Once again, to the detractors, we shall post the actual study that inspired this thread.
Read it and learn from it.
OK the fellow made some predictions. And other, more noted scientists in the field of climatology have made predictions that are just the opposite of what this fellow predicted. We shall see who is correct.
My Point exactly and many others you do not use everyones money
(gazillions world wide) when there are so many opposite predictions
and you are waiting to see who is correct do this with donations
volunteers and so on but not run a goverment around it
No Black cars in California next it will be people (Opps he might be a racist)
EXACTLY - this global warming hyseria is getting to the point of an all out attack on the very premise of human freedom! No black cars as a means of helping climate change??? Good lord people - the degree of absurdity on that proposal is astounding to the point of utter disbelief.
Chris in his above post admitted the sun plays a far greater role in climate than any other factor. Yet another post in this thread incorrectly asserted CO2 as the primary greenhouse gas when it is not even close to being - water vapor is far and away the dominant greenhouse gas. There are wide generalizations made on this subject that "all scientists agree" when that is far from the truth - there is much disagreement, and the for years that data has supported the idea that the earth is in fact cooling a bit - wiping out the moderate warming that took place over the last decade prior.
Someone in here keeps asking the very appropriate question - what is the earth's optimal temperature? Well? That is a FANTASTIC question that cuts to the core of this issue. The global warming junat makes a highly presumptive assertion that the optimum temperature is some average based upon the the last 140-odd years of temperature data. Of course at the outset of that particular data arc, the earth was undergoing a cold spell - which then repeated for a couple decades in the 1960s and 1970s - though this cooling was less than what was seen the prior century. We had two primary warming cycles in the 1930s-1940's and again in the mid-1980s thru about 2000. Hansen has been proven to lower historical temperatures while raising more recent ones in order to show his persistent upward temperature trends, though he fails to utilize the far more accurate satallite data in favor of surface temperature readings that are far more likely to be flawed - such as monitors sitting near an airport runway.
We now have the UN preparing Draconian proposals that hope to greatly increase governmental controls over all things energy - including in-house monitoring of individual household energy useage. We have states utilizing GPS to monitor your auto consumption and hoping to implement a useage tax - above and beyond the gasoline tax you already pay at the pump. These same governments who are pushing for more efficient autos, are now complaining that they are not seeing as much gas tax revenue because people are using less gas.
You see folks, this global warming junta has been a sham - it is a power grab, as well as a Go-Green ponzi scheme that is making multi millionaires out of the likes of Al Gore and his ilk. It is also a tool by which lesser nations can attempt to hamper the economic dominance of the United States.
Global Warming has been speculative science at best, and outright manipulation of data to force a pre-determined outcome at worst. It will go down as the single largest attempted scam in the history of modern humanity.
