Satellite and weather-balloon research released Friday removes a last bastion of scientific doubt about global warming, researchers say.
Surface temperatures have shown small but steady increases since the 1970s, but the tropics had shown little atmospheric heating - and even some cooling. Now, after sleuthing reported in three papers released by the journal Science, revisions have been made to that atmospheric data.
Climate expert Ben Santer of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California, lead author of one of the papers, says that those fairly steady measurements in the tropics have been a key argument "among people asking, 'Why should I believe this global warming hocus-pocus?' "
After examining the satellite data, collected since 1979 by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration weather satellites, Carl Mears and Frank Wentz of Remote Sensing Systems in Santa Rosa, Calif., found that the satellites had drifted in orbit, throwing off the timing of temperature measures. Essentially, the satellites were increasingly reporting nighttime temperatures as daytime ones, leading to a false cooling trend. The team also found a math error in the calculations. |

The fact that the last winter I had was one day of rain...yeah, I think it's beyond doubt that global warming is about to fuck us up the ass. |

Bullshit. In Michigan, the seasons are slowly swapping, perhaps not in proof of global warming, but in proof of something larger instead.
As opposed to ten years ago:
Summer now lasts from mid-July through New Years.
Winter lasts from mid-January through Independence Day.
Over the last 10 years, the seasons have been later and later. 3 months ahead over the last 10 years. |

Havnt you guys ever seen 'The Day after tommorow"? Jeez...
Pretty often they come up with a "It wont happen" or "it will happen". The fact is, they dont know for 100% certainity, without a shadow of a doubt..
It is my belief that the Earth has its own correcting system..either way, the Earth will be around till the coming, and although we need to take care of the Earth, be assured that it will be around till after the end times. After the end times, a New Heaven, and a new Earth will be made. Heaven will decend on Earth, aka, heaven will be on earth. _________________ I know that I myself cannot do anything, that I will fall, and that I am a sinful man, but I know that I can do ANYTHING through God Almighty, whom strengthens me. |

Yes, confess is correct indeed, the Earth will survive to be here for a long time.
Mankind...that's a whole another different story.

Did you get the from the Book of Revelations in the Bible? I've written a report on that actually, and it could be interpreted in many different ways.
You could decipher it literally or metaphorically.
The literal-interpreters are even still broken down into 3 groups. Some think it already happened, some think it is happening right now, and some think it will happen far into the future.
The metaphoric interpreters believe that the whole book is just a metaphor for life (the conquering of good over evil, God is with you, etc.) _________________

Oh please no. Don't discuss Christianity on an internet forum. It gets really retarded really fast.

I say we use up all of the oil in the world. Now. Then, when we have hydrogen power we can sell water to the middle east for outrageous prices. _________________

Just for the record, no one is arguing that the temperature of the world isn't going up in the short term.
The argument is over whether we (humans) are causing it or if it a natrual part of the planet's/sun's/solar system's/galaxy's/etc's cycle. _________________ Hyperspace Owner

I like your logic, d1s. Except it's not actually the Middle East purposefully causing this problem, the main problem is that demand has risen sharply (with the Iraq war, China developing, and India developing) while refineries continue to operate at 100% capacity. Simple supply and demand. |

We probably could live without oil. I mean we would need to find a different way of energy. |
