"With the July 2007 release of the revised statement by the American Association of Petroleum Geologists, no remaining scientific body of national or international standing is known to reject the basic findings of human influence on recent climate." - American Quaternary Association Why did the AAPG change their position from disagreement with human-caused GW to agreement? Because the previous position was "not supported by a significant number of our members and prospective members." Hmmm, even petroleum geologists accept the human causes of global warming, as does every other scientific organization of standing in the entire world. Maybe we should reject what every scientific organization says, and instead believe a handful of people with an ax to grind and almost zero knowledge of the subject at hand. hmmm.gif

Know what they call someone who tries to predict the weather around here? Either a newcomer or a fool!!! lol.gif lol.gif But you know in your heart that you are throwing away too much trash (waste!), eating way too much non-essential food (waste!) and driving way too fast, using up way too much gas (waste!) What about "waste not, want not"??? hockeygrin.gif

guns don't watch your back... our dogs have shown us the way out when we were lost...AND kept us warm... for us its ALWAYS a two dog night!

Now, we were talking about what again? "Warming?" I should have most of my winter firewood cut and split. Alas, all the logs I want to buck up are still under a couple of feet of snow. huh.gif strange.gif uhh.gif

Global warming nuthin', I'm starting to think that summer warming is a myth.

Evidently not where you were.

Thanks for this informative addition to your original post. I get it now - it's cold where Dave is, so GW is BS. I missed it the first time. This is impeccable logic, reminiscant of that of infants. Mommy is not visible now. Mommy does not exist now. I look forward to your updates to this thread during record heat waves. I've noticed a certain fondness among some for the novelist Chrichton's take on GW - here's a take from a Spokane-based novelist on the difference between weather and climate.

Somewhere where this thing called "spring" occurs, generally followed by the Great Warming called "summer".

Does anyone know of a site that lists the real, raw data on the global temps? I'd like to find a chart-like page with annual or monthly data that extends from current data back 100 years. All I seem to be finding are hunks of newspaper text with a single, potentially biased comparison.

I'm no scientist, but just a quick search yielded NOAA sites on paleoclimatology and a general GW page with such data - http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/paleo/globalwarming/paleodata.html for actual data going back 140 years, and paleoclimatological data going back 2,000 years. Also a chart of average mean global temperatures going back to 1880 is at http://lwf.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/climate/globtemp.html, based on this overall data. If you rut around deeper in the search pages you may find additional hard data. My sense is we're swimming with data, and the means to measuring global temps has shifted to satellites. What you make of the data, well, that's science, and the conclusions you draw are your own.
