The greenhouse effect is real: here’s why


CLEARING UP THE CLIMATE DEBATE: Bureau of Meteorology scientist Karl Braganza explains why we know the climate is changing, and what’s causing it.

The greenhouse effect is fundamental science

Is it getting hot in here?
A warming world is obviously the most profound piece of evidence.

Here in Australia, the decade ending in 2010 has easily been the warmest since record keeping began, and continues a trend of each decade being warmer than the previous, that extends back 70 years.



Record keeping goes back to 1900 only, not the hundreds of years that the soothsayers would have us believe.
And surely it would have been more constructive had those intrepid record keepers have taken into account the blizzard conditions in Northern Europe thoughout the last decade rather than leaving them out of the calculations which makes up the 'average' temperatures.

In short, we have a "catch 22", we're damned if we do & damned if we don't".




Well, then, the answer to Catch 22 is always the same : fly more bombing missions.
We should start bombing Indonesian abattoirs (shorter distance than the Middle East = smaller carbon footprint = win-win.  Wink)

PN, why do you consistently try to convince people that humans are causing things that have existed naturally since long before the first hominid ancestor evolved????

Yes, the Greenhouse Effect is real, and has been around for as long as life has existed on Earth (in fact it's the reason life DOES exist on Earth.)

The same thing applies to climate change....it's been happening for billions of years...

Humans didn't 'cause' the climate to change nor did we cause the Greenhouse Effect....

You might as well say gravity is caused by the obesity epidemic among children....


It's good to see you agree, Gizmo, that "the Greenhouse Effect is real".

So, in the spirit of co-operation, I will agree that "Climate Change has been around for Billions of years, long before humans arrived".

I will also agree that, "humans did not cause/originate Climate Change, nor the Greenhouse Effect".

However, humans have impacted the Environment of this planet, of that there is no doubt, the only arguement is how much & what are the likely effects on current & future generations of Humans & other species?

What these and the majority of scientists are saying, is that the human impact on this planets delicate Environment, is just sufficient enough (over time) to tip the natural balance away from what would have happened, but for our impact.

In doing so, our nudge has been like many humans, who eat & drink many things, which are ok in moderation, but many of us consume too much of these things that are normally ok and the end result is many of us become obese or acquire other diseases, such as Diabetes.

The end result is the quality of many peoples lives is not what it should be and many will die a premature death! And that's not even counting gravity?

So, what I'm doing is giving people the facts, so they can make up their minds, whether they want to continue business as usual and lose the quality of their life & of future generations AND die prematurely OR do they want to take proper mitigation measures, to try to stop what will happen to Humans, if the Climate Changes in the directions that we are nudging it to?

In other words Climate Change has some similarities to Obesity, in that it takes a long time to build up and while that is happening few recognise what is happening.

Then, one day, we wake up a realise we are fat and take action OR we don't realise & we don't wake up, we just die?

Is that what you want, for us & our children?

And yet obesity, like climate change, can have many causes.....not all of them due to human action....

There is still no empirical proof that the current changes in climate are anything other than natural, or that man made Co2 is involved...

Earth facing a mini-Ice Age 'within ten years' due to rare drop in sunspot activity

Mr Hill and his colleagues wouldn't discuss the effects of a quiet sun on temperature or global warming.

'If our predictions are true, we'll have a wonderful experiment that will determine whether the sun has any effect on global warming,' he said.
----

If they will not discuss it, then doesnt that do the normal AGW thing of any outcome remain climate change. They are leaving the door open to give us the details of their predictions after the event and say, see we were right. lol sad.

The effects of whatever is done now on climate change will not be seen in this lifetime.

So we get all the costs and no benefits?

Awesome

So, your solution to a once in history catch 22 of monumental proportions is, bomb the indonesian abattoirs?

And also no proof that what we do will have ANY affect whatsoever...

So we may be crippling the economic future of our children and grandchildren to 'provide a viable future' that would have existed anyway...

With your espoused attitude to issues, I have written on, it seems unlikely that you will take sufficient measures for incoming missiles (Economic problems), so you may struggle?

In terms of Climate Change, I think it is likely that there are  too many with thoughts like yours, Gizmo's, Soren's, Maqqa's, those in the US, China, etc.

So, the sort of mitigation necessary to try to ward off the worst effects of Climate Change are likely to be delayed too long, for any effective action to be attempted.

Therefore, the future for your children & mine and for future generations after them, is likely to be bleak!

Give it a break!

At any given point in time, we are the sum product of our heredity and our environment.


CRAP!

There's plenty of evidence, it's just that you don't want to look at it!
