“He’s also of the opinion that there is serious disagreement within the scientific community regarding global warming. I was under the impression that the only people disagreeing at this point are in denial.”

There was another post somewhere (which I can’t find) that says, basically, that any politician that doesn’t believe in global warming shouldn’t be trusted to run the nation.

Then again, there is a flaw in my reasoning. I believe his quotes all make reference to “global warming” not “man-made global warming”. It is true that there is a lot of evidence to support that the earth is warming, but there are other possible reasons it can be happening (only one of which points to human activity). I’m not saying that any of these are true; I’m just providing other alternative reasons:

1) Natural climactic cycles. Technically we are still coming out of an ice age.

2) Activity on the Sun (sunspots, solar flares, etc.) affects climate on the earth, and not all of these effects are known.

3) The greenhouse effect causes radiation from the Sun (and to a small extent, from other stars) to be trapped on the earth as heat.

Everyone talks about CO2 emissions, but the fact is that CO2 makes up less than 10 percent of greenhouse gasses. The largest contributer by far (comprising something like 75%, but I’m not completely sure) is water vapor. Which doesn’t surprise me, since the earth’s surface is 75% water.

In case you haven’t figured it out, I’m a big proponent of the “global warming is happening, but it’s not caused by man” idea. That does not mean we can’t do anything about it, but it does mean that we’re focusing on the wrong things.

Holy cow, I didn’t mean to write an essay.

I do not think I was being overly critical though, your statements were really shallow, but project de facto weight when one considers your thoughtful posts on technology, and so a measured response I felt was appropriate.

How come other planets in our solar system have also been detected as having higher temperatures?

Shouldn’t we then call it “Man Made Solar-System Warming”?
