Default Global Warming

I'm really getting concerned about Global Warming.

It's winter here in New York and its like 70° on March 11

Not a good sign

You may be interested to know that global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters are a direct effect of the shrinking numbers of Pirates since the 1800s. For your interest, I have included a graph of the approximate number of pirates versus the average global temperature over the last 200 years. As you can see, there is a statistically significant inverse relationship between pirates and global temperature.

They are also all electrical phenomenem, if you get into the depths of reality there.

Otherwise, forget Nicola Tesla.

Everyone knows that spam causes global warming.

Google's Peter Norvig piece on global warming http://www.norvig.com/oreskes.html

What more proof do you need!

I think we can't stop the bad effects of global warming unless we return to our old ways of living.

Vehicles and cities are growing in numbers and that is bad. Is has been reported that the world's fossil fuel is nearly empty but right, fuel oil can be extracted from the soil. So everyday, our world will become hotter.

I will hate to see what happens if the polar ice caps melt.

This is a repost of my rant on this issue from last year... Bottom line being that there's really not a lot of hard scientific evidence indicating global warming isn't just a natural progression in the global climate cycle. There have, in fact, been massive temp fluctuations all thru the planet's history.

It's well documented and established that we've had multiple peaks and valleys in the global temperature and climate over millions of years. We've had more than one ice age and subsequent global warmings for exmple, and there weren't any cars or factories on the face of the earth. People should definitely research the subject a bit more before you get to worried about the hype.

There's a good article here on Paleotempestology. Quote:
"There are millennial-scale variations in hurricane activity. Our data suggest that there are much longer cycles superimposed on the decadal cycles," says Liu. "We've had a quiet period, an active period, and for the past 1,000 years, we're back to a relatively quiet period."

Then there's William Gray, who is apparently one of the leading authorities on this type of thing in a Discover interview:
"You don’t believe global warming is causing climate change?

G: No. If it is, it is causing such a small part that it is negligible. I’m not disputing that there has been global warming. There was a lot of global warming in the 1930s and ’40s, and then there was a slight global cooling from the middle ’40s to the early ’70s. And there has been warming since the middle ’70s, especially in the last 10 years. But this is natural, due to ocean circulation changes and other factors. It is not human induced.

That must be a controversial position among hurricane researchers.

G: Nearly all of my colleagues who have been around 40 or 50 years are skeptical as hell about this whole global-warming thing. But no one asks us. If you don’t know anything about how the atmosphere functions, you will of course say, “Look, greenhouse gases are going up, the globe is warming, they must be related.” Well, just because there are two associations, changing with the same sign, doesn’t mean that one is causing the other.
"

The tendency for media and various sundry activist groups to blame global warming for any number of the world's ills has a much stronger base in politics than it does science. Global warming is a scapegoat for agenda groups and an excuse for research budgets across the globe.

(Global warming is a pet peeve of mine in case you can't tell.)

After last night's CBS News piece showing the shrinking icebergs in Greenland, I'm not sure what I think. The time-lapse view from space showed a scary loss in icecap. You can watch it here (click on the Ice Quakes and Global Warming link on the lower right):

Mike has an interesting point that global warming may not be due to human activity.

However, the polar icecaps are melting and we are seeing conditions that have not existed for 130,000 years as MarcieZoob as remarked.

The question is how fast we can adapt to the ocean rising 20 feet. Good-bye New Orelans and Holland!!!

Will there be famine and drought. Will will be able to move to Alaska and Siberia?

Well I say we need more pirates. Once they start to appear all this global stuff should stop to a crawl.

Marice I looked for that info you posted but could not find it. Maybe they moved it. Any ways if you got the link to the view would you post it. Thanks.

I know I'm concerned about the fact that Phil Cooney, head of the White House Council on Environmental Quality, used to be a lobbyist for the oil industry. Phil Cooney and The White House have been censoring NASA officials and other authorities from delivering negative messages on global warming, claiming such warnings were "speculative" on their part.

This is last week's censor

Phil Cooney's censoring goes way back.

We probably will not know all what was censored until the new president gets in. I find that the more one try's to hide the truth, the more it will get out. Someone has the pic for this and they will be posted.
