I'd like to see a sub forum on global warming here, i'm amazed there's not :-2
Anyway my first question on this subject is
Do you really think 'concerts' for global warming will help?
Of course it will raise public awareness but considering all the big pop stars have to fly in, well there's the clue.
Your thoughts?

Concerts happen. If a concert isn't for a cause it's still a concert. It might as well be dedicated to raising public awareness and stimulating discussion at the same time as entertaining a crowd.

What I find interesting is the number of eminently qualified scientists that do not agree on Global Warming. Who to believe? Each side seems to have an agenda.

There's an "Earth changes" forum which is appropriate.
This and other "concerts" won't help and may make matters (just very slightly) worse.

Put it this way - if there's an equal opinion on each side (although I think that there's now a larger body saying global warming due to man's efforts is in fact happening) - one of them is going to be wrong. What are the consequences if the "Global Warming" mob are wrong? We've wasted our efforts in that particular direction, although we will have reaped benefits (less pollution, engineering developments, etc). What if the "No Global Warming" mob are wrong? Well, we're right up shilt creek without a paddle, and the consequences would be dire.

I thought this on the way into work this morning, as it was on the radio.
Apart from all the stars flying in, in private jets. (they could do a jet-share scheme couldn't they?) there is all the lighting and sound equipment to consider, as well as a good few thousand people sitting in their cars with the engines on, waiting to get in, and out again!
I think the project manager for the event should consider the following options
1- Ensure all the stars travel together in a jet-share scheme, or use easy-jet!
2- Lay on public service vehicles for attendees from all major towns/cities, and DON'T LET CARS IN! That way the vehicles used will be reduced by about 60%
3- Use energy saving lightbulbs in those dirty great big lamps

Actually Lon, and I am not being sniffy here, thats a common miusconception that has been put around by certain people with a non-scientific agenda. I have to say that as far as I know, its almost entirely unanimous amoung scientists that global warming is a certainty, as is the link between global warming and increasing CO2 levels, there are a handful of scientists who disagree, (and the scientific argument is always open to question by virtue of being science in the first place), but it is truly a handful against the vast bulk of individual scientists and scientific institutions who have been accumulating the evidence for years and have no doubts that this problem is all too real unfortauntly.
The British Royal Society sorta blew this one out of the water last year, with a very good paper debunking this propoganda about the alleged 50/50 split in the scientific community (its more like a 97/3 split), I think its important that scientists are far more explicit about their conclusions from now on about this issue. It seems that the natural inclination of scientists to always qualify their findings has in this case been used very very disingenously by cynical organizations and thats been a big problem to date in trying to convince people that all this stuff is actually real. Time will tell though.

I would add to this that there is in no way an equal opinion. For at least 15 years probably over 99% of the published research that takes an opinion on the subject concludes that the recent global warming (since the middle of last century) is anthropogenic.
Naomi Oreskes did this literature review that was published in (the highly esteemed and peer reviewed journal) Science. She loook at the 928 papers published 1993-2003 with the ISI keywords "global climate change" (not "climate change", as she states in the essay, there was a correction published later).
She found not one dissenting paper of the 928.
Of those very rare scientists who do dissent, (although they don't seem to have published to that effect in that decade), my experience is that the vast majority of that vast minority are not reputable scientists, and do have traceable funding form ExxonMobil or other fossil fuel interests.
The sceptics are so few that you can actually name many of them:
The poster boy is undoubtedly Lindzen, who is a respected scientist, but who "charges oil and coal interests $2,500 a day for his consulting services; his 1991 trip to testify before a Senate committee was paid for by Western Fuels, and a speech he wrote, entitled 'Global Warming: the Origin and Nature of Alleged Scientific Consensus,' was underwritten by OPEC", according to Ross Gelbspan in 1995. (see Exxon Secrets)
The next two you seem to see are Singer (S. Frederick) and Seitz (Frederick), who are both old and corrupt enough to have been telling people in the 50s that science denies that smoking is bad for them. They're doing the same thing now in their old age, except the victim is not just the gullible themselves ... it's the whole world.

Global warming
I'm reminded of the slow defensive retreat of the tobacco companies over the second half of the 20th century. They bought scientists with grant money in exchange for equivocal views on linking tobacco use with lung cancer and other health problems. Armed with those articles they used the argument that the scientific community was divided on the issue and that there was no consensus one way or the other within the scientific community. It was a cynical and deliberate manipulation of public opinion but also a vital tool in lobbying governments to delay any introduction of health measures. This time round it's a few governments themselves who are creating the "scientific opinion is divided" pressure groups.

Yeah.
And it is some of these same scientists that are denying global warming for the fossil fuel industry. What's crazy to me is that the tobacco industry faces a large litigation liability, which they're servicing by delaying as long as they can because the claimants tend to die during the process which limits damage.
But the fossil fuel industry's liability will just increase as time goes by in a warming world. These CEOs must really focus on the present and not the fifty-year future... Acutally that's obvious isn't it? Their bonus is based on this year's profit. They really are ripping off the shareholder if they are not accounting for a future litigation liability because of this con-job on the population.

