Research on HOW global warming is occuring needs to be done. Not how to stop it.
We need irrevocable proof that humanity is the cause of it, before we "attempt" to do anything about it.
Once it is proven that humanity is the primary cause of this warming trend, then and only then should we take any steps at all to mitigate what we've done.
If 9 out of 10 doctors, all equally qualified, tell you that you need surgery, would you go with the opinion of the 9 or the opinion of the 1?
And personally I don't think we can do anything. If we cannot do anything to change the path of a hurricane, or cause a severe thunderstorm to prematurely collapse, then how are we expected to change the global juggernaught that is our climate?
That is also why I don't believe we have had any effect on the climate.
Weather and climate are related but are not the same thing.
I'm a Meteorologist, I'm sure I understand the relationship between Climate and Weather more then you do. As a result, I'm also sure I have a better grasp of what the "global climate" actually is then you do.
Let me ask you something. If 9 of those 10 doctors had just graduated school, and where still in their internship, all at the same time having their pockets lined by organizations who stand to gain something from that surgery, would you still trust them?
When I reference the internship, I'm not saying that the "scientists" who support the man-made theory are inexperienced, I'm using it in the reference that we just honestly don't know what the hell is going on.
The atmosphere if a ungodly huge engine. Unless you where to honestly spend a long time studying it, I find it doubtful that you could truly grasp just how complex, and powerful it is. We can't create models that can give you any serious accuracy more then 7 days out, yet we're supposed to trust models that map this entire engine for the next century? I'm sorry, but thats a ****ing joke.
In my professional opinion, I think any impact that mankind has had on the atmosphere, has been nothing more then a pin prick on the skin that it probably hasn't even noticed yet.
