I asked a question. A question is what you use to draw a conclusion… I have read what you wrote. If you would like to elaborate, take a shot.Hunter/Jumper wrote:

Do think this somehow excludes the possibility of new factors playing a role in encouraging climate trends? This is incredibly small thinking.Hunter/Jumper wrote:
We have had real global warming and Minni ice ages before the was any industrialization at all.
btw, if your meteorologist, not to be confused with climatologist, can't predict tomorrows weather I feel sorry for you. They are definitely right most of the time, and to use them as a gauge of accuracy is not going to help your case.

Credible sources proving that the earth is getting warmer, sources can't contradict one another. Although that will be hard to do, since most sources in favor of global warming are just as distorted as those not in favor.Turquoise wrote:

I'll put it this way... I've yet to find a peer-reviewed source that suggests global warming isn't happening. Unless you believe there is a worldwide conspiracy among the scientific community to promote the concept of global warming, I'm not sure where the doubt is coming from.UnkleRukus wrote:

I've got the book Red Hot lies if you want it. Its a comedy.UnkleRukus wrote:

Ice core samples provide a view of a much longer timeline than any of the above spans at the beginning of your post.dayarath wrote:
What I find questionable is that the graphs of a period of 200, 1000, or 2000 years always show a very steep and easily perceivable climb from the beginning of the 19th century up until now.
Is that time period actually sufficient to account for dramatic changes over larger periods of time and does it accurately display the history of the global weather system? Considering our planet is a few billion years old I'd imagine temperature fluctuations from the point where the weather pattern somewhat stabilized until now could be extreme far beyond of what is being displayed.
Lay it out against graphs of 10.000, 20.000, 50.000 even a hundred / million years and I'd love to see the findings. Even if it's just from a single region on the planet - as I imagine that's hard to aquire for a worldwide perspective.
Determining changes in the global weather system is just so incredibly complex and is dependant on SO MANY factors that the science in itself is only likely to contain many misconceptions and mistakes. Even the assumption of a continouos natural cycle that changes every X amount of years could just be very wrong.

Being skeptical for the sake of rationality is healthy. Unfortunately, it would seem that a lot of climate change skeptics are that way for political reasons.UnkleRukus wrote:

Yeah I've seen a few documentaries and papers referring to ice core samples excavated in greenland, arctics, siberia etc, but similarily only the relatively recent ones are brought forth for argumentation purposes.Turquoise wrote:

They actually provide us something more along the lines of the larger increments you mention.
rationality would imply that there is going to be a debate on the topic, anyway. that's 'healthy' and conducive to 'good science'. having experts argue each way about the possible effects is a demonstration that the scientific method is as rigorous and reliable as ever... not that the subject itself is bogus, or not worth trusting in. if scientists never questioned their own theories and results then we'd regress several thousand years in terms of 'rational' knowledge. part of rationality is to open everything up to a positive and constructive questioning. taking the fact that there is differing opinion on global warming, and then concluding that this therefore means global warming is phoney... is a little mind-boggling.Turquoise wrote:

It's definitely a sign that many deniers don't really understand the basis of science itself.Uzique wrote:

That's perfectly understandable. My post above isn't specifically calling you out, because I can tell your approach isn't politically motivated. Unfortunately, I can't say the same for certain people (most often conservatives) that seem to reject the concept altogether just because certain liberals happen to be connected with it.UnkleRukus wrote:
I'm a reasonable person, I listen to multiple arguments and theories before i make formulate an opinion. I try not to have an opinion on something I know nothing about, (this shouldn't be confused with the shit I pull on here most of that is trolling.)
If there is solid proof that demonstrates that global warming is mathematically proven, then yeah I'll believe it, and that goes the same for the lack of global warming, if there is mathematical proof that global warming doesn't exist I'll believe that.
It's tough for me to believe something that I don't understand as well which is why I'm on the fence about it. I'm not afraid to admit it either.
