NWF Global Warming in Greenland DAY 3

Community leaders visit with local Greenlanders to hear how global warming is affecting them. They see how the old ways of living mingle with new technologies. All travel impacts were offset through CarbonFund. Learn more at http://blogs.nwf.org/nwf_view/2007/07/index.html

Coronet...which "real" graphs?...the ones dummied up by the global coalition of concerned scientists who are a well funded and thinly veiled front group for Exxon-Mobile, Texaco, and other oil industry corporations? THOSE graphs?

Please.

More so, the arguement of CO2 levels increasing AFTER the temp increase (seeming to argue that temp increase CAUSES high CO2 levels is scientifically unsupported. What is supported are the feedback mechanisms that occur after CO2 levels force temperatures higher...such as melting permafrost and other biotic sources releasing HUGE volumes of methane from decaying organic matter. over 100's of years, the methane decomposes into CO2 (and H2O)...which possible explains the effect you allege.

Dr Miskolczi showed that the solution to a differential equation for the greenhouse effect developed in 1922 by Arthur Milne, wrongly assumed an infinitely thick atmosphere. In re-solving this equation a new term and also a new law of physics have been proposed setting an upper limit to the greenhouse effect. Dr Miskolczis theory indicates that any warming from elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide will eventually be offset by a change in atmospheric moisture content.

Dear Onremlop,

what do you think melting ice will do to the areas that it flows to? Surely it will cool the water that it flows to. The weather that forms over this much colder sea will be colder as well. Please distinguish global warming, that is causing the arctic ice to melt and local effects, that cause cooling. The cooling will only be temporary. Once all the ice melts - I'm glad I won't be around then. Still I care for and pity the living beings that mayl still be around.

Regards, Alex

It is unintelligible why international Environment Ministers use so much economic resources to trawelling in Arctic countries. Use all so much economic reources to Social preventive initiatives.

Have an open relationchip and cooperation with international scientists. Please.

All this white man travellers (tourists)to "rescue" the planet is not alone ridiculous, the mill.of resource they use for nothing, can used for rescue daily life to build dam around the world in lower areas. This is legalized corruption or insufficient consideration and cheat of World Citizen.

The great white tourst arrive and finds the problem interesting, then returns home to breed and shop some more.

The population of the planet increases at three people per second. Unless you start there, you ignore the real problem.

Warmer in the past than now :

"Aside from views of cattails and blackbirds, the marshes in the lower Hudson Valley near New York City offer an amazingly detailed history of the area's climate. Sediment layers from a tidal marsh in the Hudson River Estuary have preserved pollen from plants, seeds, and other materials. These past remnants allowed researchers from Columbia University, New York, N.Y. and NASA to see evidence of a 500 year drought from 800 AD to 1300 AD,"

Others generalize about global warming by basing their facts over a very short period of time - my very point. Think about how old our earth is: if you went back in time at a rate of 1 year for every second, by the time you were 30, you would be around the time of Christ. True research would involve the life of the earth - not just what is convenient to make your argument. Too many qualified experts as sited many times are not convinvced about gw.

[ReduceGHGs]

Some generalize about global climate using their local temps; an adolescent's error in logic. In their denial and ignorance some search for ANYTHING to support their baseless opinions.

It is a FACT that ALL of our historically reliable scientific institutions have concluded that humans are contributing to global warming. For the sake of our future generations we must overcome ignorance, fear, denial, and vested interests to deal with this crisis.

To help curb GW...

More bad news about our Mother Earth.

My records are indicating the coldest April recorded with temperatures plummeting 22 degrees below April's Average! We have snow on the ground and we are going into May. Slightly north of us they are getting pounded with up to 15 inches of snow.
