do you think al gore and his minions have noticed the temperatures around the earth lately?

Question

oh and by the way, wasn't it mr. greenjeans himself not thirty years ago telling us we were all going to freeze to death due to global cooling?

methinks he might want to consider a sequel to his farce of a movie...

while your editorial was very nice, i am not against "ecology". i am against environmental socialism which is what this is all about. and "climate scientists" and "climate experts" from around the world and who are distinguished members in their fields disagree with gore, his science, and his methods. the only problem is, gore won't debate them even though challenged to them publicly. there are many, many factors that determine temperature and climate here on earth and until there is real proof and genuine consensus among those scientists who are best suited to make that determination. "ecologists" simply are not...

the edit above is to frounter.

Answer 1

For the last 30 years, Algore has been telling us we only have 10 years to act.

You won't get away with your statement. Believers will claim that you are confusing climate with weather.

All cold is just weather, while all warming is climate. Weather can be measured, warming can only be predicted. No one can predict the weather, be we know for sure what the climate will be 100 years from now.

Don't forget the the southern hemisphere had the coldest winter in almost 200 years last winter.

Answer 2

I think people miss the point entirely when just looking on the surface of a field like ecology.

Major tenants of ecology? Everything is related, and you can never change just one thing without affecting something else.

Looking at this years weather in the winter and saying, as you are, "it's cold. there is not such thing as global warming" is more than a bit of a superficial assessment of the situation.

We know the effects of certain compounds on the environment, certain things are quantifiable and verifiable. Obviously we can't know with 100% certainty what the future will hold, and the effects of climate change will be unpredictable and possibly catastrophic for some areas of the earth.

I can't quite understand how people can be so willfully ignorant of the entire field of ecology and the environment, as you seem to be, and attempt to offer an opinion. It isn't something you can intuitively know about.

Environmental study is a vast scientific field. What I also don't understand is, that given proof of past environmental disasters (there are plenty, if you are not aware of any just search that phrase) and the possibility of being able to change harmful practices, why are people like you so stubborn about believing people in the field of ecology?

Answer 3

Actually, I read a report where they said that, while 2007 is on track "globally" to be cooler than 2006, it is on track to be the "warmest year" if you consider only the temperature over "land masses."

So yes, they have noticed what temperatures are doing (falling or staying static) but they are now cherry-picking the data to try and maintain the farce of "catastrophic global warming."

Never mind these "catastrophes" only exist in rather unreliable (also known as WRONG) computer models.

Answer 4

Methinks you disagree with Gore's politics, so you automatically disagree with his environmental message.
Why shoot the messenger? The preponderance of the world's scientific community agree with Gore's assessments.
Global warming is a cyclical event that evolves over tens of thousands of years. Man's "industrial revolution" has only accelerated the process so that man, plants and animals don't have time to adapt to climate changes that are coming. The current temperatures have nothing to do with the long-term impact of how global warming will affect our grandchildren and great-grandchildren. . -RKO- 12/18/07

Answer 5

If the messenger is Al Gore then why shoot the messenger? Maybe it’s because he’s the main manure spreader.

Answer 6

Um, have you noticed that it's winter in the northern hemisphere?

No, Gore had nothing to do with the 1 or 2 scientific papers which claimed we would eventually trigger an ice age if we didn't reduce our SO2 emissions (which we did).
