You would think the the rails would play a major role in helping reduce emissions.

And you were presented with data that explained that solar variability was responsible for the temperature variations over the last 50 years, and there was a possibility that the world could experience a dangerous cooling episode in the near future, and all your theories were wrong, what would you do?

A) Continue with the deception.

B) Attempt to predict how bad things could be in the future.

In Potsdam this week 15 Noble Laureates and nearly 100 other scientists gathered to draw attention to global climate change issues. These are some of the most respected people in their fields and included Mario Molina -- the first scientist to prove that chlorofluorocarbons were putting holes in the ozone.

So what does it take for the disbelievers of climate change and those flat out denying its existence to face reality?

Can those saying climate change is false, assembly such a prestigious group?

Are they saying this many Nobel Laureates are wrong?

Seeing as so many sceptics seem so sure that "An inconvenirnt truth" is flawed, why has the public education system not been taken to court for showing it, as in the UK?

In a sceptics' position, that would be the responsible thing to do wouldn't it?

Several AGW doubters have once again raised the issue that surface temperature measurement stations are sometimes located in urban heat island areas. We've discussed this several times before, but apparently it needs to be discussed again.

"The evidence points to a warming of about 0.6-0.8°C over the past century and a neglible effect on this from the [urban heat islands]. While some 'contrarians' appear determined not to accept this finding, the evidence they cite appears thin indeed compared with the published research"

Further discussions here:

http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v432/n7015/abs/432290a.html

The fact that satellite measurements agree with surface measurements, and that there's no reason for nearby sources to provide steadily increasing amounts of heat should be enough to dismiss this claim.

i have to write two papers on global warming and i need sources for my political stand point... it's politicians vs. environmentalists so i need like books, newspaper articles, magazine articles anything actually physical that i can go get from the library maybe or look up and print but they can't be "internet sources" so they have to be in a physical book magazine newspaper or the sort. but what i'm looking for is the political view on global warming... any sources you guys can find would be very helpful... please let me know by either book and author or a link that has some good ones.

thanks so much again!

So many of you seem so sure that "An inconvenirnt truth" is so flawed, why not put your money where your mouths are and take it to court?

That would be the responsible thing to do wouldn't it? Unless you don't care that your children are getting exposed to it?

It seems to me that back before Regan, in the Goldwater era and earlier, that American conservatives were hard-headed realists, who got their facts straight and proposed solutions for problems in a realistic way, even if those solutions required unpopular sacrifices. Since that time, various crazy ideas have made their way into the conservative mindset, but it seems to me that the looniest of all is the worldwide global warming conspiracy. It seems to me that this conspiracy is so improbable that belief in it is a new level of craziness in the American conservative movement. If a majority of conservatives can become so detached from reality, how can the movement sustain itself, and make progress on things that are really important?

Meaning, should undeveloped countries also have a role in reducing carbon emission? I mean with their lack of financial capability and such, should the international community push for these nations to help? Or should the burden of fixing be with developed nations. This is all assuming that countries such as China, India, USA, and Australia oblige to reduce carbon emission

A british court has found '9 errors' in "An inconvenient truth"

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/education/7037671.stm

Why were all those hordes of sceptics with thier pulsating brains and gas spewing, moneyed cronies so slow to spot these inacuracies? Why did it fall to a school governor in England and his unknown backers to expose this conspiracy to decieve the public?

I've been asked to do a presentation in school about the effects of global warming, and some skeptics always ask me the following:

1) Earth's climate has been hotter in the past then it is now or any future projections, so why should we worry?

2) All this could be natural, what makes you think it is caused by humans?

3) Isn't global warming good? We'll see warmer temperatures, and crop yields will increase

I need to give a response to these questions, so please help. Thanks a lot =)

It was predicted in the great Iroquois texts that the spirits of the sun rest and awake just as the great bison- they are now as alive as the doe in spring, dancing many moons before they must rest. Why do you disgrace them with your "science," your carbon dioxide wickedness? How vain are you to say that we have interfered with the great cycles of our ancestral spirits?

No emissions, unlike even natural gas power plants. Japan has 8, tiny Switzerland has 6, how many in the US? All ancient and inefficient, like the ONE in California.
