Re: Global Warming Opens Up Antarctic Waterways
Question:
The USA cuts 100% of its CO2 emissions tomorrow....what would that do to the worlds "out of control CO2 levels".
Ah....once you figure that out, you understand the game.

Global Warming Opens Up Antarctic Waterways
The following article may be of some interest to some.
http://www.geocraft.com/WVFossils/stomata.html
It opines that warming occurs first followed by a rise in a number of greenhouse gases, water vapor, CO2 etc. Not the reverse.
It also shows that CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere have been as high as 1400ppm in the past during the carboniferous periods (so named because plant growth was very high - naturally turning CO2 into carbon -as in trees).
The article and links show that statements that the earth is experiencing the highest CO2 levels are just not correct and that man-made increases are basically noise in a much greater natural cycle.
That said, I'm a big supporter of minimizing energy use and conservation but am concerned that there is an awful lot of hot air (pun intended) being generated which is leading to wrong-headed policies by politicians.

 Well, you have a funny way of ignoring them for the amount of input you have had here.

An interesting article from 2000, that's 14 years ago, by an unknown group / person called 'geocraft. com'. Possibly Monte Hieb who is a prolific writer for anti climate change proponents. He's a mining engineer of course employed by the West Virginian Office Of Miners Health and Safety and Training. And what do you know, he's never published ANY any scientific papers. From what I'm googling he's opposed to 'peer reviews' and refuses to submit any work he does, not really a good start, if it was by him.
Well, it's clearly a well written piece. I can't check the credentials of the person putting it all together because it's not there. creates a difficulty for me.  and it's clearly a page from someone or some people who rejected in 2000 the orthodoxy at the time (yes, they refer to the common view) so they know this is not common views.
It certainly contradicts the data of Ice Core scientists. Also lots of cutting and pasting from as many sources he can muster. Seems a bit like this thread.
This is when 'credentials' are so important. He just lacks them and so does this piece.

You really should spend less time trying to discredit anyone that disagrees with your views and more time trying to gain a balanced perspective of this rather complex issue.

I'm laughing that this thread still exists.

Re: Global Warming Opens Up Antarctic Waterways
I started looking at the plant stomata data a few years ago after some geophysicist friends shared their concerns of using CO2 in ice as definitive indications of prehistoric concentrations.
To many variables to be reliable in their opinion.
Plant stomata seemed to provide a more consistent record.
I'm not trying to change anyone's opinion here (which is highly polarized) but simply sharing that we need more congruency in test results - they are currently far apart.

That is why international cooperation is needed. The Montreal Protocol helped to stabilize the ozone layer through the reduction of CFCs.
Cooperation between Canada and the US reduced acid rain.

Are you the same Rustic that asked me to explain why the Maldives weren't sinking? To review "Chasing Ice"? To explain my version of "massive" as applied to glacial retreat and it's detrimental effect on climate change? What my climate change credentials are? And even perhaps encouragement to provide a take on the Antarctic ice sheet paper/link that was put up?
Because if you weren't, I have you confused with someone else.

That was done successfully because it was a fixable problem with proven science. Unlike GW, CC, MMGW or MMCC regardless.

But, back on track. I'm on lunch and about to start rowing with the other slaves. Are you suggesting that pollution is good for AGW because it produces cooling aerosols or are you suggesting it's bad because it produces warming CO2?
