The man makes the most sense I have heard yet on the subject.

@theredscourge I never use Google or Wiki as sources. They are tools to access sources.

Not to add too much to your reading list here's a recent book by NASA's very well respected scientist.

Storms Of My Grandchildren by James Hansen

Enjoy.

@ReduceGHGs just to be clear, i WILL be reading your links, but it may take me several days to do so, as my reading todo list varies based on mood and has a fair backlog, but as this is a topic i have seen plenty of rhetoric about and not enough facts, it will be getting a high priority. thanks for those.

[theredscourge]

@ReduceGHGs Google is as valid a source as Wikipedia, no more, no less. By that I mean that it is both potentially reliable and unreliable. An idiot can use them both wrong and be convinced by any arbitrary thing. Global warming will affect the ocean waters and land and air far more than fresh waters, this portion of climate change I am not concerned about, though I am concerned about PARTS. To deny or agree with anything completely based on partial information is to betray oneself.

@theredscourge .

On the issue of climate change....

.

Read what the experts have been saying. The link I provided is a good overview and it was on PBS.

Google: Scientific Opinion on Climate Change Wikipedia

There are links for additional research as Wiki is NOT a source.

Read about how GW will affect fresh water supplies. And how about ocean acidification? There's much to learn and it's NOT coming from left wing sources.

Google: NAS pdf Global Warming 2008 Edition

Enjoy

@ReduceGHGs ive heard of them briefly but only through silly left wing sources such as HuffPo and Colbert. I will not weigh in on that as I also do not have the facts. FYI, I distrust CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News equally. What I DO know is we have far more important issues than re-releasing CO2 that used to be in our atmosphere millions of years ago, such as our freshwater, and toxic dumping encouraged by sanctions that are lower than the profits earned by ignoring them.

@theredscourge Speaking of "vested interests"... Know about the propaganda machines that keep trying to inject doubt into public opinion when there's no credible doubt? Read about the Koch oil billionaire brothers and what they've been up to. It's easy to find on the net. For the big picture here's a fine short film.

@theredscourge .

Want links to "experts" that say the moon landings didn't happen? If you look hard enough support for a position can be found; but is it credible, is it more reliable? It's basic research (honest research) to objectively make these determinations WITHOUT preconceptions.

Your 70s cooling issue is a myth.

Google: Study debunks 'global cooling' concern of '70s

We have experts in this highly complex world for good reason. What better evidence do you have.

[theredscourge]

"Is your baseless disbelief reliable?" Is your baseless belief reliable? I have yet to see evidence that proves that human CO2 emissions cause global warming.
