Astronauts condemn NASA’s global warming endorsement

Pixel, your statements about CO2 show how little you understand this topic. I'd be curious to know why you think this way. Denying the science does not make it go away. You can attack those that provide the data, but it doesn't change the facts.
You do realize that there is such a thing as too much greenhouse gas, right? That's what's happening.

Breath-taking climate denial nonsense, this time aimed at NASA | Bad Astronomy | Discover Magazine

Look Pixel, you're an interesting fellow with talent in many areas, but climate science is something that you have a skewed view of. You can call me foolish all you want, but it won't make you right.

Again, I see the backfire effect taking over. I only engage you and provide links here so that others can see how you're not providing the right information. Sadly, what works against my information is that there is a distrust of mainstream science, even though that mistrust is misplaced.
 
then we should maybe ban dihydrogen monoxide! it is the most abundant GHG. it kills many people a day!
Dihydrogen Monoxide Research Division - dihydrogen monoxide
info

Each year, Dihydrogen Monoxide is a known causative component in many thousands of deaths and is a major contributor to millions upon millions of dollars in damage to property and the environment. Some of the known perils of Dihydrogen Monoxide are:

  • Death due to accidental inhalation of DHMO, even in small quantities.
  • Prolonged exposure to solid DHMO causes severe tissue damage.
  • Excessive ingestion produces a number of unpleasant though not typically life-threatening side-effects.
  • DHMO is a major component of acid rain.
  • Gaseous DHMO can cause severe burns.
  • Contributes to soil erosion.
  • Leads to corrosion and oxidation of many metals.
  • Contamination of electrical systems often causes short-circuits.
  • Exposure decreases effectiveness of automobile brakes.
  • Found in biopsies of pre-cancerous tumors and lesions.
  • Given to vicious dogs involved in recent deadly attacks.
  • Often associated with killer cyclones in the U.S. Midwest and elsewhere, and in hurricanes including deadly storms in Florida, New Orleans and other areas of the southeastern U.S.
  • Thermal variations in DHMO are a suspected contributor to the El Nino weather effect.
 
better tax the crap outta DHMO! that stuff is EVERYWHERE! it is probably why the moon and mars look the way they do! our planet could be next! we are doomed!
 
i am quite certain our only chance to survive DHMO is to install a global world government. look at a map, this planet is covered with that stuff, its in the sky too! :eek:
 
My God, I found DMHO in my very own bathroom! Thanks to you Pixel, I now know danger I and my family have been exposed to. Thanks for the heads up!

Glad I could help!
I checked with our local water department and discovered our city water tower is FULL of it.... yet, there is no mention of it in the annual water analysis tho. hmmmm....

Considering how much of it there is, i agree only a global govt could possibly deal with this.
There is little point in The US banning DHMO if the chinese are using it for everything from making soup, to washing the car.

Insidious stuff used in

cult rituals
by both the KKK and the NAACP during rallies and marches,
by the clientele at a number of homosexual bath houses in New York City and San Francisco

SoCal city falls victim to Internet hoax, considers banning items made with water
Associated Press

ALISO VIEJO, Calif. - City officials were so concerned about the potentially dangerous properties of dihydrogen monoxide that they considered banning foam cups after they learned the chemical was used in their production.

Then they learned that dihydrogen monoxide - H2O for short - is the scientific term for water.

"It's embarrassing," said City Manager David J. Norman. "We had a paralegal who did bad research."

The paralegal apparently fell victim to one of the many official looking Web sites that have been put up by pranksters to describe dihydrogen monoxide as "an odorless, tasteless chemical" that can be deadly if accidentally inhaled.

As a result, the City Council of this Orange County suburb had been scheduled to vote next week on a proposed law that would have banned the use of foam containers at city-sponsored events. Among the reasons given for the ban were that they were made with a substance that could "threaten human health and safety."

and before you all panic, the same goes for CO2. it is a natural, necessary, life giving trace gas needed on this planet. we really should be trying to create more of it to get it up around 500 - 700 ppm.
 