I think the whole argument on global warming is beside the point, why do we always need a global crisis before we start doing what is right? Even if global warming was not happening, we should as responsible citizens of the earth, do what we can to protect it as it is our only source of life.
We should be looking for alternative energies; we should recycle and reduce waist and reduce pollution because it is the right thing to do.
As far as the looming crisis¦ I don’t know. The world was suppose to end with Y2K as well, remember all the computers were suppose to shut down causing chaos and confusion at the turn of the century leading to defence systems launching missile strikes bla lbla bla.
The world is changing, with the economies of China and India growing, it will be difficult to off set their increased levels of pollution, but we need to continue finding ways to protect our planet.

The difference was that in the 80s and 90s there were billions of dollars spent protecting systems against the Y2K bug, and testing entire duplicate systems on an advanced date.
There was a very lucrative industry in Y2K consulting, and basically, all large players correctly proofed themselves against the disaster.
With global warming, not sufficient action is being taken to stabilize the CO2 content of the atmosphere.

Yes. That will be a problem. And these two countries in particular will suffer fresh water stress under a warmer globe as their water supplies will become more violently seasonal when less precipitation in the Himalayas becomes less snow and more rain.

So what is it spot? Many scientist do not agree?
Or???
as you said:
"it's a few governments themselves who are creating the scientific opinion is divided pressure groups."
Show us ALL where these governments do influence scientist?
FYI:
Just a FEW that DISAGREE or have a OPEN mind.
Believe global warming is not occurring
Timothy F. Ball, former Professor of Geography, University of Winnipeg: "(The world's climate) warmed from 1680 up to 1940, but since 1940 it's been cooling down. The evidence for warming is because of distorted records. The satellite data, for example, shows cooling." (November 2004) [5] "The temperature hasn't gone up. ... But the mood of the world has changed: It has heated up to this belief in global warming." (August 2006) [6] "Temperatures declined from 1940 to 1980 and in the early 1970's global cooling became the consensus. ... By the 1990's temperatures appeared to have reversed and Global Warming became the consensus. It appears I'll witness another cycle before retiring, as the major mechanisms and the global temperature trends now indicate a cooling." (Feb. 5, 2007) [7]
[edit] Believe accuracy of IPCC climate projections are inadequate
Scientists in this section conclude that it is not possible to project global climate accurately enough to justify the ranges projected for temperature and sea-level rise over the next century. They do not conclude specifically that the current IPCC projections are either too high or too low, but that the projections are likely to be inaccurate due to inadequacies of current global climate modeling.
Roger A. Pielke, Senior Research Scientist at the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) wrote: “Humans are significantly altering the global climate, but in a variety of diverse ways beyond the radiative effect of carbon dioxide. The IPCC assessments have been too conservative in recognizing the importance of these human climate forcings as they alter regional and global climate. These assessments have also not communicated the inability of the models to accurately forecast the spread of possibilities of future climate. The forecasts, therefore, do not provide any skill in quantifying the impact of different mitigation strategies on the actual climate response that would occur. [8]
Hendrik Tennekes, retired Director of Research, Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute: "The blind adherence to the harebrained idea that climate models can generate 'realistic' simulations of climate is the principal reason why I remain a climate skeptic. From my background in turbulence I look forward with grim anticipation to the day that climate models will run with a horizontal resolution of less than a kilometer. The horrible predictability problems of turbulent flows then will descend on climate science with a vengeance." [9]
Antonino Zichichi, emeritus professor of physics at the University of Bologna and president of the World Federation of Scientists : "models used by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) are incoherent and invalid from a scientific point of view". [10][edit] Believe global warming is primarily caused by natural processes
Scientists in this section conclude that the observed warming is more likely attributable to natural causes than to human activities.
Khabibullo Ismailovich Abdusamatov, mathematician and astronomer at Pulkovskaya Observatory of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the supervisor of the Astrometria project of the Russian section of the International Space Station: "Global warming results not from the emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, but from an unusually high level of solar radiation and a lengthy - almost throughout the last century - growth in its intensity...Ascribing 'greenhouse' effect properties to the Earth's atmosphere is not scientifically substantiated...Heated greenhouse gases, which become lighter as a result of expansion, ascend to the atmosphere only to give the absorbed heat away." (Russian News & Information Agency, Jan. 15, 2007 [11]) (See also [12], [13], [14])
Sallie Baliunas, astronomer, Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics: "[T]he recent warming trend in the surface temperature record cannot be caused by the increase of human-made greenhouse gases in the air." (Capitalism Magazine, August 22, 2002)[15] Baliunas and Soon wrote that "there is no reliable evidence for increased severity or frequency of storms, droughts, or floods that can be related to the air’s increased greenhouse gas content." (Marshall Institute, March 25, 2003) [16]
David Bellamy, environmental campaigner, broadcaster and former botanist: "Global warming is a largely natural phenomenon. The world is wasting stupendous amounts of money on trying to fix something that can’t be fixed."[17]
Reid Bryson, emeritus professor of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, University of Wisconsin-Madison: "It’s absurd. Of course it’s going up. It has gone up since the early 1800s, before the Industrial Revolution, because we’re coming out of the Little Ice Age, not because we’re putting more carbon dioxide into the air." [18].
Robert M. Carter, geologist, researcher at the Marine Geophysical Laboratory at James Cook University in Australia: "The essence of the issue is this. Climate changes naturally all the time, partly in predictable cycles, and partly in unpredictable shorter rhythms and rapid episodic shifts, some of the causes of which remain unknown." (Telegraph, April 9, 2006 [19])
George V. Chilingar, Professor of Civil and Petroleum Engineering at the University of Southern California: "The authors identify and describe the following global forces of nature driving the Earth’s climate: (1) solar radiation ..., (2) outgassing as a major supplier of gases to the World Ocean and the atmosphere, and, possibly, (3) microbial activities ... . The writers provide quantitative estimates of the scope and extent of their corresponding effects on the Earth’s climate [and] show that the human-induced climatic changes are negligible." (Environmental Geology, vol. 50 no. 6, August 2006 [20])
Ian Clark, hydrogeologist, professor, Department of Earth Sciences, University of Ottawa: "That portion of the scientific community that attributes climate warming to CO2 relies on the hypothesis that increasing CO2, which is in fact a minor greenhouse gas, triggers a much larger water vapour response to warm the atmosphere. This mechanism has never been tested scientifically beyond the mathematical models that predict extensive warming, and are confounded by the complexity of cloud formation - which has a cooling effect. ... We know that was responsible for climate change in the past, and so is clearly going to play the lead role in present and future climate change. And interestingly... solar activity has recently begun a downward cycle." (The Hill Times, March 22, 2004 [21])
