yup, nothing to worry about, all that extra carbon dioxide, and other harmful fumes in our air is no big deal. who needs clean air, when you can bash al gore

So because this contradicts the more alarming computer climate models that somehow means people get to jump to the conclusion that ALL climate science is bunk? Really? Cause that seems to be the attitude of some people around here.
The data shows that some computer models were wrong about the severity of the greenhouse effect, that doesn't change the fact that it is getting warmer, though it may buy us the extra time we need to do something about it.edit on 28-7-2011 by Titen-Sxull because: (no reason given)

Ok.. did you learn to read? "a box one mile on a side", would be a "box" 1 square mile at its base and 1 mile tall.
That "box" would contain slightly over 147 BILLION cubic feet. The average human takes up approximately 3 cubic feet of space.. (considering everyone is an adult). So lets allow for the obese and even make it 4 cubic feet which is a gross exaggeration. Divide 147 BILLION by 4 and you still get over 36 BILLION people who would fit in the box...How many people on Earth? Less than 7 Billion... Now try to convince me our presence on the planet is changing the weather..
FUN FACTS about CARBON DIOXIDE
Of the 186 billion tons of carbon from CO2 that enter earth's atmosphere each year from all sources, only 6 billion tons are from human activity. Approximately 90 billion tons come from biologic activity in earth's oceans and another 90 billion tons from such sources as volcanoes and decaying land plants.
At 380 parts per million CO2 is a minor constituent of earth's atmosphere-- less than 4/100ths of 1% of all gases present. Compared to former geologic times, earth's current atmosphere is CO2- impoverished.
CO2 is odorless, colorless, and tasteless. Plants absorb CO2 and emit oxygen as a waste product. Humans and animals breathe oxygen and emit CO2 as a waste product. Carbon dioxide is a nutrient, not a pollutant, and all life-- plants and animals alike-- benefit from more of it. All life on earth is carbon-based and CO2 is an essential ingredient. When plant-growers want to stimulate plant growth, they introduce more carbon dioxide.
CO2 that goes into the atmosphere does not stay there but is continually recycled by terrestrial plant life and earth's oceans-- the great retirement home for most terrestrial carbon dioxide.
If we are in a global warming crisis today, even the most aggressive and costly proposals for limiting industrial carbon dioxide emissions would have a negligible effect on global climate!

NASA satellite data from the years 2000 through 2011 show the Earth's atmosphere is allowing far more heat to be released into space than alarmist computer models have predicted, reports a new study in the peer-reviewed science journal Remote Sensing. The study indicates far less future global warming will occur than United Nations computer models have predicted, and supports prior studies indicating increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide trap far less heat than alarmists have claimed.

reports that real-world data from NASA's Terra satellite contradict multiple assumptions fed into alarmist computer models. "The satellite observations suggest there is much more energy lost to space during and after warming than the climate models show," Spencer said in a July 26 University of Alabama press release. "There is a huge discrepancy between the data and the forecasts that is especially big over the oceans."
In addition to finding that far less heat is being trapped than alarmist computer models have predicted, the NASA satellite data show the atmosphere begins shedding heat into space long before United Nations computer models predicted. The new findings are extremely important and should dramatically alter the global warming debate.
In short, the central premise of alarmist global warming theory is that carbon dioxide emissions should be directly and indirectly trapping a certain amount of heat in the earth's atmosphere and preventing it from escaping into space. Real-world measurements, however, show far less heat is being trapped in the earth's atmosphere than the alarmist computer models predict, and far more heat is escaping into space than the alarmist computer models predict.

Well now. Even MORE proof the whole "Global Warming" ordeal is a completely fabricated and/or manufactured LIE. With one heck of a Cast of Characters... from Obama, to the UN, to the "scientific" field and on and on.
All caught with their pants down.... by Facts.
Not hysteria and fear mongering. They should be arrested or at least have their credential in the science field removed. Shame on them.
Go ahead you nay sayers. Lets have it. Try and defend this one. I am sure it will be interesting-as always. And funny.
Wait, I take it back. There has been some documented proof of an increase in the Hot Air about now-a-days..
The source has been tracked down and identified:

Fine, there's absolutely no such thing as global warming. I suppose the glaciers are receding for the fun of it? And the methane being released by the thawing tundra and muskeg is just hot air? And the increasing sea levels flooding island countries all over the world is just propaganda making waves? And the encroachment of tropical animals and diseases further north here in the U.S. is just vacations? All those photos taken of glaciers over the last hundred plus years showing recession must be just photoshopped. Huh. No doubt ALL scientific support of global warming actually happening is just academic fibbing. After all, only global warming belief advocates are deluded or have ulterior motives!
