Where are the sun spots?

Eagleview · Jun 18, 2008

10,000 years ago we had an ice age . The weather has been warming ever since , the ice caps have been receeding ever since . What is new about all of this ? The ice age could have been caused by a meteor strike causing the sunlight to be blocked out by dust clouds or it may be a cycle of the planets we do'nt yet know about or indeed caused by solar activity . But as far as we are concerned , we are like a cancer on the face of the Earth . The most selfish polluting organism ever created . But our time is at hand and once "she" wipes us from her lands it will be quiet , peaceful and beautiful again .

It is the height of human arrogance and hubris to think man causes global warming. I completely agree with the President of the Czech Republic who believes the modern environmentalists are the latest version of Marxists and Communists. Things that used to be mandated in the name of the state and in the name of the proletariat will now be done in the name of the planet.

There was another organism well before us that so polluted it's atmosphere that we could have life. It has long been extinct!

They used to burn people at the stake for saying that the Earth is round and not the center of the universe. Those doing the burning didn't know how to understand the scientific mathematical calculations and indeed, had no desire to. They were the arrogant ones because they just invented their own truth and decided the ones with the new viewpoint were arrogant to the point of needing to be executed. Same thing still exists today. There are those who don't understand the mechanics of genetic mutation nor the thermal insulation effects of Carbon Dioxide. Instead of trying to understand science, they just label others as arrogant and compare them to communists.

Fortunately for Mr. Gore, he's been able to earn $100,000,000 since leaving office and was able to afford to make his home more energy efficiant. Just imagine if he didn't have all that money to put in those fancy lightbulbs, solar panels and other upgrades. His consumption was only up ten percent over last year!!!!!

Of course, Mr. Gore isn't the only one making millions off of global warming. The United Nations said it will take $45,000,000,000,000 to fix the problem. Anybody wondering who's going to come up with that? Maybe we call all pitch in and pay more taxes!!!!!

I don't even want to think who's gonna collect the money, but if I can scam a few million out of it, I'm all for it.

If you believe in man made global warming please read this:

I recently watch a show about the exploration of the deepest parts of the oceans. Virtually every single scientist in the world agreed that there was no life at the bottom of the oceans, virtually all of the science and data showed that it would be impossible for anything to live there. Yet they were 100% wrong the depths are full of life.

Those who are sure that global warming is man made need to remember this. And their numbers and circumstantial evidence come no where near what we had on the oceans.

There is plenty of evidence that gives us reason to be suspicious of the global warming community, the least of which is the continuation of their pay checks depend on the science to agree. This is why they refuse to debate the subject, nothing can be allowed to "rock the boat".

History will show global warming to the biggest scam since Y2K. And likely before its over, the biggest scam for eternity.

It is a political movement designed to create the biggest tax rip off in the history of man. And most of those involved are well intentioned people who are being used by these charlatans, by playing on their fears.

When the selling and taxing of carbon begins, (their goal), in the name of saving the world, remember that when the income tax was started, it was sold as something that will only be paid by a hand full of people. And how did that work out?

There is a lot more carbon dioxide on earth that which is found in the atmosphere. It is dissolved is sea water, and it is "sequestered" in rocks like limestone (calcium carbonate) and sea shells (calcium carbonate again).

The percentage found as free carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is very low.

Many very reputable scientists believe that carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increases after temperature increases rather than being the cause of temperature increase.

The primary driver for temperature on earth is solar input.

The other thing Mr. Gore hasn't bothered to mention is that of all the greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere, water vapor is the predominant one. Depending on who is doing the estimating, water vapor accounts for 85-95% of the total greenhouse effect on earth.

Remind me again, what's the output of hydrogen-powered cars?

More arrogance. People who do not worship at the Church of Global Warming are simply too stupid to understand. The vast majority of people who believe in global warming are leftists and liberals. I wonder why. Oh, because it promises to grow government and shift more power to control people's lives to government. Imagine that. Sounds like Communism and Marxism to me and to the Czech president, who knows something about both. By the way, there are scientists who do understand "the mechanics of genetic mutation" and "the thermal insulation effects of Carbon Dioxide" and they don't believe in global warming. But then, they're the heretics and the kind of people we don't have time to listen to since we must act now to save the planet.
