The End is Near for Faith in AGW ( That would be Man Made Global Warming...for those new to AGW)

It's hard to take gore seriously about anything.

1988? But in the mid 1970’s we had global cooling. And I thought 1998 was the hottest year on record. Mathematically, shouldn’t 1988 have been “just right”?

Medieval Warm Period.... somewhere around 900 to 1400 AD.
It is when Europe really started to develop, and exploration took off.
Greenland was colonized, and supposedly they were able to grow grapes and make wine.
The MWP was followed by the “Little Ice Age”.

Ah I see.

Thanx for the ping Ernest_at_the_Beach !

 

Beam me to Planet Gore !

I wish I could believe this but those who are in power want AGW to be real even if they know it is not - it allows for all the control that they could hope for in their wildest fantasies. They will FIX the world whether it needs it or not.

Warming and cooling are trends, not absolute temperatures.

Global warming is global, not local.

Clean Air legislation removed particulates that had been acting to cool.

Etc.

[boop]

Right....I know that. I was simply using Rolle's theorem of the mean from calculus. If they used all of the data that was known in the 70's that showed a cooling trend, by 1998 they had all of that data plus another 20 years, which showed a warming trend, then you can prove, mathematically that there was a time when things were just right so to speak. 1988 would have been the perfect halfway point, thus my comment.

BTW, I don't follow the particulates in the atmosphere causing cooling. Renowned and world famous climatologist Seth MacFarlane said that Venus is hot because of cloud cover and particulates trapping heat. And how could the US Clean Air legislation have made there be less particulates, when China and India pump out way more than we ever did?

We can not fix stupid.

But we CAN fix IGNORANT!

...the media is withholding the key information from the public.

This is true of ALL topics!

Dang!

In MY area, when it's cloudy, it is COOLER for they REFLECT the heat!

In the US?, not likely, now that the Communist control most all of the media. From what I hear, even FOX has become leftist lite.
I may soon find out.
A satellite dish salesman came by today offering a new service
with NO Commie News Network, and no British Babble Corp.
They have only FOX for news.

If I did not have Free Republic, I would have no news at all.

I believe that AGW has caused an enormous surge in the lemming population. However, due to Darwin, these lemmings have evolved into GOREBOTS!

These GOREBOTS are devotedly following their idols, Tweedledum and Tweedledee....oops, I mean Gore and Gorbechov.

Due to the depletion of the ozone layer and an excess of SUV exhaust, some lemmings have mutated into OBAMABOTS. Often, these subspecies are indistinguishable by untrained observers. However, all require protection under the Endangered Species Act (due to Bible clinging, gun totin’ folks like Palin) AND massive Federal funding for further study.

Venus receives almost double the amout of heat per square meter as Earth. (wiki)

Solar radiation maximum and minimum (W/m²)

Venus 2,647 – 2,576
Earth 1,413 – 1,321

Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary.

Thanks!

This is the first time I've seen the first portion of that quote.

Interesting!

[Elsie]

...not likely,...

I hear ya!

We gotta get the SCHOOLS back.

Think it's possible?

[Elsie]

...AND massive Federal funding for further study.

Well the schools and the LANGUAGE!!!

...AND massive amounts of our TAXES for further study.

[AlexW]

We gotta get the SCHOOLS back.
Think it’s possible?

No way.
Pubic (sic) schools are totally run by the Marxist now.

Conservatives no longer have the gonads to go after the school boards, and anyway, most of them use private schools for their kids.
Many others home school.

O-M-G, science and reasoning in the same post, we’re saved.

Thank you for the thread’s course correction.

Who knew venus and earth were not in the same orbit?
