Everything is Caused by Global Warming (600+ links)
Christopher Alleva

Dr. John Brignell, a British engineering professor, runs a website called numberwatch (http://www.numberwatch.co.uk/). He has compiled what has to be the most complete collection of links to media stories ascribing the cause of everything under the sun to global warming (http://www.numberwatch.co.uk/warmlist.htm). He has already posted more than six-hundred links.

The site's stated mission is to expose all the "scares, scams, junk, panics and flummery cooked up by the media, politicians, bureaucrats and so-called scientists and others that try to confuse the public with wrong numbers" Professor Brignell's motto is "Working to Combat Math Hysteria."

This exercise is not merely a lark to show the abject absurdity of this global warming nonsense. Brignell wrote a great book (http://www.numberwatch.co.uk/cover.htm) titled Sorry Wrong Number, The Abuse of Measurement on this very subject.

Dr. Brignell is accepting additions to the list so if you have any send them along.

None of these articles get written by accident. Someone is doing some serious leg-work to get the information (or propaganda depending on your point of view) out to the media to get this press for their cause.

No where near as good a job as the anti-AGW crowd of fogging real environmental issues which do not "get written by accident".

Brignell wrote a great book (http://www.numberwatch.co.uk/cover.htm) titled [I] Sorry Wrong Number, The Abuse of Measurement on this very subject.

I haven't read the book, but one hallmark of quality scientific writing is where the work was published. The usual publication process involves authors submit ting proposals, often with accompanying sample chapters, to different publishing houses. The publishers then send the proposal/chapters to experts (often experts suggested by the author) who comment on the value of the work. Finally, the publisher makes a decision regarding whether to issue a contract to the author.

Why do I bring this up? Brignell's book is published by ........... Brignell Associates, a publisher who, as far as I can tell, specializes in books by John Brignell.

I am reminded of a Sir Arther Clarke quote about UFOs, paraphrased: 'It doesn't matter if 90% the reports are false, or even if 99.9% of the reports are false. Only one has to be true for it to matter.'

This site chronicles the high signal to noise ratio of the modern era.

But global warming, whether we have anything to do with it or not, has only to be even a little bit true for it to seriously mess up our human world. Especially given that we are pressing the enviornment hard in all directions.

I remember talking to my dad, who as a young man in the 1930's would go fishing alot. He and his buddies thought nothing of drinking from the rivers and streams they fished in. (Except from the ones downstream of the coal mines). Who would feel safe drinking from a river or stream now?

In the intervening 70 years, we have all figuratively ended up downstream from the modern industrial era.

Either you are real young or I'm real old. As a kid playing in the woods, camping in boy scouts, I always drank from streams. I drank from the garden hose, heck I still drink my well water.

If I was thirsty and in the woods today I would drink from a stream.

Maybe its just me but I hardly ever, ever get sick. Your imune system should be excersized like anything else. Or you may turn into like that boy in the bubble who has no imune system at all.

15million years ago, alaska was a forrest. not an ice/snow field.

these days it's ice/snow and losing some snow.

11-30-2007, 03:14 PM

btw it occured to me to check global warming chatter on fact check as linked earlier today and viewed as bipartisan.

some of the info is dated but this was very recent and relevant.

Global Warming

During the debate Rep. Tom Tancredo of Colorado claimed that scientific studies were equally split on the existence of global warming and whether humans are responsible:
Tancredo: Okay. First of all, the whole issue of global warming, for every single scientist that tells you it's happening and that it's our fault — and they'll stack up to here in this reports — I can stack up another group of reports that say just the opposite.

Actually, we find that an overwhelming majority of the scientific community agrees that global warming is taking place and that human activity is predominantly to blame. Most recently the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), overseen jointly by the United Nations Environment Programme and the World Meteorological Organization, released a report representing the work of 600 authors from 40 countries and 113 government representatives, saying:

IPCC: The primary source of the increased atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide since the pre-industrial period results from fossil fuel use, with land-use change providing another significant but smaller contribution.

Also, the National Research Council, chief adviser to the U.S. government on science and technology, issued its own report as far back as 2001 that reads:

NRC: Greenhouse gases are accumulating in Earth's atmosphere as a result of human activities, causing surface air temperatures and subsurface ocean temperatures to rise. Temperatures are, in fact, rising. The changes observed over the last several decades are likely mostly due to human activities, but we cannot rule out that some significant part of these changes is also a reflection of natural variability.

It's true that there are dissenters to this consensus view. Among them are the Cato Institute’s Patrick Michaels, chief editor of the World Climate Report Blog, and the American Association of Petroleum Geologists. But the split is by no means 50-50 as Tancredo claimed.

How did you like living in Alaska 15 Million years ago?

The Sun was at one point not existent, but now it is. Since we know it will one day be non-existent again I guess we should just say forget and die now....

Some points are simply dumb and sometimes folks want to make dumb points over and over to the point of exhaustion of anyone with a lick of common sense.

Who gives a rat's behind what the natural state of anything is? We care whether or not the plant is habitable long-term. All we can do is adapt and take action to insure the earth remains viable and comfortable for us as long as possible.

Personally global warming is well behind immediate concerns such as pollution and letting China ship us poisonous toys but it is a very real thing and arguing it is not puts one in the same boat with those who travel around the country staying awake all night looking for UFO's.

You're so pretentious in your delivery. People under stand the "could" part of the GW problem. It's just not likely that industry development hasn't had an effect on the earth.