A big GREEN grin is in order when you find out about the 97% :D
The Embarrassing Facts: 97% of Climate Scientists Equals Only 75 Anonymous Persons Who Answered Online Survey​

The small number of climate scientists actually supporting the Al Gore/IPCC claims of catastrophic global warming and the actual AGW "predictions" has always been a major embarrassment. As a result, the left/liberal/greens have been forced to fabricate bogus support that can't stand up to any form of scrutiny.​
First, it was the claim that 2,500 IPCC-related scientists agreed with the 2007 IPCC report. Soon afer it was discovered that the actual number of scientists who actually agreed with the report contents was only 25.​
Next, when the 2,500 shrunk to 25, a couple of University of Illinois researchers conjured up a 2-minute online, anonymous survey that they hoped would deliver some big numbers to crow about. They solicited 10,257 earth scientists and only 77 chose to answer the online survey (yes, only 77). 75 of those "climate scientists" agreed with the survey's two questions (yes, only 2 questions).​
Voila, the infamous and widely publicized "97%" of climate scientists (75 divided by 77) who thought man was the cause of global warming turned out to be a numeric joke.​
As a side note, in order to assure an initial high survey percentage, the two researchers did not ask major segments of the scientific world to participate. Those would be the segments that were known to be critical of the AGW theory, including: solar scientists, space scientists, cosmologists, physicists, meteorologists and astronomers.​

before global climate disruption we had climate change , before that global warming, before that it was global cooling... and along the way we had ozone depletion, acid rain, acidification of the oceans, and now they say a mild winter is extreme weather. There is absolutely no science coming from Angelos camp of corrupt scientists.

I'm starting to think that maybe I should go for the nom de plume of muddywaters; but I have some global warming and other threats to life on Earth things to get off my chest -- and in the most unscientific of ways. The mention of NASA and Ozone depletion had me thinking. For the sake of reducing our use of a lot of antropogenic chemicals starting with the letter "C", science had us dump our favourite aerosol propellants and Freon in exchange for other less harmful ones. This was done in order to reduce the effects that mankind was having on the Ozone layer(s), yet, according to Wiki, the hole is still growing. My instinct (remember this is a paranormal forum) says these chemicals may destroy ozone -- but what depletes it is ... space rocketry. Yes, I think NASA and other nations and private corporations have been punching holes in the atmosphere -- unfettered -- since 1959 and the hole has been more noticeable since they themselves started measuring it -- that the two must be correlated. The more they send satellites etc. up to study it the more it grows...the observer effect, perhaps.

Glacier melts and global warming. This is less scientific than it is historic, and it speaks to the lack of past evidence of increasing sea levels with a warming northern Atlantic. Eric-the-Red. Behorned manslaughterer. Exiled from Norway and then asked nicely to leave Iceland, took his family and followers on a voyage of exploration to [re]discover Greenland. They set up a few settlements that lasted a few generations on the west-side of Greenland. Farming, fishing and trade with their Icelandic relatives kept them going for some time. One of the factors resulting in the collapse of the communities and their leaving Greenland was an increase in sea ice. Apparently, according to reports I've read, you cannot visit these sites very easily today as they are iced-in -- all year round. Just sayin'.

Maybe these (we) global warming skeptics can be called "Aglobal" Warmingers or Global "Awarmingers" and you'd cut us more slack Angel?
 
None of us here are climate scientists, right? The vast majority of climate scientists agree that human beings have had an effect on the climate.
If you're interested in the actual science, free of political BS, please go to this site: RealClimate

They are the experts.

Where's there science that backs this up? Just saying it doesn't make it so. It's frustrating to see stuff like this from people that are otherwise intelligent. Where are you getting this information? I've asked before but you always just ignore the question.
 
there is lots of science out there proving the benefits AND necessity of CO2. i think it might be easier for you to SEE the difference in a very simple experiment. btw- you would not be here if not for CO2.
 
maybe you should provide some of your CO2 research that proves CO2 is harmful. maybe check with those 77 scientists. lol.
don't bother citing the IPCC.
 
You realize that we're talking about a much bigger scale when it comes to the Earth - you know this, c'mon. It's sad that you're so blinded by your dislike of Al Gore that you ignore the actual reality.

Read this, by someone taht actually understands the subject:
RealClimate: The CO2 problem in 6 easy steps

There are even relevant references.

It'll be hard for you, but you can do it. Learn about this issue before you make grandiose (and incorrect) statements about how more CO2 is better. I know you think you've done a lot of research on this topic and you think you're right, but when your sources are outdated or simply incorrect, you fall short.
