I thought the article would be of interest to you. I’m glad you liked it.

Pam thanks for posting the link to that article. That article is excellent, and it is very significant that it comes from someone who believed GW was caused by CO2 yet has enough intellectual and scientific honesty to acknowledge the evidence and keep an open mind.

I like this part:

“But since 1999 new evidence has seriously weakened the case that carbon emissions are the main cause of global warming, and by 2007 the evidence was pretty conclusive that carbon played only a minor role and was not the main cause of the recent global warming.”

I have been saying this for 3 years. I am not a Climatologist, a guru, or an expert on the subject. But I was able to do a little research on the Internet and found very easily what the so called greenhouse gases are, what their effectiveness as a gg is, and what their percentage is in the atmosphere. And I could see right away that CO2 was a very, very minor player in the GG scheme of things. COMMON SENSE told me that even if the greenhouse effect was causing GW, CO2 WAS NOT a substantial culprit and all this babble and idiocy from Al Gore and his Church of Global Warming zealots was nonsense.

Now if I can figure this out so quickly, why can’t other educated people do the same?

SFL, got anything to say now? Don’t worry, we’ll let you off the hook easy. We won’t beat you up. But admission is the first step to recovery…

Hey Robert, take a look at the update. I seem to recall you making some of those very points!

I almost feel sorry for the fools duped by Al Gore and his Church of Global Warming. They bought into it hook, line, and sinker and now there’s really no place for them to go. There is no face-saving way out, no graceful denouement.

Common sense and the ability to think and research on their own would have given them enough doubt to keep them from becoming militant in their assertions. But apparently they possess neither.

Hey Scott,

No, I won’t weep for your ignorance. The date on that paper is November 2007! =))

I won’t edit your comment, you seem so proud of your ignorance >-

So of course now that the APS has posted an official stance on the paper you will edit or update this post with the truth? Thought not. I will post a link so your readers can remain in the know.

Read it and weep Pam.

SFL is speechless or clueless – more like clueless. The boy must have gone underground – not liking the posts, he retreats for a while. SFL can’t win for losing.=))

Check out the solarworld car contest in Australia so good-bye to Iran and Iraq on needing the oil, well well, too bad. What will they do??? Rot in Hell!>:)

FAO, you are so right. These esthettes want others to die so they can live opulantly.

You are absolutely right Steven. The world is overpopulated. You and all of your followers should take the lead and blow your brains out to show us all how committed you are to saving the planet from overpopulation. In poker the phrase is “Call or fold?” Now you either need to put up (round up your followers and blow your own brains out) or fold (shut up and slink back into the dark dank hole you and your ilk crawled out of.) I love how you twits are oh so glib about overpopulation and resource depletion until it’s time for you to put up or shut. It’s okay for your little idiotic plans to screw with other people’s lives as long as you get rich or it at least doesn’t impact yours. Perhaps you’d change your tune if it was you and your kids who were deemed excess population and jettisoned into the ocean from 5000 ft for shark bait.

Sorry about the vitriol folks, well sort of sorry anyway. I have a splitting headache and hearing idiotic crap like this from the same people who insist on allowing the illegal aliens to come here and breed anchor babies like flies, whine about the Genocide in Darfur, and complain about any single case of collateral damage in a war zone has really gotten on my last nerve.

Read:

APS has posted a note on it’s web site saying that this paper has not gone through peer review and their position on global warming being a real issue has not changed.

I agree that real scientific debate should be open, but what’s with the hatred.
