Gobal Warming?

[Pete_G]

I forget the actual number, but almost all the top 10 warmest winters on record have occured in the past 15 or so years.

The cause can be debated, whether something is happening or not is fairly tough to argue.

Actually it likes 45 of the 50 warmest years on record have been in the last 50 years.

Not very difficult to believe when you stop an consider that they have only been keeping records for about 100 years.

According to my log, fish showed up about a week and a half early at my Spring spots last year.

considering that the median number years for NOAA and predecessor data tracking is about 59 years (oldest is 120), that doesn't strike me as nearly enough data to generalize a meaningful trend over the course of a millenia or two or a million.

but to the chattering shrill IDIOTS in this crowd, it's always bush's fault anyways, right?

This isn't difficult to grasp... The data gathered today can tell us what conditions were like many thousands even millions of years ago. Its kinda like we know somethings about dinosaurs although they lived millions of years ago. Climatologists gather data about the climate from long ago, not just the temp it was in 1900.

Its not bushes fault... however, 5 years ago his VP said something along the lines of conservation of fossil fuels is a personal choice and its basically unamerican to suggest people conserve energy. Things must have really changed in the last five years. Guess it was so far in the future that they couldn't predict anything about the way things would be in 2006-7.

I missed any posts where anyone said it was bush's faults - so... keep chattering

When the UN sponsored (I threw that in so everyone can cry about the evil UN) intergovernmental panel on climate change comes out next week in will say that its more than 90% likely that global warming since 1950 has been driven mainly by the buildup of carbon dioxide and other heat trapping gases.

read a few of the earlier posts more carefully.
