For example, take around Indonesia, the burning of forests created an ash that <i>cooled</i> the area, thus masking any heating of that area. Thats one of, literally, millions of interconnected climatic effects.<br /><br />It&#39;s why all these predictive models are utter bunk, and consistently fail to be accurate - there are simply too many inputs, all interacting in ways we don&#39;t always know.<br /><br />As for humans affecting the climate, the biggest change to Earths atmosphere was by the humble bacteria evolving photosynthesis, we&#39;re a lot more capable.<br /><br />We know there is some GW, we know some of it is man-made, bt what the IPCC and Greens are peddling is out-and-out bullshit, as such I don&#39;t blame people being unconvinced - the pro-GW haven&#39;t shown their argument to be compelling yet.Obsidianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15683974531982922955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4654665819486290671.post-41993403799254128462009-09-16T19:04:21.732+01:002009-09-16T19:04:21.732+01:00All this global warming palava, or more precisely this alleged man made global warming palava is a constant quandary for me.<br />If the immutable forces of nature have managed from year zip up until the industrial age and there have been extreme swings in global temperature and what is upon us is solely or largely due to our interference by burning squished dinosaur juice and compressed plants, we should be able to locate some fairly repeatable experiments or even hypothetical scenarios.<br />I&#39;m mostly unconvinced, mostly because groups from either side of the debate seem all to keen to hijack the genuine phenomenon of global climate change for there own political ends, however I do feel that we should be ridding ourselves of the dependency of imported energy sources from fossil fuels, mostly because they are finite and probably now either at peak oil or fast approaching it and also it means the western governments have to &quot;play ball&quot; with some rather dubious regimes, just because they have the good fortune to geographically located above said reserves.<br />This is starting to get a bit tl;dr so I shall bid you good day.Jayce Kayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11546864700028185848noreply@blogger.com
