Re: And there goes global warming

Quiet, IHeartSpam <PleaseEmailMe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> -- I'm transmitting rage.


I appreciated your comments, James. I certainly made a blunder in my
last response, and you managed to refrain from calling me a
moron/moran/maroon/etc. New to Usenet? Har har.


You admitted to a mistake. How big a noob are _you_?

In the interest of full disclosure, my BS is in geology, whose time scale
makes the global warming/climate change freaks looks like the chumps they
are. When you've studied paleoclimates that were up to 8 degrees warmer than
today's, it's hard to get excited over a .7 degree rise, especially as WE ARE
still at the end of the Wisconsan glaciation.

You seem to be interested in actual science, so if you haven't seen this yet,
it's a bit interesting:

"INTRODUCTION:

"Over 400 prominent scientists from more than two dozen countries recently
voiced significant objections to major aspects of the so-called "consensus"
on man-made global warming. These scientists, many of whom are current and
former participants in the UN IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change), criticized the climate claims made by the UN IPCC and former Vice
President Al Gore."

"IPCC 2007 Expert Reviewer Madhav Khandekar, a Ph.D meteorologist, a
scientist with the Natural Resources Stewardship Project who has over 45
years experience in climatology, meteorology and oceanography, and who has
published nearly 100 papers, reports, book reviews and a book on Ocean Wave
Analysis and Modeling: 'To my dismay, IPCC authors ignored all my comments
and suggestions for major changes in the FOD (First Order Draft) and sent me
the SOD (Second Order Draft) with essentially the same text as the FOD. None
of the authors of the chapter bothered to directly communicate with me (or
with other expert reviewers with whom I communicate on a regular basis) on
many issues that were raised in my review. This is not an acceptable
scientific review process.'"

Interesting reading, with other links; and strong evidence that the
"consensus" was never there in the first place, except in the mind of non-
scientist Al Gore.
