I have cases and cases of nitrigin packed foods stored in the garage and silver coins from mom and dads estate (economy did'nt fail in the 70's) Y2K did'nt happen but one thing is sure... A lot of money changed hands.

I am curious how many people actually read the report before formulation of their opinions? Or are some of you just so learned in your ways that newer scientific data and modeling is dismissed?

Looking forward to reading the report.
But in the meantime another important event occured today.
The big 3 ground hogs were unanimous It's going to be an early spring. Try to argue with that.

Can you prove that the people analyzing the data were not hoping for an early spring and so biased the results?
Also it appears that not all of the experts agree...


Local groundhogs
split over spring timing
Long Island's two weather forecasting groundhogs gave differing thoughts on the fate of winter on this Groundhog Day. While Malverne Mel is predicting an early spring, Holtsville Hal demurred and indicated that winter was here for six more weeks.

OK I know it's weak, but at least I tried to argue.

Them ground hogs must be ahead of our weather people,they can look 6 weeks ahead,,,,we can't tell if its going to rain day after tommorow or not,or if its going to snow next week,,,tornadoes killed several people in florida last night,,why didn't those weather people who can see into the future let them people know yesterday sometime? I mean if they can say what the weathers going to be like 10-50 years from now,,tommorow ought to be easy.That must be beneath them doctors of weatherology,,they must only got time to be worried about the big picture,20 years from now,,,we need to get them wizards on a new track,,,in other words,,about anybody can say what they think will happen 50-100 years from now,[ain't nobody can call them a lier till than,if we believe in wizards that is],,but its a whole nother thing saying whats going to happen next week or month. Just watch the 7 day forcast on the weather channel,,they hardly ever get it right out past the 4th or 5th day. thingy

A Necessary Apocalypse

 

[SPYDERLK]

N80. A ways back you ennumerated 11 questions that were not being generally asked or answered. I think they are being asked by those who are trying to fully think it thru, but many are not being answered because this would require interpretive and predictive skills beyond our current level. Nevertheless, I think all of them can be answered to a "very likely" level.

To begin with, this is not a single issue of man causing global warming. It is rather one of human contribution to a change in the environment that supports us in concert with all life. Part of this change is resulting in faster heating than would occur naturally. More part is our release of pollution into the air and water that is carried worldwide. More still is our ever increasing numbers that lead to more of the activities contributing to the above. To me this suggests an Earth less and less able to support us. We have rising oceans diminishing land area for ever more people. While doing this the water is inundating polluted coastal areas, incorporating this into the oceans. The people forced to move must use resources, generating more pollution. The seas absorbing most of this become less hospitable to life. The top of the foodchain suffers the most, ultimately. We are just starting to experience that potential. For a long time humans only spent interest on the biospheres potential. At a guess I think that changed when we didnt get smart about it as the population passed 2 Billion.
The Earth will not support the current populations current practices. We will either change them or decrease.

People have been saying this since Paul Erhlich, who forecast this same apocalypse would happen by 1975 or 1980.
