Global Warming: Where is the Evidence?

Today, the Kyoto Protocol will reach the fifth anniversary of its entry into force. But John Christy says that new research is casting doubt on claims that the earth is warming. Some even suggest the world may not be warming much at all. The temperature records cannot be relied on as indicators of global change, he said. He is a professor of atmospheric science at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, a former lead author on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

"Everyone agrees that the world has warmed" - even the sceptics agree now (he used to deny even that)

He then uses the excuse of the urban heat island effect - but fails to mention that the oceans which make up over 80% of the global temperatures estimate have warmed and there aint no cities there.

He needs a new line if that is the best he's got.

Do a youtube search for greenman3610.

Too much focus is put on global warming, and there really is a lot of human activity that can concretely be demonstrated to have a negative effect on the environment. If those things were addressed, like oil spills, pesticide run off, oil dependency, etc., it would help curb global warming if its true anyway. If its not true, it'll still address those possibly related problems.

Man made global warming is just another attempt by the Left to cripple western economies. That's the truth. Sorry kids.

@drkstrong The oceans and planet were warming long before the industrail age.. and haven't accellerated... that what YOU don't tell us....

@VictorLepanto No, acid rain in the 70's was definitely in the public's eye - I remember it in high school.

World wide legislation (LRTAP) was beginning to be enacted in 1979. If you're an American, you may not have noticed it because environmental ignorance appears to be one of the main goals of the USA government. An a 30% reduction in atmospheric pollution in a 10 year period, with ever increasing oil consumption, is a little more then a marginal adjustment.

[VictorLepanto]

@GorgeGeorg: A marginal adjustment @ best. As for the current hysteria campaign over AGW, eliminating all the sulfer & such would have as stupid as you yourself. Since all that was done to prevent the global cooling being predicted back then. You forget I lived through these times & remember quite well what I directly experienced in my own life. No one was gibbering about "acid rain" in the 70s. That was the hysteria for the 80s. This is all just a typical leftist hysteria campaign.

[GorgeGeorg]

@VictorLepanto Oh please. Did you completely miss the the changes in the 70's and 80's where we reduced the sulfur content of burned coal and gasoline products, the reduction in carbon monoxide and Nitrous Oxides emissions from cars. I guess you've never had a vehicle 'air cared'. Yeah, that's had no effect on the pollution content.

Everything I've told you is from published scientific papers and reports.

You, on the other hand, are merely just talking out of ass ' No - that's not true'.

[VictorLepanto]

@GorgeGeorg: I would have thought so too, but here you are. Obviously no one has ever explained to you what "assuming" does to you & me, but mainly to you in this case. If it helps you to keep your crazy prejudices intact, assume what you please, but it really does make you "that...stupid."

[GorgeGeorg]

@VictorLepanto WOW, are you a fucking moron or just a TROLL.

I assume your a TROLL, nobody can be that fucking stupid!

[VictorLepanto]

@GorgeGeorg: Oh wow! The sheer chutzpah of it! Industrial emissions cause global warming, except for when they cause global cooling! Thanx for reminding of "acid rain." I'd forgotten about the previous largely unsubstantiated "environmentalist" scare campaign. There was a significant agitation over "acid rain," very little was actually done about it. All those dire claims were proven false & the international left which uses these ginned up crisis dropped that one down the orwellian memory hole.

[GorgeGeorg]

@VictorLepanto . The industrial expansion after WWII also resulted in a significant amount of pollution- which actually blocks energy input from the sun. This is a larger effect then the CO2 effect on a yearly basis. In the 1980's there was a serious push to remove the 'acid rain' effect and reduce pollution and this resulted in the CO2 effect regaining strength. In the 2000's, China's economic demand for coal pushed the pollution level up again, with a tapering off of global heating.
