Man-Made Global Warming

[Butterbean]

Can someone please post a link you think is good that makes a strong case for man-made global warming?

Thanks

Medieval Warm Period

The Medieval Warm Period (MWP) or Medieval Climate Optimum was a time of warm climate in the North Atlantic region, that may also have been related to other climate  events around the world during that time, including in China,[1]  New Zealand,[2]  and other countries[3][4][5][6][7][8][9]  lasting from about AD 950–1250.[10]  It was followed by a cooler period in the North Atlantic termed the Little Ice Age. Some refer to the event as the Medieval Climatic Anomaly as this term emphasizes that effects other than temperature were important.[11][12]

Those darn knights, crusaders, and vikings must have caused this Medieval global warming with all their horse and cattle farting.

Looks to me like the planet simply goes through cycles like this and humans have nothing to do with it.

Agreed. Global warming is a 'for profit business'.

Last year Mr Gore's venture capital firm loaned a small California firm $75m to develop energy-saving technology.

The company, Silver Spring Networks, produces hardware and software to make the electricity grid more efficient.

The deal appeared to pay off in a big way last week, when the Energy Department announced $3.4 billion in smart grid grants, the New York Times reports. Of the total, more than $560 million went to utilities with which Silver Spring has contracts.

The move means that venture capital company Kleiner Perkins and its partners, including Mr Gore, could recoup their investment many times over in coming years.

Few people have been as vocal about the urgency of global warming and the need to reinvent the way the world produces and consumes energy as Mr Gore. And few have put as much money behind their advocacy and are as well positioned to profit from this green transformation, if and when it comes.

Critics, mostly on the political right and among global warming sceptics, say Mr. Gore is poised to become the world's first "carbon billionaire," profiteering from government policies he supports that would direct billions of dollars to the business ventures he has invested in.

Representative Marsha Blackburn, Republican of Tennessee, has claimed that Mr Gore stood to benefit personally from the energy and climate policies he was urging Congress to adopt.

Mr Gore had said that he is simply putting his money where his mouth is.

"Do you think there is something wrong with being active in business in this country?" Mr. Gore said. "I am proud of it. I am proud of it."

Al Gore's Inconvenient Profit
Posted by Kim Priestap

Published: March 3, 2007 - 2:31 PM

Al Gore talks about global warming being a moral issue, but he conveniently forgets to mention that it's a profit issue for him as well. While he's preaching gloom and doom about global warming and how we must do something now to stop it, his company, Generation Investment Management, is making money when others pay GIM to invest their money in global warming fighting technology.

Anti-media makes an interesting point:

    Imagine the president of General Motors flying all over the world trumpeting a new technology for transportation while he quietly buys more and more of the very stock that will dramatically increase in value through his efforts. Think anyone might be a bit upset by that? Imagine him getting an Oscar for his efforts!


    This is breathtaking cynicism the likes of which has never before been seen in US politics.

Dan Riehl is commenting as well:

    Gore's company, GIM was specifically established to take financial advantage of new technologies and solutions related to combating Global Warming. The Global Warming crowd has told us that just recently new science emerged confirming the alleged fact that Global Warming is man made. So, ask yourself, why is it that Gore set up his Green money machine three years ago back in 2004? Is it possible Gore knew what the science would say before it was out? And even if not, can an individual who stands to make millions from Global Warming really be trusted as an honest broker on that topic? Talk about giving the fox the keys to the hen penthouse.


    Even if Global Warming did exist, in principle, what's the difference between war profiteering and this? One could justifiably argue that Gore is taking advantage of, in his opinion, a catastrophic situation to clean up - and I don't mean the environment.

And take a look at this little nugget that I found on GIM's site:


    While we are still a small firm with only 23 employees, Generation is committed to reducing the energy use of operations, both direct and indirect. We do this by minimizing non-essential air travel and by managing our building operations (lighting, recycling, and procurement). We have also had conversations with suppliers about energy efficiency. For the remainder of our carbon footprint, we work with two offset providers (The Chicago Climate Exchange and the CarbonNeutral Company) to ensure our London and Washington D.C. offices are fully carbon neutral. In addition, Generation has sponsored a full energy efficiency audit for each employee's residence, including suggestions for ways they can make home energy improvements.

All the while, Gore's home in Nashville uses twice as much electricity in one month than the average home does in an entire year.

Interesting, Roy Spencer is still in a very small minority of opinions on climate change.    

While i respect his opinion and listen to what he has to say, i continue to base my views on this - no scientific body of national or international standing rejects the findings of human-induced effects on climate change.

Ah yes, when have little to add you throw out Al Gore.  Al Gore is not a scientist, nor has he ever written a peer reviewed paper on climate change, nor has he ever done anything that would lend him any credibility in the climate sciences field. 

It's scrapping the bottom of the barrel when talking about Al Gore.

Thanks for the replies, very interesting!

kcballer thanks for the link but I should have said before I didn't want a wiki link.

Do you have a diff link or is there one on there that links to a regular site that you approve of and think is good...also I guess I should specify that I would prefer an American one.  Thanks kc.

Haven't watched all the vids posted yet but lol @ the Bob vid w/the winter clothes and the beach towel.  Wonder if that was true about Kanye West.

why do you guys think that is?

New NASA Data Blow Gaping Hole In Global Warming Alarmism

NASA satellite data from the years 2000 through 2011 show the Earth's atmosphere is allowing far more heat to be released into space than alarmist computer models have predicted, reports a new study in the peer-reviewed science journal Remote Sensing. The study indicates far less future global warming will occur than United Nations computer models have predicted, and supports prior studies indicating increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide trap far less heat than alarmists have claimed.
