I would think that the answers to those two questions should tell anyone what they need to know to determine the truth of the matter.


Don't scientists get funding for doing climate research? If there is nothing to worry about then they won't get funding.



Sciences get funding NO MATTER WHAT. The fact that so many of them, in different fields, are showing that climate change is real, should be obvious that there is a real trend. In fact, a study that shows global warming ISN'T happening would probably make a scientist more famous, and give him more wealth. (which is why some people are pretending).

CO2 is a greenhouse gas.
Why do you guys take comfort in an off the track minority opinion? No matter what scientific fact I may happen to not like, I can always find some one somewhere to comfort me with a contrary opinion.
So what?
This is just a magic trick you play on yourself.
Want to think that the earth is flat, that AIDS is has nothing to do with HIV or that 9-11 was planned by Bush? Well I've got some "experts" to agree with you.
when believers want to give their claims more weight, they dress these claims up in scientific terms. When believers want to belittle atheism or secular humanism, they call it a "religion". -Beastie

Honestly I have read a bunch of papers supporting both sides. Confuses the hell out of me.

Were all the experts back in the 70's saying the earth was cooling? I'm not sure what to think of these "experts" on both sides.

by the way everyone knows the earth is flat.

I read the article.

Is there a scientific definition of pollutant?
LOL
Look, CO2 isn't poisonous to inhale for humans but it is harmful to the environment to the extent that it promotes a sufficient greenhouse effect.
CO2 ---->Greenhouse effect----> Heat------>Death.

You are being silly to worry about the semantics of the word "pollutant".
You can say that it isn't a pollutant all day long and it doesn't change the fact that enough of it can snuff out life (check out conditions on Venus).
We are talking about consequences to life resulting from excessive global warming.

Do me a favor and come back to me when you have read a response to this article or the ideas in this article from a climate scientist. You wouldn't be against looking at the response would you? That would be like me getting my ideas about Mormons from Ed Decker and refusing to hear a response. Well, unless you don't really want the truth.

I wonder what would happen if we combined the global cooling scare tactics of the 1970s with the global warming scare tactics of today. Would they just cancel each other out?

I wonder what would happen if we combined the polygamy loving, racist, revelation getting church of the 1830s with the watered down noncommittal church of today. Would they just cancel each other out?

Moses 7: 8
8 For behold, the Lord shall curse the land with much heat, and the barrenness thereof shall go forth forever;


I have held that the Antediluvian world was shrouded with water vapor. If so, then to pinpoint one area on earth to curse with much heat may have been a hole in the vapor shield. Perhaps something similar although not the exactly the same thing as the perpetual hurricane in the vapors of Jupiter. Hmm? With the integrity of the shroud compromised it was just a matter of time before the the coldness where the opening of the hole began allowed low enough temperatures to penetrate the depths of the water vapors which may have eventually affected he entire vapor shield and it suddenly condensed. Hmm?

Now the ozone hole could be a marker prescient to water vapor ascending up again so that the paradisaical glory of the world can be renewed. When the earth is baptized with fire that will send aloft enough vapor I suppose. Interesting that the two major earth changes may have had similar precursors.


Revelation 16: 9
9 And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.
