Solar rays drive global warming

And loans to poor, minority households are the reasons for the current credit meltdown.

And the Earth is 6000 years old.

LOL.

Great clip and comments. kmcolo points to an utter inability to comprehend. Hilarious in this context how he has been the one to point out cognitive dissonance where it does not exist.

No, KM, I just heard from the ever erudite Mr. Mike Moore that Health Care is to blame for this. Boy that guy gets his teeth into a bone he doesn't let go.

Wrong, pieces of gas-guzzling, inefficient engineering are still screwing up the world

But I'm sure you'll turn a blind eye to reason

Even Palin supports clean energy initiatives LOL

Nothing wrong with clean energy. There are real pollutants in vehicle exhaust, CO2 just isn't one of them.

BTW, if man is the cause of climate change, does that mean there would be no climate change without man? Does that mean before the invention of the SUV that the climate never changed?

You cannot breathe/drink pure CO2 without dying. How many times do you need to be told this. This is why nature has plants which recycle it back to oxygen.

Apparently you missed my link so here it is again.

It is called smog. A form of toxic fog. Fog is part of climate. It never existed before until man came and it's huge and it c...

You cannot breath pure H2) without dying either. You can't breath pure nitrogen without dying either. You cannot breath pure helium without dying either. Fact is, breathing pure oxygen for very long can be harmful and even fatal as well. So this whole "you can't breath pure CO2" argument to make it out as something bad is laughable.

H2) = H2O

You cannot breath pure H2) without dying either. You can't breath pure
nitrogen without dying either. You cannot breath pure helium without
dying either. Fact is, breathing pure oxygen for very long can be
harmful and even fatal as well. So this whole "you can't breath pure
CO2" argument to make it out as something bad is laughable.

So by your logic, if your SUV was pumping helium/nitrogen into the air you breathe, and you know too much of it is bad. Do you think it's ok to keep pumping it into the air?

Now THAT is laughable

would you care to explain to us the mechanism of how cosmic rays actually affect the climate? because it's been explained a zillion times how carbon dioxide absorbs IR and therefore more carbon dioxide can't help but mean more heat into the atmosphere. i don't know why that strikes you guys as unthinkable, but i assume that you must have a real solid mechanism as to what exactly cosmic rays do that drives the climate if you think that's the solution,

i hope it's not that old "nucleation of water droplets" canard, though. i mean, a few decades ago the whole world was agog at the concept of seeding clouds to nucleate water droplets and make it rain, you can see how far that got. funny, t...

Actually there is evidence that cosmic rays do help with cloud nucleation (tested in a laboratory cloud chamber experiment). A major hurdle to this theory though is the fact that since the 1950s there has been no trend in the cosmic ray data yet there have been changes in global temperatures and in ozone. And there seems to be no association with measured cloudiness and cosmic rays either. But none of this will stop this theory since it is being propelled by cognitive dissonance (which the past few months have not only highlighted but also bolded and italicized).

BTW, n2, the ozone hole and global warming are two different issues.

10-3-2008 4:33 PM

If the South Pole gets an ozone-hole maximum in the coming weeks, it will strengthen the case for cosmic rays, and endorse a Modern Warming driven by solar variations rather than human-emitted CO2.

And this is a set-up as the ozone hole max is always in the austral spring, i.e. in the coming weeks.
