Do you think global warming is hogwash?

I was wondering what if they had the internet in the 1400s around the time of the Flat Earth debate? Just as I was trying to imagine what that would be like, I found it today on-line. The Flat Earth Society has a forum, and they are still (seriously?!) debating the question in 2014!

Wait a sec here,you mean the earth isnt flat??:D
 
Prepare for new Ice Age now says Top Paleoclimatologist

Geologic records show that Ice Ages are the norm, punctuated by brief periods of warming. Now one of the most highly respected paleoclimatologists has weighed in and is warning everyone to prepare for a new Ice Age.

A new Ice Age? Then what's all the brouhaha about man-made global warming over the past 20 years?

George Kukla, 77, retired professor of paleoclimatology at Columbia University and researcher at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory responds, "The only thing to worry about global warming is the damage that can be done by worrying. Why are some scientists worried? Perhaps because they feel that to stop worrying may mean to stop being paid."

The "Earth has experienced an ongoing cycle of ice ages dating back millions of years. Cold, glacial periods affecting the polar to mid-latitudes persist for about 100,000 years, punctuated by briefer, warmer periods called interglacials," Kukla says.

10,000 years ago, most of the US was under a glaicier.



A Virtual Tour The impact from Glacial Lake Missoula and the Missoula floods can be seen in parts of Montana, Idaho, Washington, and Oregon. Testifying to the cataclysm are the ancient shorelines, ripple marks, scoured lakes, dry channels, falls, and flood debris that are still visible after nearly 12,000 years. Without seeing this evidence it is hard to imagine the enormity of the geologic event.

Gosh, if the globalists that stand to profit from a carbon tax keep publicizing it on their media channels, it must be real!!!!:rolleyes:
 
Could be “a top 10 May snow event for the Denver metro area”
The powerful spring storm dropped more than a foot of sloppy, wet snow in parts of Colorado and Wyoming on Mother’s Day.
Nearly 400 miles of Interstate-80 in Wyoming were closed after the spring storm dumped up to 3 feet of snow in parts of the state.
In Colorado, snow amounts could vary greatly, but up to 15 inches could fall at higher elevations and 4 to 9 inches at lower elevations.
“If we see the total accumulations that we are anticipating from this storm, we are certainly going to see a top 10 May snow event for the Denver metro area,” said David Barjenbruch, a weather service meteorologist in Boulder.
Plunging temperatures and heavy, wet snow caused multiple accidents and forced several closures along Interstate 70 west of Denver on Sunday afternoon, while part of westbound I-80 in Nebraska was closed to keep motorists from reaching Wyoming.
Interstate 25 from Fort Collins to the Wyoming border was also closed.
We got about a foot of snow and all the trees are covered. It looks like a beautiful painting,’” said Janie Robertson, owner of the Dripping Springs Resort B&B in Estes Park.
The weather service said mountainous areas in south-central Wyoming got up to 2 feet of snow, and the metro areas of Cheyenne and Laramie averaged 6 to 10 inches.
Jim Kalina, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Boulder, Colorado, said the Denver metropolitan area could see up to 9 inches of snow and some mountain communities could expect accumulations of three feet.

Global Dimming

There is also Global Dimming. It is due to the pollution-filled cloud layers, and the blankets of contrails in the sky that reflect the suns heat and by doing so off-set the effects of Global Warming, caused by co greenhouse gases.

In the aftermath of 9/11, All aircraft in the Continental US were grounded for 3 days. In that time, the skys turned clear and blue and the record highs and lows were recorded. I guess they are saying that without this off-setting dimming, the warming would be much hotter and happen much faster.

I agree that the facts are distorted by those with an agenda in controlling what we buy, use, etc. Climate change has been going on for a long time. Should we try to use natural sources for power like wind and solar, absolutely. But, the government and its interests always seem to blow things out of proportion to follow through with their plans for us, and it's not always on the up and up. I haven't verified it, but I hear enough that Al Gore has been the loudest voice on this global warming issue, yet he has numerous mansions, and allegedly drive a Prius to the airport to board his private jet.
 
I think we should ignore the possibilities. Why fry our brains over things we can't effect? I can't afford a solar array or wind turbine. I burn wood to offset the high cost of fuels. The realities of the economy supersede any concern I have over the environment. I hope my grandchildren will be able to cope.
 
If we had just stayed in the cave and not invented fire we wouldn't have had this problem...
 
I'm all for renewable energy. It's time we end fosil fuel use... or at least use it only minimumly. However, this push to deny global warming? It's funded and fueled (pun intended) by the big Oil companies and the coal industry. What do they care about the planet... there's profit to be made!! I think the shortsightedness is lost on them.
