Sure I read that, you are starting to repeat yourself. Put something new in here instead of your propaganda.

Let me repeat myself and expand a little bit.

How much of the Atmosphere is made up of greenhouse Gases? We know for instance that most of the Atmosphere is Nitrogen (~78% ) and then we have corrosive Oxygen (~20%) the remaining gases CARBON DIOXIDE, Argon, Neon, Helium, Methane, Krypton and Hydrogen make up the remaining (<2%). Water vapor is also present in the atmosphere.

Less than two percent (2%) of the atmosphere is Carbon Dioxide (CO2).

Do you want me to do the part per million breakdown.

How about an analogy comparing the atmosphere to a (American) football field?

If greenhouse gases were a football they would be on the opposite goal line at risk of a safety. Two points! WhooHoo!

Greenhouse gases are insignificant.

If we planted more forests how would that effect the atmosphere?

Do cows or other animals significantly increase the methane levels in the atmosphere?

These are not scientists that you are listening to they are lawyers twisting the facts to create litigious situations to perpetuate more litigation.

You're a serious retard, it seems. Propaganda? You spouta nymber with NO research to back it, and think you've said something? Show us the non-Exxon-financed research or shut up.

You are wrong, conclusively wrong, so take your propaganda elsewhere. Nobody but you believes it, and even you don't. If you did, you'd have provided the research links by now.

You're an irresponsible fool.

Cool Global Warming overview, along with some interesting info.

This is why GW/CC is so worrying to some of us, and why the rest of you might want to take a more defensive (as in driving defensively, i.e. prepare for the worst...) tack.

Rapid Climate Change

Quote:
As a landscape that looks smooth from a distance may display jagged gullies when seen through binoculars, so sharper and sharper changes appeared as measuring techniques got better. An example was an analysis that Emiliani published in 1975 of some deep-sea cores from the Gulf of Mexico. Thanks to unusually clear and distinct layers of silt, he found evidence of a remarkable event around 11,600 years ago: a rise of sea level at a rate of meters per decade.(42) Another compelling example was a 1981 study of a few sediment cores that had accumulated very rapidly, giving excellent time resolution. They showed a startling cooling around 11-12,000 years ago � as much as 7-10�C in less than a thousand years � before the warming resumed. One expert warned that temperatures in the past had sometimes jumped 5�C in as little as 50 years.(43*)


Quote:
Greenland had sometimes warmed a shocking 7�C within a span of less than 50 years. For one group of American scientists on the ice in Greenland, the "moment of truth� struck on a single day in midsummer 1992 as they analyzed a cylinder of ice, recently emerged from the drill hole, that came from the last years of the Younger Dryas. They saw an obvious change in the ice, visible within three snow layers, that is, scarcely three years! The team analyzing the ice was first excited, then sobered � their view of how climate could change had shifted irrevocably. The European team reported seeing a similar step within at most five years.


Quote:
The Europeans and Americans nevertheless agreed that through most of the last 100,000 years the global climate had oscillated "on a scale that human cultural and industrial activities have not yet faced."(5Cool

A rapid climate change scenario created for the Dept. of Defense in the U.S.:

Thermohaline Disruption

By the way, the thermohaline decline is already 30 percent in the last 40 years. We may be very close to collapse. Ah, but, maybe all that CO2 is a blessing in disguise: pehaps it won't allow the Earth to cool even with the thermohaline collapse?

When I cite the clear evidence of the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo as a cause of recent Global temperature increase, nobody counters. That's fine.

The earth is the warmest now for at least 400 years, and probably 1000.

How many volcanoes have there been in that time?

You can't put our planetary warming down to pinatubo. That happened in 1991. The arctic ice has been shrinking rapidly since at least 1970.

CB! Ol' pal!!! Guess what? Volcanoes cool the planet.

Good god... why do you people get on these threads if you don't even know the 4th grade level science, let alone the GW stuff?