Don Easterbrook, emeritus professor of geology, Western Washington University: "global warming since 1900 could well have happened without any effect of CO2. If the cycles continue as in the past, the current warm cycle should end soon and global temperatures should cool slightly until about 2035" [22]
William M. Gray, Professor of Atmospheric Science, Colorado State University: "This small warming is likely a result of the natural alterations in global ocean currents which are driven by ocean salinity variations. Ocean circulation variations are as yet little understood. Human kind has little or nothing to do with the recent temperature changes. We are not that influential."[23]) "I am of the opinion that [global warming] is one of the greatest hoaxes ever perpetrated on the American people." [24]) "So many people have a vested interest in this global-warming thing—all these big labs and research and stuff. The idea is to frighten the public, to get money to study it more."[25])
George Kukla, retired Professor of Climatology at Columbia University and Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, said in an interview: "What I think is this: Man is responsible for a PART of global warming. MOST of it is still natural." (Gelf Magazine, April 24, 2007) [26]
David Legates, associate professor of geography and director of the Center for Climatic Research, University of Delaware: "About half of the warming during the 20th century occurred prior to the 1940s, and natural variability accounts for all or nearly all of the warming." (May 15, 2006 [27])
Marcel Leroux, former Professor of Climatology, Université Jean Moulin: "The possible causes, then, of climate change are: well-established orbital parameters on the palaeoclimatic scale, ... solar activity, ...; volcanism ...; and far at the rear, the greenhouse effect, and in particular that caused by water vapor, the extent of its influence being unknown. These factors are working together all the time, and it seems difficult to unravel the relative importance of their respective influences upon climatic evolution. Equally, it is tendentious to highlight the anthropic factor, which is, clearly, the least credible among all those previously mentioned." (M. Leroux, Global Warming - Myth or Reality?, 2005, p. 120 [28])
Tad Murty, oceanographer; adjunct professor, Departments of Civil Engineering and Earth Sciences, University of Ottawa: global warming "is the biggest scientific hoax being perpetrated on humanity. There is no global warming due to human anthropogenic activities. The atmosphere hasn’t changed much in 280 million years, and there have always been cycles of warming and cooling. The Cretaceous period was the warmest on earth. You could have grown tomatoes at the North Pole"[29]
Tim Patterson [30], paleoclimatologist and Professor of Geology at Carleton University in Canada: "There is no meaningful correlation between CO2 levels and Earth's temperature over this [geologic] time frame. In fact, when CO2 levels were over ten times higher than they are now, about 450 million years ago, the planet was in the depths of the absolute coldest period in the last half billion years. On the basis of this evidence, how could anyone still believe that the recent relatively small increase in CO2 levels would be the major cause of the past century's modest warming?" [31][32]
Ian Plimer, Professor of Mining Geology, The University of Adelaide: "We only have to have one volcano burping and we have changed the whole planetary climate... It looks as if carbon dioxide actually follows climate change rather than drives it". [[33]]
Frederick Seitz, retired, former solid-state physicist, former president of the National Academy of Sciences: "So we see that the scientific facts indicate that all the temperature changes observed in the last 100 years were largely natural changes and were not caused by carbon dioxide produced in human activities." (Environment News, 2001 [34])
Nir Shaviv, astrophysicist at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem: "[T]he truth is probably somewhere in between , with natural causes probably being more important over the past century, whereas anthropogenic causes will probably be more dominant over the next century. ... [A]bout 2/3's (give or take a third or so) of the warming [over the past century] should be attributed to increased solar activity and the remaining to anthropogenic causes." His opinion is based on some proxies of solar activity over the past few centuries. [35]
Fred Singer, Professor emeritus of Environmental Sciences at the University of Virginia: "The greenhouse effect is real. However, the effect is minute, insignificant, and very difficult to detect." (Christian Science Monitor, April 22, 2005) [36] "The Earth currently is experiencing a warming trend, but there is scientific evidence that human activities have little to do with it.", NCPA Study No. 279, Sep. 2005 [37]. “It’s not automatically true that warming is bad, I happen to believe that warming is good, and so do many economists. (CBC's Denial machine @ 19:23 - Google Video Link)
Willie Soon, astrophysicist, Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics: "[T]here's increasingly strong evidence that previous research conclusions, including those of the United Nations and the United States government concerning 20th century warming, may have been biased by underestimation of natural climate variations. The bottom line is that if these variations are indeed proven true, then, yes, natural climate fluctuations could be a dominant factor in the recent warming. In other words, natural factors could be more important than previously assumed." (Harvard University Gazette, 24 April 2003 [38])
Philip Stott, professor emeritus of biogeography at the University of London: "...the myth is starting to implode. ... Serious new research at The Max Planck Institute has indicated that the sun is a far more significant factor..." (Global Warming as Myth [39])
Henrik Svensmark, Danish National Space Center: "Our team ... has discovered that the relatively few cosmic rays that reach sea-level play a big part in the everyday weather. They help to make low-level clouds, which largely regulate the Earth’s surface temperature. During the 20th Century the influx of cosmic rays decreased and the resulting reduction of cloudiness allowed the world to warm up. ... most of the warming during the 20th Century can be explained by a reduction in low cloud cover." [40]
Jan Veizer, environmental geochemist, Professor Emeritus from University of Ottawa: "At this stage, two scenarios of potential human impact on climate appear feasible: (1) the standard IPCC model ..., and (2) the alternative model that argues for celestial phenomena as the principal climate driver. ... Models and empirical observations are both indispensable tools of science, yet when discrepancies arise, observations should carry greater weight than theory. If so, the multitude of empirical observations favours celestial phenomena as the most important driver of terrestrial climate on most time scales, but time will be the final judge." (In J. Veizer, "Celestial climate driver: a perspective from four billion years of the carbon cycle", Geoscience Canada, March, 2005. [41], [42])[edit] Believe cause of global warming is unknown
Scientists in this section conclude it is too early to ascribe any principal cause to the observed rising temperatures, man-made or natural.
Syun-Ichi Akasofu, retired professor of geophysics and Director of the International Arctic Research Center of the University of Alaska Fairbanks: "[T]he method of study adopted by the International Panel of Climate Change (IPCC) is fundamentally flawed, resulting in a baseless conclusion: Most of the observed increase in globally averaged temperatures since the mid-20th century is very likely due to the observed increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas concentrations. Contrary to this statement ..., there is so far no definitive evidence that 'most' of the present warming is due to the greenhouse effect. ... should have recognized that the range of observed natural changes should not be ignored, and thus their conclusion should be very tentative. The term 'most' in their conclusion is baseless." [43]
