It's GlobalClimateWarmerCoolering now.

A few weeks back I saw a thread claiming that global cooling is being slowed. I thought that was a clever spin, now.

In the early 70's scientists were telling me and my fellow weekly reader classmates, the planet will die by 2010 because of pollution, then it was going to have another ice age, then some other human caused disaster like no trees. Guess what? They were wrong EVERY time. Al Gore is a shill and so is anyone who touts his point of view.

Scientists weren't predicting an ice age in the 1970's...

Did scientists predict an impending ice age in the 1970s?

Read your sources. You are a joke. It clearly says the media was spreading this around. Weekly Reader was a small newspaper in classrooms across America. They cited scientists in their articles. NOTHING I STATED IS NONFACTUAL IN ANY WAY.

Of course, it would be IMPOSSIBLE for the media to be wrong NOW would it? Where is your search for truth there Chris?

"Global Warming" merely = The World's largest Doomsday Cult.

 

[KittenKoder]

Damn ... I love this sub-average temperature result of global warming ... don't you all?

 

[ABikerSailor]

Actually, Weekly Reader (which I read as a kid), didn't so much say that we WOULD destroy the earth by 2010, it stated that if we didn't SLOW DOWN AND CLEAN UP we would destroy the world by 2010.

It wasn't so much a statement of prediction, as it was a warning of the road that we are one.

By the way......lemmie pose a question to you Christian Conservatives.......

Didn't God state in the Bible that we are supposed to be stewards of the earth and take care of it?

If so, why do you continually ignore the environment? If we're stewards, shouldn't we IMPROVE it?

Hmm ... not sure if any christian conservatives should bother answering your question, but if they do, good for them.

Last time I used a christian bible was when I was smoking pot ... and it wasn't to read. However, one thing you also miss, we cannot create matter, so everything we use now is from the environment already.

What did that Bible say about bearing false witness and worshiping graven images?

Al Gore isn't a graven image! He's really Jesus in disguise! Don't you know anything?

 

[LibocalypseNow]

Just read up a bit more on 'The Little Ice Age' of the Middle Ages. Global Cooling might actually be worth worrying about. Hmm?

You gotta love CON$ervative rationalizations for their deliberate distortions. There were 7 scientific studies that predicted global cooling, and those 7 speak for ALL science and there were 49 scientific studies that predicted global warming but those 42 speak for nothing scientific.

What 1970s science said about global cooling

A new paper exposing the myth of 70s global cooling

Over time, William Connelly has been steadily documenting 70s research predicting global cooling. It's a rich resource but as he admits, could be more accessible. Now he has collaborated with Thomas Peterson and John Fleck to publish The Myth of the 1970's Global Cooling Scientific Consensus, due to be published in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society.

The paper surveys climate studies from 1965 to 1979 (and in a refreshing change to other similar surveys, lists all the papers). They find very few papers (7 in total) predict global cooling. This isn't surprising. What surprises is that even in the 1970s, on the back of 3 decades of cooling, more papers (42 in total) predict global warming due to CO2 than cooling.

And another one misses the point: the media got the science wrong then, too.

 

[Oddball]

How many times did they predict sunny days, only to have their picnics and ball games rained out?

 

[elvis]

Interesting way of spinning it.

3% per year which is cumulative which is why we have almost doubled the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere in the last 200 years.

Apparently someone need to peer review your posts.

The 3% isn't cumulative, you linear thinking nitwit....Plants absorb that CO2 for nourishment.

Of course it's cumulative.

That's why we have doubled the level of CO2.

The mental midget that is Chris continues to eh "pollute" the environment with his stupidity.

 

[elvis]

REAL scientists submit their work for peer review - political hacks submit op-ed pieces to political organs.

I'm STILL waiting.

REAL Scientist work for NASA and they say the place is getting cooler for the last three years and part of an overall cooling trend. I'd repost my sources from the last time you brought this up, but it did no good for you then, so I'll guess the same results for this time.

And you are still full of shit. NASA is quite emphatic that the warming is continueing, and it is dangerous to our society.


NASA - Global Warming
Global Warming Global warming is an increase in the average temperature of Earth's surface. Since the late 1800's, the global average temperature has increased about 0.7 to 1.4 degrees F (0.4 to 0.8 degrees C). Many experts estimate that the average temperature will rise an additional 2.5 to 10.4 degrees F (1.4 to 5.8 degrees C) by 2100. That rate of increase would be much larger than most past rates of increase.

