We are also running out of oil.

Mother Earth had this planned very well.

Next we run out of humans.

Sweet…

I’d also like to see a chart showing fluctuation for a greater period than just 1961 to 2007; I mean, we did have an Ice Age at one time on this planet, so in my opinion fluctuations in temperatures are nothing mroe than natural phenomena of the planet. It seems too early to directly tie it to certain conduct by the human race.

Good thing opinions are like assholes; everyone’s got them, and they all stink.

Try feeding your ‘opinion’ some science, but science is hard for pee brains like yours.

According to Living Planet publishing company, the Yosemite National Park in California, over 1000 years ago had NO glaciers. Today they have 96 glaciers and over 200 ice caps. We are in an Interglacial period. Yes it is going to be warmer and glaciers will melt. But guess what, it is going to get cooler in the long term, no matter what humans do.

Are you concerned about global warming? Then you stop driving. You stop using electricity. You stop using a computer. Then that will solve the problem and the rest of us can continue to live a normal life.

In the History of humankind, we have always prospered during the warm periods. Read the book, Guns, Germs and Steel. Come on people, get more information. Don’t be hoodwinked by people with a political agenda. If you let them convince you to change the energy policies of the world then millions of people in third world countries will die. You personally are preventing them from having the same lifestyle you have by limiting their use of energy. They will not be able to grow crops like we do. They will not have access to information like we do. They will not be able to heat their homes and cool their homes and build hospitals. They won’t have access to energy. And it will be your fault they die.

Get more information please, please, please.

[millions of people in third world countries] who will die? Be honest with me.

And, you stated:

[They will not have access to information like we do. They will not be able to heat their homes and cool their homes and build hospitals. They won’t have access to energy. And it will be your fault they die.]

Your bleeding all over this comment and I do not believe a word of it.

You [Get more information please, please, please].

And start by reading the IPCC AR4 Working Group III.

Tell us if you feel the same about the millions of people living on the Indian Ocean coast who will be displaced as the oean levels rise…and that is just for starters.

There will always be pseudo-caring people who argue doing nothing is the best way to ….protect…. the poorest among us. After all, if you give a homeless man a dollar he will ask for more and never get a job. You believe that, I am sure. But, you would not take a moment to actually help him get a job. You just need him to worry about!

There are only about 15 remnant glaciers in the entire Sierra Nevada. So the claim that Yosemite has 96 glaciers is absurd on its face. Unfortunately, this level of cluelessness is typical for global-warming deniers like the pathetically ignorant individual who calls him/herself “global cooling”.

Having personally hiked much of the Yosemite backcountry, I know firsthand that Yosemite has very few tiny, remnant glaciers.

Sounds like Global Warming is truly naturogenic after all…

1. The usual circuitous argument about CO2 goes up after the Industrial Revolution, so it has to be man. That doesn’t account for the fact that the warming may have been driving the Industrial Revolution in the first place.

2. Isotopes. It says that there iatmospheric CO2 is a different isotope than CO2 from fossil fuel burning. This raises two questions…what isotope comes from CO2 released from permafrost? Second, if this CO2 isotope is not the same as atmospheric CO2, how can we be sure that it has the same global warming effect? Maybe it is not as efficient a greenhouse gas as atmospheric CO2 which would explain why the hockey stick of CO2 does not result in a hockey stick of temperature.

Basagic’s glacier survey also aims to refine estimates of how many glaciers exist in California. Those estimates range from several dozen to nearly 500.

So, there is currently research to find out how many glaciers there really are in California. Since Global cooling said he/she was quoting from another book and wasn’t just giving an opinion, the attack against him/her seems rather odd. I guess if you don’t agree with someone rather than give facts, you just attack their character.

And how do you know that the person doesn’t really care about the people in third world countries or the poor in America? How can you know what that person feels for others?

Who does higher gasoline, electric and food costs hurt? The poor. Yeah, let’s crank up the gasoline and tax it more. The poor will die and we can consume their carbon credits.

How many of you have quoted your source of information?

And I see that some have provided links to their source of information. So if someone else points to another source that refutes the original who is right? And if all the scientists agree how come so many scientist disagree? Is it all or not? Must be questionable science.

Now you can bash me along with the others as opposed to making arguments with facts.

“The contributors to this site do so in a personal capacity during their spare time and their posts do not represent the views of the organizations for which they work, nor the agencies which fund them.”

So, these are just people with an opinion which may or may not have a bias toward a specific political leaning and use their science and education to push a political point of view. How can we know the truth?

2) Realclimate is written by climate scientists. They are not “just people with an opinion” — and their posts are subject to the marketplace of ideas in their comments section.

Hmm - who isn’t paying attention to the science?

http://www.dailytech.com/ Temperature+Monitors+Report+Worldwide+Global+Cooling/ article10866.htm
“All four major global temperature tracking outlets (Hadley, NASA’s GISS, UAH, RSS) have released updated data. All show that over the past year, global temperatures have dropped precipitously.”

You can’t just pick & choose what science you want to accept. The facts are now in - 2007 was NOT the hottest year on record. Quite the opposite, it would seem.

University scientists trumpeting global climate change receive millions in grants to study it. A conflict of interest?

Those who disagree? They must be silenced!!!

Typical liberal hypocrisy. What fascists! They tell you want you can say and not say (PC police). They tell you want you must believe.
