I was expecting a meticulous dissection of their science and for you to burn my eyes out with thousands of paragraphs about why they are wrong. With two years of thorough research that would be the least you could do. Instead you tell me to type their names into Google followed by the word "debunked". Brilliant. You wouldn't be mc_squared by any chance?edit on 2-11-2010 by Nathan-D because: (no reason given)

Many so called "global warming deniers" also agree that global warming (or at least, climate change, which is what it should really be called) is real (myself included).
However, our biggest question is whether MAN MADE global warming is real. Especially since the global temperatures of every planet and moon in the solar system has increased at the same time as Earth's.

Oh boy not again, and from "skepticalscience?..
The claim that the Sun's activity has been steady, or hasn't increased since, pick your date 1950 to 1980s, is simply FALSE...
The sun's activity had been increasing until 2006, and we know that for at least 100 years the activity of the Sun had been steadily increasing, which in turn causes oceans to become warmer, which causes the atmosphere to become warmer, and a warmer atmosphere causes the water vapor level to increase, which causes a feedback effect warming the atmosphere more, which increases the water vapor content which makes the atmosphere warmer, so on, and so forth.
Since the activity of the Sun changes constantly, we also know the Sun is part of the reason why we can have warmer summer, or cooler summers, and colder winters and milder winters, although the oceans also affects this process as well as activity from outside the Solar System does influence the climate on Earth.
I have shown many times in the past that even back in 1978 scientists already knew that the climate on Earth was very probably going to change dramatically, but they didn't claim it was all because of mankind...
Is the solar system entering a nearby interstellar cloud
Abstract
Observations indicating a hydrogen density gradient in the vicinity of the solar system are reviewed, particularly observations of an anisotropy in the far-UV flux around 950 A from the brightest and closest O and B stars as well as a variation in the local D/H ratio along the lines of sight to Alpha Cen and Alpha Aur. Possible mechanisms that may strongly affect the observed D/H ratio on a very small scale are considered, selected radiation pressure is proposed as the most likely mechanism for deuterium separation, and it is shown that this mechanism would be effective only if the density gradient of the nearby interstellar medium has remained stable for at least about 10 million years. This time scale is taken to imply the existence of a nearby (less than 2 pc distant) interstellar cloud. Observational arguments in favor of such a cloud are presented, and implications of the presence of a nearby cloud are discussed, including possible changes in terrestrial climate. It is suggested that the postulated interstellar cloud should encounter the solar system at some unspecified time in the 'near' future and might have a drastic influence on terrestrial climate in the next 10,000 years.

NASA Study Finds Increasing Solar Trend That Can Change Climate
ScienceDaily (Mar. 21, 2003) — Since the late 1970s, the amount of solar radiation the sun emits, during times of quiet sunspot activity, has increased by nearly .05 percent per decade, according to a NASA funded study.
"This trend is important because, if sustained over many decades, it could cause significant climate change," said Richard Willson, a researcher affiliated with NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies and Columbia University's Earth Institute, New York. He is the lead author of the study recently published in Geophysical Research Letters.
"Historical records of solar activity indicate that solar radiation has been increasing since the late 19th century. If a trend, comparable to the one found in this study, persisted throughout the 20th century, it would have provided a significant component of the global warming the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change reports to have occurred over the past 100 years," he said.

The research above only covered only 24 years, from 1978 until 2002, and what Wilson found was that the Sun's activity had been increasing until the last year of his research, and we know for a fact that from 2002, and even before that, that the Sun's magnetic storms had been increasing in magnitute and frequency, and we know that when one factor of the Sun's activity increases it means all other factors, such as irradiance, the solar wind, cmes, etc, all increase in frequency and magnitute at the same time, and this had been occurring since 2006, and since we know that studies conducted by other scientists have shown that the Sun's activity had also been increasing for at least 60 years until the 1970s, we know for a fact that the Sun activity had been continuously increasing for 80-100 years and possibly more which has been the main reason for the Climate Change we have been experiencing.
Sunspots reaching 1,000-year high
By Dr David Whitehouse
BBC News Online science editor
A new analysis shows that the Sun is more active now than it has been at anytime in the previous 1,000 years.
Scientists based at the Institute for Astronomy in Zurich used ice cores from Greenland to construct a picture of our star's activity in the past.
They say that over the last century the number of sunspots rose at the same time that the Earth's climate became steadily warmer.

Latest warming
Dr Solanki is presenting a paper on the reconstruction of past solar activity at Cool Stars, Stellar Systems And The Sun, a conference in Hamburg, Germany.
He says that the reconstruction shows the Maunder Minimum and the other minima that are known in the past thousand years.
But the most striking feature, he says, is that looking at the past 1,150 years the Sun has never been as active as it has been during the past 60 years.
Over the past few hundred years, there has been a steady increase in the numbers of sunspots, a trend that has accelerated in the past century, just at the time when the Earth has been getting warmer.

news.bbc.co.uk...
The research from Wilson has demonstrated that the early claims that the Sun's activity had stopped increasing since the 1980s is in fact false, and the Sun's activity has in fact continued to increase until 2006, when suddenly the Sun's conveyor belt slowed down to a crawl for about 2-3 years, and now once again the Sun's activity seems to be picking up, but who knows what the Sun will do next?...
But of course, scientific evidence is nothing for the Al Gore religious fanatics... These people rather keep lsitening to a man who continues to use his private jets, and goes to Global Warming meetings in a suv convoy, and drives in an expensive Lincoln Town limo.

Look, the moon and Mars were having an increase in temperature that was similar to the increase on Earth for a while. The increase and decrease that we are experiencing is because of the Sun and it's changes, nothing more.

I believe it's real too and there's something strange going on with the sun. Volcanoes have been smoldering for some time now. What's the reason? To be honest, I had a vision of fresh water...oh forget it. What I've seen may not happen and I hope it doesn't. You can't convince people something is going on, if they don't look.

Less trees in world + greater population = greater increase in Co2
EASY ! Plant a tree
Why was Co2 emissions at its lowest in the 1940's in the industrial age ?
R u trolling? I hope so otherwise you didn't even bother to read the post or watch the vid. I'll be back with more after I check out the video.

Ok, then perhaps you would prefer the post that I was originally going to post (with no long video in it).
Here it is:
blah, blah, blah.
Enjoy life while you can.
In fact, if we were to stop all emissions tomorrow, temps would actually shoot up. Why? Because along with CO2, we are also emitting tiny particles (the ones that form smog) that hover in the atmoshphere and slightly dim out sunlight (it is known as global dimming). This has a cooling effect which has helped to counter the heating effect of CO2.
This means that if we stopped all emissions, CO2 would remain constant while the cooling effect of global dimming would disappear shooting the temperature up worldwide OVERNIGHT.

However, there is a large number of you who are simply uneducated on the topic, and you are the people that I am speaking to in this thread.
A 35-mile rift in the desert of Ethiopia will likely become a new ocean eventually, researchers now confirm. The crack, 20 feet wide in spots, opened in 2005 and some geologists believed then that it would spawn a new ocean. But that view was controversial, and the rift had not been well studied.
