Comment on: Global Warming, Not

The Greatest Scam in History Part 1

Again

We have shown that Wood disproved nothing--one experiment never does. But what cannot be denied is the increased CO2 in both the atmosphere and the oceans and the observable effects. Those effect include warmer temperatures especially around the Arctic and Antarctica where we see ice melting at alarming rates and the thawing of the permafrost which, when complete, will release even more greenhouse gases.

As an answer, we get the disingenuous argument that those coming from poor countries will have opportunities robbed from them when their real concern is their own personal prosperity.

You Don't Understand Science

Like most global warming alarmists you apparently have no understanding of what empirical science requires. The whole claim about the atmosphere being heated by IR was speculation by 19th Century scientists who also supported the myth that atoms were the smallest particles of matter.

There is no evidence that trapping IR can heat anything. The only experiment indicates the theory is false.

The amount of heat generated by human activity increased in the 20th century and is far more likely to the cause of any warming. The heat generated in the Arctic would be particularly significant if warming there is anything more then part of the normal climate cycle.

reason

Perhaps you don't. One of the basic tenets of science is observation, of course it is more involved than that. But simple observation tells us about the thawing the permafrost in Alaska, Siberia and the breaking up or melting of the ice at the polar ice caps, as well as the increased levels of CO2 in the atmosphere and the oceans.

The Woods' experiment said what in relation to greenhouse gasses? It said that in his experiment, the key variable was the opened/closed state of windows. Well, believe it or not, that variable does not come into play here and yet we are seeing an increase in temperature and greenhouse gasses.

In addition, proof is never obtained by one experiment. Empirical scientists know that, especially when the experiment did not provide a good simulation for what we are seeing today for the reason cited above.
