B.S. argument, nobody is attacking anybody for wanting to take care of the planet...........The premise that GW, climate change, whatever you want to call it today, is fact, and caused by humans, is what is being called into question...

You are in serious denial.

And abject ignorance re: how science works.


Your choice.

I've read some of these scientists' papers and while they contain some empirical evidence, they do not provide a convincing argument on the causal events.

A new paper says changes in ocean currents, rather than carbon dioxide,
explain most of the recent warming:

Overall the results suggest that the Southern Oscillation exercises a
consistently dominant influence on mean global temperature, with a maximum
effect in the tropics, except for periods when equatorial volcanism causes
ad hoc cooling.

That mean global tropospheric temperature has for the last 50 years fallen
and risen in close accord with the SOI of 5-7 months earlier shows the
potential of natural forcing mechanisms to account for most of the
temperature variation.
http://blogs.news.com.au/heraldsun/andrewbolt/index.php/heraldsun/comments/follow_the_hot_money/]Follow the hot money | Herald Sun Andrew Bolt Blog[/url]

But then the natural question arises, what caused the ocean heat content to change in the first place?
Did the whales become more active? Did the aliens do it? Are there massive subsurface volcanic eruptions, or....



Maybe, remotely, possibly, yet, a bit of?

CO2

PS. andrew bolt is right wing butjob, much like limbaugh
