The best fix for the global warming scandal

[BodyProSite]

when there is pretty much unlimited funds like al gore has he can convince the scientists and staff involved in the peer review to say what ever he wants it to and then when the 2 or 3 main people get their money and give their word they are believed throughout the entire scientific community and nobody knows any different

yep i am , and not a rep or dem , i just want a congress to remember the founding fathers and constitution and what they stand for, those are what made america such a desired place to want to be and so prosperous, where people got givin the chance to earn what they want , not wait around for it to be givin to them

I see.

Hopefully the truth of the matter can be decided scientifically rather than politicising the issue.

i agree , i just think its going to be very hard to find a credible scientist for the group of people that are still adimate about global warming,  now it will be looming on the minds of many even if the guy is not hiding anything or lieing

[BodyProSite]

i did study alot of volcanology or volcanos and there is mounds of evidence showing the warming and cooloing pahses the earth goes through some take 10 years some takes hundreds, so that is why i do not buy into global warming the earth has warmed itself for millions of years  and cooled itself for millions of years, how can you say things humans do cause it? it happened millions of years before humans existed?

This is the cover of the Nov. 13, 1972 TIME magazine speculating the coming of the 2nd Ice Age:




The arrival of another ice age has long been a chilling theme of science fiction. If the earth's recent history is any clue, says Marine Geologist Cesare Emiliani of the University of Miami, a new ice age could become a reality.

Writing in Science, Emiliani reports that the earth has undergone at least eight periods of extreme cold and seven of torrid heat in the past 400,000 years.

His conclusion is based on cores of ocean sediment from the Caribbean. Composed of the remains of tiny sea animals, the layered sediment provides a record of climatic changes. When the oceans warm up, there is a decrease in the ratio of the isotope oxygen-18 to ordinary oxygen in the shells of the little creatures; when temperatures go down, the concentration of oxygen-18 goes up.
Moreover, the proportions are preserved after the creatures die and sink to become layers of sediment. Thus, because these layers can now easily be dated, the shells can be studied to establish past temperature trends.

Scientists once held that there were four ice ages, each as long as 100,000 years, separated by warm periods of at least comparable duration.
But Emiliani's investigations, and also those of Columbia University's David Ericson and Goesta Wollin, have shown that the ice ages were as short as 10,000 to 20,000 years. Moreover, Emiliani says, the climatologically comfortable intervals between them were also geologically brief. Thus, Emiliani warns, the present period of "amiable climate," which has already lasted 12,000 years, may soon come to an end, perhaps within the next 2,000 or 3,000 years.

In what direction will the earth's climate then turn? Emiliani refuses to speculate. But if man continues his "interference with climate through deforestation, urban development and pollution," says Emiliani in typical scientific jargon, "we may soon be confronted with either a runaway glaciation or a runaway deglaciation, both of which would generate unacceptable environmental stresses."

I’m not a scientist, but Emiliani started by explaining the earth has undergone at least 8 periods of extreme temperatures – both hot and cold.

Then he informs us that the “present period of amiable climate, which has already lasted 12,000 years, may soon come to an end, perhaps within the next 2,000 or 3,000 years.”

Okay.

He finishes by saying that, “if man continues his interference with climate through deforestation, urban development and pollution, we may soon be confronted with…unacceptable environmental stresses."

So, the extreme, earth-altering weather cycles from the last 400,000 years happened naturally. Now he’s warning us that they’re due to change again.
He’s not sure how they will change, but he warns that urban development and pollution could cause something that is due to happen naturally soon, anyway.
