[Coach_Owens87]

Im not sure how many climatologists there are in the world. However, I can be certain there are not as many as you think. The amount of credible ones probably number around 3,000. That's a safe number Im using. More like less than 2000 in all reality, but we can never know for sure. So the fact that 650 people who are experts in their field are speaking up saying this is completely absurd stands out to me. More and more seem to be saying that every day. Even those not the Al Gore camp have eased up their wording now using statements as there is a probability man has had an impact on global temperatures. Also, a lot of scientists have put their careers on the line with the fact that man made global warming is true, and to admit otherwise is going to hurt them sverely, so they will fight tooth and nail to the bitter end to have us all believe that what they say is true, just to save their own butts.

For one Coach, you need to quit using alarmist terms such as earth temperature rising faster than ever. Because there is no way anyone could possibly know that.

could you please Provide a link to these 650 who oppose GW?

650 people, compared to 90% of the scientific field still doesn't hold much water.

If you would read some scientific magazines are articles you would know that CO2 levels, and temperature changes can be found in ice core samples from glaciers.

It's true that CO2 levels have been higher in the past, and have varied greatly, but those changes in CO2 occurred over a long period of time, some thousands of years, compared to the century or so this warming trend has occurred in. The earths atmosphere will absorb the excess CO2, but it cant do it at the rate we are putting it into the air, so to answer old schools question, thats why this cant be only a natural cycle.

Article that may shed some light on how they know this isnt natural, and how they know past cycles.
