One scientist says that it is not CO2 that is causing global warming.

Good enough for me!

- Stupid Cons

Professor Ian Plimer, a geologist from Adelaide University, argues that a recent rise in temperature around the world is caused by solar cycles and other "extra terrestrial" forces.

This guy needs to look up the definition of a "greenhouse" gas.

Greenhouse gases are gases in an atmosphere that absorb and emit radiation within the thermal infrared range. This process is the fundamental cause of the greenhouse effect.[1] The main greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere are water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone.

Just because CO2 natuarlly occurs, does not mean that it is not a greenhouse gas.

Water vapor makes up 95% of greenhouse gases. CO2 about 3.5%. Of that 3.5% maybe 3% is man made. The total possibility of man made greenhouse gases is .001%. Gore is trying to sell to us that changes in this insignificant amount can destroy the world.

Global Warming the fraud that keeps on fleecing.

I don't even know why we keep discussing this.

Even if we all agree that CO2 causes global warming (which I do), no one's willing to make any real sacrifice that would meaningfully cut down on our emissions.

Time to invest in genetically altered super Kudzu that consumes massively more CO2 than ever before seen. It will spread across the globe, covering the entire surface, and we can eat from the vines, make fuel from it, clothing, etc. and live in an environmentally stable earth.

Don't oil companies hire geologists?

This geologist thinks the CO2 in the atmosphere originates in volcanoes?

I think he has rocks in his head.

Osiyo,

what the gentleman is referring to is Sun Spot Activity IE:Solar Maximum & Solar Minimum you will be hearing a lot more about this as we enter the next Solar Maximum, predicted in 2012.

From NASA: It is theorized that as much as 25% of the anticipated global warming of the earth may be solar in origin. In addition, seemingly small (0.5%) changes in the TSI output of the sun over a century or more may cause significant climatological changes on earth.

Gore is trying to sell to us that changes in this insignificant amount can destroy the world.

First of all, you automatically lose any points for the Gore reference.

Second, just because the percentage is a very small number doesn't mean it's insignificant.

In addition, seemingly small (0.5%) changes in the TSI output of the sun over a century or more may cause significant climatological changes on earth.

Nah, that can't possibly be right. 0.5% is way to insignificant to be of any concern.

I tend to agree with the direction of his view, that weather is manipulated, gasses are unaccountable for all of the strangely over-powering changes in weather atrocities and the potential as a weapon seems logical. One purpose the Rumsfeldians could have by exterminating us in such a callous fashion would be the obvious profiteering potential from the remaining desperate people, privatize the emergency care, overcharge, sub-leased contracting, sub-standards approved, Mexico provides just as many true professionals as we have but also a hell of a lot more laymen, the flooded "emergency" worker pools fighting for sub-leased Federal scraps.. Either that or just a few well-placed objects from space make even less breathable gasses like a fresh burst of pine. Flavor crystals that ignite your cranial implants.

Who other than a real vampire would freakin' live on "Mount Misery"!? His heart is an alien trans-location device that infects anyone standing within a 5 foot parameter with replication elements transported within his personal strain of engineered HIV. Every atom of your being succumb their engineering, are cataloged and immediately patented for further off-shore controlling interests plus dividends minus taxes. Although you won't immediately get sick or die or otherwise know of the "infection", your organs, their genetic script and other chemical bonds are all now a globally imposed private property of BushCo Rumsfeldian Cheneyburtons. Watch out or they might revoke your ability to digest our gruel.
