Well, according to NASA’s own data, the world has warmed .36 degrees Fahrenheit over the last 35 years (they started measuring the data in 1979). It is seven years later, and recent satellite images show that not only have the icecaps not melted . . . but they’ve expanded in size by 43% to 63%. When further review was done, it was discovered that a mere 1% of scientists believe human activity is causing most of the climate change. In outrage, a petition was signed by more than 31,000 scientists that states “there is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of . . . carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gases is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth's atmosphere and disruption of the Earth's climate." Indeed, even a founding father of the man-made “global warming” theory — Claude Allegre — recently came out and renounced his position by admitting, “The cause of this climate change is unknown.” Fact: There Has Always Been, And Always Will Be Climate Change The reality is simply this: The climate changes over time. When Alexander the Great was conquering Persia, climate change was a big factor. And we all learned in high school that the “little ice age” that rocked Europe killed hundreds of thousands of people from the 1600s through the 1800s. Additionally, we know about the heat wave and drought that wiped out much of America during the 1930s. Thousands of people were dislocated in search of survival. Were those events caused by man-made “global warming”? Of course not. And, the reality is, most scientists who advocate “global warming” today know mankind has nothing to do with climate change. Remember: Temperatures have only risen .36 degrees since 1979 . . . and the bulk of that happened during the 1990s! We haven’t seen any warming for the last 17 years . . . in fact we have seen a drop in temperatures.
Only cool people are allowed to use C or K. NASA is not cool enough. They suck actually. They need russians to send American astronauts to ISS.
It is very easy to quite whack jobs like Tom Luongo, who cater to deceiving a willing audience. environmentalforest.blogspot.com/.../11/t... I have to admit I am somewhat impressed by the amount of work science deniers do to promote an indefensible political position. It involves searching the internet to root out the few crazies and liars who write mouth foaming blogs against the overwhelming scientific consensus on climate change. It involves promoting wild conspiracy theories which have no possible basis or reality. It involves painstaking crafted false arguments and hyperbole. But most importantly, it involves the willful ignorance and avoidance of the whole of the scientific community around the world. In fact, because they realize that the actual science organizations (like NASA) are the only credible sources, science deniers are in the most awkward position of trying to rely on misquotes from these very organizations to support their position, when even the most perfunctory review of the actual websites supports the science of climate change. Finally, when they do post these poor assertions and quotes, they look foolish when they are completely debunked and exposed for the frauds they are. (A very telling sign of this is that instead of responding to the fact that they were debunked, they instead wait, and post a different quote or set of wild assertions).
Big Biz wants off the hook... Profits n greed is all they care about. Uncontrolled capitalism never r stewards of the planet only the bottom line. Just ask Tobacco n Asbestos companies n the class action suits that followed for example. Money 1st n ppl's health last n even bankruptcy protection.
Apparently you haven't kept up on the private sector angle ... Wait NASA isn't allowed to change their mandate without your permission?? :lol:
FYI has anyone been advised or educated on the inhalation of carcinogens such as HYDROCARBONS in gasoline? Don't expect your government or BIG OIL to take care of your health n they let u keep pumping away at the gas pump n increase incidence of cancer. WCB has health safety standards but who protects the public? In my neck of the woods only gas station attendants can pump has n be guinea pigs for minimum wages.
Lead gas anyone? I'm not sure how BALANCING a chemical equation became such a modern thing (ie: they should have known that what goes in (ie:lead) must come out!!)
You are the biggest moron I've seen in forums. First go to a glacier and go see for yourself whats happening there, then multiply that by 100 and that's what's happening to the icecaps. I would also like to know where you got all those fancy numbers from, because they are complete bs.
Anyone interested in the debate this country had over lead and the science showing how dangerous it was to our health? http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2014 ... ad-debate/ It mostly involved petroleum companies doing everything they could to fight the scientific consensus that was building regarding the dangers if lead contamination. It parallels the fight over tobacco and climate change.
Science deniers usually refuse to cite their sources. Most likely because they know they will be debunked and embarrassed. Here is a response to the ridiculous assertions. http://environmentalforest.blogspot.com ... e.html?m=1
FYI Lead is an additive n poison. i work in the petroleum industry n we get indoctrination on site but the public is kept ignorant.
I know but they should have known by the chemical equation that lead was gonna spew out into the environment and not break down
Money has no conscience... Business relies on ppl being naive n except everything til the crap hits the fan. Then they issue bogus info n backtrack n let ppl pay the price. Put faith in oneself not business interests where money overrules all things. Get informed or live with the consequences.
Aren't you one of the anti-American posters? Anti-religion as well if I remember correctly. You don't have faith. The economy is important. Money is important. You can't exchange services and goods without it. Whether you are using the dollar and current currency schemes or barter. What consequences would we will have to live with? You tell us what will happen.
What if we all decide that we don't care. That we will continue going as we are. Today's normal. What will happen to this planet?