Claude Allègre, geochemist, Institute of Geophysics (Paris): "The increase in the CO2 content of the atmosphere is an observed fact and mankind is most certainly responsible. In the long term, this increase will without doubt become harmful, but its exact role in the climate is less clear. Various parameters appear more important than CO2. Consider the water cycle and formation of various types of clouds, and the complex effects of industrial or agricultural dust. Or fluctuations of the intensity of the solar radiation on annual and century scale, which seem better correlated with heating effects than the variations of CO2 content." (Translation from the original French version in L'Express, May 10, 2006 [44])
Robert C. Balling, Jr., director of the Office of Climatology and a professor of geography at Arizona State University: "t is very likely that the recent upward trend [in global surface temperature] is very real and that the upward signal is greater than any noise introduced from uncertainties in the record. However, the general error is most likely to be in the warming direction, with a maximum possible (though unlikely) value of 0.3 °C. ... At this moment in time we know only that: (1) Global surface temperatures have risen in recent decades. (2) Mid-tropospheric temperatures have warmed little over the same period. (3) This difference is not consistent with predictions from numerical climate models." (George C. Marshall Institute, Policy Outlook, September 2003[45])
John Christy, professor of atmospheric science and director of the Earth System Science Center at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, contributor to several IPCC reports (answering to "If global temperatures are increasing, to what extent is the increase attributable to greenhouse gas emissions from human activity as opposed to natural variability or other causes?"): "No one knows. Estimates today are given by climate model simulations made against a backdrop of uncertain natural variability, assumptions about how greenhouse gases affect the climate, and model shortcomings in general. The evidence from our work (and others) is that the way the observed temperatures are changing in many important aspects is not consistent with model simulations." [46]
William R. Cotton, Professor of Atmospheric Sciences at University of Colorado said in a presentation, "It is an open question if human produced changes in climate are large enough to be detected from the noise of the natural variability of the climate system." [47]
Chris de Freitas, Associate Professor, School of Geography, Geology and Environmental Science, University of Auckland: "There is evidence of global warming. ... But warming does not confirm that carbon dioxide is causing it. Climate is always warming or cooling. There are natural variability theories of warming. To support the argument that carbon dioxide is causing it, the evidence would have to distinguish between human-caused and natural warming. This has not been done." (The New Zealand Herald, May 9, 2006 [48])
David Deming, geology professor at the University of Oklahoma: "The amount of climatic warming that has taken place in the past 150 years is poorly constrained, and its cause--human or natural--is unknown. There is no sound scientific basis for predicting future climate change with any degree of certainty. If the climate does warm, it is likely to be beneficial to humanity rather than harmful. In my opinion, it would be foolish to establish national energy policy on the basis of misinformation and irrational hysteria." (Testimony before the U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, December 6, 2006 [49])
Richard Lindzen, Alfred Sloane Professor of Atmospheric Science at the Massachussetts Institute of Technology and member of the National Academy of Sciences: "We are quite confident (1) that global mean temperature is about 0.5 °C higher than it was a century ago; (2) that atmospheric levels of CO2 have risen over the past two centuries; and (3) that CO2 is a greenhouse gas whose increase is likely to warm the earth (one of many, the most important being water vapor and clouds). But--and I cannot stress this enough--we are not in a position to confidently attribute past climate change to CO2 or to forecast what the climate will be in the future." [50] "[T]here has been no question whatsoever that CO2 is an infrared absorber (i.e., a greenhouse gas — albeit a minor one), and its increase should theoretically contribute to warming. Indeed, if all else were kept equal, the increase in CO2 should have led to somewhat more warming than has been observed." (San Francisco Examiner, July 12, 2006 [51] and in Wall Street Journal, June 26, 2006, Page A14)
Roy Spencer, principal research scientist, University of Alabama in Huntsville: "We need to find out how much of the warming we are seeing could be due to mankind, because I still maintain we have no idea how much you can attribute to mankind." (George C. Marshall Institute Washington Roundtable on Science and Public Policy, April 17, 2006 [52])[edit] Believe global warming will benefit human society
Scientists in this section conclude that the rising temperatures that are occurring will be of little impact or a net positive for human society.
Sherwood Idso, former research physicist, USDA Water Conservation Laboratory, and adjunct professor, Arizona State University: "[W]arming has been shown to positively impact human health, while atmospheric CO2 enrichment has been shown to enhance the health-promoting properties of the food we eat, as well as stimulate the production of more of it. ... [W]e have nothing to fear from increasing concentrations of atmospheric CO2 and global warming." ("Enhanced or Impaired? Human Health in a CO2-Enriched Warmer World", co2science.org, Nov, 2003, p. 30 [53])
Patrick Michaels, state climatologist, University of Virginia: "scientists know quite precisely how much the planet will warm in the foreseeable future, a modest three-quarters of a degree (C), plus or minus a mere quarter-degree...a modest warming is a likely benefit."[54]
So what is it spot? Many scientist do not agree?
Or???
as you said:
"it's a few governments themselves who are creating the scientific opinion is divided pressure groups."
Show us ALL where these governments do influence scientist?
FYI:
Just a FEW that DISAGREE or have a OPEN mind.
Believe global warming is not occurring
Timothy F. Ball, former Professor of Geography, University of Winnipeg: "(The world's climate) warmed from 1680 up to 1940, but since 1940 it's been cooling down. The evidence for warming is because of distorted records. The satellite data, for example, shows cooling." (November 2004) [5] "The temperature hasn't gone up. ... But the mood of the world has changed: It has heated up to this belief in global warming." (August 2006) [6] "Temperatures declined from 1940 to 1980 and in the early 1970's global cooling became the consensus. ... By the 1990's temperatures appeared to have reversed and Global Warming became the consensus. It appears I'll witness another cycle before retiring, as the major mechanisms and the global temperature trends now indicate a cooling." (Feb. 5, 2007) [7]
[edit] Believe accuracy of IPCC climate projections are inadequate
Scientists in this section conclude that it is not possible to project global climate accurately enough to justify the ranges projected for temperature and sea-level rise over the next century. They do not conclude specifically that the current IPCC projections are either too high or too low, but that the projections are likely to be inaccurate due to inadequacies of current global climate modeling.
Roger A. Pielke, Senior Research Scientist at the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) wrote: “Humans are significantly altering the global climate, but in a variety of diverse ways beyond the radiative effect of carbon dioxide. The IPCC assessments have been too conservative in recognizing the importance of these human climate forcings as they alter regional and global climate. These assessments have also not communicated the inability of the models to accurately forecast the spread of possibilities of future climate. The forecasts, therefore, do not provide any skill in quantifying the impact of different mitigation strategies on the actual climate response that would occur. [8]
Hendrik Tennekes, retired Director of Research, Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute: "The blind adherence to the harebrained idea that climate models can generate 'realistic' simulations of climate is the principal reason why I remain a climate skeptic. From my background in turbulence I look forward with grim anticipation to the day that climate models will run with a horizontal resolution of less than a kilometer. The horrible predictability problems of turbulent flows then will descend on climate science with a vengeance." [9]
