Do you make your shit up as you go along?Quote from fhl:
Either you can engage in political spin and groupthink, doused with hyperbole, or you can just examine the facts. I can tell which one you're in to.![]()
For a more thorough investigation of the facts, here's a link that is a start.
http://townhall.com/columnists/MarkWHendrickson/2009/05/25/a_closer_look_at_climate_change
A few salient facts include:
The vice chair of the ipcc thinks that the global warming scare is baloney.
A member of the ipcc review panel says that there is NO evidence of a link between temp and gases like co2.
The ipcc is 2500 scientists, many of which don't even agree with the findings (as noted above, the vice chair), but a skeptics group has over 31000 scientists who have signed, that DO agree.
Rule 3 of IPCC procedures states: âDocuments should involve both peer review by experts and review by governments.â In other words, <b>it's a political document</b>, as <s>many of us</s> republicans already knew.
Quote from bigdavediode:
So to summarize so far:
There was no ice in Greenland 1000 years ago.
Okay there was ice, but nobody lived there.
All the ice is on water.
Okay, some ice is on land, but probably not much.
Climate change is not happening because a single member of the IPCC says that it isn't, plus one "reviewer" (btw anyone can be a reviewer.
Okay, even if there is increasing Co2 the plants will take care of it because deforestation isn't happening.
And even if the antarctic ice melts there will just be more polar precipitation, even though the antarctic is classified as a desert due to low precipitation.

Okay guys,
Allow me some time to find tables how ice / water density changes with temperature and the necessary physics formulae.
Some geophysics data like the oceans surface, etc should be readily available in the internet, but I need your help to find out how much ice is below and how much ice is above the sea level. The total ice on earth is 25 000 000 km³ (6 000 000 mi³ or 1.8% of all water reserves).
I am pretty sure that when we do this little excercise we will be able to prove that the sea level will not rise at all and maybe will even drop.
If someone was good at physics in school (I was not) then give me a hand.
How is your head bigdavediode?

If this is the extent of your scientific argument, then I think you may wish to sit this one out.
