Leading human-based causes of global climate

[avenirbyard]

Both Presidential Candidates Obama and McCain have emphasized the need for Energy Reform as we face climate change, a sinking economy, and rising fuel costs. In a country where 85% of energy demands are from fossil fuels (oil, coal and gas), coal and "clean coal" are making a rhetoric comeback this election. However, the burning of coal has proven one of the leading human-based causes of global climate change due to resulting carbon dioxide emissions, let alone a diversity of air pollutants.

There is no proof Global Warming is man made.

How do you explain the cooling of the last decade?

Is this the same NASA data that was debunked by a fourteen year-old?

I see it's not the Hockey Stick graph, but it sure looks like one :doh where regardless of the data inserted in the equation, you got the same results.

She replied: "No, actually, there has been cooling, if you take 1998 as your point of reference. If you take 2002 as your point of reference, then temperatures have plateaued. This is certainly not what you'd expect if carbon dioxide is driving temperature because carbon dioxide levels have been increasing but temperatures have actually been coming down over the last 10 years."

Duffy: "Is this a matter of any controversy?"

Marohasy: "Actually, no. The head of the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) has actually acknowledged it.

Same planet.
Difference science. One is the junk variety. Taking theory and calling it science when it is nothing more than propaganda. This is about as good science as Eugenics.
