Well I am talking about how the scientists feel so the second point is relevent. you see there are scientists who belive global wamring is not man made but the sun heating up they claim it's a great blast of heat before the sun starts to die ( which will take 6 million years).
Truth is though I saw your list and you could probably make a list twice that large with scientists who belive in globl warming.
I am not, and have never been, of the impression the Global Warming is soley a man made thing. I believe the universe and everything in it sorts itself out ever million years or so. Perhaps we human being has something to do with it but I still believe that it is more a natural process rather than a man made thing.
"there's only one way to win a war: shout, shout, and shout again!" - The Duke of Wellington ((Blackadder - Stephen Fry))
After observing many quantifiable facts and well thought-out viewpoints my most likely scenario is that what is going on is natural global warming but enhanced by industrial processes.
We shall se what will happen...
for some odd reason, while the word "Ganya" was still just a thought-dropping in my head, I thought it'd only be four letters. But apparently it's five. yep.
White Tiger said this in post #7 : Me! I'm a Global Warming Skeptic!
I am not, and have never been, of the impression the Global Warming is soley a man made thing. I believe the universe and everything in it sorts itself out ever million years or so.
In that case should we be bringing pressure on governments all over the world to abandon their attempts to reduce carbon emissions?

Perhaps we human being has something to do with it but I still believe that it is more a natural process rather than a man made thing.
Are governments and the experts that advice them, and who agree that it is our pollution that is responsible for the rise in temperature, and who agree that targets to cut carbon emissions are necessary, lying to us?
Was the 4th IPCC report, who's conclusion was that it is our carbon emissions that are causing the present global warming, wrong?
quote:
Who wrote the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report?
The report has around 130 lead authors, including meteorologists and climatologists from across the world.
The three reports will bring together the work of hundreds of scientists. More than 800 scientists have contributed, and more than 450 lead authors from more than 130 countries have been involved. At least 2,500 expert reviewers have looked over, and commented on, the draft versions.
The IPCC is an intergovernmental body, and its reports are reviewed by governments as well as experts. They were given the opportunity to comment on drafts of the report, and the lead authors will have taken into account their contributions when putting together the final version.
Wether you belive it or not think about this our governments get told things we don't find out about ( arguement was used RE WMD in Iraq if I recall correctly) anyway recently in the last 3 - 5 years governments around the world have made plans to reduce emmsions etc etc even the Bush administartion has started to make noises on the issue. Now maybe just maybe this is because world leaders have seen reports that may have hard eveidence that we need to cut levels sooner rather than later.
Today has been a prime example the EU have made commitments to cut emmsions by 20% by2013 and then a further 30% if the US, India and China cut ther emmiosns by at least 20%
Well despite your headlines Edward in the UK Feb 07 warmest Feb on record March 07 on course to the warmest on record. Warmest Dec on record in 06, warmest summer on record 06 prior to that 05 prior to that 04 you seeiung a trend here or is it just me, incidntally guess what the forecast is for this summer hottest ever. August 06 tornadoes in Birmingham yes Tornadoes tore through the UK's second biggest city causing millions of pounds worth of damge before that smaller twisters were spotted in Scotland's central belt luckily due to the location damage was minimal, flooding in the UK is at an all time high as well the Scottish government has tripled it flood protection budget and I am sure the English government is going the same way.
So despite the headlines those in the met office are saying otherwise and thoise that are living it know otherwise.
