The IPCC report represents the consensus of thousands of scientists, but to be an anthropogenic global warming doubter, you have to doubt this report's validity.

We often see AGW doubters invoke Lindzen or Christy or Tim Ball. Some new favorites are a Scafetta & West paper, and now Carl Wunsch.

This makes me wonder - what makes a person accept one scientist's conclusions while dismissing the conclusions of thousands of other scientists who are all in agreement? Does the principle 'two (or thousands of) heads are better than one' somehow not apply to science?

Live in huge enormous houses and drive big fancy cars that pollute and consume more energy in two months than the average American does in a year. I just find it hard to fathom that someone like Al Gore who pushes these strong ideas about AGW, pollutes and uses up so much energy that really is not necessary.

The solar cycle is the eleven-year cycle of the solar activity of the sun, first determined in 1843 by astronomer Heinrich Schwabe. Solar variations in output have been measured from satellites. Climate scientists are trying to determine how much the variations effect the temperature of Earth's atmosphere.

What do you think, and please provide a link or two if you have them.

I'm guessing that sometime late in 2010. Then we are going to hear more and more news about the end of the world, the Mayan Calendar, Nostradamus, and the Bible.

People will believe that there is substance to these stories just like they believe in the global warming stories.

Movies will be made showing us how the end of days will happen, books will be written, Discovery Channel, The History Channel, CNN, ABC, CBS, and NBC will all be running specials about the end of the world.

Politicians will be witting laws, raising taxes, and the public will demand to be saved even if it means giving up their freedoms.

This scare will overtake headlines moving "global warming" to the back pages.

I just wonder if anyone will even care about "warming" after 2012.

What are your thoughts?

Even scientists who believe in global warming are not happy about the exaggerated claims. Al Gore's movie had many of them. I see the same claims being repeated in answers here.

Hans von Storch and Carl Wunsch are trying to get scientists to be more responsible. What can you do to help cut the exaggeration?

....the average family compact car doing average annual mileage OR the average family (2 adults + 2 children) just breathing for a year? (We can leave digestive gases out of the equations!) I have seen a calculation showing that they produce about the same...2.5 tonnes. Is this right? (..and pretty scary when you look at the impact of global population growth, irrespective of what we do to reduce industrial emissions!) The carbon emissions of cars is easy because all new cars have it as part of their specifications...so many g/km and the 2.5 tonnes is about right. I get stuck in the bio-medical-mathematics for the breathing though! Thanks for you help.

I know that no one can say for sure where it will get hot or cold or dry up or whatever, but failing to plan is planning to fail. So assuming a warmer planet, where might be livable in 50 or 100 years?

For sure the coasts will flood. Someplace like Alaska could be good, but once all that perma-frost melts its going to be a mess. Plus they'll have black fly problems all year long.

How about someplace in the mountains? With a reliable water supply? What about food? What about electricity?

Some countries don't allow foreigners to buy real estate, so if that's an issue I happen to be American.

Check out any country, China, Russia, Mexico, Argentine, Canada, Iran, Iraq. I could go on and on and so can you.

Would they stop producing oil to save the planet? No!
Has any one of them been attacked for producing oil ? No!
Should we go ahead and produce oil whererver it is feasible so we can be independant of purchasing their oil? Yes!