If you think that there is any possibility that it *could* be the case there has been no effect then you're sorely mistaken because it's not.

If you think that there is any possibility that it *could* be the case there has been no effect then you're sorely mistaken because it's not.

i'm pretentious? now that makes me giggle. : ) i'm wide open to mankind needing to do more to protect our environment. get off oil and find cleaner power. i'm sure we have some form of effect on the planet. i suppose "to what extent" is the question.

has the planet or has it not gone through warming periods and cooling periods over it's existance? if it's done it 100 times before, why is *now* all due to mankind and the last 40 - 50 years of our decadance or so?

to me it's like old faithful in yellowstone national park. the geyser blows all the time. it's like picking ONE time out and saying it's mans evil nature that made it do it.

i understand we need to better protect our environent.
i understand the things we can can and likely do alter the atmosphere. hell, look at LA smog.

but we're in a tizzy because the ice is melting on the polar caps. those who push GW say it's our fault and seem to ignore the fact it's done it many times before.

why?

i get laughed at by you and jt and some others but no one answers that. jt just says the sun will one day explode so let's all die now.

but i'm pretentious.

the sun may one day explode when it's life is over. is that our fault also?

i point out alaska and greenland were "green" 15 million years ago and jt just laughs and says it was uninhabitable even before that. great. to me that proves my point.

the world can and will change over it's life. saying we're the cause of GW *this* time just seems odd to me. so when i bring up these things i don't understand i'd like a pro-GW person to help me "get it". what happens instead?

my questions are ignored and i'm just called names and so forth.

there are some people you can have rational conversations with but those people usually are not glued to their point. people glued to their thoughts defend them, not seek to understand them.

therein is the difference.

The Earth is bigger than mankind. It has been here for billions of years according to science. There's a reason for that.

There have been varying species of life on the Earth for that entire time. Sure, there have been "some" species go extinct, but it's the exception rather than the norm. There have been global climate changes in the past, and there are still species of life here. I know, it's shocking to me too.

12-01-2007, 05:35 PM

like i said, if the world has gone through 100 warming periods in its' history, why is 101 something new?

this is a legitimate question that just gets HAHA'd away, no opinion given for why this could be. yet jt gives a top 20 list of his issues and i replied to like 17 of them honestly and couple just didn't make sense to me as an issue vs an agenda.

now he was appreciative of my response because as he said he *wants* to talk over the issues. well, i wish he would in return. instead many times the frustration comes out and we get nowhere.

so- 100 times the world has gotten warm again and changed it's landscape and mankind wasn't around for much of this. why is 101 our fault vs. just the next in line?

The point is, global warming really doesn't matter. It's a theory. But I think it's a good one that most of *the brightest minds in science agree on*.

But that's not the real issue here. The real issue is the environment. Either you care about it or you don't. We can't even begin to do it alone just by doing our part as a country in this world.

We could lead the way in changing the apathetic attitude about the environment. We just haven't yet....

I'm not sure why the GW issue is such a big deal. It's been an accepted theory for a long time. Sure, there are holes in it. That's the nature of theories.

I see that you have you're own *theory* about GW.

and i see where you choose to miss where i say time and again -

we can and SHOULD do more for the environment and to help protect our own resources. we SHOULD learn and improve and continue to do better.

that's a given.

well, to this "dense" mind.

btw - the question oddly enough still remains unanswered. why is the 101st time our fault when the last 100 were natural occurance? (number just pulled for a point,it could be 10 and 11 also - just asking why so many times before when the earth changed, it was natural, now it's man.)

The point is, global warming really doesn't matter. It's a theory.

What you said there is pertinent. A theory has been put forth.
If something were seriously wrong and seriously a threat, if something truly mattered; would the greatest of minds amongst us bother fighting?

One side say's this; the rational of the questioning mind would say: what have you got, in regard to evidence? What can we do to ensure your evidence is correct? How can we come to a valid conclusion?

Part of why I don't put much stock into Global Warming is the way it is politicized, the way it's used to polarize a population. I can understand smaller scale incidents of jealousy, arrogance and downright ignorance, within the scientific community, but this large scale division smacks of dishonesty.

There are clear lines of division in our population, regarding this. It fits too nicely into the Liberal/Neo-Con pattern of mental influence.

There is us vs. them.
Why? Don't we all inhabit the earth? Libs and Cons?
Of course we do.

It might seem Orwellian, but the pattern of behavior among our politicians and the information we're being fed is far too obvious to be called coincidence: an issue is introduced and sides are immediately chosen, lines are drawn. Republican - Democrat.

Immigration? Same tact. Abortion? Same tact. Health Care? Same tact.

Why? Considering the variables that exist among people, in regard to tastes and behaviors in art, food, love, hate, etc, how can anyone be pigeon-holed into an ideology so simply?

Is one love the standard for all expressions of love? Hate?
Everyone who frequents this board would give a completely different accounting of each, based on their own experience. Multiply that by the people who don't.

------

As for this earth, I personally think it's a living thing. All living things die and the earth should be no different. Does man contribute? Of course he does. Just as on a smaller scale, simply breathing and eating is taking us closer to our own personal death. With or without exhaust fumes, murder and cholesterol, we don't have what it takes to live forever.

You can look back and say I shouldn't have eaten like that. I shouldn't have smoked. I should've chosen a different career. It doesn't matter, you'll end up on your back no matter what choices you've made.

I'm not trying to debunk anyone's theory or opinion on the matter, just offering a different perspective.
