we cannot predict the temperature eleven days from now, but you believe sponsored researchers who say they can predict the temperature one hundred years from now?

the increased ocean water rising is supposed to occur because of melting glaciers. only 0.03% of the glaciers worldwide have been studied. of those (which is about 70), most are retreating. the glaciers in iceland and greenland are expanding.

extensive oceans survying shows that currently, ocean levels have not risen.

when you see a report that states global temperature have increase, you need to ask where did that date come from, how was it compiled, and how was missing data from stations valued.
nearly all global temperature monitoring stations were once located outside of cites. in nearly all cases, the cites have grown around those stations and are now located within cities. those have recorded a marginal 30 year temperature increase to present. those monitoring stations located outside of cities have shown no increase, and in some instances, a decrease in temperature. this indicates urban heat effect. furthermore, nearly all monitoring stations show higher temeratures 70 years earlier than present. this shows that it is now cooler worldwide then 70 years ago. because of that issue, most reports only go back 30 years to illustrate a dramatic temperature increase.

notice this graph from nasa. the sharpest temperature increase occured around 1650. another, less dramatic temperature increase has been occuring since 1880. (keep in mind that is when modern record keeping begain) no one offers and explanation as to why such drastic global warming occured in 1650. however, human activity is instanly to blame for the present, less severe global warming trend.

do you know that no one knows if there is going to be more clouds or less clouds due to atmospheric warming?

do you know that no one can agree what the temperature is going to be in your city 30 days from now? there is an estimate, that roughly ranges within ten degrees. that is a margin of error over 10%. what other industry or science allows a margin of error of that immence scope to be acceptable?

we know very little about the climate. for people to make predications of what the weather will be like 100 years is pure speculation and approximation based on guesses, not facts.

last week i read in Discovery magazine an article about dust clouds increasing worldwide due to drought and expanding derserts which is cause by current global warming. the articles author did not site a single fact. the author did not provide any references. the author wrote pure speculation without evidence. the author assumed that (again, without providing fact) that global warming is occuring without proving it (which it isn’t). the author assumed without providing fact that drought is expanding, covering more surface area (which it isn’t) and guessed what would happen if the prior situational trends where to continue. this was a cover story, without any fact, published in a “science” magazine.
this magazine has wide readership. it gravely conserns me how many people will take that story as fact, proof and evidence without there even being any.
