Mostly I'm trying to avoid all of the alarmists, such as the "celebrities" you referred us to on this poll! The amount of 'hot air' those people are putting out is creating its own problem. Actually, I am educating myself to understand the "theory" better, and the more I learn the more I am led to believe that it is utter "hogwash!' The IPCC sold the concept with a lie, the phony "hockey stick" temperature graph which purported to show that the 20th century was the hottest in a thousand years. Then Al Gore reinforced that lie with another lie, the CO2 vs. temperature graph purporting to show that increased CO2 in the past has caused increased atmospheric temperatures. LIE #1: The hockey stick graph is phony. When an independent scientist was finally able to obtain the algorithm that the IPCC's Dr. Michael Mann used to create the hockey stick, he discovered that virtually any input of data resulted in the hockey stick graph - the algorithm eliminated the two to three hundred years of the Medieval Warm period, when it was warmer than it is today, 800 to 1,000 years ago! How do you think the Vikings were able to settle Greenland, and why do you think they named it Greenland? Only today is the ice melting on Greenland to the point that they are discovering the Viking farms and villages built during the Medieval Warm Period! PHONY "HOCKEY STICK" GRAPH, so wrong that even the IPCC dropped it from its 2007 report! LIE # 2 is Al Gore's use of the CO2 vs. Temp. chart. In actuality, if you look closely at the chart, CO2 increases follow temperature increases rather than leading them! There have been a number of glacial periods throughout earth's history, and we are currently in an "interglacial period." CO2 'outgassing' occurs during interglacial periods as the oceans warm, much as the CO2 in a beer or Coke "outgasses" if you open one when it is warm! Note Dr. Roger Revelle's name on the interglacial outgassing chart. He is the eminent climate scientist from whom Gore learned that CO2 is increasing in our atmosphere. However Dr. Revelle was no alarmist, unlike Gore, and cautioned that we "look before we leap" before taking drastic steps. Gore attempted to have Revelle, his mentor and hero, declared incompetent and possibly senile in the years before his death because of this disagreement. Real principled guy, that Gore!
