With scientific data piling up showing that the world has reached its hottest-ever point in recorded history, global-warming skeptics are facing a high-profile defection from their ranks. Bjorn Lomborg, author of the influential tract "The Skeptical Environmentalist," has reversed course on the urgency of global warming, and is now calling for action on "a challenge humanity must confront."

The surface of the Earth cools by convection, not radiation.  The "Greenhouse Gas Hypothesis" is smashed with that one little fact.

there are a lot of people here who dont believe in global warming but I do... somewhat.

We release billions of tons of carbon into the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels like oil and coal which was previously locked away underground, it must have some effect.

Scientists believe the earth was a lot hotter during the dinosaur age because of carbon dioxide and other gasses released by increased valcanic activity. The carbon was locked away at the bottom of the oceans in the form of dead plankton, which eventualy turned into OIL which we are now burning. If they are right, we will be screwed.

No, we don't.  It was not "a lot hotter" during the ages of the dinosaurs.  3 whole degrees warmer.  



How much carbon is there in the world?



How much of that carbon has been released?



How much carbon remains?



What is the largest non-carbonate rock source of carbon?



When you find the correct answers to these questions, then I will reply.

Vic, you are correct.  After all, where would all that ground water in the Sahara Desert come from?  Or the whale bones there?  But even the great deserts of the Earth aren't due to CO2 but rather from orbital wobble with a period of ~20k years.

Yeah, go for the trivial solution!!!!  Well, planetary motion isn't trivial but that ball of fusing hydrogen 93 million miles away is our source of heat.  And most all energy (wind, hydroelectric, coal, gas, petroleum...).



The hypothetical idea carbon dioxide is responsible for the lapse rate is absurd.  All you need to do is look at composition of each distinct layer of the atmosphere to see there really isn't much of a difference in the "permanent gases" (discounting water vapor, a GAS which exists primarily in the Troposphere but it also forms noctilucent clouds in the Mesosphere).  Then look at the distinction of each layer of the atmosphere, the predominant heat rejection method is logical.



The Troposphere is so named because it mixes.  And convection rules its heat rejection mode.  The Stratosphere, again as the name implies, is stratified with the coldest being at the end of the Tropopause.  So radiation is the primary heat rejection mode.  Above of the Stratopause, there is the Mesosphere.  This layer is also a mixing layer but being the middle atmosphere, its name is on location and not nature.  And it has a lapse rate, meaning the primary heat rejection mode is again convection. And there can be clouds, the noctilucent  (night light) type but they only exist in the summer months.



So now, work up a 4 dimensional computational fluid dynamics model with an overlay of a finite element model for the boundary layers where mode changes happen.  And FEM for the radiation heat transfer. Set boundary conditions as varied as the Earth's, then change the composition.

His take on it as I can sum it up is, there isn't enough data to substantiate such claims, so then why are they beating me over the head with it, trying to get me on board?

Recorded history?

Meh.

How about considering the millenniums of unrecorded history before mankind existed when the earth was far warmer than it is today and there were no icecaps at all ?

Not to mention the multitude of ice age/heating cycles throughout geological time during which there was no human activity at all.

I disagree.  The climate fluctuates to warmer and cooler periods.  That is what I consider to be normal.  If the temperature became relatively constant for an extended period of time, I would consider that to be a change in the normal cycle.

Idiot the earth warming is fairly obvious, That it is our fault it is warming and not just a part of the natural warming and cooling cycles is not and can not be answered so easy.

Sure - it probably has SOME effect indeed.   But given the politicized, propagandized, and perversified nature of how progressives make their argument (and lie, cheat and steal to "support" that argument with questionable or outright fabricated data sets) destroys the entire argument.  We don't know if the "effect" actually warms the earth, cools it, or just acts as another toxin to the existing lifeforms on Earth.    And given their record of "scientific research," we'll never know (but they'll continue to speculate that the ONLY solution involves taking America back to the pre-industrial age and paying for the fix via tax dollars, no matter what).

Try to find the single statement of truth in a pathological liar's fiction novel, and you'll indeed find the Truth about Global Warming.

1. The earth doesn't "cool." It dissipates heat.

2. The earth dissipates heat via both convection and radiation. If the earth did not radiate at all, you wouldn't see it as visible light is a form of radiation. It may be 99% convection 1% radiation, but some of it is radiation. So you are logically incorrect.
