    I love this dichotomy:
    "The draft report, which is still being completed, projects that the current administration’s climate policy would result in the emission of 9.2 billion tons of greenhouse gases in 2020, a 19 percent increase from 7.7 billion tons in 2000."

    "The White House Council on Environmental Quality has been coordinating the draft report. A spokeswoman, Kristen Hellmer, said it “will show that the president’s portfolio of actions and his financial commitment to addressing climate change are working. And the president is always looking at ways to address our energy security and environmental needs.â€"

    Did I mention that the report is overdue by a year?

    Is this in spite of the promise Bush made at the last State of the Union address stating that gasoline usage would be reduced by 20% in 10 years?

    Oh, I see here what's slowing down progress: 'Doing more than slowing the growth rate of greenhouse gas emissions, which remains the administration’s stated goal, will be decided “as the science justifies,” ... '

    Who is this IPCC anyway, and what do they know about mankind's contribution to global warming? We all know Exxon is the real expert on climate truthiness.

    Can someone please point me to some evidence, hard evidence, that man is indeed effecting the weather and such?

    I'd really be interested in seeing it, as I haven't actually read any good data.

    Please, don't point me to some hippy crap or some obviously biased source..

    Thanks.

    I suppose you consider The E.P.A. to be "hippy crap".

    Key quote from above link: "Human activities are changing the composition of Earth's atmosphere. Increasing levels of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere since pre-industrial times are well-documented and understood."

    Its the climate, not the weather. (Although there is some evidence out there that we have some impact on the weather as well, for example, in the highly populated East coast, it has been shown that it is more likely to rain on a Saturday than a Wednesday, but I digress....)

    As for the evidence of man's contribution to climate change... come on. It's a pretty common topic in the news. Pick just about any news source EXCEPT Fox and pay attention for a few days.

    On second thought... a quick check on foxnews.com reveals that even they are reporting that global warming is anthropogenic:

    The recent report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has confirmed that human induced global warming is occurring, said Karla Dutton, director of the Alaska program for Defenders of Wildlife.

    "There's no way around it _ in order to conserve polar bear habitat in the long term, we must act immediately to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions, the principal cause of global warming and this Arctic meltdown," she said.

    Certainly....

    http://www.ipcc.ch/SPM2feb07.pdf

    I'm sure once you've completed a full PhD course on meteorology, geology and climatology you'll be as qualified as the world experts to dissect and discuss the statistics and facts of the literature used to arrive at the concensus of these learned men.



    Or you could listen to a bunch of right wing H2 drivers who just don't wanna belive that the factory belching filth into the sky could actually do anything bad.

    GW is just following a natural course.. I feel its just another way to waste Billions & billions of dollars to study the effects. And God help the Scientists that stand up and go against the flow, as they are concidered nut-cases There are plenty of left wing scientist that agree GW is following natural courses Man just adds 0.25% to the mix so yes its a rather low percentage .... :mellow:

    The scientific community is not agreed on this one either. if you believe in tested models than i am assuming you are a believer in supply-side economics and tax cuts too?

    While there is not 100% agreement on this the huge (something like 95% of learned experts) are in agreement on 'this one'. I'm sure you are very aware that there are always outliers in any issue and scientific ones are no exception...medicine is a fine example where there are plenty of well done research papers on a subject with one or two (often sponsored by drug companies) that show a different result. We certainly don't stop treating our patients with the therapy that the weight of scientific evidence supports b/c of those one or two outliers.

    Likewise the global warming issue. The agreement is huge. "Proof" is impossible in something like this, or would, take centuries to do so...and by then irreperable damage would be done, important science and technologic development delayed....To continue the health care metaphor, the patient would die or become extremely ill due to our ignoring the best available evidence and the weight of scientific opinion.

    More importantly by ignoring the evidence and the opinions of professionals we not only place our future in jeopardy due to climate change but our continued "business as usual" approach to economics and environmental issues places us directly on the path of collapse that was exposed in so many cultures prior to ours. Learn from history. Rampant growth and destruction of limited natural resources has destroyed nearly every major civilization before ours, what makes us think we are so special and above natures laws? It is time for us to move forward and learn to live in symbiosis with nature for there we will truely prosper in the long term. As biologist Lynn Margulis put it, "Life did not take over the planet by combat, but by networking."

