We ALL heard of the global warming prominently flaunted by the great noble peace prize winning Al Gore.

Further pushed by the Left and the media as well.  Weird how people need a great cause to get behind, wether there is truth in that cause or not!

Global warming is easily argued against by the scientific community itself, yet everyone pushes what they hear (media, Gore) and do not take the time to research themselves!!  I always thought the liberal side of our country, were the more educated group and somehow had the capability of discerning truth more so because of their privleged lifestyle.  Higher education does not equal wiser it appears, it was ignorant for me to even suggest so in my minds eye, but logic did speak this to me, just the same.

This is what they would have you believe:

1. anomalous global warming is now occurring
2. this warming is the result of anthropogenic (man-made) greenhouse gas emissions
3. unnatural levels of global warming will occur during the next century
4. and the consequences of this warming will be disastrous
5. immediate govt actions are necessary to mitigate this coming disaster

this is good viewing if you are open minded enough to watch it all the way through:

(video) it touches on some of the below mentioned items

even though its warmer now by 1.5 degrees at best, just look at this image <here>, & this alone shows we are in a cooler period of Earths history.  which means it can get much warmer, and Earth does it all on her own, without any help from humans! 

THESE ARE KNOWN FACTS IN THE SCIENCE COMMUNITY:

The earth changes axis by several degrees, changing orbit to become closer or further away from the sun (See more on Milankovich cycles) over time.

Six major volcanic eruptions between 1800 and 1962 occurred during precisely the same years when there were reversals in the correlation between sunspot activity and climate. That revelation provided a further insight into how sunspots affect climate.  (See more here)  Further strengthening the sunspots theory (sunspots & earths temperature) to changing the earths temperature. Sensitivity of climate to the effects of solar irradiance is about 27% higher than its sensitivity to forcing by greenhouse gases.  Speaking of greenhouse gasses, water vapour & clouds contribute 70% to 80%, and CO2 contributes 10% to 20% of the greenhouse effect. (greenhouse gasses chart).  Lets get some more of those hydrogen cars out there that produce water emissions though to help with global warming =)  brillant idea, eh?  Intergalatic Cosmic Ray - ICR, not something widely dicussed, even in the video, but appears to have grounded data to influenece opinion as well (ICR theory here).  and last but not least, planets in our Solar System are all warming up, not just earth. (mars warmer) (pluto warmer) (neptune warmer) all in the same time frame that our planet has seen increase in temperatures.  HUMANS ARE TO BLAME THOUGH, do not clear yourself of guilt just yet =)

I am not promoting blatant pollution of our planet.  I just do not like that global warming is being used as the catalyst for envriomental change.  Deceit is deceit and not welcomed, no matter the good it 'might' eventually bring.  Want to clean the enviroment up? GOOD!  but get use to the earth and its cycle of weather for being just that, a recurring pattern over time that repeats.  Wash, rinse, repeat!  It gets warmer, and boom its gets colder.  Nothing to freak out over.  Want to live a green life, do it... our envrioment and future generations will thank you for it... get off the Al Gore band wagon, you enviromentalist freaks!

1) Milankovich cycles are cycles in the Earth's orbit that influence the amount of solar radiation striking different parts of the Earth at different times of year.  Three variables of the Earth’s orbit—eccentricity, obliquity, and precession—affect global climate. Changes in eccentricity (the amount the orbit diverges from a perfect circle) vary the distance of Earth from the Sun. Changes in obliquity (tilt of Earth’s axis) vary the strength of the seasons. Precession (wobble in Earth’s axis) varies the timing of the seasons.  varying the timing of the seasons eh?  I wonder if longer or shorter winters could have anything to do with climate change? http://www.amnh.org/education/resources/rfl/web/essaybooks/earth/p_milankovitch.html  This is not enough to be the sole cause, but is a factor in contributing

2) During the last 2 billion years the Earth's climate has alternated between a frigid "Ice House", like today's world, and a steaming "Hot House", like the world of the dinosaurs.  BUT man caused todays .05-1.5 degree change, lets get real people!!  Im thinking maybe there is a "psy·cho·log·i·cal" reason for the need in "believing" we are so significant in the change of our enviroment.  Maybe thats why the world is so quick to grab a hold of this man made global warming 'theory'... just a thought =)

http://www.scotese.com/images/globaltemp.jpg  <<<look at this chart of temperature cycles from past to present... you will see the earth has warmed up previously, WAY beyond the one degree change we are experiencing now and without the presence of technology or industry...

3) 70-90 years oscillations in global mean temperature are correlated with corresponding oscillations in solar activity. Whereas the solar influence is obvious like the Maunder minimum in the 1600s when very few sunspots occurred and Europes "mini-ice age" is striking. (think they touch on this in the video below)  Wow!  So the big glowing thing in the sky, the sun, that 'burns' our skin if out too long, might contribute to warming?  hhmmm, who would of thought, that something that is 6,000 degrees Celsius at the COOLEST part of the surface (Thats 202800 degrees Fahrenheit) would have a profound effect on our climate?  Certainly thats the reason the Equator is warmer, because it is ever so minutely closer to the sun than the rest of the world.  None of these scientist who believe so will get a noble peace prize ;)

some would say there is anomalies in the sun spot research, in that there are 'moments' in time where the earth does not change with the sun spot increase/decrease.  This study explains those differences to actually help further support the suns direct correlation with earths temperature changes.
