ORIGINAL: CerVeza Two interesting articles on the religion and faith of global warming/cooling/climate change: 1. http://thurly.net/0ihz and 2. http://thurly.net/0igk The hysterical ones act more like religious disciples than scientists. But that is where we are at in the world... feel good trumps reasoning. For the meteorologically challenged...the bigger the snow storm, the bigger the rain storm...the WARMER the air holding that moisture. To the extent that we see larger snows and rains and BTW larger hurricanes, it is directly as a result of the air around the world...being WARMER. Think kinkroids, we know that when we burn oil and coal, we do NOT burn it ALL. The are particles of matter that remain UNBURNT. Many of these are described as not surprisingly 'unburnt hydro-carbons.' Imagine that. Some of these particles make it into the upper atmosphere. There they act as does the glass ceiling in a greenhouse (remember that ?) and produce an atmospheric ceiling where less and less heat escapes, is no longer attenuated and produces a man-made layer of carbon in the atmosphere. This warms the air around the globe. I have an idea... Let's burn all of the remaining oil we know of an estimated 150 BILLION TONS, and only 80-90% of that so we have15 to 30 BILLION tons of unburnt hydro-carbons in the atmosphere. Happy now ? Did you make enough money to breath ? Make enough money to escape the effects ? No you didn't. That's ok...we'll evolve.
