It would be interesting to know how much energy is used for consumer products such as "junk food". The stuff is not needed, and if the nation really wants to get serious about energy they would immediately "trim the fat".
I don't see any input regarding the data from Dr. Corell and his study.
Dr. Corell says his data of global warming is unassailable, and I believe him.
Would anyone like to debunk Dr. Corell's data?
Bystander, you conclude that heat from human activities is insignificant and [high] temperature records are inadequate, yet maintain that there is "insufficient data" to make a conclusion on global warming.
What other conclusions have you established based upon "insufficient data"?
Perhaps...
Uhh...the 60 Minutes report was based upon research done by Dr. Robert W. Corell, Chair of the Arctic Climate Impact Assessment and Senior Fellow, American Meteorological Society.
60 Minutes was not making the scientific assertion; it was delivering the scientific assertion made from Dr...
Ok, forget all data.
What about the archive of pictures of various glaciers, snow packs, the arctic, the antarctic, and Greenland that clearly show how the snow and ice have visibly and rapidly melted over the last 50 years?
Uhh...the 60 Minutes report was based upon research that included core samples from the arctic and antarctic that provide data from the past 650,000 years.
What do you think is required, aside from more time, for anybody to accurately judge the global warming issue?
According to a segment on global warming yesterday on 60 Minutes, 98% of all glaciers on the planet are melting, and doing so at a high rate, which is not normal. Also, according to the 60 minutes report, the levels of CO2 and the temperature are higher now -the last 50 years- than anytime in...
You include a link to wikipedia, which displays only a graph, based upon data which is not clear, from an associate professor of an obscure university, and you expect people to believe your argument? :smile:
Please explain the methodology of that data; a link, perhaps.
That was a point...
Clearly, chroot, you too are an individual that makes arguments to support foregone conclusions.
Again, can you provide additional data to support your argument on CO2? Your "piece of evidence" is questionable, and certainly not sufficient.
Again, do you have a "scientific opinion" on the...
Whether or not the CO2 levels of "today" are insignificant in comparison to that of tens of millions of years ago is a moot point.
The CO2 levels of "today" are relevant to "today", and you and I are living "today", not "tens of millions" of years in the past.
Either data is relevant or not...
