Special Guest Global Warming Saga

What Al Gore didn’t tell you.

From about 1940 until the late 1970;s the earth’s ground temperature was cooling. In 1970 fears of global cooling where attributed to mankind’s so called pollution of the atmosphere, which was blocking out the sun. Then in the 80’s and 90’s temperatures started rising. And it turned to global warming.

From 1400 to about 1860 the planet was in a cool period, sometimes called the "Little Ice Age".Temperatures today are back to the levels 1000 A.D. to 1350 sometimes termed "Medieval Warm Period".

CO2 is less than 4/100ths of 1% of all gases present.

95% of all so called greenhouse gases is water vapor.

CO2 is not a one way filter.

The dynamics of the earth is not the same as a simple greenhouse.

Antarctica on average is getting thicker.

The Vikings use to live and farm Greenland.

By the year 2050 humans will add 2,409 billion pounds/year of CO2 to the Atmosphere, by breathing.

Al’s graph was a combination of 2 graphs. The left side was from ice core drills in Antarctica, recordings used from only 1000 years ago till 1890. What is called proxy measurements. The right side was from air grabs from Maua Loa a volcano in Hawaii, 1954 till 2005. (Are we missing some years here?)

The thermometer was invented in 1714. Average year temperature in 1822 in Albany N.Y. was 49.2. In 2005 after the industrial revolution it was 49.2.

Today co2 is about 370ppm. Over the life of the planet it has been as high as 7000ppm.In the late Ordovician period about 450 million years ago co2 was 4000ppm yet earth’s temperature was the same as today. Co2 has only once been this low in the planet’s history and that was about 275 million years ago.

In 1998 17,000 scientist signed the Oregon Report, which denied that mankind was effecting global warming.

Nasa with their satellite and balloon measurements said that over the past 18+ years there is no warming trend over the planet.

So the planet is presently warming, but what is causing it. Could it possibly be the sun?

The real danger with groups like the Chicken Little (global warming) ones is that they falsify and use bad data to prove an already formed conclusion. The idea or morality of Science is to find out the truth and to do so by arriving at a conclusion AFTER all the facts are in. Al’s moral message was anything but moral, unless we can use it to define what immoral is.

If the rest of the scientific community continues on the path demonstrated by Chicken Little the human race may very well be in grave danger.

Thank you again D.S.
