Earth Sciences & Geology - February 2007

The evidence seems overwhelming. They say that a panel of 25 scientists are 90% confident that GW is to blame on humans. However, we must look between the lines. It is standard in studies to use a 95% confidence interval, this study uses a 90% CI. This shows that this study is not credible. What most likely happened is they used a 95% CI, the data was not statistacally significant, and they did not get their desired outcome. Therefore they could not conclude that global warming is man made. If they decreased the CI, it is then likely they employed other methods such as eliminating unwanted data, or substituting data, in order to get the desired results. It would be OK to use a 90% CI if the results at 95% CI are also published. It is common practice, though, to use only a 95%CI. Also, the panel of scientists were politically appointed, so it is likely they have a political agenda. Global warming may very well be man made, but this study does not concur with that hypothesis.

I ask after reading several things about archeological digs they often refer to the ground level for said times (like what was the groung level in Rome 400 years ago is many feet below the surface now) is where they need to reach to find interesting artifacts. How does the Earth gain so much soil the past surface level is constantly buried?

If it was round, then it would just roll away! I mean, this is common sense. Plus all the people in the "Southern Hemisphere" would fall off the bottom.

The government has created this "round earth" lie to hide the fact that millions of innocent people have fallen off the edge!

Some of the "natural" wonders include:

1.) Grand Canyon 2.) Great Barrier Reef
3.) Harbor Of Rio de Janeiro 4.) Mount Everest
5.) Polar Aurora 6.) Paracutin Volcano
7.) Victoria Falls

Maybe it's one of these. Or, maybe you think that some other magnificant natural wonder deserves a shot at the top seven. Let me here your choice... and maybe tell us why you think your pick deserves recognition. It may be just because you think it is "cool". Whatever you pick is your choice...
