maybe I missed the point. so you do agree that this global warming is the hypothesis?

So, if someone can prove that mass extinctions are not happening, droughts, early frosts are nothing to be afraid of, prolonged monsoons, more-than-usual heavy snowfalls are not hazardous to humans... the fears won't go away.

In short, if you can prove to the people of the world that the things we have now won't disappear tomorrow, then people won't be so fearful about some of stuff that are coming out of the environmental sciences.

That's it. People are less fearful of that which can be explained. A bit off topic, but that is exactly how so many various religions have developed their belief systems. Attempting to explain that which has no other explanation...or that which they do not have the knowledge to explain. The explanation, what ever it is, relieves the fear and anxiety.

im sorry.. I stopped reading your post right after this last sentence.

First: Where did I ever say Al Gore?

Second: in your first post in this thread you used the word "suggest". We both know that it doesn't mean "confirmed". That was all I was getting at. No need for the Al Gore rant. :)

Until something is confirmed for a FACT, I'll be shooting all of these down.

Who has ever said that correlation equals causation? Go back and read. Correlation indicates a positive or negative relationship between 2 variable. Very, very basic stuff.

You can attempt to shoot down whatever you choose. But you aren't successful when you use incorrect scientific terminology and try to push your expertise at the same time.

Graphs have lost all credibility since they cannot cover all the variabilities in a setting. CO2 is the lightweight of greenhouse gases, so I don't understand the insistence on it garnering sole focus. What about methane? What about weather warfare? Solar flares? There are so many variables but I have one thing that graphs do not--instinct. I KNOW beyond a shadow of any doubt that mankind is contributing in SOME way to global weather change, and my guts very rarely steer me wrong.

There you go. Graphs show nothing more than the graphed version of the variable data that is fed into the statistical program by the user.

Interesting you mention updating information.

Since the researchers that say the sky is falling due to GW aren't using recent years. They aren't "updating information". IOW, they are stuck on stupid.

That's why thousands of real scientists have broken ranks from the non-scientists that signed the original documents declaring that GW was dire and that it was a crisis.

Udate: more in the scientific community agree that the phenomenon of Global Warming is actual than disagree.

Read the definition again. It confirms what I was saying. And we are talking about the accepted scientific use of the term as concerning research and outcomes. Quite different from the use of the term in every day conversation.

i am not trying to use any scientific terminologies. you have that quarrel with other people, not me.

I am just saying "suggest" is not "confirmed" "is" "actually happening". I do not have the knowledge to come into the scientific terminologies.

As you say it the best - stats is what people feed into the program and have it out putted to them.

So I elect to exercise my doubt on the first post in this thread.

Thanks.

Nor was I replying to you. Your point is?

Right.

I also was saying you could show links to share the information you have on hand. Don't need to use them to obtain your information. :)

Again, I don't use links. Your suggestion for using them is moot. I cannot use a link to show information I obtained from another source.

Now I am confused - if you don't even use links, how are you able to read the articles that are posted to debate them?

You confuse easily, then. What you are referring to is not obtaining my information, but following a link to look at someone else's. Huge difference.

In the other thread you said "I don't use links to obtain information." Which one is it. I must be a pea-brained guy here, but yea..

Your words, not mine. "I do not use links to obtain information" is quite different than, "I do not use links to check information someone else has provided."

You are terribly argumentative today. Is there something on your mind?
