Global warming

[JimG.]

Man, you guys are as serious as a heart attack!

I like Domeskier's take, that's all. Stress will kill you faster than global warming.

Jim,

Ed's post was a Big Lebowski reference. Completely not serious

Admittedly lost on me, not a movie watcher.

Never considered myself a nihilist; I believe in climate change, but I do not believe it is due solely to human activity. I think that assertion is absurd. I also do not believe that in the long term (think geological time) that any human activity has a long lasting effect on Earth.

What does scare me is groups of people who aggressively assert that climate change is caused only by humans to the exclusion of other theories and the notion that humans can "fix" climate change. I do not appreciate being labelled a "climate denier" (whatever the hell that means) because of my opinions. And I sure as hell don't want these aggressive humans who claim humanity is to blame for the problem also telling me that humans can "fix" it. That's insane.

THIS!!! Those who think humans have that much control over mother nature are deluding themselves. Man is puny compared to Mother Nature!

Ever look down when flying cross country in a plane? Man has completely transformed much of the earth. You really think that has no consequences?

You mean like seeing all the agriculture that is grown where none existed before on barren plains?

I'm going to regret this... but I thought some of you would want to know. I just published a brief post of the impacts of climate change on skiing in New England.

Someone's actually worried if "their" ski experience will be bad 30 years from now due to Global Warming?

Awwww..... that's SO darn adorable!

I almost want to buy him a pony party and an ice cream cone to cheer him up.

Did your post factor in this? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/...eat-climate-change-exaggerated-faulty-models/

That is paywalled. I can't see what article they are referencing. If you can paste a reference to the journal article under the comments section or discussion thread I created, I'd be happy to comment on it. I don't think this thread is that place to get into a detailed discussion.

I'm going to assume that this is in reference to this paper:http://www.nature.com/ngeo/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/ngeo3031.html
A number of right wing denialist rags have misrepresented it as meaning there is no global warming, the IPCC got it all wrong, etc. Not true, here is a rebuttal letter by the authors clarifying the meaning of their science http://www.oxfordmartin.ox.ac.uk/opinion/view/379. Also keep in mind that this is one paper, additional studies would be required to verify and confirm their findings. That's how this works...
