- I have personally worked in 127 degree (F) temperatures with no ill effects. That
said, I did drink a lot of water! It was interesting that the larger metal objects were just
too hot to handle for long; yet the lower thermal conductivity of wood and plastic kept them
feeling normal.
- EPA is unified in belief in Warming
- A suppressed report by EPA scientists recently surfaced. In it EPA scientists warn
the EPA will be held responsible for a lack of scientific vigor when the IPCC report and other
climate warming reports are shown wrong. They point out:
- The
earth has been cooling since 1998 despite rising CO2 emissions
- Hurricane behavior is not worse from warming as predicted.
- Water vapor decreases warming, not increases it as IPCC reported
- Solar variability accounts for over 68% of warming
- Existing mathematical climate models (IPCC, etc.)
are increasingly at variance with obesrved reality.
- Research shows Greenland is unlikely to shed the massive amounts of ice predicted even
if warming were to continue. (Hence predictions of ocean rise are overstated.)
- These EPA scientists predict cooling will continue to at least 2030, and call for more
studies before we commit to damaging our economic system with carbon rationing and other
measures which may have no effect on climate change.

- Climate Models Predict...
- A study in Nature Geoscience, found that climate models
explain only about half of the heating that occurred during the Palaeocene-Eocene thermal
maximum (PETM) about 55 million years ago, a
well-documented period of rapid global warming in Earth's ancient past.
-
"In a nutshell, theoretical models cannot explain what we observe in the
geological record," said oceanographer Gerald Dickens, a co-author of
the study and professor of Earth science at Rice University. "There
appears to be something fundamentally wrong with the way temperature and
carbon are linked in climate models."

- Climage models overstate global warming effects; soil CO2 release models wrong, overstate
CO2 release. Soils release ten times the CO2 that people do.

- Michael Crichton
- Crichton is a well read author of popular scientific novels (Andromeda Strain, Jurassic
Park, Terminal Man,
etc.) and TV shows (ER) with a medical bent. He has several advanced degrees, is a guest
lecturer on Physical Anthropology, etc. Not a simple author!
I urge you to read and THINK about his lectures.

- The Deniers
- Just who are the deniers? Lawrence Solomon, a noted Canadian environmentalist started
out to pillory the deniers, entering an Alice in Wonderland world where things turn out not to
be quite the way they seem. The "Deniers" tend to have the strongest academic backgrounds,
not the weakest; and the stronger evidence. He decries that the warming theory advocates and
their supporters refuse to participate in true scientific discourse with those who question
the human caused warming theory.

Greenland Ice cap is now more than 250 feet under the ice.

- There were substantial birch forests and native populations in Eric the Red's time,
before The Little Ice Age.
- Today, Greenland supports only about 57,000 people.
- Do note the depth issue is a hot topic of contention between scientists and
creationists; some creationists insisting it "proves" that either the aircraft are over 2,700
years old, or that ice core data is not valid. Real scientists have other explanations.
- The Maya, Anasazi and Amerinds,
Victims of Global Warming?
- Before the little ice age, the Great Plains were the
Great Meadowlands with tree cover, brush, and plentiful game for the American Indians to catch
and eat.
- The decline and fall of the Anasazi and Maya came at the end of the Medieval Climeate
Optimum, aka Medieval Warm Period.

- Where does CO2 go during the Ice Ages?
- The solubility of CO2 in water decreases as it warms.
- If CO2 causes warming, and CO2 is released by the seas as they warm...
- So... How does CO2 get back into the sea when the sea is hot?
- Something else overpowers the "CO2 effect" to cool the seas enough
to reabsorb the CO2.
-
- Recent solar models suggest it is the variability of the sun itself.
- In fact, much research shows that CO2 lags warming and cooling by hundreds of years.
- A lagging indicator can not be a causative factor. At least not in this universe.
- Qualified educated deduction: CO2 is not THE cause global warming.
- Which carbon cycle holds the most carbon?
- The carbonate cycle in which CO2 falls as Calcium Carbonate to the ocean floor, is
subducted, and then released by vulcanism. Over 75 percent of the carbon in the atmosphtere
has come from this cycle, which is believed to have strong perturbations in the long run.
- There was substantially more CO2 available during the early evolution of plants.
Rubisco, a key conversion enzyme plants use to convert CO2 to sugars is not very efficient.
- Grasses evolved due to lower CO2 levels predominating starting about 1.3 million years
ago. Till then, there was enough CO2 for the less efficient shrubs and trees to out do the
grasses.
- Some greenhouses run CO2 generators to boost plant growth. Two of many examples:

- IPCC Report on Climate Change
- The IPCC does not monitor climate change, nor carry out research. It's only function
is to produce reports relevant to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. In other
words, to support the convention with appropriate paperwork.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intergovernmental_Panel_on_Climate_Change
- Note how they repeatedly say that they are not concerned about any
non-human
sources.
- Note how they do not know, and are not concerned about what happens to CO2 during the
glacial phase of
the cycle.

- We Need Alternative Energy!
- Civilization runs on energy.
- Our comfort, heating and cooling require energy.
- Our industrial society requires energy.
- We NEED to develop alternative energy sources.
- Someday, someone will find a better source of energy!
- We just have to keep looking. That is our highest responsibility to ourselves, to our
nation, to civilization itself!!!
