Re: [Geology2] Re: your opinions

Kim, At 3 am your remarks get increasingly cranky. What I meant was this is a topic on which I can say something. There doesn't appear to be a professional climatologist here in this group. And climate affects us all therefore I feel I can say something with out feeling stupid. And here is a personal opinion... you should go to bed before 3 am. Allison

Your not being an expert on any of this stuff is not germane to the question of is an expert and expert and is a geologist playing weekend climatologist make him as qualified to speak on the topic of climate as a professional climatologist?

That's rather a sweeping statement isn't it Kim? Surely we are all entitled to put forward our own views and beliefs are we not without having to have a foot in both camps?

A geologist is no more an expert on climate than a climatologist is an expert on geology.

The thing about global warming is it causes the climate to change differently in different areas. There is a book called Global Weirdness that gives an unique look at how the climate can and is changing. It was written for a general audience. It is written by Climate Central an nonprofit and nonpartisan organization.

I am curious about where the number comes from saying the average temperature has went down, because I don't recall seeing that anywhere reliable. I have seen it quoted in anti global warming literature but not sure where it originated. I have also seen his argument quoted by people that believe global warming is a hoax and have many conspiracy theories relating to global warming.

I wish I had more time to comment, but I feel his ideas are a little out there and away from main stream science. But I do understand where he is coming from. There are cycles of warming and cooling and we aren't the only sources of CO2 in the atmosphere.

The weather is definitely changing. But what has this guy done as far as testing to back up his theory? I have no idea how much CO2 is spewed in the air by volcanoes. I recycle and plan to keep doing so because I figure it is wise to leave as small a carbon footprint as Â possible. I don't drive a Prius but think that because gas stems from a non renewable source that we should be looking at electric cars and other means of fuel anyway. So my lifestyle is not dictated by reducing CO2 in the air but by trying to be, if not super green, at least not super damaging. Sounds like this guy is really frustrated. Allison
