Questions About Global Warming Climate Change
On my facts about global warming faq, a lot of people stop by and tell me what a moron I am for daring to be skeptical about the hysteria of man made global warming/climate change. I’m not sure what about man-made climate change nee global warming is factually apparent and indisputable, thereby making me a moron for not adhering to the cult of global warming hysteria.
There is an enormous nuclear reactor that does more to affect the climate than anything we will ever do. Ancient humans were smart enough to figure out that the giant fireball in the sky had a powerful influence. In fact, many civilizations worshiped it as a god. Now, our supposedly advanced civilization is too stupid to realize the giant fireball in the sky has a power that dwarfs us, and it even dwarfs our planet.
Studies show that the people who are least competent tend to be the people most confident in their abilities. Those who are most competent tend to feel as if they are not meeting their full potential. There are also sayings such as the more I learn, the more questions I have. In other words, the smartest guy in the room is the one that has a few questions. So I have a few questions about the validity of man made global warming. That would seem to indicate that I am the smart one here. The morons are the ones that are unquestionably confident in their views.

Questions about global warming/climate change
If global warming is real, is it provably caused by humans? What is the scientific method for indisputably proving that humans are the cause? What is the control group?
Is global warming provably bad? If global warming is real, and is caused by humans, can it be proven that this is somehow bad? More varieties of life thrives in warmer climates than in colder ones. This is why areas with seasonal climates are blooming with life in summer and much more barren in winter.
This is why animals migrate towards the equator in that hemisphere’s winter season. This is why the rain forest has more species of life than we can count, and the polar regions are fairly desolate. It seems to me that global warming is good for nearly all species of life. Its global cooling (what we were hysterical about in the 70s) that would be disastrous.
If humans can cause climate change, then what is the optimal average global temperature we should shoot for? if we have the ability to control the weather, why wouldn’t we aim for the optimal average global temperature?
Why is the baseline for measuring global warming a period of time between 1961-1990? Does that time period represent the optimal average global temperature?
How does one calculate an average global temperature? How is each data center weighted to calculate an average? Are all data centers weighted equally. What data points throughout the year are counted in calculating the average? Is it a quarterly measurement, daily, weekly, hourly? How does this compare to the frequency of past measurements?
Have the number of data centers changed over the course of time? How does adding a new data center affect the average? Are measurement techniques consistent?
Has the equipment used to take measurements changed? Newer measuring devices are more accurate than old ones. What is the margin of error?
Why do all solutions for global warming/climate change involve taxes, rationing, and government regulation? No proposed solutions seem consistent with advancement of society and technology. All seem directed towards regression.
Why is it that a few decades ago we were hysterical over cooling, then we were fearing warming, and now it is a more generic “climate change” that we’re supposed to be worried about? Why the lack of consistency in rhetoric?
We hear about CO2 as a major “greenhouse gas.” What about water vapor? Isn’t that a bigger contributor? If a proposed technology creates water vapor as an output instead of CO2, how is that an improvement?

If anyone here can give a coherent answer to all of these questions, I’m open to reducing, or even eliminating my skepticism.

On the level of ‘science’ that the global warming protagonists are using it would seem that all the talk about global warming has already stopped global warming and caused the global cooling we are now experiencing!
One of the real casualties of this exercise is the credability of science. “Nullius in Verba” was in my day the measure one took to be a scientist – don’t take anyone’s word for it – look at the facts.

But it makes me feel good to think I’m saving the planet! It makes me feel superior to know I am saving the earth and you’re not!
If global whatever ‘tards would just be honest about their motivation I wouldn’t despise them so much.

The sad part is years from now global warming will be reported as a big scam, buried in the tenth page of the online newspapers.
By then the fake scientists nurtured by more years of liberal education will have moved onto another unproven theory for fun, profit, and the proliferation of their agenda.
Roger Bacon and Isaac Newton would be so proud of our science today.

Actually, you will not get any coherent, actual scientific answers from AGW advocates since they don’t have any – it’s all scare-hype and ludicrous model predictions.
We’ve compiled a list of recent articles about the solutions and costs of government trying to control climate and energy. If more people knew the consequences of what is being proposed, there would be more demands that AGW proponents actually answer the questions you are asking. Article list here:

Was just checking out C3H, nice compilation of articles and news stories on the topic there Mr Editor Guy. I read a TON of news to prep for my posts but there’s stuff you found I’ve never even seen before.
Excellent work. Keep up the fight!

CO2 atmospheric consentration levels. (Msuna Loa)
1960 – 318ppmv = 0.000318%
2008 – 385ppmv = 0.000385%
total CO2 increase = 0.000065%
If you took a column of air 100 feet tall the thickness of the CO2 (if concentrated at the bottom) would be 0.462 inches. (today’s level)
It is inconcievable that this amount of DRY vapor could make any difference in the temperature of the volume when dispersed equally throughout.

“How is idea of using reflectors to protect ourselves against Hot Big Brother ..”
Sounds about as realistic as the idea in the 70′s to cover the Arctic surface with soot to absorb the sun’s energy and thus thwart a temporary cooling trend.
