British scientist criticises US climate "loonies"

Explain Mars, linking it incontrovertibly to human activity, then I'll listen to you about global warming being an "unnatural" human caused condition.

[Brian Allen]

<< Don't try to bring facts into this argument!!! >>

#21: Picure of the world's already modst dangerous dullard -- in his effort to co-opt George Soros, Marc Rich and every other member of the most extremely-lunatic-left to his 2008 presidential erection campaign -- channelling the DNC chairthingy.

Poofy peanut figures that given that his 2000 attempted imitation of a male with a brain [Or even, come to that, of a male] so badly failed him and that Doctor Strangelove Dean's 2004 run without the slightest sign of ever being within 50 yards of a brain got that hatred-wracked poor bastard a few campaign Dollars and to Ohio -- this time he'll run a moron, too.

As a barking anencephalytic.

As himself, that is.

Could you fix the link, please? All I get is a 404 error: "The requested document does not exist on this server."

Thanks.

The only way to stop global warming is to create more clouds to block the suns energy and thus keep the worlds oceans cold so they don't provide a source of heat for large super storms to feed off.

[Irishguy]

godd one punk..u made my day!!! MUHAHAHAHAHA


the one i love is as follows :

THIS IS THE WORST STORM SINCE 1900..it is global warming..

now lets break down that sentence and focus on the key word SINCE...

so there was a bigger once in 1900....hmmmmm

those 1900 SUV's eh...terrible...absolutely...terrible


more left wing , tree huggery crap..also anyone care to explain what happened BEFORE THE LAST ICE AGE...oh oh..wait the cavemen,,,,those cavemen SUV's eh...

the world cools up and cools down...live with it...

Your graph would be more relevant if it included all atlantic hurricanes (or even all tropical cyclones) instead of the ones that made a landfall (in the US?).

[neutrality]

True, but the question is how fast the warming/cooling has been previously

[montag813]

Your graph would be more relevant if it included all atlantic hurricanes (or even all tropical cyclones) instead of the ones that made a landfall (in the US?).

Perhaps, however the ones that make landfall are typically the strongest, and since the largest financial cost comes from those, they seem most relevant.

I saw something interesting on Discovery or whatever a few years back.

Scientists went to a lake in Canada (not sure which one) and took core samples from the sediments being deposited in the lake by the feeder streams.

By measuring the thickness of the sediments and the size of the particles and the pollens in the layers, they were able to map out the time it took for one of the ice age events to happen.

Time span from normal temperate climate to full ice age glaciation:


Ninety years

So buy lots of warm socks and will them to your great grandchildren!

[neutrality]

That's interesting, I think I'll read up on that

[knuthom]

Try this

Storm frenzy is not an anomaly, but a phase

[Gondring]

The total is now 11.

???

[Gondring]

If global warming is due to carbon being released into the atmosphere, then why didn't the temps spike upwards after WW2?

It's not just carbon, it's carbon dioxide...the carbon particles of soot from burning will block the incoming solar radiation, resulting in cooling. Although your idea fits the spike of the 1940s decade, it would take a lot more than that coincidence to convince me.

[DoctorMichael]

Doooooooooooooooooomed!!!!!!!!!!!

[ApplegateRanch]

Thanks; that works fine.

It was well worth reading.

[RedMonqey]

I realized that I forgot to add it after I posted but assumed most people would get the idea.:)

Great article. Here's another link:

http://geology.com/united-states-satellite-images.shtml

Start at Bermuda. It's the little dry spot in the Atlantic that's East and South of Cape Hatteras (North Carolina/Virgina area). Then continue to scroll East (with right arrow button). Do you see the sand? It's ALL over North Africa.

Continue past the Suez Canal and check out Saudi Arabia.

Do you see the sand?

Continue scrolling and check out Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Central Asia, and China.

What color is it?

Could this be where all that global "warming" is coming from?

Has it been centuries of hard core industrialization and the burning of "fossil" fuels that brings on our hurricanes?

If those greedy ancient capitalist North Africans, Middle Easterners, and Central Asians industrialists had only been more environmental friendly!!!! They should have used cleaner burning technology back when they were sacking Jerusalem, spreading their religion with the sword, and shooting arrows with their composite bows while on horseback.

See the picture of Israel:

See where the irrigation ends?

Why do we have wacky quacky science using faulty models?

Psalm 36:
2
Sin directs the heart of the wicked; their eyes are closed to the fear of God.
3
For they live with the delusion: their guilt will not be known and hated.
4
Empty and false are the words of their mouth; they have ceased to be wise and do good.
5
In their beds they hatch plots; they set out on a wicked way; they do not reject evil.

There has never left us the Command and Curse to Adam that we should labor over the land:

Proverbs 12:11
He who tills his own land has food in plenty, but he who follows idle pursuits is a fool.
----

Considering our modern technologies and how hard our ancestors had it, we should feel blessed to refocus on agrarian ecologies and economies.

Genesis 3:
17
To the man he said: "Because you listened to your wife and ate from the tree of which I had forbidden you to eat, "Cursed be the ground because of you! In toil shall you eat its yield all the days of your life.
18
Thorns and thistles shall it bring forth to you, as you eat of the plants of the field.
19
By the sweat of your face shall you get bread to eat, Until you return to the ground, from which you were taken; For you are dirt, and to dirt you shall return."

Message of Hope from all of this:

Revelations 6:6

I heard what seemed to be a voice in the midst of the four living creatures. It said, "A ration of wheat costs a day's pay, and three rations of barley cost a day's pay. But do not damage the olive oil or the wine."
---
and the footnote:
6 [6] A day's pay: literally, "a denarius," a Roman silver coin that constitutes a day's wage in Matthew 20:2. Because of the famine, food was rationed and sold at an exorbitant price. A liter of flour was considered a day's ration in the Greek historians Herodotus and Diogenes Laertius. Barley: food of the poor (John 6:9, 13; cf 2 Kings 7:1, 16, 18); it was also used to feed animals; cf 1 Kings 5:8. Do not damage: the olive and the vine are to be used more sparingly in time of famine.

---

Personally, I think the "oil" and the "wine" have to do more with Catholic Sacraments. And the Irrigation I consider most important is Baptism and the River of Souls God desires.

>Michael Crighton spoke on this topic recently. Perhaps somebody with a source can post that speech.

Thanks TChad. Everybody should read this speech. Crichton began his research without a bias.

"If this makes the climate loonies in the States realise we've got a problem, some good will come out of a truly awful situation," said Lawton

I love it when these dispassionate scientists sound so dispassionate and scientific.
