Fossil Fuel Curbs May Speed Global Warming: Scientists

Like many I have been sceptical about global warming, but these global dimming data precisely explain the connections between weather pattern shifts, including droughts, larger clouds with less rain, very large changes in surface solar radiation and in evaporation rates. And they also precisely explain the inconsistencies in the global warming data.

Have you had a chance to study paleoclimatologic cycles? If not, I wouldn't be so concerned. These are natural patterns of which we really have no control. 1 major volcanic eruption does more "harm" than all of mankind put together. Short of a major nuclear exchange mankind has little effect.

Also, correlations can be tricky things. There was a 30 year study in England that recently was able to show that men that shave every day live considerably longer than men that don't. Does that mean that cutting whiskers has some biological effect that extends ones lifespan? Women do live longer than men, and since women don't have the facial hair of men, this seems to support the conclusion supporting the dangers of facial hair. Or do you suppose that men that don't shave everyday are men without jobs that sit around at the local pub smoking cigarettes and drinking beer all day?

Thanks for the ping.