Scientists worry that human societies and natural ecosystems might not adapt to rapid climate changes. An ecosystem consists of the living organisms and physical environment in a particular area. Global warming could cause much harm, so countries throughout the world drafted an agreement called the Kyoto Protocol to help limit it.

Causes of global warming

Climatologists (scientists who study climate) have analyzed the global warming that has occurred since the late 1800's. A majority of climatologists have concluded that human activities are responsible for most of the warming. Human activities contribute to global warming by enhancing Earth's natural greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect warms Earth's surface through a complex process involving sunlight, gases, and particles in the atmosphere. Gases that trap heat in the atmosphere are known as greenhouse gases.

The main human activities that contribute to global warming are the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas) and the clearing of land. Most of the burning occurs in automobiles, in factories, and in electric power plants that provide energy for houses and office buildings. The burning of fossil fuels creates carbon dioxide, whose chemical formula is CO2. CO2 is a greenhouse gas that slows the escape of heat into space. Trees and other plants remove CO2 from the air during photosynthesis, the process they use to produce food. The clearing of land contributes to the buildup of CO2 by reducing the rate at which the gas is removed from the atmosphere or by the decomposition of dead vegetation.

A small number of scientists argue that the increase in greenhouse gases has not made a measurable difference in the temperature. They say that natural processes could have caused global warming. Those processes include increases in the energy emitted (given off) by the sun. But the vast majority of climatologists believe that increases in the sun's energy have contributed only slightly to recent warming.

The impact of global warming


Thousands of icebergs float off the coast of the Antarctic Peninsula after 1,250 square miles (3,240 square kilometers) of the Larsen B ice shelf disintegrated in 2002. The area of the ice was larger than the state of Rhode Island or the nation of Luxembourg. Antarctic ice shelves have been shrinking since the early 1970's because of climate warming in the region.

Continued global warming could have many damaging effects. It might harm plants and animals that live in the sea. It could also force animals and plants on land to move to new habitats. Weather patterns could change, causing flooding, drought, and an increase in damaging storms. Global warming could melt enough polar ice to raise the sea level. In certain parts of the world, human disease could spread, and crop yields could decline.

We are emphatic that you can't spell.

Fourteen Is the New Fifteen!​

By Arvind Kumar
11/28/12


According to the leaders of the global warming doomsday cult, the average surface temperature of Earth is 14 degrees Celsius (57.2 degrees Fahrenheit), but this is a new value which has quietly replaced the original average of 15 degrees Celsius (59 degrees Fahrenheit).

In March 1988, a few months before NASA's James Hansen asserted before the Congress that global warming was in progress, the New York Times quoted him as saying that he used 59 degrees Fahrenheit as the average global temperature to calculate the temperature variations.

One of the scientists, Dr. James E. Hansen of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Institute for Space Studies in Manhattan, said he used the 30-year period 1950-1980, when the average global temperature was 59 degrees Fahrenheit, as a base to determine temperature variations.

In July of the same year, a report in the Connecticut-based newspaper The Day was consistent with this claim. According to the Day's report on Hansen's congressional testimony:

Dr. Hansen informed the lawmakers that the first five months of 1988 were the hottest five-month period on record, averaging four-tenths of a degree above a 30-year (1950-1980) norm of 59 degrees Fahrenheit.

---


It is hard to pinpoint the exact date when the change from 15 degrees to 14 degrees was introduced. It most likely happened sometime in 1997, and definitely no later than January of 1998.

The 1998 edition of the annual publication of Worldwatch Institute uses 14 degrees Celsius as the global average temperature and provides details of how it was informed of the change from 15 degrees Celsius. On page 69 of the report, a footnote below the table listing the global average temperatures for several years states:

Base number is 1 degree Celsius lower than in earlier Vital Signs.

On page 174 of the same report, we see the explanation for the change.

In earlier versions of Vital Signs, Worldwatch added the temperature change reported by the Goddard Institute to an estimated global temperature of 15 degrees Celsius, but the institute has since informed Worldwatch that a better base number would be 14 degrees Celsius. James Hansen, Goddard Institute for Space Studies, New York, email to author, 18 January 1998.

In other words, James Hansen sent word that 14 is the new 15.