Antonino Zichichi, emeritus professor of physics at the University of Bologna and president of the World Federation of Scientists : "models used by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) are incoherent and invalid from a scientific point of view". [10][edit] Believe global warming is primarily caused by natural processes
Scientists in this section conclude that the observed warming is more likely attributable to natural causes than to human activities.
Khabibullo Ismailovich Abdusamatov, mathematician and astronomer at Pulkovskaya Observatory of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the supervisor of the Astrometria project of the Russian section of the International Space Station: "Global warming results not from the emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, but from an unusually high level of solar radiation and a lengthy - almost throughout the last century - growth in its intensity...Ascribing 'greenhouse' effect properties to the Earth's atmosphere is not scientifically substantiated...Heated greenhouse gases, which become lighter as a result of expansion, ascend to the atmosphere only to give the absorbed heat away." (Russian News & Information Agency, Jan. 15, 2007 [11]) (See also [12], [13], [14])
Sallie Baliunas, astronomer, Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics: "[T]he recent warming trend in the surface temperature record cannot be caused by the increase of human-made greenhouse gases in the air." (Capitalism Magazine, August 22, 2002)[15] Baliunas and Soon wrote that "there is no reliable evidence for increased severity or frequency of storms, droughts, or floods that can be related to the air’s increased greenhouse gas content." (Marshall Institute, March 25, 2003) [16]
David Bellamy, environmental campaigner, broadcaster and former botanist: "Global warming is a largely natural phenomenon. The world is wasting stupendous amounts of money on trying to fix something that can’t be fixed."[17]
Reid Bryson, emeritus professor of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, University of Wisconsin-Madison: "It’s absurd. Of course it’s going up. It has gone up since the early 1800s, before the Industrial Revolution, because we’re coming out of the Little Ice Age, not because we’re putting more carbon dioxide into the air." [18].
Robert M. Carter, geologist, researcher at the Marine Geophysical Laboratory at James Cook University in Australia: "The essence of the issue is this. Climate changes naturally all the time, partly in predictable cycles, and partly in unpredictable shorter rhythms and rapid episodic shifts, some of the causes of which remain unknown." (Telegraph, April 9, 2006 [19])
George V. Chilingar, Professor of Civil and Petroleum Engineering at the University of Southern California: "The authors identify and describe the following global forces of nature driving the Earth’s climate: (1) solar radiation ..., (2) outgassing as a major supplier of gases to the World Ocean and the atmosphere, and, possibly, (3) microbial activities ... . The writers provide quantitative estimates of the scope and extent of their corresponding effects on the Earth’s climate [and] show that the human-induced climatic changes are negligible." (Environmental Geology, vol. 50 no. 6, August 2006 [20])
Ian Clark, hydrogeologist, professor, Department of Earth Sciences, University of Ottawa: "That portion of the scientific community that attributes climate warming to CO2 relies on the hypothesis that increasing CO2, which is in fact a minor greenhouse gas, triggers a much larger water vapour response to warm the atmosphere. This mechanism has never been tested scientifically beyond the mathematical models that predict extensive warming, and are confounded by the complexity of cloud formation - which has a cooling effect. ... We know that was responsible for climate change in the past, and so is clearly going to play the lead role in present and future climate change. And interestingly... solar activity has recently begun a downward cycle." (The Hill Times, March 22, 2004 [21])
Don Easterbrook, emeritus professor of geology, Western Washington University: "global warming since 1900 could well have happened without any effect of CO2. If the cycles continue as in the past, the current warm cycle should end soon and global temperatures should cool slightly until about 2035" [22]
William M. Gray, Professor of Atmospheric Science, Colorado State University: "This small warming is likely a result of the natural alterations in global ocean currents which are driven by ocean salinity variations. Ocean circulation variations are as yet little understood. Human kind has little or nothing to do with the recent temperature changes. We are not that influential."[23]) "I am of the opinion that [global warming] is one of the greatest hoaxes ever perpetrated on the American people." [24]) "So many people have a vested interest in this global-warming thing—all these big labs and research and stuff. The idea is to frighten the public, to get money to study it more."[25])
George Kukla, retired Professor of Climatology at Columbia University and Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, said in an interview: "What I think is this: Man is responsible for a PART of global warming. MOST of it is still natural." (Gelf Magazine, April 24, 2007) [26]
David Legates, associate professor of geography and director of the Center for Climatic Research, University of Delaware: "About half of the warming during the 20th century occurred prior to the 1940s, and natural variability accounts for all or nearly all of the warming." (May 15, 2006 [27])
Marcel Leroux, former Professor of Climatology, Université Jean Moulin: "The possible causes, then, of climate change are: well-established orbital parameters on the palaeoclimatic scale, ... solar activity, ...; volcanism ...; and far at the rear, the greenhouse effect, and in particular that caused by water vapor, the extent of its influence being unknown. These factors are working together all the time, and it seems difficult to unravel the relative importance of their respective influences upon climatic evolution. Equally, it is tendentious to highlight the anthropic factor, which is, clearly, the least credible among all those previously mentioned." (M. Leroux, Global Warming - Myth or Reality?, 2005, p. 120 [28])
Tad Murty, oceanographer; adjunct professor, Departments of Civil Engineering and Earth Sciences, University of Ottawa: global warming "is the biggest scientific hoax being perpetrated on humanity. There is no global warming due to human anthropogenic activities. The atmosphere hasn’t changed much in 280 million years, and there have always been cycles of warming and cooling. The Cretaceous period was the warmest on earth. You could have grown tomatoes at the North Pole"[29]
Tim Patterson [30], paleoclimatologist and Professor of Geology at Carleton University in Canada: "There is no meaningful correlation between CO2 levels and Earth's temperature over this [geologic] time frame. In fact, when CO2 levels were over ten times higher than they are now, about 450 million years ago, the planet was in the depths of the absolute coldest period in the last half billion years. On the basis of this evidence, how could anyone still believe that the recent relatively small increase in CO2 levels would be the major cause of the past century's modest warming?" [31][32]
Ian Plimer, Professor of Mining Geology, The University of Adelaide: "We only have to have one volcano burping and we have changed the whole planetary climate... It looks as if carbon dioxide actually follows climate change rather than drives it". [[33]]
Frederick Seitz, retired, former solid-state physicist, former president of the National Academy of Sciences: "So we see that the scientific facts indicate that all the temperature changes observed in the last 100 years were largely natural changes and were not caused by carbon dioxide produced in human activities." (Environment News, 2001 [34])
Nir Shaviv, astrophysicist at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem: "[T]he truth is probably somewhere in between , with natural causes probably being more important over the past century, whereas anthropogenic causes will probably be more dominant over the next century. ... [A]bout 2/3's (give or take a third or so) of the warming [over the past century] should be attributed to increased solar activity and the remaining to anthropogenic causes."

