warming

It seems to me that the debate about AGW isn't just about the science. Who agrees?

I'm sure everyone is familiar with the canard about how all the scientists in the 70s was saying the earth was cooling, and how they now say it's warming - can't they get their act together? Here's a YouTube video my Potholer54, a retired Australian reporter who specializes in science...

"The first role of the new body would be to enforce international agreements on cutting greenhouse gas emissions set to be agreed next year. But the court would also fine countries or companies that fail to protect endangered species or degrade the natural environment and enforce the...

Hybrid is the new thing and petroleum is baaaaad - but now this. Researchers have shown that more water is used in electric car use and manufacturing than is used in petroleum production (the water is used to cool power-generating turbines that create electricity). If it's not one thing or...

Very good podcast Brian! I have the same - skeptical - feelings about this global warming issue. I totally agree: as few pollutants, as possible. But I guess there is no real evidence about the causes here. There was a similar situation here in Hungary some 16-18 years before about a planned...

Something for your consideration. The Great Global Warming Swindle Cpl Ferro

Ok, the title is provocative and perhaps a bit gratuitous but it is the name of the video. 9005566792811497638 The Great Global Warming Swindle Now, I didn't intend for this to be argument by video so I don't expect anyone to debate the video. Of course please feel free to do so if you are...

And you'd never guess whose fault it is (no, it's not BushitlerCheneyHalliburton): Maybe Captain Ahab wasn't as crazy as Melville said he was. Where's that bumper sticker I once saw? "Nuke the whales, so we can hunt them at night, too."

I am currious, does anyone know if the models predicting human caused global warming have been run backwards to see if they predict the little ice age and the medieval climatic optimum? I hear all these predictions, but never any real testing to see how the models fit with historic known...

i thought what was being debated is weather or not people are causing global warming, but many americans seem to believe that the debate is about the existance of global warming it seems like its gonna become a big pollitical issue, with this al gore movie, but im under the impression that bush...

ABC News is inviting people to send stories about how global warming has affected them. The Wall Street Journal reports they got this submission (apparently, he doesn't have email yet...):

OK, so I heard this program on BBC Radio 4 about Climate Change. It made the claim that most people don't really know how much global average temperatures have increased in the last 100 years. So I wanted to do an unscientific poll of my own. Please don't Google the answer, just your best guess...

Alright, I have a question about global warming. I want to know if it is fact as serious as all the environmentalist people keep saying it is. Listening to all of it makes me skeptical, it sounds like a lot of alarmist ********. However, truthfully I've never really studied it, and I'm afraid...

to the best of my memory, this just showed up as a foxnews commerical "Did you know that many evangelical organizations are concerned about global warming? We are chosen as stuards of the earth. For the earth, for the lord, stop global warming". I hesitate at the dilimma some of our forum...

http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/03/26/coverstory/index.html I confess I don't know to what degree this is or isn't alarmist, but having lived through a similar scare in the 70s which was later to a large extent debunked (ie the concern was technically valid but grossly overblown), pardon me for...

George Deutsch, a 24 year old Bush political appointee with only a degree from Texas A &M in jouralism, has been silencing NASA scientists on what the Bush adminstraton consider to be political issues (such as global warming). Yet, it appears that: he was offered a position in George W. Bush’s...

Apparently, a British designed satellite intended to study the melting of the polar caps has crashed. They used a Soviet ICBM to fit a shoestring budget. I doubt if it was insured. Sputnik II? Are we in the USA launching any satellites to do similar studies? I think the politics surrounding the...

"Coast" BBC TV, 2/9/05- Sea levels are likely to rise by 26cm by some point (can't remember exactly when) in the next 50 years. This was narrated over footage of giant waves breaking over the seafront cottages of Torcross in a storm. Frankly if the 30-foot waves were 31-fooot, I'm not sure...

One of the arguments against global warming is that the atmostphere is not acting as the computer model predict. In particular, the data show that the troposphere (the middle level of the atmosphere) has not warming and has actually been cooling in the tropics. Two studies in Science show...

Science Friday will cover the congressional investigation of climate science today at 2 pm EDT, details: http://www.sciencefriday.com/pages/2005/Jul/hour1_072205.html I emailed them the link below, it will be interesting to see how they tip toe around the issue...

See, made you look!! I know there are voices, including some here that deny that human activities are making a significant contribution to global warming. I also know that the oil industry in the US lobbies heavily against moves to curtail fossil fuel use. What I don't understand is that this...

Interesting. Ideas?

Does anyone have any information on this? A friend of mine received a paper which said global warming is caused by solar flares. IIRC, this is not true. It seems I remember reading a response on this forum explaining why, but doing a search on this topic on this forum is a daunting task.
