or they wouldn't write this:
The two researchers from the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles (USA) conclude that “the theory of currently observed global atmospheric warming as a result of increasing anthropogenic carbon dioxide emission is a myth,” and that it has “proved to be an enduring one."
NO!!! But Al Gore said...
The take-home message of Khilyuk and Chilingar’s analysis, as they describe it, is that “any attempts to mitigate undesirable climatic changes using restrictive regulations are condemned to failure, because the global natural forces are at least 4-5 orders of magnitude greater than available human controls."
I started to relay this to the friend who'd drunk the kool-aid, but decided against stirring her up again. She IS a teacher, no telling what it'd do to her sense of balance to push her blood pressure so high.
The debate on climate change is never boring, the debate is full of surprises, and anyone claiming the debate is over is simply dismissing a significant number of papers that appear regularly in the major journals.
Damn, glad I didn't get rid of the truck.
Added: oh, this would make her lose her composure(more thanks to the good Mr. Blair):
N THE LAST two years, a remarkable amount of disturbing news has been published about global warming, mainly concerning melting of polar ice, tropical storms and hurricanes, and mass extinctions.
The sheer volume of these stories has resulted in some shifts in public attitudes. California has recently passed legislation to limit the emissions of carbon dioxide, the main global warming gas. Several bills are being prepared for submission to the new Congress early next year.
What's going on? Can the news really be this bad?
The answer is simple: No. Not if mathematics is any guide.
