One of the reasons that the debate between Christy and Emanuel is informative and interesting is that they both understand the subject. Maybe it's more useful to discuss the opinions of informed scientists than to speculate with our own random non-expert assertions?Valerie wrote:It seems you already gave in to temptation- and said it-Bootstrap wrote: I'm tempted to say that we need a thread where only people who have passed a basic comprehension test can participate.

You make a wide jump that I do not comprehend and understand. I make statements that bring doubt to your positions. if your points were strong enough, they could stand against the doubt. Science is all about doubting the established concepts. It seems you want propaganda more than exploration.
Feel free to start any thread you want. I feel comfortable posting things that bring doubt into a theory I think is not strong enough to stand against the doubt.

Just because you are paranoid, doesn't mean they are not after you.

Re: Global warming/climate change discussion
I browsed through them both, but in order to develop an opinion I would need to dig back through the sources they both cite. I wasn't real favorably impressed by the rebuttals criticism of the original paper's reliance on sources written in Russian, but it will take quite a bit of time to fact-check their assertion that the original paper relies on "facts" that have since been disproven.Bootstrap wrote:Did anyone read both of these?

If you just take temperature alone, then it is easy to make this appear as critical. The reality is a higher ambient temperature will increase water vapor, which will increase plant life, which will increase co2 conversion.PeterG wrote:This is a good question.Robert wrote:Last winter we had -0F degrees most the winter.

One thing that really surprised many scientists is that plant life has increased dramatically over the past 40 years. Even with the deforestation, planet wide, there has been in increase. One possible, and likely, reason is plants have more to eat. They eat co2. More plant life means more food for us since we eat plants. Better for the poor in this world who are struggling to feed their families.
10-20 degrees over 100 years allows for any migratory change or move to more agreeable climates of animals and plants. Forests burn down and are completely regrown in 20-40 years. 100 years is not a big issue.

Re: Global warming/climate change discussion
Peter, could we have some guidance? What are we discussing? We seem to be moving past discussing the Christy / Emanuel papers, but I don't know what we have moved on to. I think we need some direction so we don't just fall back into the kind of discussion we have on this topic in other threads.
