More Americans believe in haunted houses than man-made global warming. http://wattsupwiththat.com/2009/10/...nted-houses-than-human-caused-global-warming/ Conclusion: congress will attempt to pass their cap and trade on a saturday night when the nation is in bed and without anyone having the opportunity to watch or read what is included in the bill they are trying to ram down our throats.
"The latest Pew poll on global warming shows a large drop in the percentage of Americans who say there is solid evidence that global temperatures are rising, from 71% down to only 57% in the last 18 months. And global warming due to human activity? The overall numbers have declined from 47% to 36%. To put this in perspective, a Gallup poll found that 37% of Americans believe that houses can be haunted." As others here have pointed out, much of America was covered in ice sheets, and not that long ago. Temperatures are rising. But, on the other hand, maybe it will be cooler today in your town than it was yesterday. Oh, this is all so confusing! ; )
Very confusing indeed. US hurricane season is,was nonexistent this year due to the ... colder then usual water temperature in Atlantic ocean . US weather service stopped reporting the water temperature last year.......... That mean that if you want that water temperature data, you must go to brits or germans for the info.. Very confusing....
There has been more than just one ice age you know? Meaning the ice has formed/advanced, melted/retreated, formed/advanced and melted again many times. A cycle that's been going on a lot longer than man has had anything to do with it. Now why would that do that I wonder.
I dont know why people fall for this. A basic 3rd grade education could tell you that even if it is true, the earth will heal itself. For instance: Ice sheets melt, water rises. Water gets warmer = evaporates faster. More evaporation means more clouds. More clouds means less sun. Less sun means it gets colder. More cold means new ice sheets. new ice sheets mean less liquid water. Rinse. Repeat. Believe it or not...the Earth can heal itself as God designed it that way. Unless the water evaporates and escapes into space, we are not going to dry up and be some kind of desert planet like in mad max.
OOOOOOOOO, you said the G word, prepare to be skinned, rolled in a bag of salt, and washed off with vinager. The Ever Reading The Old Farmers Almanac VIPER
Yeah, I guess I'm not looking at the big picture. Since the earth was once lava, and it's cooler now, the reality is global cooling. But global warming is inevitable, bigger picture, thanks to our friendly neighborhood star. So whichever way the average temperatures go, it's all just part of some cycle. No need for prudence, or mitigation.
New research funded by Algore shows ice caps have been receding at a very dangerous pace. <img src="http://lighthousepatriotjournal.files.wordpress.com/2008/03/al-gore-r.jpg" />
The data is there, put the best chart analysis you got and show me your conclusions. Analyze this. (I am not talking up or down any sectors. I have no positions in any stocks or funds. Day trade futures only.) 130 year trend 30 year trend
