It hasn’t been proven, after years of all this talk… just bounced around by the media and self-important celebrities and a few scientists with an agenda.
It was all started by Al Gore; which should’ve made any rational person take pause for thought and their own research.
Global warming is either a problem, or it isn’t. Just at the basics, if there is a warming trend as we’re being told, that will gather velocity… why the nonconformity of April temperatures being lower than normal, midwestern winters being harsher.
And, now, our climate system isn’t accumulating Joules (some measurement formula of radiative imbalance) as quickly as it should. In fact, the scientists in this particular venue came up with their formula/theory and made their predictions based on the fact that upper oceans were accumulating heat in the 1990’s. And now their calculations are off — darned if those oceans haven’t cooled back down now!!!
I’ll make my own prediction — as any supposed “proof” disappears or becomes inconsistent, belief and media attention on global warming will not dissipate. Instead, mankind will begin congratulating the “believers” on their successful efforts and policies to reverse the harmful trend; paying no attention, meanwhile, to those pointing out meterological data from 50-100 years ago that shows similar scenarios, or whatever you want to call them.
It really doesn’t matter, just coin your own three- or four-syllable term.
AH — just found some good news!! http://epw.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?FuseAction=Minority.Blogs&ContentRecord_id=927b9303-802a-23ad-494b-dccb00b51a12&Region_id=&Issue_id=
