Up to my groin in snow.

All right guys, settle down. The experts have said we have global
warming, so you are gonna believe it and like it. And no big stink from the peanut gallery, either. I couln't stand it if Al Gore swept the Oscars. Robert |

But, but, but .... OK, if I have to to get along.

Gore did have a lot to do with the growth and funding of them thar intarweb tubes. There are a lot of Americans who are wondering how things would have turned out had the popular vote actually won in 2000. I have not seen Gore's movie, but many people that have, liked it. Obama/Clarke 2008. ANYbody but that douche-nozzle Clinton. I have said too much. Were there ANY hurricanesin 2006? That is so weird... what, there 5 big mofo's in 2005? |

Gore did say, quote, "I took the initiative in creating the Internet." That is a long ways from claiming he invented the internet. That is Rove spin. The rest is out-of-context semantics. Here is Snopes: Al Gore did not claim he "invented" the Internet, nor did he say anything that could reasonably be interpreted that way. The "Al Gore said he 'invented' the Internet" put-downs were misleading, out-of- context distortions of something he said during an interview with Wolf Blitzer on CNN's "Late Edition" program on 9 March 1999. When asked to describe what distinguished him from his challenger for the Democratic presidential nomination, Senator Bill Bradley of New Jersey, Gore replied (in part): "During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet. I took the initiative in moving forward a whole range of initiatives that have proven to be important to our country's economic growth and environmental protection, improvements in our educational system." Snopes continues: Clearly, although Gore's phrasing was clumsy (and perhaps self- serving), he was not claiming that he "invented" the Internet (in the sense of having designed or implemented it), but that he was responsible, in an economic and legislative sense, for fostering the development the technology that we now know as the Internet. To claim that Gore was seriously trying to take credit for the "invention" of the Internet is, frankly, just silly political posturing that arose out of a close presidential campaign. Gore never used the word "invent," and the words "create" and "invent" have distinctly different meanings. |

Snopes=another Gore apologist. Event the Democrats (dip****s) realized that
Gore had not only stuck his foot in his mouth but swallowed the whole leg. They spent a lot of time doing damage control. If you had watched the interview, Gore's intent was clear.

In the context of going to a world without an internet to a world with an internet, what's the difference between saying create and saying invent? |

I hear you, man -- my son and I just finished shoveling eleven inches of global warming out of our driveway. Right up next to the garage, the global warming was drifted up to mid-thigh. Overnight lows the next coupla nights are predicted below zero, and that's Fahrenheit. I'm sure to the folks in Minnesota, that seems kinda balmy... but it's pretty dang cold for Indianapolis. For most of the last week or two, our daily highs have been colder than the normal *low* for this time of year. I think I've had about all the global warming I can take. -- Regards, Doug Miller (alphageek at milmac dot com) It's time to throw all their damned tea in the harbor again. |

Some places may experience nastier or better weather but the overall change is an increase in temp with polar caps and glaciers melting. It's been happening for years now. Not gonna get better.

To your latter point, given that the referrees for papers are all global warming adherents, there's not a lot of hope for papers demonstrating conclusions contrary to their faith. To the former point, I've seen other conclusions, but am too tired to go digging for em right now. It's not worth it anyway, it will only demonstrate another theorem, "for every PhD, there's an equal but opposite PhD." Wouldn't matter anyway, those who have signed onto the global warming religion aren't going to believe anything that derails that nebulous theory. Even more so those who are convinced that all of that CO2 increase is man-made and man-caused (what they usually mean is western civilization man-made and caused. CO2 from China and other developing industrial nations apparently has no effect). +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ If you're gonna be dumb, you better be tough +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |

You don't know a whole lot about refereed journals, from the sound of it. The referees are well-trained, mainstream, reputable scientists. Many hundreds of them. Do you think the editors of all the major science journals in the world are members of a secret society that has an agenda to promote the illusion of global warming? And that they somehow have been able to identify the minority of scientists whole agree with them, and have excluded all other scientists from the editorial review process? : demonstrate another theorem, "for every PhD, there's an equal but opposite : PhD."

Paleological records show that every time CO2 levels have exceeded 300 ppm there has been an ice age. Every time, without exception. The same records show that there have been a series of ice ages over the past 5 million years, naturally occurring every 100,000 years, with about 90,000 years of glaciation followed by about 12,000 years of interglacial climate. The last ice age ended about 12,000 years ago. I am more inclined to believe what has happened in the past without exception, than the incredibly unreliable speculation about what will happen into the future 100 to 1000 years from now. Are planet is cyclical, what goes around comes around. Does this mean we will be heading into an ice age anytime soon, certainly not. One thing I do know for sure is that the sky is not falling, Chicken Little. |

One thing I do know for sure is that the sky is not falling, Chicken Little. What is interesting is that according to those same ice cores, instead of peak and precipitate drop in temperature, there had been a peak and hold this time. And that hold goes back far more than the few hundred years that the advocates of the industrial-emission theory are claiming. So it seems likely that _something_ has changed that has nothing to do with human activity, or if the something is human activity it's not industrial CO2 emissions. Whatever we're doing, if humans _are_ doing it we bloody well better keep it up until we figure out the consequences of _stopping_. That's the big problem I have with the "we must fix this ******NOW******" argument--we don't have any reason other than a bunch of opinions to believe that we won't be jumping out of the frying pan into the fire. At some point, the world is going to warm, whether humans do it or not. The natural state over tens of millions of years has been warm enough that there were no ice caps. The only reason that humans think that the current state is "normal" is that we've never experienced in our few tens of thousands of years of existence anything _different_. If we see it as a bad thing then at some point we're going to have to interfere with natural processes in order to _stop_ it. The big question, that nobody seems to want to address, is "is what we are seeing the natural end of the ice ages". |

At this point you will earn a Ph.D. b) Demonstrate that human action is causal for the increased CO2 levels (not done to date). At this point you will get tenure. c) Demonstrate that global warming's effects are severe and harm the environment (entirely speculative to date). At this point you will get unlimited funding. d) Demonstrate that mankind can actually substantially do something about it by changing behavior (wild speculation to date). At this point you might be electable to public office. Gore and the Earth Worshiping Pantheists wanna skip a-c and go right to d. |

To the contrary, the contribution of CO2 to the green house effect is well-established. To prove that raising the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere will not cause global warming, would require that you disprove the established spectroscopic properties of the common atmospheric gases, or that you disprove conservation of energy. Either of those, might earn you a Nobel prize. At issue is what other factors affect global climate change and how. The notion that it is 'unproven' that CO2 does, is just plain asinine. -- FF |
