“What has caused the gradual but systematic rise of two and a half degrees?” Muller writes. “We tried fitting the shape to simple math functions (exponentials, polynomials), to solar activity and even to rising functions like world population. By far the best match was to the record of atmospheric carbon dioxide, measured from atmospheric samples and air trapped in polar ice.”

I have not finished reading all the documentation yet but I have skimmed though a good portion of it all. It seems that many feel the earth is entering a cooling cycle and that would be great but then I looked up some of their supporting documentation and most of their premise is based of 2008 and later 2009 data showing that there was an increase in polar ice however the data has not held to be true levels have dropped exponentially in 2010, 2011’ and 2012. I would be interested in seeing updated documentation from these scientists factoring in the new data.
As I said I have not finished reading all the documentation from the site you provided but I am curious to hear your opinion on this matter now that you know that the basis of their stance on the issue did not hold true.

I could not believe he said it, admitted it, and it hit home for me!
There is no debate, the climate is changing and it's a huge problem we are facing!!
Here is what Mr. President said. timesofindia.indiatimes.com...
"My plan will continue to reduce the carbon pollution that is heating our planet, because climate change is not a hoax," he said, as he accepted his party's presidential nomination for the tight-fought election in November. "More droughts and floods and wildfires are not a joke," he said. "They are a threat to our children's future."
Legislation backed by Obama died in the US Senate in 2010 amid staunch opposition from Republicans, many of whom question scientists' view that carbon emissions are behind rising temperatures. Obama has urged Congress to renew tax credits for clean energy, with incentives for wind power set to expire at the end of 2012, and called for an end to subsidies to already profitable oil companies.
The debate should not be about who or what is causing it, FIX IT ALREADY!!! www.boston.com...
ENERGY: Obama said the country could cut oil imports in half by 2020, and support more than 600,000 jobs by expanding natural gas production in the United States, and investing in alternative energy sources, clean coal, biofuels, and more energy-efficient homes and buildings. He said his administration has raised fuel standards so cars and trucks will go farther on a gallon of gas; has made the country less dependent on foreign sources of oil; and opened up millions of new acres for oil and gas exploration.
Investing in alternative energy is what I'm talking about! This has got to be a priority and be at the forefront of any Presidents agenda!!
I have not bought into the lies our politicians have been promoting and I really do think they are all puppets, but his speech was impressive and Obama did say pretty much everything I wanted to hear!
This though, this is real, it's non debatable anymore as we are all becoming affected by climate change.
Yes, the Earth has always had changing climate.... No doubt, but my fiends we are living in a world that is going against the good order of NATURE and if we want to live here for very much longer, kids grow up and have kids, and so on, then we need to take better care of our planet!!!! Nations should not be divided, people should not be divided, and our congress better wake up!
It doesn't surprise me that news media are not talking about this issue more and it doesn't surprise me they were slow to bring up the issue from his speech last night.
The truth is ugly sometimes, but someone somewhere in charge needs to step up and do it quick!
So, what do you think ATS? What are your thoughts?

All the little arguments are not getting us anywhere. It's wasting time.
Now..... Let's fix it!

I think the sun is doing things we've never witnessed as humans and it is doing things that our geological records of magnetic pole shift and sudden climate change have shown since the inception of the science of geology. We are in that Chinese curse of being "blessed to live in interesting times". Some theology's think people choose to come into the world on their spirit's desire and maybe we did. But know that our knowledge of the future climate is only going to be based on what we turn up in the rocks and they tell a story that we've been here before and were going there again and again. Ice ages and warming periods are the facts. Huge events that wiped out various civilization are recorded too. It will happen again and we must prepare by going to space and colonizing planets elsewhere. Not by paying Al Gore a tax. That will only hurt us all and do nothing.
