Uncle Karl


spacechicken170am: Yes I pick and choose my science that's called an opinion.

No, an opinion is when I say "Earl Grey is the greatest kind of tea", as opposed to someone saying "The earth is flat". The former is an opinion, the latter is what an idiot says.


opinion- a belief or judgment that rests on grounds insufficient to produce complete certainty.

So you believe every single scientific theory? No you don't. You pick and choose your thoeries. What makes you pick certain theories and reject others? Possibly you believe that some theories are better supported than others. That would be an opinion. I believe gravity is better supported therefore I believe the theory of gravity. I do not beleive however that man made global warming is better supported, therefore I reject that theory.

There is NO global warming.

Warming would require the earth be able to sustain an increase in average atmospheric temperature and this it cannot do. The earth's atmosphere is NOT a closed system and is regulated automatically by two methods. The first is electrostatics.

Electrostatics involve the charge effects of the gasses and magnetospheric influence over distribution and flow of such positive, neutral and negatively charged masses as form within the turbulence and moisture cycles of the planet.

It is this electrostatic effect that keeps the ozone from closing over the south pole. Ozone has 3 oxigen and has a clear energy charge which is repelled by the southern magnetic charge of the planetary magnetic effect. That's right... we do the depletion and the planet chooses where to make the hole. Don't worry about ozone tho, that's the least you have to worry about.


The second system is coupled directly to gravitational pull. Sadly this is one that is a "lossy" system in that once we LOOSE the damned air we don't really get it back.
The solar wind provides oxigen, nitrogen and even a little carbon that we can sloooowly, ever so slowly recoup. The trouble is that the earth's atmosphere is NOT a closed system and the models the "global warmists" use assume it is.

If you heat up the earth's atmosphere it EXPANDS AND COOLS AUTOMATICALLY THROUGH THERMODYNAMIC PRESSURE. That's right, you burn a rainforrest and the atmosphere gets BIGGER. It CAN get big enough to expand beyond the direct reach of gravity's power to keep it in and it is automatically buffered by the ocean which contains hydrogen and oxigen. As we lose atmosphere we lose ocean and don't detect a change in atmospheric mass over a period of years.

The models used by the "global warmists" do not take THERMODYNAMICS into account, they treat ALL increases in energy as localized temperature. Additionally they were developed to EXPLAIN datasets that were inherently inaccurate to begin with.

You've heard of Murphy's Law I assume. You may also have heard of "chaos theory" and the underlaying theory of a limitation of predictability. This underlaying limitation on mathematical predictability when applied to the real world produced a basal point of thermodynamic linearity. When something is so wholy unpredictable as to appear random in meteorlogical modeling it is because it has dropped through the lower side of the math of prediction and simply negated itself through thermodynamic processes.

THIS mathematical line is the one we have to worry about, THIS is the danger indicator. When weather becomes less predictable in local and global patterns it means we are CHANGING the ammount of energy we are putting into the system OR the system itself is changing the ammount of energy it is dispersing off the earth and is the underlaying problem with global and regional weather prediction.

When we add energy into the earth's gaseous shell we produce a larger variation to the local thermodynamics than is produced by sun and moon alone. This larger variation increases the local effect on the local and regional weather patterns. If we change the local input over an entire region we will change the regional and continental patterns.

Right now we are introducing thermodynamic energy into almost every portion of the globe in excess of the "natural" state input. This input leads ahead of temperature increases and lags behind temperature decreases.

The net effect of the desire to have a dry, moderately warm and safe home produces thermodynamic energy that is released into the atmosphere, whether by power generation for heating or power generation for cooling, all are net gains of energy to the atmosphere but they are NOT "heat energy" they are actual physical force.

When you produce a blast of hot air outside it will INVARIABLY rise from the ground level, thus producing a mechanical action while it raises through the atmsophere until it has lost enough pressure to become stabilized. Like a spice blow from a Shai-halud it will rise until it escapes if it is large and powerful enough.

How large is powerful enough? We don't know. We know that there is at some level a mathematical point at which a blast of thermodynamic energy could POSSIBLY eject a portion of the atmosphere from the earth but we don't understand enough about our atmosphere to even begin to predict what happens above the clouds. NASA admits this!

