I can't imagine that figuring out the global climate is beyond our grasp.

No, I again will say - and this will lead to the cycle of the debate again - Global Warming is not man made.

Right, because you'll point out that it's a proven fact that Rush Limbaugh says so.

That's all fine and well Will, but we don't want to know what global warming isn't, we want to know what it is. If it isn't manmade it must be somethingelsemade. What physical mechanism do you propose is responsible for the bulk of observed 20th century warming?

Don't bash a theory unless you have a better one to replace it.

Why do we have two competing threads on the same topic?

If you do not believe in Global Warming these days - especially as a Scientist - you will be ridiculed for believing other things. It is similar to the debate on homosexuals. Those who believe it is good continue to say that if they say they are homosexual they get laughed at, ridiculed, not taken seriously, etc. You are simply contradicting your own philosophy.

Global Warming is an occurance that has been occurring since the beginning of the earth and is a natural process that is intended to keep the earth in a continual state of positive measure. It is not at all caused by man. As well, the effect is so minimal for all attempts.

That's right, you will be... just as you'd be ridiculed for believing in a static universe or that dinosaurs were all cold-blooded or that it's impossible to break the sound barrier. Science has left you ridiculously behind, which, if you're a scientist, makes you worthy of ridicule.

Ummmm.... say what? Try that one again.

Not like this it isn't, Will, because this is the only time since the beginning of the earth there's been 6 billion human beings artificially pumping 24 billion tons of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere every year, on top of what nature produces.

What's happening now is an ANOMOLY to the natural fluctuations of the pas, and it's happening on cue... AS PREDICTED based on human activity.

This has turned into another Global Warming thread. Closing.
