Global warming survey

There is always this to teach us about global snoring

Hmm, communism = socialism, read my posts about communism, in a "debate" with Sally Anne...

Oh yes it certainly is, but you'll never get a socialist to belive you if you tell them that, after all communism is evil!!!

Or, sas, maybe some of us actually read stuff...

LOL. I'd already got a copy of that I downloaded a couple of years ago

And wiki, is by and large, unreliable. I edit it for christ's sake !

Definitely a keeper.

Patently ?

Also, science is not my special subject, my second favourite exBF ran off with a 'scientist'

Yes patently.

If science is not your special subject what makes you so confident that man-caused global warming does not exist?

Yes patently.

You are a scientist then ?

The evidence points to Global warming happening, the jury is out on the cause.

Of course the most knowledgable people are contractors who decide anything that may mean a change of lifestyle must be wrong. If there were no tax implications would it still be 'myth'?

Quick search the internet for some 'independant' research

There is a scientific method I follow, yes.

As you can read, why not read this, the most comprehensive scientific report of climate change so far. Or perhaps its too boring because it's has real facts and figures

The link I posted above suggests there is some human component to global warming. They are very careful to say they can't quantify exactly, but it does exist. For once Bag O'Pus I agree with you.

I wonder if anyone would like to dispel this

Are there scientists out there who do not believe in the greenhouse effect or global warming?

No, this is a myth. All scientists believe in the greenhouse effect. Without it the planet would be frozen. And all scientists accept that if humans put more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere then it will warm the planet. The only disagreement is over precisely how much the warming will be amplified by planetary feedbacks.

However, there is a growing consensus that the average global warming of 0.6°C seen in the twentieth century - and particularly the pronounced warming of the past three decades - is due to the greenhouse effect.

Global warming or not an asteroid will likely end the debate