Trying to name them all would be just too time consuming.
Scientist in the field ONLY........
Don't be ridiculous. No one is going to be able to list them. The group is huge.
Just look at the list of contributors to the IPCC wroking group I report: And that's not even the reviewers. And that's just working group I. And there are many more whose work was referenced.

Yeah. A very few.
If you, rather than talking individual poeple on this little planet of 6 billion, you could look at the statements by scientific organistaions (such as is done on this wiki page) - The only dissenting opinion in over a dozen scientific organisations is the American Association of Petroleum Geologists. And there's a possible professional bias there.
Or, if you look at published scientific reasearch, as is done in this essay, there are no dissenting papers amongst the 928 that were filed with the ISI keywords "Global climate change".
So I think that dissenting scientific opinion that actually exists is pretty negiligible.

Even if global warming was not happening, we should as responsible citizens of the earth, do what we can to protect it as it is our only source of life.
We should be looking for alternative energies; we should recycle and reduce waist and reduce pollution because it is the right thing to do.
As far as the looming crisis¦ I don’t know. The world was suppose to end with Y2K as well, remember all the computers were suppose to shut down causing chaos and confusion at the turn of the century leading to defence systems launching missile strikes bla lbla bla.
The world is changing, with the economies of China and India growing, it will be difficult to off set their increased levels of pollution, but we need to continue finding ways to protect our planet.
I object, strenuously, to this one. We bust a gut stopping a crisis and people assume that, because it didn't happen, we were making it up.
The company I work for spent about £5M on Y2K - I personally waded through a large proportion of 1.3 million lines of code looking for problems and specing the changes required. There followed thousands of man hours of coding and testing to ensure that our one system would continue to work over the two month period around the millenium whilst everyone else was partying - and the result? No-one believes it was real!
Imagine if none of you plastic cards would work in the high street or in the ATM. Imagine if all of the banks shut down because they'd lost you accounts. Imagine if all of the transportation schedules had crashed and nothing was moving - worse still if planes were dropping out of the sky because their navigation and autopilots crashed. Imagine if global communications failed because satelites were no longer where they were expected to be.
All of that would have happened if we'd taken no action - but it's a myth because it didn't.
Imagine, in fifty years time when the next global extinction happens - because it's all a myth isn't it.

