Global Warming: The debate is still on
May 19th, 2007We’re being told by the main stream media (and Al Gore) that the global warming debate is over and that there is a consensus among scientists saying that you and I are the cause. However, what they are not telling you is that debate is not over. The fact is that many scientists who were once global-warming apologists are now skeptical of global-warming and its causes.
An increasing number of climate scientists now believe the cause of global warming is caused by natural reasons and that man’s contribution to the greenhouse gases is so small that we couldn’t change the climate if we tried. Additionally, no matter how many billions of dollars are wasted trying to reduce greenhouse gas, man will not be able to affect global warming one way or the other.
So, now why is DiCaprio still warning us that we face extinction from global warming? Yo, Leo…I bet you didn’t know that the average temperature in April 2007 was 51.7 F. This was -0.3 F cooler than the 1901-2000 (20th century) average, the 47th coolest April in 113 years.

I've driven through Timaru, in NZ, the village whose newspaper you give greater authority to than the UN's IPCC, and I wouldn't hang my reputation on that brain trust. If you want a decent last ditch attempt at claiming pollution doesn't harm the environment, look up The Great Global Warming Swindle on Google Video. Of course, it has also been dismissed by most credible sources, but it is interesting.
At the end of the day, what is so bad about making energy more efficient and developing new technologies? Or are you just following conservative dogma.

Sam - nothing is wrong with conserving energy at all. It's when the dems and media politicize it daily when it becomes a sore topic.

I'm appalled that the Global Warming Debate is still even going on. I read one of your (liberal) commenters saying no one knew about Global Warming until 2006, and just had to shake my head. I've been hearing and reading about it for probably a decade. And the conclusion has always been the same thing you pointed out in this post: weather is cyclical. I could explain why that is any number of ways, but it's really not necessary. The thermometer speaks for itself. Record highs, record lows are not the issue, the overall pattern is the issue, and the overall pattern says: cyclical.
Oh. Sorry. I'll put away my soapbox now. But I've been looking forward to getting back here all day, LOL~!

Cass - thanks again for stopping by. You can rant and rave on here anytime. The truth is that most of the readers on this blog are extreme liberals!! They usually come here to call me names, kind of like your friend, was it Carla?
lol..no hard feelings though. I don't take it personal. I just believe what I believe because I believe it.

"I just believe what I believe because I believe it." LOL..... keep on believing but it wont make it any more correct! Found the skeptical scientists article interesting but as has been pointed out above the IPCC report and scientists supporting the believe of human influenced global warming do hold a landslide majority view even if all the scientists are not agreed. Not to say that science should be democratic!
