    Global warming means above the normal cycles. They did not say normal earth cycles are cause by man.

    Not if the author has actual data. Authors who go against a known field of study that don't actually have good data risk their careers, as they should.

    Look at it this way, there are a lot of non peer reviewed place to publish your data, yes no one has published in data that shows a different thing besides the increase in CO2* to cause the energy to be trapped.

    Where is this scientist who had there career ruined from being against global warming that also has good data to support another cause?

    *and other things.

    Taxes out how we pay for civilization.
    If we want wide scale action, then taxes will be part of it, if for nothing else then as an incentive.

    Taxes are not good or bad, no matter what people say. They are how we pay for things. We can discuss if the things we pay for have merit..sadly most people aren't really qualified to have the discussion.

    Man Made Clmiate Change AKA 'global warming'* is man made. That's what it mean in context. An increased in energy trapped in the lower atmosphere do you have more CO2 in the air.

    Are their 'pre-human'** cycles? yes. This is an impact outside those bounds.

    *AS a refresher the warming in global warming means an increase in energy. Personally I hate that name becasue it fails to show the whole picture. Hotter summers in some areas, wetter winters in others.

    ** I called them pre-human for brevity.

    I don't believe you at all.

    Yes, but then more and more data gets gathered and the scientific consensus shifts to support the data, exactly what HAS happened regarding climate change.
    We are on the 'a lot of data has been gathered and it support Man Cause Climate change' end of the science, not the 'here is some small data so most don't believe it yet side.

    At this point, the scientist who don't believe in man made climate change are in the same camp of the people who don't think the earth goes around the sun.

    Sure, maybe there is some other cause, but it would take a completely unknown aspect of physics to explain the data we have gathered. And to toss way volumes and volumes of data because there might be something we don't know is stupid.

    there are pre human cycles. we know about those.
    Now there is a rise on top of the pre human cycles.
    We know that about 60% of the CO2 humans put into the air do not go back into the carbon cycles because it's more then can be absorbed.
    We know CO2 traps heat.
    We know the normal expect cycle and the current temperature difference.
    So we have a pretty good idea of what our effects are.

    there was no situation like that. The people who didn't get published had no facts to support them, and then whined that there was some sort of conspiracy against them.

    You know what? they also won't run critiques saying gravity isn't real either.

    Create a lab experiment with a tank and increment CO2 levels and see if it traps the energy; oh wait, that's been done. repeatedly.

    alternatively:
    plant a trillion trees, drop the CO2 to 290ppm, then cut them down and watch it return to 400. Monitor the effects.

    See, you are the problem, well you and your ilk.
    The Michael Mann "controversy" was media manufactured.

    A) it was internal email, not scientific studies.
    B) The data they didn't include wan't includes becasue it wasn't relevant, not did it change in finding. It was just unneded data for that point.
    C) There was no Cherry picking
    D) The data left out SUPPORTS mankind having an impact on the global climate, so if hew as cherry picking, he would have left it in.
    E) Other groups doing there own studies have shown similar effects.
    F) It was one study; which is nothing compared to then preponderance of evidence. You would need more studies.
    G) You notice as soon as the actual fact came out the story was dropped like a hot potato? Why would Fox 'News' drop it if there was actually wrong doing?

    Micheal Man was the product of a witch hunt being preformed by AG Cuccinelli; who is a man who will use the courts to decides Science issues when the actual science doesn't fit his belief. He's an all around pretty horrible human; at least based on the thing he did as AG.
