Yes, I am suggesting that.

Guncho said:Uhh there's tonnes of evidence actually. The temperature and C02
level spikes, mirror identically the population spike that started
during the baby boom.
There has been no period of warming that was this off the charts.
It's obviously not natural.

Where's you're evidence that there wasn't any spike before man. The ice age
is prominent proof of a global spike 10,000 years ago, and that was
obviously natural.- Hide quoted text -

That is only because we only have records for a couple of hundred years.
What about the global cooling warnings of the 70s? What happened to that?

Puts the whole thing in doubt eh? Guess we should all start smoking.
PS We actually have records going back thousands of years obtained
from ice core samples in the arctic.

Guncho said:Well, you would be wrong.
Chris
Those aren't temperature records. We can only speculate and infer
temperatures from ice core samples.

No, and in a few more years the truth will come out and this hoax will
pass as have the previous hoaxes such as global cooling, cold fusion, etc.

Guess we'll find out.
PS Have you done any research on this or is this all just off the top
of your head?

Guncho said:So carbon dating is just speculation and inferrence?

Eric said:Chris, if you look back at this groups archives a bit, you'll see this
was discussed ad naseum on a few different occasions. At this point in
time, you'll not convince Matt that global warming is real. That won't
happen until his home is beach front property.

Yes, we have no fool-proof way to know that the decay mechanism is
predictable over thousands of years.

Although I agree that global warming is happening faster than ever
before in recorded (or analyzed) history, you have to admit that there
is research that does show this is nothing more than a big blip on the
screen.
Only time will tell for sure...
My big problem with the research showing global warming is that they
mostly blame man as the cause. I don't buy that. I think this is a
normal cycle that has happened before, albeit at a time earlier than we
have the capability of measuring with today's science.
Just yesterday I had a chuckle reading that the EU countries are
considering a ban on the NEW refrigerant R-134a. I think we should just
switch back to Ammonia as the refrigerant of choice.
Eric
Not a tremendous amount, but I have read articles by the scientists and
climatologists who have been courageous enough to speak out against this
(many of whom are now losing their jobs because they didn't follow the
party line) and their arguments are more compelling to me that the
global warming camp.
Also, just look at the history. I'm old enough to remember the global
cooling and pending "mini ice age" scare of the 70s. Are you?

This clearly illustrates why more "scientists" are afraid to speak their
real opinions.

Did you know that global warming is capable of causing another mini
ice age in Europe? If the ice in Greenland continues to melt into the
sea it will stop the warm tropical current that keeps Europe at a
reasonable temperature.
