About weather sampling stations, if the rest of the world’s stations are anything like those in the US, I can’t believe they would show a smooth, regular trend:

Poor Jim.

Smacked down with the facts again:

Global Warming Petition Project

“There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gases is causing or will, in the forseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth’s atmosphere and disruption of the Earth’s climate. Moreover, there is substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and animal environments of the Earth.”

31,072 American scientists have signed this petition,
including 9,021 with PhDs

U.S. Senate Report: Over 400 Prominent Scientists Disputed Man-Made Global Warming Claims in 2007

Senate Report Debunks “Consensus”

“There is a clear attempt to establish truth not by scientific methods but by perpetual repetition.”
- Richard S. Lindzen, Ph.D. Professor of Meteorology, MIT

It’s a choice between highly educated, experienced, and able scientists and “Jim” the uninformed occasional “sky is falling” commentator here at Flopping Aces.

So, who am I going to believe?

Not difficult to choose wisely here.

Jim: There is no threat to the planet from manmade CO2 emissions. Get over it. The scientific contradiction for global warming alarmism mounts daily.

Now that the sun is in a calmer period, it’s likely that the cooling trend which NASA’s advanced sensors have detected will continue despite any increase in CO2.

If YOU are wrong, we would have spent trillions of dollars for a fraud. Meanwhile, the real problems of global poverty, hunger and literacy go unanswered for lack of funds.

Thanks a lot for that. Another million or so people condemned to death by liberalism!

Great photo! Very cool.

But you are wrong. Not only is this false, it couldn’t possibly be true given the CO2 record from any of the dozens of sampling stations around the globe. If it were true that individual volcanic eruptions dominated human emissions and were causing the rise in CO2 concentrations, then these CO2 records would be full of spikes — one for each eruption. Instead, such records show a smooth and regular trend.

The fact of the matter is, the sum total of all CO2 out-gassed by active volcanoes amounts to about 1/150th of anthropogenic emissions.

You all need to get over making this a conservative/liberal battle. It’s not. It’s pure survival. If you are wrong, then we are totally screwed and there is not going “oops”.

That is one of the coolest pics I’ve ever seen. It’s my desktop background now. Just incredible. Great find!!

“Were any of our readers here close enough to Mount St. Helens when it blew to feel some of its direct effects I wonder?..”

Yeah, I’ve lived in the liberal wonderland of Portland, Oregon for 41 years. I was 14 when Mt St Helens blew. It was a beautiful May 18th, 1980 day — ironically, this May has been one of the coldest and cloudiest I’ve ever felt — and all you could see to the north was a mass of ash. Almost all the ejecta and ash went north, which spared Portland any real damage. You could feel some serious tremors, though. That was pretty cool.

If any one gets a chance, go up and see the National Monument. It’s amazing what kind of damage such a relatively small eruption can do.

I wonder how much global cooling that will cause. I’ll bet that, unlike the fictitious AGW, that could be measured? It will be interesting to follow that.

That is an incredible photo on several levels; thanks for sharing it Mike. Talk about a combination of power and beauty! Since my teen years I’ve always been fascinated by lightning, and this tops almost any storm I’ve ever witnessed. The amount of ash and carbon dioxide pumped into the air by this one volcano does indeed boggle the mind. Were any of our readers here close enough to Mount St. Helens when it blew to feel some of its direct effects I wonder?

Here’s a video interview of Freeman Dyson who thinks CO2 can have some negative effects on the atmosphere, BUT on Ozone, not temperature. He also says we can deal with whatever problem might exist without incredible expense.

He also thinks actual scientific observations are more important than models. (I.e., HE’S SANE!)
