I will prove CO2 doesn't increase global temperatures right after you prove God doesn't exist...
So what you're saying is there is no evidence at all that increasing CO2 concentrations will not cause higher temperatures. And we do have evidence that increased CO2 concentrations do cause higher temperatures... hmm...
Prove me wrong as I close my ears and not hear anything you say.
You're right - if you won't listen (or read) no one can prove to you that you're wrong. Of course, I can tell by the way you confuse weather and climate that you're already keeping yourself intentionally ignorant on the subject. Have a nice day. I hope for your sake you don't own any waterfront property.
Yes, because all of those samples are from pre-industrial times. In those cases the earth warmed up a little, some CO2 was released, causing more warming, releasing more CO2, etc. (Yes, I know it's not as simple as that, a warmer earth has less ice and absorbs more light, and water vapor and other gas concentrations will change as well...)
This warming we are experiencing now is due at least in part to humans creating CO2 by burning fossil fuels, not from CO2 naturally being released. We caused a significant increase in CO2 concentrations and CO2 has been known to absorb IR radition for over 100 years. Don't talk to me about CO2 lag, sunspots, or cosmic rays - show me the science that proves you can increase the concentration of a strong IR absorbing molecule (CO2) and not increase the temperature of the planet.
RealClimate.org has a good discussion on CO2 lag for anyone interested.
That's not the definition of unbiased. Perhaps the word you're looking for is unsolicited.
Also you didn't call your review unbiased. You called it objective but your review is actually subjective. For future reference, objective = facts, subjective = opinions.
So stripping away habeus corpus, holding people indefinitely, Torture Lite (and outsourcing torture as well) is OK as long as it's less evil than what the other guys do? Sorry, I don't think so. The lesser of two evils is still evil.
Timothy Ball and Richard Lindzen are idiots. Lindzen argues against Global Warming the same way Intelligent Design supporters argue against evolution. Timothy Ball uses the tired "1970's global cooling consensus" argument (see here and see here), specifically quoting Lowell Ponte, and he also overstates his qualifications.
I also found another article by Ball where he lists reasons why global warming is good for Canada and actually says "Thank goodness for global warming."
Yes, you're right. I wasn't very specific. What I meant was of the photo formats commonly used on the net, only jpg supports and retains the Exif data.
Yes, global cooling was a concern back then because of the aerosol, primarily sulfate, emissions. Since then we've cut back on aerosol emissions significantly while increasing CO2 emissions.
A few scientists exclaimed that smoke and dust from human activities would cause a dangerous global cooling. Or would pollution warm the atmosphere? Theory and data were far too feeble to answer the question, and few people even tried to address it. Among these few, the uncertainties fueled vigorous debates, in particular over how adding aerosols might change the planet's cloud cover. Finally, in the late 1970s, powerful computers got to work on the stupefyingly complex calculations, helped by data from volcanic eruptions. It became clear that overall, human production of aerosols was cooling the atmosphere. Pollution was significantly delaying, and concealing, the coming of greenhouse effect warming.

Interesting, I didn't know that. Thanks for the tip!

Only jpg files support Exif so saving the picture as a png (or other format) will eliminate the Exif data very quickly and easily.
If Antigua starts ignoring the US's patent and trademark laws due to internet gambling restrictions, maybe they can play our music too.

I believe "fraudulently" is the key word here. If there is no intent to defraud, it's not illegal to mutilate coins.
