me a laugh.

Thick as a brick and twice as flame-resistant.

Yeah so, what happened? I doubt it is a perma-ban.

Guys... I have an empty ceramic bowl on my desk. Should I take it upstairs and clean it? Where should I put it after that?


This is my bowl :

Second question first: On your head.

I'll answer your first question with a question: Did you shampoo today?

My turn--did you see what the village idiot did to land out on his ear? Enquiring minds want to know...

Should I clean it though? I used it before and it's probably dirty... I don't want dirt on my head.

He called my most dear female emo-friend a "c--tbasket" and told us he enjoys looking at prepubescent cartoon boys, both violations of the guidelines. (though officially, idk what citation used to ban him)

When did he do that? Just last night Cowlesy and Bryan both said they weren't going to ban him, then 15 minutes later he was b&.
