This is ridiculous. For the last 10 years the trends have been flat or downward for temperature. The ocean submerged sensors have given that reading as well. The Antarctic Ice cap is growing except where the undersea volcanoes are spewing out lava in the northern most part of Antarctica. The glaciers that every one rants about had a lot of reduction they are ranting about over 150 years ago. That process is turning around. Gore claims that if the North Pole melts the surface of the oceans will rise 20 inches. That will generate 0 inches since all of that ice floats on water. The most reasonable scientists claim the level change if all the ice melts is 2 inches. And the problem is Antarctica is growing more ice.
Temperatures seem to be falling so this story tries to come up with a reason why. Can't be wrong on global warming. Has to be some other reason for the cooling.-

The earth absorbs a fairly constant amount of energy from the sun every day. Some of it is reflected back into space. Ice reflects more energy than water so as ice melts a greater proportion of this energy is absorbed . At night a lot of the energy, in the form of heat, is radiated. Carbon dioxide and hydrocarbons in the atmosphere act as an insulating blanket around the planet preventing some of this heat from radiating into space. If we absorb more than is radiated the Earth will warm up. Endo, whether you believe in global warming or not, you have to realize that all of those hydrocarbons in our atmosphere cannot be good for the long term survival of our planet.

Good points there, Stevie, BUT the warming that would result from CO2 and water vapor would cause warming in all levels of the atmosphere and the upper atmosphere is not indicating any warming at all... just the surface.

This is an indicator that the warming of the surface only is NOT atmospheric (caused by greenhouse gasses) as once thought. Puzzle, yes?
I actually did a study and found that urbanization has impacted our temperature recording data on the surface, causing them to indicate higher temperatures ERRONEOUSLY. (A weather station once located in a green pasture is now located next to a runway, for example)
No, pollution is not a good thing, but I hope Obama changes his promise and hesitates to pull the trigger on the U.S. economy in some blind attempt to cool the planet. An iceage would be worse (in terms of survival) than a 5 degree temperature increase over the next 200 years.

Good analysis endo but I'm afraid that in the first decade of the new millenium that human caused Global Warming has taken on the role the CIA assumed in the 1970s. In 2008 Global Warming is capable of just about anything... including the cooling of the planet.

Endo, you are so goddamn stupid that the republicans might want to nominate you for pres. You have managed to make a post that is absolutely and beyond reasonable doubt completely false. It works like this retard. I have 2 sources of information to compare. I can listen to your completely unsupported claim that temperatures are dropping, or I can open my window and feel the heat and then I can turn on the news and see that this is a new heat record. As far as the idea of floating ice and the sea level here again you show your complete lack of knowledge about reality. I know physics and you don't . Try this experiment at home. freeze a big block of ice say a 5 inch cube. Put it in a 5 gallon bucket of water and measure the water level. then wait til it melts and measure the water level. If it stays at 0 feel free to post. If it rises please reply with the following.

Thank you CaptainLucid for pointing out that I was wrong, I am sorry and will make a at least a minimal attempt to know if something is correct. I am sorry for posting comments as fact when I have no idea what they mean.
By the way all you other readers please feel free to try the Idiotscopy test with the block of ice and the bucket of water test. Endoscopy says the water level won't rise. Here is an easy way all of you at home can see right in front of your very eyes that endo is a lying retard.-

Hey Captain Fizzicks, put three ice cubes in a measuring cup, add water until the water line is at the one cup mark. Check the level after the ice cubes melt.-

Yes, the water level rose. Did you expect something different? Did you even have a point? Have you ever opened a physics book? Have you been listening to people like endo too much? I can't believe I am debating with 2 idiots who post crap they have no idea about and then mock the reality that they refuse to take a look at. Its like if someone said you were broke so your response was to show them a bunch of 20s in your wallet but they said they weren't interested in seeing it and then they still make fun of you for being broke.