    The Sky is falling, The Sky is falling, The Sky is falling, run run hide your selves park your evil cars shut down the factories until a cure can be found!!!! :rolleyes:

    I believed the weather man on the news that it was going to rain thurs, fri & sat.
    Guess what it only rained on sat in the afternoon....

    What evidence? oh your talking about facts and figures that a flawed person has stated to be true? Man is flawed he makes mistakes. This is a garanteed money maker GW, Scare everyone and they will give Billions to research it.... even though we do our part by adding a mear 0.25% compaired to natures 90% ;)

    Anyone that opposes GW is wrong Professionals have stated such...... even if those who oppose the facts are also professionals from the same field, they are labled nuts / outcasts..

    Tsk tsk tsk... Thee you are using your frame again. I'm sorry I put more faith into science than you do your bible and political yamerings of the ultra-wealthy who intend to do nothing that will hamper their lifestyle. Again, I suggest you go educate yourself in biology, chemistry, physics, and anthropology and this time, leave one side of your frame off so you can assimilate new information and not immediately reject it based on your current views.

    There is a reason they call it the precautionary principle. If done right we have nothing to lose and a lot to gain. If ignored we have everything to lose and no more to gain than if we had done it right.

    A bit heavy on the drama and a bit light on any substance there. The sky is falling, albeit very slowly, based upon all the facts and information available to us today.

    While I absolutely agree that man is flawed and that it's entirely possible that 200 years from now we'll be able to look back and giggle at the errors our scientists made it's just as possible that they're right and that there is something we can do to slow global warming and make for a better, cleaner future for our children's children's children.

    There's simply no downside to reducing the amount of filth we belch into the atmosphere...at the very least the immediate impact would be a reduction of environmentally triggered illnesses such as asthma and cleaner clearer skies over cities like Denver that, to this day, still have "Yellow", "Green", and "Red" days based upon how much smog and haze cover the city...it's a disgusting site to drive into Denver from the mountains and the city is covered by a halo of yellow smog.

    I wanna repeat this...I'm no tree-hugger. I've never donated money or time to any environmental organization. I've never strapped myself to a redwood. I'm far far from an extremist on environmental issues and I'm a scientist and a skeptic by nature and career. But this issue of global warming is a no-brainer IMO. Change is necessary, we have the ablity and technology to clean up emissions from cars, factories and almost all sectors...the only thing delaying that is cost and pressure from lobbiests to prevent the gov't from forcing those changes.

    It's run by climate scientists. I think it was Alric on this forum who brought it to my attention.

    You mean these individuals?: Dr. Daniel Schrag, Claude Allegre, Dr. Patrick Michaels, Dr. Fred Singer, Professor Bob Carter, the geologists of James Cook University in Australia, Richard Lindzen, Alfred P. Sloan,... (Hmm, wonder if they all drive Hummers - do they make a left hand drive for our friends down under?; surely those evil oil companies and fat cat lobbyists are paying them off!!)

    Who is to question the expert opinions of Tom Cruise, Cameron Diaz, Julia Roberts, Leonardo Dicaprio, many who even have high school degrees. I heard even Al Gore has an advanced degree in journalism.

    Guess I'll start tithing my paychecks to Carbonfund.org. You should too. Maybe the government will do that for me on my next 1040.

    Well, some of those you list certainly do have oil connections -- Lindzen, Michaels, and Singer all have extensive connections with Exxon-funded groups. See pages 34-35 of

    Alfred P. Sloan has been dead since 1966.

    You can read more about your list of supporters here.

    Inhofe's Last Stand

    For what it's worth I read a book called "Snowball Earth" that details Daniel Schrag and Paul Hoffman's hypothesis of SnowBall Earth, of which most geoscientists believe to be false, and found it quite intruiging. In fact, Daniel's work on cap carbonates was what first peaked my interest in climatology (which I still know very little about but chemistry classes as helping lol)
