Study: Man-Made Global Warming First Became Evident In the Mid 20th Century
TapeCutter writes: In 1958 the US National Academies of Science (NAS) warned the US government that they had detected a robust Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW) signal, they have not changed their mind on that claim for 57 years. Like the modern day Al Gore, Frank Capra publicized the possible effects in a popular documentary (video). Today we have news of a study from Melbourne University claiming the effects of AGW first became evident in the mid 20th century. In other words, the NAS could not have picked up the signal much earlier than they actually did. The fact that the last serious scientific objection to AGW (as a theory) was overcome in the mid 20th century by improving spectrometers in heat seeking missile was a remarkable coincidence, NAS took full advantage of that opportunity.
At this point, it is not a theorem. It is a fact since the scientists have voted. It is a law.
It's also a law that Rush Limbaugh fans must be easy to spot even when they post anonymously.

rather than feasible, cheap plans like geo-engineering.
I don't know what's happening. My models don't quite predict what's going on. I thought it had something to do with some gas but I'm not sure. None the less I know how to fix it.
What could possibly go wrong.
