Climate has a natural variation. If I recall, with in the next year or 2 we should start a cooling cycle. I certainly don't take scientists word as fact either, most are lining pockets (Michael Mann). Plus, look how the big sugar industry just got exposed, simple corruption that our sorry excuse for a government took. I don't believe CO2 is the driver of "AGW" I do believe sun cycles play a massive role if not the largest role in natural variability.

The Autumnal Equinox always brings out the amateur climatologists.

And for those that believe it is man-made, what makes you think, with more people on this planet than ever before, that things will ever, EEVVVVEEERRR, be the same...again?

And furthermore, the biggest problem is not the US. We have the EPA and environmental regulations coming out every orifice. They don't have that in other countries. That's why manufacturing plants love to exist in countries other than good ole 'Merica.

"Recorded history" oh...you.

Recorded history is thousands of years (since writing was invented). Reliable historical weather data only goes back the the late 1800s.

But, hey! NEVAH!!!!

Explain to me how 2011 was perhaps one of the driest years on record, only to be followed 4 years later by two of the wettest years on record in Louisiana. I suppose that is climate change?


Uh, yeah.

I don't understand how these people believe this crap is so influenced by man that we can have a ridiculously dry year and then 5 years later the state is basically turned into a giant pond.


There is a lot of great research out there if you want to learn.

get used to it. Would take 10k years to get the CO2 levels back to normal now.

But the high temperatures for the day have not been high?
Why is that? Probably because of the clouds and rain we witnessed that have kept humidity high.

The overall highs are not bad.

What should CO2 levels be?

And, just for the record, CO2 is not a pollutant. It is a trace gas that is REQUIRED for life to exist as we know it on this planet. If anything, too little CO2 would be a much bigger, much more serious problem than too much.

CO2 is good for plants. It's what plants crave.

Public corruption is a very serious problem, but it is a separate problem.

No, it is THE PROBLEM, and the reason why many people deny it. Companies are paying government officials to use taxpayer money to find a way for them to make money. Cold Earthers in the 80's broke most people's trust in these "findings". Calling it global warming brought back memories of the cold earthers and lo and behold it's another government funded project that found it. I believe there are steps we can take to lessen our carbon footprint and lessen the impact on the natural pendulum of climate changes, but many discredit the research because of the corrupt nature that brought the findings to light.

Ok, sounds great, but we aren't going to get there if people keep on denying that there is a problem in the first place.

We also won't get there if we continually allow government to spend tax money on projects that are best left to free market or global research. As long as people see the process as corrupt they will continue to discredit the findings.

Explain it then super genius.

Give me a break. I've read the research. Is climate change occurring? Sure, it's NATURAL. Until these jackasses actually admit that having so many paved roads and steel buildings covering this earth affects the climate, I don't want to hear the bullshite about greenhouse gases.

We know that the lack of vegetation in deserts causes the climate to go from one extreme to another. We know that cities change the timing of the seasons and vegetstive growth. But yet they don't have a marked effect on the climate?

Give me a freakin break. These climate change loons want to point to the problems that farmers and industries cause, but not to the heat islands they live in.

There are more reflective/non vegetated surfaces on this planet than ever before, and that has an insigificant effect? bullshite.

Please, do tell me what your solution to "man-induced climate change" is, and how we will never see climate change again once it is accomplished.

GLOBAL WARMING


The climate is always changing.

Did you know that millions of years ago there were palm trees and alligators in the Arctic Circle?

Honestly if New Orleans sinks under the ocean, these mouth breathers would still deny global warming as they were drowning.

Sounds nice. I bet there were a lot of mammals and human civilization with complex agricultural systems also, right?

Man, those 170 years of weather records sure do tell the story on a 4.5 billion year planet.

It's getting warmer and it's never been hotter!!!! (Since 1846, that we know of)

ETA: I understand they drilled holes in the ice in Antarctica to come up with theories about what the weather was like 350 million years ago.

Still need to find out what the weather was like the rest of the 4.15 BILLION years to discover

What is New Orleans now use to be under the ocean, and eventually will be in the future. That is the fact of the matter. We can't stop change on Earth. This isn't a static world. it is forever changing.

The climate we see today can't be kept in a bottle, it can't be locked in; just as the land masses will continue to move and evolve in time.

Man has and will always have to adapt to the changes to survive. It's crazy to think we can just keep the status quo and not deal with nature as it happens.

Interesting. You're probably right about deforestation and heat islands. So, why do you believe that other stuff and not in the greenhouse effect?
