Welsh is SUCH A DOUCHE



[bball1003]

You guys dont understand, Mr.Cooney answered each of these questions perfectly. The Finest man I have ever met.

There has been lots of pink skies recently in the DFW area in Texas..we have alot of gas drilling.

[ORACLE063]

No before the cyanobacteria kicked up our oxygen levels o0n earth the sky was prodominantly methane. Methane shows up as pink.

End times? the only end times i am concerned about is my own... lol

You don't want to be around when the sky turns pink. The sun's TSI has been flat for over thirty years. Orbit variances have more effect on other planets climate. Here, they are called Milankovich cycles. They are what initiated ice ages and interglacials. CO2 is believed to be a positive feedback in the interglacial warming.

Pink Skies! Are you one of those End 'o Times nutters?

[TRUMPHENT]

A 30 minute shower? You must be really clean or have a shower fetish. Ever see CO2 precipitation on earth? I haven't. Did you know that H2O is a trace gas? How about that CO2 absorbs IR in wavelengths that are not absorbed by H2O?

Climatology is a science. There is a cult of denial of the facts presented by the science.

[ORACLE063]

The very idea that you cannot question global warming puts it in the same league as a cult or religion..... Al gore made a movie so it must be true.... If you cannot debate scientific facts ... than it isnt science...

FACT my 30 minute commute to work has less of an impact than a 30 minute shower ... water vapor > Carbon ...So i guess there should be a tax on my daily showers.. im a carbon based life form ... i love the stuff.

[ORACLE063]

Secondly u global warming cultists need to take a powder... carbon will not be the fall of man.... noxious chemicals will be.... again as in the case with "killer carbon" Large scale corporate interests are to blame... last i checked i haven't dumped any toxic waste anywhere.

[ORACLE063]

Yes, the planets are going through climatic change as well this is true.. the suns activity as of now is actually lessening.. Though your comment is totally wrong about water being the biggest greenhouse gas... Water vapor is a more potent greenhouse gas than carbon but BOTH ARE LOW on the greenhouse scale. Methane is a major one but that is nothing new.. at one point in the earths history the atmosphere was actually made up of more methane. Pink skied earth.

Hahahaha Cooney...