We're not talking nuclear or even thermonuclear levels, we're not talking massive volcanic levels of thermodynamic heat. We're talking mathematicaly HUGE ammounts of input.

Scientists have often conjectured that the only way dinosaurs could have existed would be if the earth had more atmosphere. Well, it did at one point and geologists have proven the data. The interesting thing is that at the time the earth had more WATER and thus with the larger ammount of water and atmosphere it had MORE GRAVITY. This not including the moon being more distant...

The moon puts energy, thermodynamic energy, into the systems of the earth by moving the lagrange 0 around inside our planet about it's mechanical axis kneeding the core like a giant dough hook. The moon has slowly gotten further away from the earth by a tiny ammount, this tiny ammount probably is in response to the reduction in planetary gravity from loss of atmosphere and oceanic ballast. If say we gained oh, what, 5% increase in planetary mass due to collection of solar wind in our magnetosphere or a "soft" commetary collision the moon might start coming back in to increase the energy of the planet until the atmosphere boils off enough mass to let it go back out again.

Betcha you didn't get taught THAT one in your diploma mill school!

These models they use to try to prove "global warming" also don't take plate tectonics into account. If say half the earth was water and half was surface and it wobbled a lot it would produce a great deal more thermodynamic energy on it's own and produce much more drastic regional climactic systems.

If say the earth's plates were ALL separate and the ocean was directly ballasting the heat into an even output across all regions of the planet because 99%+ of the volcanic activity was occuring deep we'd have a completely different and much more stable thermodynamic system that would be much more likely to be predicted accurately.

Additionally we have OCEAN CURRENTS which to some extent can hide portions of seashore or expose other surfaces due to local mechanical effects from the flow of the tides.

So we have mechanical induction energy input from the moon, we have a varying planetary surface mechanic, we have solar input of photonic and electrostatics as well as mass induction through the nitrogen, oxegen and carbon in the solar wind. We have forrest fires, variations in gravity due to variations in the thickness of the atmosphere... all sorts of fun things.

the "global warming" models take NONE of these MASSIVE thermodynamic energy sources into account... and they also don't deal with the mathematics AS thermodynamics, they deal with them as "heat energy" which simply does not exist.

So we have a bunch of unemployed politically active halfwits with fake degrees producing piles of work from synthesized datasets through faulty mathematics telling us that we're gonna have to do this that and the other to reduce our danger to the planet.

Uh, hey "planetologists"... human bodies are the #2 generator of heat on the planet.

Sun, Bodyheat, geological, electrostatics, gravitational, industrial. That's the order.

Industrial is at the BOTTOM of the list.

Really just trying to show that alot of this seems to be reactionary and emotional based.

Yes, the histrionics displayed by some trying to show that global warming is a threat are not much help. But the fact of the matter is that it is happening, and that it is having a negative impact today. Along the present course in thirty to fifty years things will be much worse as up to 100 million people could be displaced from their homes in low lying coastal areas.

What is frustrating about this subject is that a 5% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions per decade would take us off our current course towards disaster. Increasing automotive gas millage, practicing carbon dioxide sequestration at power plants, and developing alternative energy sources will over time end the accellerated rate at which carbon dioxide is being added to the atmosphere... and the earth's natural processes will eventually take care of it on its own.

B. Humans are responsible for the increase of carbon monoxide.
But how can B. be true if A. is true? Simple. We have killed those crazy CO2 eating things known as trees and plants. I'm sure some of you took science in middle school, right? I think they even taught that little nugget of wisdom right along side creationism in Kansas, folks.

You can't convince stupid people of things that they do not want to believe. Your best bet is to do what you can do to help regardless of whether or not your neighbors are doing anything.

fact- The earth is in a warming trend.

fact- This trend is exceeding natural cyclical rates and values.

fact- almost 50% of Americans believe the earth is only 6000 years old... those people obviously don't put much faith in the evil scientists and their 'global warming'

So this all made up by liberals to get elected?

Hmm strange I guess China wants the democrats in power too:


Global warming could wreak havoc in China

Global warming could have a major effect on the health of the Chinese people and the country's agriculture, according to a National Assessment Report on Climate Change.

