But... But... I'm So Confused!!!!
Global Warming is going to be the end of us all, right? I mean... that's why we're having so many hurricanes, right? And the polar ice caps are melting, right? And... and... everything else evil that the environmental terrorists activists are telling us. And... it's all our fault.
Well, then I see this:
And, if that wasn't confusing enough... then I see this:
You know, this just proves a point that The Godfather has made on more than one occasion: There is very little if anything that humans can do to destroy this Creation that God made. HE knew, long before the world was created, just what kind of mischief His creation would get themselves into, and HE made the Earth quite self-repairing. We are responsible (yes, to God) for what we do to this world we've been given, but we can't destroy it. (I've read The Book. I know how it ends... what me to tell you the spoilers?)
Global Warming? Global Cooling? Make up your minds, people!!!
Well, then I see this:
Increased output from the Sun might be to blame for 10 to 30 percent of global warming that has been measured in the past 20 years, according to a new report.But that's not what ELF tell us. Humans are the cause of all evil in this world... right?
Increased emissions of carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases still play a role, the scientists say.
But climate models of global warming should be corrected to better account for changes in solar activity, according to Nicola Scafetta and Bruce West of Duke University... "The Sun may have minimally contributed about 10 to 30 percent of the 1980-2002 global surface warming," the researchers said in a statement today.
And, if that wasn't confusing enough... then I see this:
A survey completed last year by Dr. Murray Mitchell of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reveals a drop of half a degree in average ground temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere between 1945 and 1968. According to George Kukla of Columbia University, satellite photos indicated a sudden, large increase in Northern Hemisphere snow cover in the winter of 1971-72. And a study released last month by two NOAA scientists notes that the amount of sunshine reaching the ground in the continental U.S. diminished by 1.3% between 1964 and 1972.Ice Age? ICE AGE???? But... I thought we were going to destroy the planet with warming. Not an Ice Age. First, you tell me to break out the sun screen and flip flops, and now I'm supposed to dig out the parkas and snow shoes? Will you people make up your minds!!!!!!!
To the layman, the relatively small changes in temperature and sunshine can be highly misleading. Reid Bryson of the University of Wisconsin points out that the Earth’s average temperature during the great Ice Ages was only about seven degrees lower than during its warmest eras – and that the present decline has taken the planet about a sixth of the way toward the Ice Age average.
You know, this just proves a point that The Godfather has made on more than one occasion: There is very little if anything that humans can do to destroy this Creation that God made. HE knew, long before the world was created, just what kind of mischief His creation would get themselves into, and HE made the Earth quite self-repairing.
