Here's my problem with the global warming alarmism, for every scientist that says that doomsday is nigh because of global warming, there is one that says it is a natural occurance,

the problem is that the ones saying it's a natural occurrence are usually discreetly funded by oil companies, or others with a vested interest in the status quo

I'll agree with that, its probably the truth. But the other side isn't without its political machinations going on behind the scenes either. Which was kind of my point to begin with , I think. I've gotten distracted by public masturbation. Not my own, mind you...much too COLD in Colorado these days for that sort of thing.:laughing7:

That statement has not been true for a few years now. Meteorologists and scientists who work in this, and related fields are no doubt in complete agreement today. Oil company scientists don't count...:|

I'm not to worried about being kicked out of any church, I'm not going to cherry pick around the facts:)

One of the consequences of having all this extra energy around is greater instability. You're absolutely right about the ice changing locales, but the rate of change isn't equal. Recent models which take into account this very fact show the Arctic ice free during the summer as early as 2040, 10 years before the full power of our Clean Air Act comes into effect...

Global warming is self-feeding. The more ground that is uncovered by melting ice, the more heat is absorbed, and the more heat, etc..etc.. I wonder if we can turn it around.

Well, then I guess we just need a good coat of sunscreen, maybe SPF 5 quadrillion? All over the planet, because I'm thinking the biggest culprit in this might be the sun. With it's pesky 11000 year cycles.

Good luck with that.

Yeah, we can blame the sun, or the moon, or the stars if you want, but at any given moment, there are over 10,000 airliners in the sky burning God knows how many tons of kerosine. Maybe at some point it will be neccesary for people to justify a flight in order to get a ticket.
