Cato responds: The planet has had many episodes of Global Warming and Global Cooling in the past without any help from us. Earth has gone though it many, many times. Times so warm that there was no ice or snow at all. No polar caps or glaciers. The world survived. Times so cold that ice a mile thick covered the Great Lakes area in North America. One time the Earth was so cold, some scientists think it may have bee covered with snow and ice almost to the equator. The Earth survived. Our caveman (oops, cave-person) ancestors lived through the last Ice Age, and they survived. They adapted to the conditions. If they hadn't, we wouldn't be here. What to do about it?? Well, Not spend hundreds of billions or trillions of dollars fighting it. The best that would do is maybe old the inevitable off for a while longer. In the meantime we will spend ourselves into the poor house and destroy our economies. Not worth it in the long run. So what to do about it?? Accept the reality, prepare for the change, and adapt to it. Life on this world has two choices. Adapt or die. Cato |

The Great Barrier Reef is dying. Nope: Not dying. BleachWatch observers are reporting that reef flat corals seen to pale slightly in the central and northern Great Barrier Reef are returning to normal colouration. If it is dying... then tell me please, what do you think happened to it during times in Earth's past when it was even much warmer then now??? If it is dying, is there evidence that the water there has warmed that much in just past couple of decades??? What do you think the effect of the Medieval Warm Period was on the reefs of the world?? It was warmer then than it is now. Did the reefs all die and then pop back into existance when it got cooler??? If the reef is dying, don't you think it is possible that something else is killing it that has nothing whatsoever to do with global warming??? Due to the range of human uses made of the water catchment area adjacent to the Great Barrier Reef, water quality has declined owing to the naturally acidic sediment and chemical runoff from farming, and to loss of coastal wetlands which are a natural filter. Principal agricultural activity is sugar cane farming in the wet tropics and cattle grazing in the dry tropics regions. Both are considered significant factors affecting water quality. It is thought that the mechanism behind poor water quality affecting the reefs is due to increased light and oxygen competition from algae. Something else that has caused a great deal of trouble is the Crown of Thorns starfish. Overfishing of certain species of fish that have an impact on the reef. Certain micro-organisms that effect corals. One question that you "True Believers" have a really hard time answering is.. How did the earth survive all those warmer interglacial periods before??? At times it has been so warm in Earth's past, that the earth didn't have any icecaps at all. Much warmer then today. But guess what??? The Earth is still here. It survived. So Who Is Bonkers??? |

Lies & Distortions in Al Gore's global warming scare film, An Inconvenient Truth. http://newyork.craigslist.org/wch/pol/314920789.html http://www.cei.org/pdf/ait/app.pdf Al Gore...... quite an interesting guy! Made an interesting little socialist propoganda film called "An Inconvenient Truth" as most of us know. He's been up here in Toronto, Canada a few times giving talks to the "True Believers" of this new Global Warming, Climate Change, "It's All Our Fault" religion. Signed a lot of autographs for left wing Canadians that admire him. I guess he is one of the High Priests, just like that Dr. David Suzuki guy. He is a real Prophet of Doom in this new faith too. The web site URL's above show Lies & Distortions in his film. Quite interesting. Cato |

More about lies and distortions in this film:http://www.newscientist.com/blog/env...imate-change-w... I'd like to repeat my question..... How did the earth survive all those warmer interglacial periods before??? At times it has been so warm in Earth's past, that the earth didn't have any icecaps at all. Much warmer then today. But guess what??? And I will ask a few more questions ... There have been many times in the past that the earth was much warmer then today. 1. How did the coral reefs survive those very warm times??? 2. Did they all die off, and then return somehow?? 3. What caused Global Warming, and Global Cooling in the past?? It appears that several other bodies in the Solar System are now undergoing some sort of Climate Change. It looks like they are warming up too. http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles...suvjupiter.htm 4. What is your opinion of Solar Sytem Warming? If you agree it is happening... then 5. What is causing it? |
