We are increasing the percentage of greenhous gases. Why does it not have an effect? I strongly suspect the primary source of energy in our solar system is the cause. Now what could that be? It would take an absolute idiot to not think that the sun was the major influence on the temperature of the earth. But I don't think that it follows that man has no effect on the system. A prime example is the planet Mercury. It catches quite a bit more solar radiation than we do on earth. But the parts not catching the solar radiation aren't warm at all. And Venus, which catches more than we do, has temperatures that are much higher than would otherwise be expected, and these temps are not in areas directly exposed by the sun. Now what could that be? That was a little condescending wasn't it? - 73 de Mike N3LI - |

Maybe the 394 thousand years before creation was an annealing process. The latest news of McCain voting down the Clunker's Bill (What? not going to give us back our own money? Still some bankers without their last year bonus?) suggests the latest spike is to anneal out the remaining Neanderthal DNA. 73's Richard Clark, KB7QHC |

The Global-Warming/Ice-Age cycle has been primary and we are 8000 years into the next ice age. If man has any effect at all, it will be to delay the onslaught of the next ice age. Indeed, this ice age cycle seems to be somewhat delayed compared to the previous ones. Seems that you are asking for proof that man doesn't have any effect. That's a lot like asking for proof that God doesn't exist. The onus of proof is upon those who assert the positive. Nobody has proven that man is or can be the anywhere near the primary cause of global warming. The ice-core temperatures prove that the most severe global warming(s) occurred before man ever existed. But I don't think that it follows that man has no effect on the system. I think you would agree that plants have much more of an effect than man? Plants love CO2 and produce O2. There was a time in the past when the oxygen level was double what it is today and dragonflies had a wingspan equal to my armspan. Believing that man has a drastic effect on the present global temperatures is akin to believing that the earth is the center of the universe, i.e. delusions of grandeur, e.g. Al Gore. Now what could that be? That was a little condescending wasn't it? It's called a rhetorical question. :-) I ask a lot of rhetorical questions. -- 73, Cecil, IEEE, OOTC, http://www.w5dxp.com |
