Re: My belief in Global Warming is getting shaky
This just in!
Yesterday from 7pm to 4am the temperature dropped many degrees!! Watch out, an ice age is upon us!
Grains, just because the average global temperature dropped below the running average over a year or a few years even means little in and of itself.
As was already said by many, look at long term trends.
I do applaud you for making falsifiable predictions about the next number of years. I suspect you are wrong with the possible exception of this year. But that is at least a claim which can be tested.
The basics is this,
A. CO2 in the atmosphere absorbs heat (long wavelength energy).
B. Mankind is pumping more CO2 into the atmosphere than the earth's natural systems can absorb, leading to a build up of CO2 in the atmosphere.
C. The more CO2 in the atmosphere, the more heat.
That is really the basic foundation. The climate is incredibly complicated and many things affect it, of which the 'greenhouse' gases are only one.
If you disagree with any of the above issue, please let us know which one. Otherwise if you agree with each, it appears you agree mankind is contributing to GW.
