Don't Panic - Flaws In Catastrophic Global Warming Forecasts

While the science of how CO2 and other greenhouse gases causes warming is fairly well understood, this core process only results in limited, nuisance levels of global warming. Catastrophic warming forecasts depend on added elements, particularly the assumption that the climate is dominated by strong positive feedbacks, where the science is MUCH weaker. This video explores these issues and explains why most catastrophic warming forecasts are probably greatly exaggerated.

This is a companion video to the longer and more comprehensive climate skeptic video "What is Normal -- a Critique of Catastrophic Man-Made Global Warming Theory."

googajoob7,

Arctic ice retreated in 2007 due to a wind shift that has since stabalized. 2008-2009 is very near average since we started tracking with satellite (1979 to present). In fact TODAY 5-14-2009 we are about 200,000 square kilometers more ice than average. New York Times has rerun the same story 7 times since 2007 (reworded) on the subject.

Also have to looked into the Catlin Arctic Survey this year? they still have weather in the -40C range in May, and have given up.

>its about time global warming denial should be like holocaust denial

Folks, we have a lunatic sighting.

My apologies, I did not notice the >

@frolly1000: What is it that you think I believe? I was quoting someone else (">"), two years ago.

Your head has been coded alright; more like programmed.

Since it has been cooling since 1998, all those who deny this shall henceforth be known as "Global Cooling Deniers".

Are you a GLOBAL COOLING DENIER?

@codehead1 I might ask the moron who wrote this comment what is his H quotient? If it is zero, than zero interest I advise.

Not only that, my life was written way before I was born. God wrote my life out so others can read about me. We are talking about all Holy Scriptures that were written ages ago. People have to accept the fact that my life was written before I even came about anything. It didn't happen by chance or coincidence. It's God's design, His plan, and His reward. He chose me and people have to accept who God has chosen.

I don't want people worshipping me and neither does God. This is why people like George Washington after he defeated the British, he decided not to be a king but a president. He didn't want people nealing to him or worshipping him. He knew that people were going to idolize him. The reason why I have flaws because I was suppose to be an example to others that even though you committed sins but you can still go back to God and ask for forgiveness and hope He accepts it.

[hstone39]

I know certain people like pick out my flaws but I do have them for a reason. Human beings on Earth have a problem idolizing high profile individuals. Now take a look at what God has set forth for me to do on this planet. I'm suppose to save the world and become a ruler of it. Now Imagine if I didn't have any flaws and been clean and consistant my whole life and I fulfilled my destiny. Do you have any idea how Idolized I would become? How much people would put me on a high status?

@ 4:11 'Without a good reason of doing so, scientists assume that our Earth climate is dominated by positive feedback'

The key phrase here is 'without a good reason', and I have a question in connection with this. If the solubility of CO2 in water is decreased by 27% when rising the temp. from 10°C to 20°C (the increase with 10°C will release 27% of the dissolved CO2) and if the water mass is for example 1.35 x 10^18 tons how much CO2 will be released with the increase of the temperature by 1°C?

I am glad you do not deny the science behind it, and like you I doubt it will create the end of the world. However, flooding in coastal areas will happen and it will probably cause some drownings and economic damage. I am tired of liberals exaggerating the damage and conservatives simply denying it or blaming it on nature.

This is a fantastic video, far away from the nonsense you hear on both sides of the debate.

Thank you!
