Mars is warming, NASA scientists report.

Must be the SUVs the Martians drive.

Erasmus, don''t challenge me -- challenge the claims I am posting from noted and accomplished scientists. Or is everyone a shill for oil?

Vaclav Klaus, president of the Czech Republic, argues in the Financial Times that ambitious environmentalism is the biggest threat to freedom, democracy, the market economy and prosperity. Mr Klaus writes that %u201Cglobal warming hysteria has become a prime example of the truth versus propaganda problem%u201D and the issue %u201Cis more about social than natural sciences and more about man and his freedom than about tenths of a degree Celsius changes in average global temperature.%u201D

Actually I am going by the scientists NOT the politicians.

Biologists, too, have gotten into the act. In January, Paul Reiter, an active skeptic of global warming%u2019s effects and director of the insects and infectious diseases unit of the Pasteur Institute in Paris, faulted Mr. Gore for his portrayal of global warming as spreading malaria.

%u201CFor 12 years, my colleagues and I have protested against the unsubstantiated claims,%u201D Dr. Reiter wrote in The International Herald Tribune. %u201CWe have done the studies and challenged the alarmists, but they continue to ignore the facts.%u201D

That''s okay, green and mauve (purple) are my favorite colors!

Geologists have documented age upon age of climate swings, and some charge Mr. Gore with ignoring such rhythms.

%u201CNowhere does Mr. Gore tell his audience that all of the phenomena that he describes fall within the natural range of environmental change on our planet,%u201D Robert M. Carter, a marine geologist at James Cook University in Australia, said in a September blog. %u201CNor does he present any evidence that climate during the 20th century departed discernibly from its historical pattern of constant change.%u201D

jimfinster,

What page should I read in the IPCC report that shows the proof that CO2 increases will increase the planet''s temps?


The Man Made Global Warming Bandwagon''s wheels are starting to fall off as it''s predictions don''t come true and are constantly changed

[jimfinster]

Gotta go, I can feel my neuron count decreasing as I reply to you good folks.

The crowd of lemmings who are still falling for this "global warming" crapp are the same people who think that JFK was shot by more than one gunman.

It will go down in history like this:

The earth is flat.
We never really went to the moon.
The "grassy knoll"
"Global warming"

Roy Spencer, a climatologist at the University of Alabama, Huntsville, said on a blog that Mr. Gore%u2019s film did %u201Cindeed do a pretty good job of presenting the most dire scenarios.%u201D But the June report, he added, shows %u201Cthat all we really know is that we are warmer now than we were during the last 400 years.%u201D

"Now an article saying that man-made global warming will produce less hurricanes." posted by hawksprings

Hmmm, I can see that I am going to have to start calling you radiob and ToolMangler. They also like to twist and turn what I say into what they want it to say.

I did NOT say that there would be LESS hurricanes, I said there wouldn''t necessarily be MORE hurricanes, just STRONGER hurricanes.

A report last June by the National Academies seemed to contradict Mr. Gore%u2019s portrayal of recent temperatures as the highest in the past millennium. Instead, the report said, current highs appeared unrivaled since only 1600, the tail end of a temperature rise known as the medieval warm period.

Richard S. Lindzen, a well-known oil industry shill. Yep that settles it once again!

[global_chick]

Richard S. Lindzen, a climatologist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a member of the National Academy of Sciences, who has long expressed skepticism about dire climate predictions, accused Mr. Gore in The Wall Street Journal of %u201Cshrill alarmism.%u201D

Kevin Vranes supports global warming theory. Whoops, you should have actually read his work, huh?

[global_chick]

Erasmus, I have pointed to MANY notable scientists who disagree or question the global warming theory. Perhaps you need to do some research about what the other side says, instead of being spoon-fed by politicians.

James E. Hansen, an environmental scientist, director of NASA%u2019s Goddard Institute for Space Studies and a top adviser to Mr. Gore, said, %u201CAl does an exceptionally good job of seeing the forest for the trees,%u201D adding that Mr. Gore often did so %u201Cbetter than scientists.%u201D

Still, Dr. Hansen said, the former vice president%u2019s work may hold %u201Cimperfections%u201D and %u201Ctechnical flaws.%u201D He pointed to hurricanes, an icon for Mr. Gore, who highlights the devastation of Hurricane Katrina and cites research suggesting that global warming will cause both storm frequency and deadliness to rise. Yet this past Atlantic season produced fewer hurricanes than forecasters predicted (five versus nine), and none that hit the United States.

I''''m still trying to find the part in the report where it is shown that rising CO2 levels will cause the wrath and destruction they are predicting.
Can you find it for me?

Clue for you: you will need to read the report first :)
