Great. How many, and are they indicative of global temperatures?satalites have been recording earth temperatures since the 1970's
Mount Washington does not tell us what the global temperature mean is.Urbanization is a town of just over 700 people spread out over 50 square miles more than 30 miles away. Urbanization isn't much of an issue for Mount Washington.
My point was that 1, CO2 absorbs a narrow band of infrared.Other than pointing out the use of "little" you have going here... CO2 is in the freakin atmosphere absorbing the Infrared!!!
Your response is that its band is bigger than that of visible light. So what? Visible light is not very wide to begin with, and is a poor metric to judge size with. Furthermore, the sun does not emit very much of the band that CO2 absorbs. Very little of it, in fact. CO2 is not the primary driver of temperature change
Well, if any of the examples from an Inconvenient Truth had actual scientific support for it, I would have many compelling reasons. But the world of politics is often ...detached... from reality.You probably never will...
Mildly ironicBlatent scare tactic...
Now where exactly did I say I was against that? But that is not the solution to global warming. If you believe people who say that switching to fluorescent light bulbs or hybrids will prevent global warming by an appreciable amount, I have a bridge to sell you. The only solution to the global warming scenario is to return to 1840 level populations, or develop some new source of energy that can be produced cheaply.changing your light bulbs and driving a fuel effienct car arn't going to cost anyone trillions of dollers.
The "solutions" offered now are a waste of time and resources that can be applied better elsewhere.
I am not against environmental action, where did you get this impression?Most of the problems are due to environmental factors like desertification, aquifer collapse and disease is mostly due to bush meat.
Its amusing to see how you made the leap from This person is does not believe in global warming, to This person is against the environment.then freakin help them...stop giving all that money to US agriculture and help the people get jobs by helping them use thier environment in a sustainable way.
