So many think that in a 100 years of solid data and say 200 years of data, we can without a shadow of a doubt say that this is what is going to happen. When in fact the past century or two is just a fraction of time over the whole course of this eraths exsistance. On a time line our knowledge spans about a hairs width worth of time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16603042.post-15800476736496224132009-06-05T04:51:07.927+12:002009-06-05T04:51:07.927+12:00"people should use government"
Nice str..."people should use government"<br /><br />Nice strawman there.<br /><br />Rather than attacking the messenger, why not address the message?<br /><br />The science of CO2-moderated global warming is based on 100+ years of independently validated research. It was understood that an increased atmospheric CO2 concentration will make for a stronger greenhouse effect regardless of saturation in the lower atmosphere when the deniers' favorite whipping boy was in elementary school.<br /><a href="http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Library/Giants/Arrhenius/" rel="nofollow">On the Shoulders of Giants: Svante Arrhenius</a><br /><a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=07gOAAAAIAAJ&pg=PA14&lpg=PA14&source=web&ots=nOxLfVW2I2&sig=5C0FGGNxYtlMEva9ryLcz5JIT-s" rel="nofollow">On the Influence of Carbonic Acid in the Air upon the Temperature of the Ground (1896)</a><br /><a href="http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1932PhRv...41..291M" rel="nofollow">The Infrared Absorption Spectrum of Carbon Dioxide (1932)</a><br /><a href="http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1956AmJPh..24..376P" rel="nofollow">Effect of Carbon Dioxide Variations on Climate (1956)</a><br /><a href="http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1963JGR....68.3877M" rel="nofollow">On the Influence of Changes in the CO2 Concentration in Air on the Radiation Balance of the Earth's Surface and on the Climate (1963)</a><br /><a href="http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1975JAtS...32....3M" rel="nofollow">The Effects of Doubling the CO2 Concentration on the climate of a General Circulation Model (1975)</a><br /><a href="http://www.iitap.iastate.edu/gccourse/forcing/spectrum.html" rel="nofollow">Greenhouse Gas Absorption Spectrum</a><br /><a href="http://www.aip.org/history/climate/Radmath.htm" rel="nofollow">Basic Radiation Calculations</a><br /><br />Political ideology, vapid conspiracy notions & prideful ignorance does not overturn the accumulated scientific knowledge.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15162480228128581596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16603042.post-68248792849398711502008-12-29T15:03:00.000+13:002008-12-29T15:03:00.000+13:00This "Gore's Law" idea looks to me like an attempt...This "Gore's Law" idea looks to me like an attempt to poison the well against people who can correctly identify an example of environmentalist hypocrisy, and insulate from blame that very same hypocrite.<BR/><BR/>And the science?