Temperatures could rise 1.3-2.1 degrees by 2020.

The report, China's first authoritative and comprehensive review compiled by multiple departments and experts over four years, was released in Beijing yesterday by the Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST), the China Meteorological Administration (CMA) and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).

The report is a study of global warming and its influence, and recommendations on the protection of society and the economy.

"The report will serve as the country's scientific and technical reference in policy making and international co-operation," said Li Xueyong, vice-minister of MOST.

"It also shows China's attention to the global issue and its resolve to work together with the international community."

A synopsis of 2050 shows that China's population would exceed 1.5 billion with a gross domestic product per capita of US$10,000. Consumption of primary energy would stay between 3.9 billion to 4.9 billion tons of coal equivalent.

According to the report, the rise in temperatures would worsen the water shortage problem in North China, which already is serious.

It warned heavy rainfall in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, could trigger landslides or mudflows in the area of Three Gorges Dam.

The change could also affect with an increase in heart and blood diseases, malaria and dengue fever.

420 billion watts of HEAT energy, online 24 hours per day... some of it is actually running higher output, like say joggers or non-industrialized sweatshop workers running at over 700 watts output.

I'd like to go on record with my prediction that in ten years there will be no discernable sea level rise.

I'm further predicting that in a few years the global warming hoaxters will concoct an excuse for being wrong and will say that the sea level increase has only been delayed and is about to hit with a vengeance.

And lastly I predict that even though my predictions will all come true, I will not be hailed as the Nostradamus of our time and will not be given a nobel prize nor a standing ovation at the UN prior to the speech I will not be giving before the general assembly.

It always makes me smile that dumb truck drivers from Bumfark, Ohio seem to be convinced that they know more about climate than climate scientists, who actually study these things in detail for years and years and years.

The scientific consensus is overwhelmingly in unison over man-made global warming. If there is dissent, it's over the precise rapidity at which the danger they all predict will occur.

You all know fark all about climate science. Listen to the people who do, and they are all saying that man-made pollution has and will continue to cause the earth to heat up, with consequent effects on global climate.

Perhaps this is the problem.

GW is highly political as it,

1) Gives instant fame and fortune to those peddling it.

2) Used to polarize people in order to demonize those who disagree with "saving the planet" BS.

3) Used as a vehicle to get GW saviors elected to public service (re: #2)

So to try to distance its political aspects is ridiculous as it is what fuels GW's existance. The pamphlet points this out in spades.

Apologies for the tome, but I think this needs to be said:

Putting asside the political urinating contest that's been going on for a while now..

Those who deny global warming are correct in saying that there is no conclusive proof that the warming trend we are experiencing isn't a natural occurrence. For all intents and purposes it is a natural occurrence. However, the rate at which it's happening seems to be accellerated. Checking ice cores from the antarctic, and geologic strata, shows that there has been a cycle of cold and hot that the planet has gone through over the past several hundred million years.

In that same token, the rate at which the temperatures fluctuate has been fairly constant up until this cycle. The only real change has been that the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere has increased much quicker than in previous cycles.

I can't say definitively that there is a causal relation, but there is at the very least a circumstantial or coincidental one.

As for that pretty chart Corvus posted from umich.edu, it is VERY misleading. Especially when you read the legend. It shows CO2 concentrations from the Antarctic ice sheet for historical numbers, then switches to the simple ice sheet for the past few hundred years. That in itself is flawed science. Using two different sources from different locations and determining a causal relation. But what really makes it misleading is the readings from Hawaii. CO2 concentrations are going to be much higher near an active volcano.

Overall, there is no denying that the global temperature is rising, however there is also no conclusive proof that it is caused by human interference. The only way to conclusively prove a relationship would be to bring atmosphereic CO2 levels down by 70%, and keep them there, and then measure global temperatures.

If the rate at which temperature increase has slowed (or even reversed) that, to me, would be solid evidence that human produced CO2 in the atmosphere does have an effect on global temperatures.

But now the realist in me kicks in, and realizes that there is no way that will EVER happen. At least not until humanity is wiped from the planet and the environment can get back to it's natural state.