Your thoughts?
I doubt public awareness needs to be raised. The entire plsnet seems to be aware of an event that is not going to happen. We will have another ice age before we have global warming..
My question is..........Why does anyone else doubt it????
This is a natural global cycle of warming and cooling. The leadsers of the world have not listened to the scientists.
Ass hole leaders who have degrees in law rather than science. The science people who agree with them are hoping for grants for their projects.

They bought scientists with grant money in exchange for equivocal views on linking tobacco use with lung cancer and other health problems. Armed with those articles they used the argument that the scientific community was divided on the issue and that there was no consensus one way or the other within the scientific community. It was a cynical and deliberate manipulation of public opinion but also a vital tool in lobbying governments to delay any introduction of health measures. This time round it's a few governments themselves who are creating the "scientific opinion is divided" pressure groups.

Scientist Who Spearheaded Attacks on Global Warming Science Also Directed $45 Million Tobacco Industry Effort to Hide Health Impacts of Smoking
Former National Academy of Sciences President Admits Being Paid $585,000 by Tobacco Companies
The National Environmental Trust hosted a press conference on April 13th to discuss new revelations in the May issue of Vanity Fair (now on newsstands) linking one of the most prominent scientific skeptics on global warming and his tactics to the three-decade tobacco industry conspiracy to hide the connection between smoking and lung ailments — an effort that has led to billions of dollars in court judgments and legislation against the industry.

We already have global warming:
And the next ice age wasn't due for about 100,000 years.
But we're not longer expecting it because human greenhouse emissions are greater than the difference in greenhouse gas concentrations between the bottom of an ice age and the top of an interglacial peroiod:

No it's not. As you can see from the CO2 concentrations during the ice ages compared to what they're doing now, this is very much not part of a natural cycle, which would be in a 100,000 year slow decline into an ice age, not the dramatic warming that we are seeing.

