Human Activity is causing Global Warming!

Federal Court said Bush Violated Environmental Law

U.S. District Court Judge Sandra Armstrong ruled that the Bush Administration violated a 1990 law that REQUIRES an updated plan every three years on Climate Change. The last update was issued in 2003. She ordered Bush to submit the required plan by March 2008.

The results from research on ice cores that were drilled 2,000 feet down in the Antarctica with ice that was 800,000 years old show the rate of global warming is many times faster then at any time during the past 800,000 years. They also dated the start of this rapid global warming to the start of the Industrial Revolution. The research also was able to establish the types of pollution that was captured in the frozen ice cores. In the early part of the industrial revolution the pollutants were burning wood and coal. In the period from about 1910 the other major pollutant was the result of the internal combustion engine.

These results now document that the rate of Global warming is off the scale compared with any increase in the 800,000 years prior to about 1880. It also shows that the types of pollutants are being produced by human activity. The study said even if we reverse our dumping pollution into the atmosphere it will take a long time to see any reversal of the global warming that is taking place. The consequences of this global warming will be catastrophic on both the rise of the world’s oceans and in weather changes that this warming will cause!

YOU HAVE PROVEN NOTHING. The scientific data is clear- YOU and the other people that ignore the reality are pathetic. Just look at what is going on around the world. The changes in weather, the extreme weather is undeniable. The consequences of you being wrong are so extreme that any reasonable person would agree we must do all we can do to reverse the warming before we will be unable to send Blogs like this one!


"Good GRIEF, Col. Gene! You really need to be COMMITTED! You have lost it, big time. When global warming rates are the same on Mars and Venus its absolute lunacy to attribute it to man made causes."

The number of scientists that say there is a problem and that we are helping to create the problem can not be ignored by a rational person. In addition, the consequence of ignoring this issue if the Conservatives are WROMG are so dire, that again a rational person would act our an abundance of caution not burry their head in the sand.

Most of those scientist were part of the global cooling crowd that said we faced extinction if we did not melt the ice caps so as to protect us from the coming ice age. They also said we only had ten years to act before it would become irreversible. At that time NASA said that the planets Venus Earth and Mars were rising in temperature at the same rate. Those global cooling scientist said that NASA had faulty data and we were all going to freeze to death and we had to stop the problem NOW! What rational person would listen to people that make wild claims every 30 years that contradict their last wild claim? The NYT has for the last one hundred years published twice that there would be global warming. They also published twice in the last hundred years that there would be global cooling. They run in spurts of about 25 years then they reverse themselves. You just happen to notice the global warming crap but you seem to have ignored the ice age they predicted in 1964. Living in NY I remember that Sunday paper with the empire state building and the Chrysler building just above the snow line and the rest of NYC covered in a blanket of snow. I have feared snow ever since. So far the proof is very thin that supports your argument col. Gene.

In addition, the consequence of ignoring this issue if the Conservatives are WROMG are so dire, that again a rational person would act our an abundance of caution not burry their head in the sand.


If we acted when the scientist said we were all going to freeze to death and started to melt the polar ice caps 40 years ago would we have been better off today?

In 1978 NASA produced irrefutable evidence that the Earth is getting hotter. The global cooling crowd agreed and said we are all going to die from global warming and we only had ten years to fix the problem or we were all going to die from the heat. In 1987 a paleo-etymologist published his findings that the Earth will warm up to a certain point and then cool it’s self off with an ice age. He discovered the ocean conveyer system that keeps us warm in the north. This is where you get the movie the day after next or something.

What people fail to understand is that this has happened several times in Earths history. The last time was about a million years before man showed up. You see col. the Earth is coming out of an ice age that lasted three million years. So in the last 800,000 thousand years the Earth is getting hotter faster until it reaches its normal global temperature. Man has only been around for the last ten thousand years and keeping records for the last two hundred years and keeping accurate global records for the last ten years. The solar system travels around the galactic center once every two hundred and fifty million years. With that in mind man has not even been around for one cycle of the sun to know what is normal and what is not.

MORE current data that we are causing Global Warming:

Hot Year Blamed on Greenhouse Gases
August 28, 2007 1:37 PM EDT
WASHINGTON - "We have met the enemy, and he is us," the comic-strip character Pogo said decades ago. A new analysis of last year's near-record temperatures in the United States suggests he was right.

Warming caused by human activity was the biggest factor in the high temperatures recorded in 2006, according to a report by researchers at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

The analysis, released Tuesday, is being published in the September issue of Geophysical Research Letters, published by the American Geophysical Union.

In January, NOAA's National Climatic Data Center reported that 2006 was the warmest year on record over the 48 contiguous states with an average temperature 2.1 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than normal and 0.07 degree warmer than 1998, the previous warmest year on record.

In May, however, NOAA revised the 2006 ranking to the second warmest year after updated statistics showed the year was actually .08 F cooler than 1998.

At the time the agency said it was not clear how much of the warming was a result of greenhouse-gas induced climate change and how much resulted from the El Nino warming of the tropical Pacific Ocean that was under way.

"We wanted to find out whether it was pure coincidence that the two warmest years on record both coincided with El Nino events," Martin Hoerling of NOAA's Earth System Research Laboratory in Boulder, Colo., said in a statement.

His study looked at the effects of El Nino in the past as well as the effects of the release of gases such as carbon dioxide into the atmosphere by human industrial activities.

The analysis of past El Nino events in the 20th century found that the result was a slightly colder than normal annual average temperature over the 48 contiguous states.

To double check that, the researchers conducted two sets of 50-year computer simulations of U.S. climate, with and without the influence of El Nino. They again found a slight cooling across the nation when El Nino was present.

Then they looked at the effect of the increased greenhouse gases - which are given that name because they can help trap heat from the sun somewhat like a greenhouse traps heat.

They ran 42 different tests using complex computer models to simulate changes in the atmosphere under various conditions and concluded that the "2006 warmth was primarily due to human influences."

While Hoerling's study focused on the United States, NOAA also tracks world climate. Worldwide, 2005 was the warmest year on record, topping 1998, according to the agency.

The research was supported by NOAA's office of Global Programs.

Please let me know when you get to last month when NASA had to retract most of what was said because even though they tripple checked the data someone lied to support global warming and it seems that last century still holds most of the warmest temps on record. oops, when you cherry pick your data you have to present it to people that have not bothered to read stuff as it is released. Because of my business I have direct links to the hurricane center in Miami as well as other agencies. It cost money to have them but I get the information as much as three hours before it hits the news media and I get it without spin. With the sun getting hotter each and every minute sooner or later the Earth will not be able to cool itself as it once did, thats when we will be in trouble. The short of it is that you are being lied to by the religion of global climate change, or you are lying to us here. which is it?

Have you been looking at the extreme weather conditions all over the world? Keep living in a dream world.

Have not seen any extreme weather conditions for years.

Now if you want to talk extreme how about those 900 foot tidle waves that traveled at 650 mph. or the time when all the free oxygen in our atmosphere was linked to sulfer so when it rained it would rain H2So4? You see there has not been any real extreme weather in our lifetimes. We have not had a major ice age in the entire history of mankind. Tornados and hurricanes are produced by the Sun so you can rule them out. we had a lot of snow last winter and every year people are surprised to be hit by floods in the spring and summer months. (hint)snow melts and becomes water, this comes back to the ground as rain. Every summer it gets hot and every winter it gets cold they are called seasons look it up.
