Feb. 26, 2008, 10:58 p.m.What will he do with those carbon credits now. The Russian scientists are saying that a new ice age is coming. The average temperature of the earth has been stable for the last eight years or so with this year dropping. So now we go back to the 70's and say they were right. When do we get off of the merry-go-round.

Feb. 26, 2008, 11:18 p.m.Yeah, all this worry about nothing. The world has never experience run-away global warming so obviously it never will. And another thing, all this worry about nuclear war. What good evidencee is there that nuclear war will ever happen. H bombs have been around a long time and they haven't used one yet and even if they do scientists are divided on the likely result. Can you believe people are actually concerned about an asteroid hitting the earth? Yes, we could theoretically divert a large body but why even think about it. The world recovered the last time it happened. Wake me up when every single scientist agrees on every single detail. I'll go buy a Prius.

Feb. 26, 2008, 11:25 p.m.Actually, global warming WILL happen - in 7.6 BILLION years:
http://optuszoo.news.ninemsn.com.au/article.asp...
"Our planet faces a fiery doom inside the sun unless future generations work out how to change its orbit.
New calculations by University of Sussex astronomers predict that the earth will not only be burnt to a cinder, but will also be swallowed up by the sun in about 7.6 billion years.
Emeritus reader in astronomy Professor Robert Smith and his team had previously calculated that the earth might escape ultimate destruction.
However, new calculations now take into account the effect of drag caused by the outer atmosphere of the dying sun."

Feb. 26, 2008, 11:53 p.m.One season, for one year, in a few parts of the world does not disprove global warming.. But im probably wasting my time saying this since the people who buy into this stuff cannot realize that seasonal weather and global climate are not the same thing.
Would also like to point out that according to the NCDC at NOAA. Europe and Asia still had a warmer than normal Jan. this year. And in fact Australia had its warmest winter in recorded history. 5-7°F above normal to be precise.

The national outlook for average autumn maximum temperatures (March to May) shows a moderate shift in the odds favouring cooler than normal conditions in southern Queensland and northern NSW.
The pattern of seasonal maximum temperature odds across Australia is a result of the combined effects from above average temperatures in the central to southeast Indian Ocean, and the cooler than average temperatures in the equatorial Pacific (La Niña).
Averaged over March to May, the chances are between 30 to 40% for above-normal maximum temperatures over the southern half of Queensland and the northeast half of NSW (see map). This means that below-normal maximum temperatures have a 60 to 70% chance of occurring.So for every ten years with ocean patterns like the current, about six or seven autumns are expected to be cooler than average over these parts of the country, with about three or four being warmer.

January 2008 - Cooler and Wetter than Average in Western U.S., Warmer in Northeast 31st Warmest Globally
The contiguous U.S. temperature during January 2008 was near average, according to an analysis by NOAA's National Climatic Data Center in Asheville NC. Temperatures across much of the western U.S. were cooler than average, while temperatures were warmer than average in the Northeast, which had its 20th warmest January on record. An active pattern brought heavy rain and snow to the West and helped ease drought conditions in parts of the region, but 26% of the nation remained in some stage of drought. The global average surface temperature in January was the 31st warmest on record, based on preliminary data.

Feb. 27, 2008, 12:32 a.m.Global Highlights
The combined global land and ocean surface temperature for January was the 31st warmest on record, 0.32°F/0.18°C above the 20th century mean. Temperatures were colder than average across large parts of central and southern Asia. The January global land surface average was below the 20th century mean (-0.02°F/-0.01°C) for the first time since 1982.
Large parts of China struggled with a series of severe winter storms that crippled transportation at the start of the Chinese New Year holiday, but it was the warmest January on record in Australia. According to the Bureau of Meteorology (BoM), temperatures were 3-4°C (5-7°F) above average across large areas in Western and Central Australia. The January 2008 average temperature for the nation was 1.23°C (2.21°F) above the 1961-1990 mean, which exceeded the previous record of 1.16°C ( 2.09°F) set in January 1999.

Feb. 27, 2008, 12:32 a.m.La Niña, the cold phase of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation, persisted in the equatorial Pacific, damping ocean surface temperatures. The global average ocean surface temperatures (SSTs) in January were the 17th warmest on record, with a monthly anomaly of 0.45°F/0.25°C above the 20th century mean.

Feb. 27, 2008, 12:36 a.m.A mixed message - It looks like more highs and lows, but not necessarily an average shift.

Feb. 27, 2008, 8:32 a.m.Peer-reviewing on global warming/climate changes is now starting to force the date used to be exposed. Many early studies depended on secret data so it could not be reviewed.
How many of the early scare studies still hold up? How does Gore stand up with his movie? If science is not intimidated by scare tactics, theories slowly start to evolve and then predict the future. Just like predicting the weather. Oh yea, this squeezes the people that have a fix to their theory that requires the use of lots of money for them to spend.

Feb. 27, 2008, 9:02 a.m.The person who wrote the report that was picked up by BoBo's site says"
I wish to state for the record, that this statement is not mine: "â;;a value large enough to erase nearly all the global warming recorded over the past 100 years"
There has been no "erasure". This is an anomaly with a large magnitude, and it coincides with other anecdotal weather evidence. It is curious, it is unusual, it is large, it is unexpected, but it does not "erase" anything. I suggested a correction to DailyTech and they have graciously complied.

Feb. 27, 2008, 10:05 a.m.We are all going to die , crops will freeze , Heating Oil will , skyrocket , forest will be cleared for use of the Wood for heating Homes .
If you drive a Prius you will be flogged for not caring about the Planet !
Wool will become as expensive as Oil once was , $100 per once of Fiber Weight .

Feb. 27, 2008, 10:32 a.m.Shouldn't we be focusing on something we can all agree on?
Let's start with skyrocketing oil and emphasize renewables.
No one wants pollution. Let's focus on cleaner energy and reducing emissions
Let's stop trying to scare people into changing behavior. If it becomes evident that the "global warming" proponents are wrong, people will stop listening to the important information on the changes that we can all agree on
The major problem with this type of "movement" - too many people are in it to make some money.
If we emphasize what we can all agree on, we are going to end up with a cleaner environment and less dependence on foreign oil

Feb. 27, 2008, 11:18 a.m.Good, lets hope the Artic ice cap doesn't get any smaller this coming summer.
Remember extreme weather conditions is what was predicted, not a steady warming over all of the globe.

I have a question for you:
Since you have come to the conclusion that this thread is "the blog of the stupidest 20% on earth"
AND
You have submitted numerous posts within it.....
Does your contribution have anything to do with your conclusion?????
LOL!!!

why are you so ugly all the time? Are you that insecure in your opinion and sense of self-worth that those with whom you disagree -- even though they are strangers -- threaten you?

Feb. 27, 2008, 6:12 p.m."Welcome to the blog of the stupidest 20% on earth."
Thank you. I feel honored.
But one question:
Do I get a prize like Al Gore or is that for only the top 1% of the stupidest 20% on earth.
