Why is this information left out of the "Global warming" discussion?

http://www2.sunysuffolk.edu/mandias/lia/little_ice_age.html - agricultural patterns caused by climate change starting around 1200 AD.

http://www.archaeology.org/online/features/greenland/ - History of the last days of the Vikings in Greenland around 1400 AD

http://www.ncpa.org/pub/st/st279/st279a.html - a report about climate change between 1300 - 1850 AD

http://www.geotimes.org/feb04/NN_Mesopotamian.html - possible impact of climate change on Mesopotamia 6500 BC

Now I am not saying we Humans do not impact our environment. However I never see information like this presented with the "Global warming theory".

They say the debate is over, but history seems to stand behind the notion that Climate is not Static and is not or is minimally impacted by human endeavors.

Am I wrong? If so history is wrong... Can you disprove natural history?

Where I live we are allowed to mix cans, plastic bottles, paper and carton in the same recycling bags. When the collection comes everything gets thrown in together. Including the newspapers that have been collected seperately in the provided recycling boxes,
Then I caught a conversation on Freecycle where i basically found out that the 'recycled' rubbish is being burnt at a waste-to-energy plant 40 minutes drive away.
Should it not be in breech of the Trade Description Act to call it recycling whilst at the best it could be considered convertion?

I find it inconvenient when you have to search hard for a place to put your bottle or can.

like, say a windmill generates electricity, and you use 1% of that energy to power a box fan to put in front of the windmill. if electricity is generated with motion, it seems it would be a very simple matter to make a device that generates its own power, but generates a surplus of power, in which the leftover power is used by cities etc. why isn't this principle considered a practical solution?

I live in a very small community (so small you MUST go through the city office for everything, electric, water, trash) and I am wondering what is the best way to get the city to start a recycling program?

Skeptics seem to like it because this guy is the proported "father of climatology", or something like that, and is skeptical of man-made global warming.

My analogy for that is that Isaac Newton was the father of physics, but he may well have been skeptical of Einstein's theory of relativity, had it been presented to him. Not a perfect analogy, but this guy is 87 years old and a lot of the most convincing climate science has been done in the last decade.

In addition to Bryson providing zero support of his skepticism, there's this:

Bryson didn't see Al Gore's movie about global warming, "An Inconvenient Truth."

"Don't make me throw up," he said. "It is not science. It is not true."

Very scientific of him - he's drawing conclusions about a film he never saw (which experts have said is very accurate, by the way).

Is this the best skeptics can do?

I am just wondering if bio-diesel just makes more sense as a long term alternative energy solution than ethanal. Does it make more sense to turn corn into biodiesel than ethanal? We all know the critisisms of corn-based ethanal.

pump CO2 in the air like depends on it... would the earth warm up or go in a deep freeze?

If you believe CO2 warms the climate then block the sun or even just block part of the sun.

If you believe the sun warms the climate then why listen to some politician, turned inventor, turned envirofreak, turned prophet?

Is anyone aware of this stuff?

Did you know that it's everywhere and none of the world governments are doing anything about it.

There are even events where it falls from the sky into our water sources.

What do we do about it?????

I have heard that NASA was conducting research on power plants that make hybrid batteries and they have found that there is a 1 mile dead zone around the power plant because of the nickel produced in some batteries.

Carbondioxide is soluble in water. Hence its percentage in atmophere can be depleted due to rain and moreover,it is absorbed by plants during photosynthesis. Other gases like methane produced due to decomposition of organic matter and producing greenhouse effect is more responsible.for global warming. I donot understand why there is much hype about carbondioxide.

I've removed the bulb in my electric doorbell to reduce my carbon footprint. It still works but you can't find it at night. I wonder how much difference it will make when all of London is lit up until the small hours?
