Carbon warming my A***

[johnnyedge]

Carbon warming has been invented by the government! Why? Think about it, oil will soon be running low, so, to justify the cost of alternative methods of producing energy they have had to make oil a dirty word, an undesirable fuel source due to the fact, according to the "experts", it is warming the planet up.
If you look back in world climate history at the dramatic changes in world climate you will find that it is linked to the solar activity of the sun and nothing else, as the sun goes through various phases of high solar storm activity then our surface temperature eventually rises and falls accordingly, so why have the government not told us this simply fact?
If the government said, ok from now on you will all have to pay more for your gas and electric because we are investing billions in alternative energy due to the fact oil is running low and it's had its day there would be riots in the streets. How clever to blame it all on global warming so we all feel we are doing our bit to save the planet even if it costs a whole lot more to produce the energy we so desperately depend on.
I am not an expert in this field by any means, just a Joe blogs who has looked a little deeper into the facts available and found that as ever we are all treated like mushrooms. (kept in the dark and fed loads of s***).
One simply fact to remember is that the oceans produce around 98% of the worlds Co2 every day and have done for billions of years, perhaps we should cover them in polythene to stop them warming up the planet?.

Huh? I am a bit confused. I always though that the oceans absorbed the carbon dioxide, not produced it.
Oh well, you live and learn.

i dont know if the ocean absorbs or produces co2, but other than that i agree wholeheartedly that the government and media are in a conspiracy to make us think the way they want us to think. yeah, i know, im paranoid .... but as they say, it dont mean they aint after you!

So if you're not an expert why are you not listening to the people that are?

They say that's rot!

In fact the Royal Society - one of the world's great scientific society has even a specific page dedicated to saying that it's rot

ZacMasters objection comes under Misleading argument number 4

They state that more than half the global warming we are experiencing is re result of Human activity.

Of course it's not just the RS
there's Nasa, the American Environmental Protection Agency, National Oceanic and Atmospheric administration American and Candian Geophysical Union and many others.

I know maybe it's a global conspiracy between all the politicians and all the scientists!

Or mabe it's true.

Ockham's razor anybody?

As one expert said recently - Greenland is so called because once it was...GREEN. In other words it may be covered in snow and ice at the moment but it wasn't always so and yes the ice is melting round there but it's all part of the natural cycle. I dare say Co2 emissions do make a contribution to climate change but they are certainly not the sole cause.
