I'm going to get out of this debate, but before I do, I wanted to leave you with the scientific reality that underlies this entire discussion, and the logical flaws in the argument of the AGW alarmists.......
First Fact: All life on this planet is based on carbon.......you know the same carbon that forms carbon dioxide, and is the primary component in the fuels that we use. The same carbon that has become the "bogeyman" for the AGW alarmists.
Second Fact: The carbon on earth, in its various forms, has always been here, and always be until the planet vaporizes in the corona of our dying sun.
Third Fact: With the exception of meteorite strikes, the amount of carbon in the earth's ecosystem is FIXED, and hasn't changed appreciably in the four billion years of the planet's existence. The carbon in our ecosystem may change in form, combine with other elements, form complex amino acids, or other compounds, but the total amount of it never changes in the macro.
Fourth Fact: The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is constantly changing, and has for eons.....further, it has been present at much higher levels than it is today.
Fifth Fact: The idea that our present level of scientific understanding of earth's ecosystem is sufficiently sophisticated that we can predict future changes in the climate is patently ludicrous on its face, and genuinely laughable to any true scientist.
Sixth Fact The fossil record that most evolutionists love has proven through spectrographic analysis that the earth has warmed and cooled countless times over its history, and generally does so on a cyclical basis......this is not a new phenomena, it has been happening also for eons.
Let us never forget our High School Physics......"matter can never be created or destroyed, only changed in form........"
So what I'm presenting above are the inarguable FACTS.......not theory, conjecture, or speculation, or the rantings of some UN climate panel......these are the facts.
Anyone with more than two functioning neurons, and a basic understanding of HS physics can come to the same conclusion that I have........AGW is a hoax
I'm not going to say that the earth isn't warming, or cooling......it changes all the time......but the idea that human beings can cause it to either warm, or cool is simply preposterous........
