Global Warming

Just finished number 4 out of 6 as we speak

Nice. Where are you going? The way the schedule somehow happened to fall for me I have all 5 over the next two days.

Sorry buddy... I get my facts from Glenn Beck, not some "scientists."

What's a scientist?

-2000 to 2009 was the warmest decade since records began -2005 was warmest year of all time, 2008 coolest in decade -Global temperatures have risen 0.8 degrees Celsius since 1880

The first decade of the 21st century was the warmest ever on Earth according to data released by scientists at NASA. The U.S. space agency's data also revealed that 2009 was the second warmest year since temperature records began in 1880, and only narrowly cooler than 2005, the warmest year ever. 2008 was the coolest year of the decade but this was attributed to a strong La Nina which causes extensive cooling of the central and eastern Pacific Ocean. James Hansen, director of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) said in a statement: "There's substantial year-to-year variability of global temperature caused by the tropical El Nino-La Nina cycle. When we average temperature over five or ten years to minimize that variability, we find global warming is continuing unabated." In the past three decades, GISS report surface temperature records show an upward trend of about 0.2 degrees Celsius (0.36 degrees Fahrenheit) per decade. In total, according to GISS, average global temperatures have increased by about 0.8 degrees Celsius (1.5 degrees Fahrenheit) since 1880. GISS sources its data using over one thousand weather stations around the world, satellite observations of sea surface temperatures, and research station data from Antarctica -- all of which, they say, is readily available to the public.

I think that pretty much can sum up the whole humans vs nature argument.

Except it can't, because proof doesn't stop them from sticking their fingers in their ears LALALALALA I CANT HEAR YOU

You know, that is true.

There's not such thing as proof, in america, my friend.

Interestingly, for the UK, this winter has been the coldest for decades. Nor have I seen snow like we had for fifteen years.

Indeed. It looks like Kagoms profecy was true. I'm feeling pretty hungry. Where's WW?

I think I'll buy you a dictionary next Christmas, Skurai.

I love dictionaries. Sometimes I look up obscure words that I don't know.

I find it hard to believe that you've ever even opened a dictionary.

Of course I opened a dictionary. Back in third grade, I was looking for the definition of the word "fuck", and then I used it once or twice will reading Jekyll and Hyde. I also used it various other times, once or twice reading Faust (I'm just thinking of the easiest time to remember).

Virginia Tech, yourself?

global warming is a theory not a proven fact ... even the scientist that said about it exaggerated on the facts given to the public
