    Summary:

    • Climate has always changed and nothing we can do will stop it from changing.

    • There is no credible evidence that the earth is currently warming. Satellite measurements in the lower atmosphere for the past 23 years show no significant temperature change. The frequently quoted combined temperature record from weather stations is biased in favour of proximity to cities, airports. buildings, roads and vehicles, all of which have become slightly warmer over the years from increased energy consumption. Surface measurements from remote areas, or from countries with many well controlled sites ( such as the USA) show no evidence of significant warming.

    • Sea level measurements are even more biased than weather stations. They are mainly near Northern Hemisphere ports, and are subject to local and short and long-term geological changes which are difficult to allow for. Sites in remote, low population places, such as the smaller Pacific islands show no evidence of recent sea level change.

    • The earth’s temperature is warmer because of its atmosphere, and by the influence of greenhouse gases which partly prevent heat loss.

    • The changes over the years in the properties of the most important of these gases, water vapour, and the clouds that form from it, are virtually unknown.

    • The minor greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide is increasing in concentration linearly at the rate of 0.4% a year, and as a result, agricultural and forestry yields are increasing. There are no established harmful effects of this increase.

    • The rate of increase of the only other important greenhouse gas, methane, has fallen steadily for the past 17 years. The concentration is currently falling.

    • Computer climate models are based on the incorrect belief that changes in the greenhouse effect are the only influences on the climate.

    • There are huge uncertainties in the model outputs which are unrecognised and unmeasured. They are so large that adjustment of model parameters can give model results which fit any climate, including one with no warming, and one that cools.

    • No model has ever successfully predicted any future climate sequence. Despite this, future "projections" for as far ahead as several hundred years have been presented by the IPCC as plausible future trends, based on largely distorted "storylines", combined with untested models.

    • The IPCC have provided a wealth of scientific information on the climate, but they have not established a case that increases in carbon dioxide are causing any harmful effects.

    • Attempts to suggest a relationship with "unusual" weather events and changes in greenhouse gases have been unsuccessful.

    Sorry..can't figure out how to paste something here yet..

    But this meteorolgist disputes also..and yet the facts seem to be that our holes are getting clogged. They are trapping the hot air on the earth. The article shows we can't exist if this continues to happen.

    Snoozy..

    an eruption half the size of Krakatoa woukld also alter all models

    The dust from the eruption would likely cool things down a bit-and give some beautiful sunsets!

    Climate change IS the history of this planet even when no humans lived here.

    It is hardly surprising that people have a 'human centric' attitude to everything which defies our total insignificance. If we were to set of a few nukes etc, we may well wipe ourselves our and a considerable amount of the life on this planet but life would probably go on in one way or another.

    Climate Change, or Global Warming is being used by the powerful to control the weak. They want the more insignificant humans to use less rescources so that they can have enough for themselves until we run our of oil, gas etc. Food prices around the world are rising, which will have a run on effect to the poorer people, simply because the rich a demanding that more crops be grown to provide fuel for those who can AFFORD fuel! Climate change is simply the con being used to tell us, the not so wealthy, that WE are the cause of our own demise and that WE should use less fuel, energy, food etc. I don't see Al Gore using less fuel, energy, food etc but he would have us 'lesser mortals' wind our own usages down.

    The world is about to approach 'energy crisis'. For the first time since the 60's and 70's we are nearing the point where the lights will have to start going out for certain parts of the day and there will be NO ENERGY available. IN the Uk we have no nuclear plants being built and only basic wind power is being invested in. When the electricity goes off, the modern age will be over.

    It will have had nothing to do with Climate Change but more to do with Energy Change, the the failiure of governments to prevent loss and power and plan and invest in alternative fuels that would benefit EVERYONE and not just the very wealthy.

    My shopping bill is getting ridiculous!

    My fuel bill is also getting ridiculous!

    Our petrol bill is so ridiculous we don't use the car but cycle everywhere....except to go on holiday!

    This is not caused by Climate Change. Climate change is natural. Our problems are caused by useless governments who have failed to invest in alternatiave fuel and choose to distract the average mortal by claiming it is the 'average mortals' fault that they have destroyed the planet.

    The UK is obsessed with domestic consumer recycling their cardboard, glass, plastics etc. However, the shops and factories do NOT HAVE TO recycle anything at all. There was a phase where supermarkets in our area recycled their cardboard......NO MORE! Their plastic.....NO MORE! However, the ordinary man and woman in the UK is fined hundreds of pounds and receive a criminal record if they accidentally put a piece of plastic in their card board recycling or a piece or cardboard in their plastic recycling! However, industries and shops dump absolutely everything into one skip and the whole lot goes down to the land fill! Does that make you wonder what exactly is going on and why governments are trying to blame the ordinary people for the sins of huge industries? We are told not to leave our TV standbys on and yet at my husband's firm and every firm in the country all the lights are left on all night and their computers are NEVER EVER switched off! Make any sense to you?

    It's a big con and a big distraction.

    It's a form of brainwashing. Hear it often enough, Global Warming, Climate Change, caused by YOU because YOU have a car and YOU have your TV standby on and YOU have a light on in a room that no one is in, and YOU have left YOU computer on and YOU are using too much fuel and YOU, YOU, YOU always YOU and never the industries or the very rich to blame!

    Someone is pulling a fast one on us all!!

    I don't' really think that humans are causing (in any large way) global warming. That said I don't understand why we keep polluting? I mean it's not like we don't KNOW better at this point right? So why not some public works projects like in the 30's building HUGE solar plants in the desert and I MEAN huge 200-300 miles per side! Gigantic high speed trains that run cross country to cut down on air traffic. Massive ground level trains to cut down on the MILLIONS of 18 wheelers that run back and forth 24/7 I mean why do we still build trains 8 feet wide? Why not 60 feet wide and 25 feet tall with the entire top being massive solar cells. Would they still need coal sure but we can handle that to get thousands and thousands of gas guzzling trucks off the road! Why not elevated nuclear trains? What are they going to run into? Birds?

    Imagine a high speed rail that ran in a loop down the east coast across the bottom of the country (say above I-10) up along the California coast line and back down. It runs at a zillion miles an hour on electric (from that solar farm in the desert) and never stops. If you want to get on it you get on a smaller local train which accelerates to the same speed links up via a umbilical you get on the main train others get off the trains separate and the local loops back to where it started. All automated, all electric! Science fiction? Why? Cause it would be expensive? Sure but I would ride the f%^king thing! Imagine I could live in jax and work in Miami! I could even have a shorter commute! Plus I could have a little hottie attendant bring me my coffee and a bagel while I read the paper instead of beating my head on the steering wheel of my truck!

    Our problems are caused by useless governments who have failed to invest in alternatiave fuel...

    And why have they failed to invest? In part, because the same interests that defy Global Warming warnings want you to continue in the status quo (and keep buying their oil). And, in part, because we mere mortals are willing to go along with the status quo (because it's so convenient). In representative governments, it's the mere mortals that have the responsibility to make their voices heard.

    Void.

    You seem to think that a conspiracy is necessary to explain the issue. I do not.

    Your posts on this thread evidence that we sometimes psychologically need an "us vs them" mindset.
