Global warming is the normal precursor to an ice age?

[Matt J]

Actually, emerging research indicates warming temperatures may actually reduce the occurence of extreme weather events, and that solar activity may play a large role in weather anomolies.

Kurt posted a video showing that during one of the hottest 10 years in recorded history solar activity was at an all time low.

OK, all you Global Warming/Climate Change soothsayers. First of all, I don't know if there is really any "climate change" or not but I am firmly convience ther is cyclical weather change. What gives me such conviction? USAF weather school, four years getting and monitoring Rawindsonde data and observing the weather. Never once was "climate change" ever mentioned by our instructors, although climatology was taught and it was deemed to be cyclical in nature by all information available. Add to this, USAF flight school and USA flight school both which contained beau coup weather instruction and theory. Then there is flying all over the globe and observing weather and the land it affects. But then, in fairness, all this occurred before Al Gore so I guess it doesn't really count.

Interesting that the military considers climate change something worthy of study huh?

The Global Warming crowd sure are silent. That's OK Al Gore will be selling Global cooling in a few years, & the librals will be wanting to try you in Federal Court if you disagree.

How quick can you spot the same tired right wing talking point in these two posts?

Exactly. There's a lot of data out there, lots of different theories. The prevailing wisdom was that warming temperatures would continue unabated, until they stopped rising for a while. Sea levels were estimated to rise faster than they have based on current research. We've found that urban sprawl mucks with temperature data, glaciers that melt and those that grow, sun spots seem to play a role but nobody knows why...

Best not jump to any conclusions until we have a better understanding of things, don't you think?

To not study it would be stupid, to assume we understand it before we really do would be equally stupid.

Yep, I'm just gonna ride this one out. Why even start thinking about alternatives to fossil fuels. I mean we have what maybe 50-100 years of those left if we don't increase their use? It's funny to me that conservatives and nay sayers such as yourself are concerned that your grand kids will be paying down our national debt, but that's really not an issue if the planet is unliveable now is it?

:roll: Admit when you've lost the argument and move on.

I'm sorry, but your Fox News anchor attempt to win an argument by simply stating that you have, isn't going to work. Try again.
