Gobal Warming/Climate Change/AGW

I found this while perusing a few other places and thought it very interesting.


"The problem with modern science is that it is so compartmentalized.

"Scientists" rarely become highly educated in more than one field, because, well, to be blunt... most scientists aren't thooper geniousez. The average scientist is... average, and human knowledge is to vast.

What is needed is a summary free of socialistic politics/religion of global warming.

The problem with "global warming" or "global cooling" is that so many scientists try to understand it based on incomplete information. Some things that are almost never mentioned in the papers are things like...(forgive me as I wax scientific) All data given here can be verified.

1. Oceanography: oceans are a massive carbon source/sink which absorb or emit CO2 into the atmosphere over long time scale: as needed (time scales of centuries). CO2 ends up turning into rock if there is a vast excess of carbon dioxide in the ocean, that rock eventually comes back up in volcanoes (see #2). (one such common rock layer is called calcium carbonate, AKA limestone) a zoom in of "al gore's" infamous charts prove that atmospheric carbon dioxide levels FOLLOW global temps... in oceanography this is well known. If you want proof, open a Cold Beer then open Hot Beer (preferably outside, you can thank me later).

2. Geology: Plate tectonics- volcanoes et. al. put out orders of magnitude more pollution than the whole of humanity.

3. Physics: Thermodynamics: The sun, you know, that big ball of fire in the sky? It make stuff hot. More on this later, cause it's a bit more complicated than all that.

4: Astrophysics: Cosmic rays cause cloud formation.Situation= sun is in a "hot cycle".

The solar wind forms a "bubble" in space, protecting the earth from cosmic rays. When the sun is "hot" then the solar wind blows harder. When the solar wind blows harder, then fewer cosmic rays can reach earth. Less cosmic rays= less clouds. Less clouds = more sunlight reaching earth's surface. More sunlight reaching earth's surface = HOTTER.

When the sun is "cool" the solar wind is weaker, so more cosmic rays get through the "space bubble". Cosmic rays hitting the atmosphere cause more clouds, which reflect sunlight back into space before it reaches the earth's surface... thus cooling the earth.

5. Biology: my personal favorite. Plant growth is determined by a great many things. However with most of these things (minerals/water/sunlight) you can only give a plant a certain maximum amount to increase growth. You give more than that, you kill the plant or the plant just doesn't get any bigger or grow any faster, no matter how much more you give to the plant. There is one nutrient however that will make a plant grow bigger and bigger, faster and faster... Carbon Dioxide.

That's right folks, want to feed the world? No More Starving children? More CO2 in the atmosphere is a good thing. 

This is in a discussion about John Ringo's book, "The Last Centurion".  If you haven't read the book, I highly suggest that you do.

Climate change is Rea uhhh wait a sec

"Summary: While climate scientists quietly work, the noisy action has been on the policy frontiers. Activists on both sides play for the crowds, often using the standard sales tools of exaggeration and misrepresentation. Advocates of action had more supporters among journalists, and were able to do this on a larger scale. Unfortunately Mother Nature responded with the pause, undercutting their forecasts of imminent doom (forecasts beyond anything in the IPCC’s work). Now come the consequences, as people defect from the cause."

Oh dear....

The Science may not be settled after all.

The whole AGW/Climate Change/ Global Warming garbage is a thinly veiled attempt to legislate behavior that leftists want to change.

The facts and data are out there if you bother to do the research yourself.

And don't think a simple google search will give you all the answers/facts/data.  It won't

It means get your butt up go to the library, use the interlibrary loan program, find someone to go into the stacks and make copies for you.  In short the same type of research I've been doing for the last 20+ years

Once you start looking you will find, like I did, that several seemingly unconnected things are in fact connected.

Don't believe me?

Do your own research.

Falsified Data is still false

"George Orwell said, he who controls the past controls the future. These days, the global warming alarmists are firmly in control of the past–the records relating to the past, anyway–and one of the most egregious aspects of the global warming scandal is the fact that they consistently alter past temperature records to make the present look warmer by comparison. Today another example of this deception comes from Watts Up With That."

I referred in a post below about the younger generations need to quit relying on the Instructors, Teachers and Politicians to feed them their knowledge and should seek it out for them selves.  I should have included Scientists in that statement.  ESPECIALLY as those scientists get grants that are worded in such a way that the research in question is aimed for one particular result.

Do your own research.

Don't let them lie to you.  Hold Them accountable for their lies and misdirection.

CO2 in our atmosphere

Many Gun Control Advocates have a psychological condition.

They will never admit that, however if they were psychoanalyzed, I'm quite sure the examining psychiatrist would diagnose them as suffering from "Transference".

That is where a person redirects their own feelings on to others. And we have had many examples of Gun Control Advocates and many run of the mill anti-gun politicians, actors, actresses, business leaders etcetera ad nauseum, who have wished violence onto others who do not agree with them.  Hmmm, so they are attributing their own feeling of violence to others.

No WONDER they are against people exercising their Constitutional Rights.  Because they can barely control their own violent impulses, they naturally assume that everyone else is the same way.

If you don't agree with their opinion about Global Warming, oh I'm sorry anthropogenic global warming, then you are a denier and must be removed from the planet so as not to taint others with your heresy.

You disagree with Same Sex Marriage?  You are disgusting and should be put down like a rabid animal.

You are against "Reasonable Gun Control"  You are a serial killer just biding your time until you snap and start killing people and must be disarmed or incarcerated.

These people have a deep psychological problem.  They transfer their own beliefs and feeling onto others.  They of course are as pure as the driven snow, and you must not question their motives.  If you do, it just shows that you are subversive and must be punished.

So keep this thought in the back of your mind if you ever run into one of those virulent gun control advocates, Climate Change, AGW, or any other polarizing issue.  They are mentally ill.

And since they are mentally ill, they will assume YOU are mentally ill, and are wrong.  Even if you have facts, Data, and everything else to back up your claims.

You are wrong, becasue you are mentally ill just like them.