But at least it is clear that by far the majority believe that the current warming is anthorpogenic.
An analysis of the 928 research papers published 1993-2003 with the ISI keywords "global climate change" found that not one argued that the warming of the last 50 years is natural. (see: The Scientific Consensus on Climate Change).
And the scientific societies that have released statements support the consensus tool ... with the exception of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists.

Ptolemy’s model of the Earth as the centre of the Universe was used for almost 1500 years until the late 17th century when it began to be replaced by the models determined by Copernicus, Galileo and Kepler. No doubt Copernicus, Galileo and Kepler were also described as “not reputable scientists in their day. Where now are the people who might have thus described them? I am not a scientist myself and so I can only go by what I read, but it does not pay to be too dogmatic, and blindly accept the popular perception.
I can only go by what I see myself and during the past few years I have seen no sign of the weather getting warmer in my area. In fact last Winter we had a return to the icy conditions I have not seen for thirty years. Yes I know it’s a “global thing rather than a local one, but one has to trust one’s own experience .

As you say, it's a global thing not a local one.
If you take a complex steady state system and suddenly change one of the parameters then the result is a chaotic state until the new parameter has been integrated into the system and a new steady state emerges. During the period of instability local condition can move counter to expectation - what is important is the overall position.
We used to have a member here who claimed that deforestation was not happening in the world because he could see just as many trees as ever from his back door - you have to look beyond your local environs to see the big picture.

They publish almost no scientific research themselves, and spend most of their time making public appearances with the intention of casting doubt on anthropogenic global warming. There is no consistency among the various so-called climate change skeptics: some claim there is no evidence that the Earth is now getting warmer; others concede that global mean temperature is rising, but claim it's caused by the Sun or other natural processes; some so called skeptics will even concede the entire argument, but try to argue that stopping rising CO2 levels is impossible, and we need to adapt to the changes.
The variety of nuanced skeptic arguments do not have to be consistent, because they are not even attempting to present any scientific claims. Their strategy is just to further muddy the waters and confuse the public. If people watch TV, and idiots in the media decide fairness means inviting skeptics on discussions of climate change -- the audience sees another panel of so-called experts arguing and trying to talk over each other.....and the Exxon-funded deniers have done their job!

It's not really a valid comparison to start with, since they all lived before the modern scientific method and systems of peer review were established.

I don't know where you live; so I can't speak about the weather in your area, but it would be a mistake to interpret Global Warming as meaning that it's going to be warmer everywhere. In fact, global warming can be a direct cause of winter storms in some areas. For example: last winter's heavy snowfall throughout the U.S. seems to be directly connected to the rapid melt of Arctic sea ice. It certainly hasn't been as cold as usual in the Arctic, and the net effect was a reversal of normal Arctic winter conditions of low atmospheric air pressure. The Arctic high pressure system broke through the jet stream many times last winter, causing snowstorms as far south as Texas. http://climatesignals.org/2010/10/winte ... te-change/
Yes I know it’s a “global” thing rather than a local one, but one has to trust one’s own experience .
No, you can't trust "one's own experience" on this sort of issue. You have to gather a range of measurements around the world to arrive at the global mean temperature.......which btw has risen 1 degree celsius. That may not sound like much, but consider that every 1 degree rise in global average temperature represents a 7% increase in the amount of moisture being added to the Earth's atmosphere. It's because of this increase that there has been a marked increase in severe weather events around the world. Now consider that global average temperature will continue to rise somewhere between 4 and 6 degrees celsius by the end of this century, and that tells us that the effects will be catastrophic.....maybe the end of civilization or worse!

Oil funded climate change denial science has only one objective: create confusion! They don't have to prove a point -- they can say the Earth isn't getting warmer, than shift to - okay, it's getting warmer, but it's not caused by people -- next comes Richard Lindzen, who says yes, the Earth is getting warmer and yes it's manmade, but don't worry - atmospheric CO2 levels will plateau for some magical reason and the Earth won't get any warmer no matter how much crap we pump into the atmosphere -- and finally, we come to the 'yes, it's all true' strategy of Bjorn Lomborg - who says we may as well just keep doing what we're doing, and try to adapt to upcoming major changes in climate because there's nothing we can do to stop it!
Meanwhile, atmospheric CO2 levels keep rising every year; polar ice keeps getting thinner and ice caps keep shrinking; ocean acidification keeps increasing etc. etc., and yet somehow a multimillion dollar, multi-level disinformation campaign, run by the major oil and coal companies convinces a majority of people that there's no evidence for global warming!

They don't have to prove a point -- they can say the Earth isn't getting warmer, than shift to - okay, it's getting warmer, but it's not caused by people -- next comes Richard Lindzen, who says yes, the Earth is getting warmer and yes it's manmade, but don't worry - atmospheric CO2 levels will plateau for some magical reason and the Earth won't get any warmer no matter how much crap we pump into the atmosphere -- and finally, we come to the 'yes, it's all true' strategy of Bjorn Lomborg - who says we may as well just keep doing what we're doing, and try to adapt to upcoming major changes in climate because there's nothing we can do to stop it!
