Academic issues are not informed opinion. Human direct vs indirect (machines) is an academic issue, because it’s all human caused one way or the other, and we have the means to mitigate it.

I believe science deniers like Fred Singer and Pat Michaels watching Al Gore present his evidence and warning about sea level rise and increasing temperatures then telling us how they can be avoided, say say:

‘ look, more of his alarmist algorithms.’

Theres going to be fireworks. Watch this space.

Especially if you are going to be vice president.

Arrogant about man causing Global Warming?

Man (humans) has never learned how to Fly. Humans have learned how to build machines that can fly, man just rides along to operate the controls and ride along.

Man (humans) does not cause Global Warming. Humans machines do. Humans redusing of earths carbon sinks does.

Human machines changes the content of the earths atmosphere by extracting carbon and carbon fuels from inside the earth and burning it in powerful machines that releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Doing this burning for decades after decades, the atmosphere changes enough to change the insulating factor of the atmosphere. Other human factors changes the earths ability to capture this carbon dioxide in biomass and other changes.

Man at 1/10 horsepower is to powerless to affect the atmosphere. It’s our great and powerful machines that is doing it.

How we talk about something matters about how we think about it.

That’s why I think this Global Warming thing should be called Human Machine and Activity Global Warming.

Human, because why should be be gender discrimanating and let the women take some of the blame.

Machine, because it’s true, Humans are very weak, especially compared to our machines. Humans can’t fly, we can’t travel 60 mph (except mostly straight down) except in our machines.

Activity, because we are changing the surface of the earth that is unrelated to machines that has affect on our atmosphere and warming.

Scientists tell use that a human DNA strand is 6 feet long and extremely thin that when in our cells doesn’t bunch up and get entangled, but our cells are still able to replicate themselves. Science has shown us so much of how things that are in existance really are. The truth about Human Machine and Activity Global Warming is one of those.

Learning about Global Warming is not the same as so many of our political discussions. The description of that process is much longer than I would want to describe here. Don’t put Science knowledge and political discussions as the same things.

Al Gore is still fat.

Alaska neither has a state sales tax nor an income tax, and gives a dividend check to each citizen every year (~$1000). According to this, 50% of state revenues come from oil payments.

In addition, at least as of 2001, according to balance of payments, AK gets more from the Federal government than it contributes, i.e., some of the rest of us subsidize AK. it’s not completely obvious why we do that…

It must be fun to run a state where the government sends checks to the people…

No, the debate is NOT still out, Nigel, and you know it. The IPCC, AAAS, NAS, and countless other scientific organizations have gathered together, reviewed all the science, and repeatedly reached the conclusion that global climate change is being caused by human activity. Perhaps you’re a better scientists than all of them? Show us your analysis of how all these scientists are just plain wrong.

I don’t think Obama’s perfect, but the ignoramus of the Republicans is so scary I just can’t vote for them anymore.
