At one time that website had Michael Jackson and Geri Halliwell (from the Spice Girls) listed as top noted scientists who "object" to the idea of global warming.
Below is some more fun facts about the "Orgeon Petition"
My question is who will lose profits if global warning initiatives are enacted? Exxon has fought CO2 emission controls for decades and funds billions to think tanks and scientists who help deny global warming. Exxon Mobile is the company getting richest as long they can prevent regulation.
I think we are in a warming period, but I think it is pretty arrogant to think we have caused it and I don't think we can prevent it...I think its old mother earth just doing her thing. She has been going thru these cycles for millions of years.
Here is a site with a pretty good outline of these warm/cold periods.
Quote:
Climatologists have used various techniques and evidence to reconstruct a history of the Earth's past climate. From this data, they have found that during most of the Earth's history global temperatures were probably 8 to 15 degrees Celsius warmer than today. In the last billion years of climatic history, warmer conditions were broken by glacial periods starting at 925, 800, 680, 450, 330, and 2 million years before present.
Is that the Gorical's research vehicle in this photo?
I agree that it's possible there's some global warming happening. But with the recent revelations about scientists emailing each other and conspiring to hide certain data that doesn't fit the Gorical's scenario, it seems more like political hot air to me.
But if there's really some global warming happening I very much doubt that it's due to human activity and I'm certain that giving American taxpayers' money by the billions to third world countries as some kind of 'punishment' for Americans breathing out carbon dioxide or however that scenario goes is not going to 'save' the planet from the alleged Copenhagen Crisis.
Someone mentioned the speed of how the ice caps are melting, that that should cause some type of alarm. What about this:
We find archaeological discoveries of Woolly Mammoths with undigested food in its stomac or in other various conditions. A researcher wanted to know what it would take to freeze (essentially a elephant) to prevent internal decay. This researcher went to the only source he knew who could answer based on everyday experience....Tyson Foods.
The answer: to freeze an elephant so that
internal rotting doesn't take place
organs be intact
food particles be found on the teeth
would take a minimum @ 450 degrees below zero .... within 15 minutes or else the internal body heat and acides would rot the tissue. Being that it is "Wooly" would probably take colder temps at a faster time....
Point is that what ever caused the ice age (if natural) historically nature can negate any global warming scenerio within seconds.
And if there is another "mini ice age" as being suggested by some climatologists, then we not ought to be driving anything other than SUV's.

Also, I read that a NAASA scientist once said that looking at the overall history of the earth, that it is very arrogant to think that earth's avg temp should be determined based on late earth history. There are too many other factors that have a greater and powerful effect on the earth and its orbit, ... like the previous super valcano eruptions or the multiple volcanic areas (now inactive) in the Southwestern US or the large metor impact in AZ.

Well with the temperatures being the way they are right now I don't see much evidence of "global" warming. Quite the opposite.
Remember the ozone layer scare and how we bought into that.
