More Global Warming FUEL.....

[Tom523]

im pretty sure the climate has had its ups and down throughout the centuries....one persons lifetime cannot reflect that i dont think

History has shown that the earth goes through warming and cooling trends. We are currently in a warming trend. This is all natural. I don't believe mankind is competent enough to cause a change of this magnitude. Some Environmentalist have been radical in their approach to do many things such as attacking fishing vessels and downright terrorism. I believe that the scientists that sent those emails could be just as passionate and manipulate data to achieve their goals. If they are found to be falsifying data it will set environmental groups back a great deal. They will lose the attention of the people that have been listening to them.

I don't think we have the ability to cause or stop global warming....mother nature is in the catbird seat here......we can probably speed it up or slow it down a bit....I do remember in my lifetime when smog was a lot bigger problem than it seems to be today so we have improved air quality....or so it seems anyway... without some of the changes that were put in place over the years just imagine trying to live in las angelas today.

Seems the biggest part of the problem is that this whole thing has become waaay to politisized. This results in folks who have no real understanding of the data to jump to conclusions based on little to no data. It will be interesting to see what comes out of the investigations of improper actions. In the mean time, this piece summarizes some of the climategate stuff: http://factcheck.org/2009/12/climategate/

Andrew...........Using a site sponsored by the Annenburg foundation is as bad as me using FOX NEW for everything.

Come on.......pick another source to legitimize your post......

BUT I do agree it is way too political, and the decisions being made on both sides are being made for political reasons.......WAY TOO MUCH of that garbage.

Here are all the emails..........scanned and categorized.

I have a CRAZY friend on another site that has spent MANY hours tearing these apart and footnoting what they mean.

LOTS of stuff will be coming out with regards to this........and the stuff FactCheck.org is spewing about tree rings, is NOT factual.

I agree, it will be interesting to see what all comes of this when the dust settles. As far as factcheck, FOX news has used them as a source and calls them a non-partisian group. Does that make FOX untrustable too?

Andrew:
Thanks for the links about factcheck.org. They had some good reading material on there about global warming.

I found this on the web just a few minutes ago and figured I'd post a link to this story.

Evidently the ice is breaking up around the South Pole.
