John Daly. (1943-2004) John dedicated his life to the study of the global climate and was one of the leading experts in the field. John was a gifted scientist and was very good at presenting complex scientific data in a manner that was easy to understand. His work is world renowned. At his site you will find hours and hours of reading regarding the truth about global warming.

"Some years from now a future generation, having survived real threats like international terrorism or weapons of mass destruction may look back on this episode in human history as a passing aberration that gripped much of the Western world. By then, fossil fuels may be mostly depleted, the cost of energy may be held in bounds only through massive investments in nuclear power or yet unforeseen technologies, and the chief worry may be that of a coming ice age still looming as our mild interglacial period draws to a close."

Green Spirit - Patrick Moore Patrick Moore, Ph.D., is a founding member and former president of Greenpeace. He left the organization in 1986 when he realized the movement he started had been hijacked by politicos and people using the movement for a source of income. He now fights junk science about our environment because it steals time, money, and support from real environmental concerns. Green Spirit acts as a consultant to entities seeking to learn more about environmental impact.
All our science, measured against reality, is primitive and childlike — and yet it is the most precious thing we have.
About me:
THE EARTH IS FINE. AND THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT.
Is there any part of that you don't understand?
The idea of global warming really isn't bunk. But I wanted to be sure I have your attention. It is however "junk science", designed to scare the hell out of you.
This is not to imply that global warming doesn't exist or that we shouldn't try to protect our environment. It also doesn't mean that we should ignore pollution or alternative fuel issues. Let me make that perfectly clear. It's generally accepted Earth has increased in average temperature in the last few hundred years. Radiative forcing, the process by which solar energy is reflected from gases in the atmosphere, is very real. Does that mean that it will lead to the end of civilization in the next several years? No. The goal here is to combat alarmism over global warming. The alarmists' claim that it's caused by industrial pollution and yuppies driving SUVs is complete non-sense. They say it is our actions alone that caused this increase in the Earth's temperature, that this has never happened before, there is no end in sight, and that it will certainly destroy us. And they want your support and money to fight it.
Pay close attention to the words, I get many reactions to the content here, everyone misses the words catastrophic and alarmism.
By no means should we be free to pollute as much as we like, or make as much trash, or use up all the fuel. And by no means is the information here meant to imply that man-made disasters do not occur or that we should not try to prevent them, or that we should not protect our planet. We do not have license to destroy our home. We should be trying to make our environment as clean and enjoyable as possible. But we must realize that mother nature is in control. Our actions are highly insignificant. We need not panic and we certainly should not allow hysteria to drive public policy.
In 1995 the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change reported that 2700 scientists agree that CO2 emissions caused by the excessive use of fossil fuels causes global warming. Subsequently a petition was signed by over 17,000 scientists questioning that conclusion. Here are some items that should be considered.
Fact: Ice core samples and other geological evidence indicates the average temperature of the Earth has not changed in over 800,000 years.
Fact: Earth's temperature follows cyclical changes of the Sun lasting about 100,000 years.
Fact: Earth spends 90% of its time in an "ice-age."
Fact: Oceans hold 50 times more CO2 than the atmosphere. Much of the scientific community now agrees that it is not an increase in CO2 that causes the Earth to warm but that warming of the Earth causes increases in CO2, or both.
Fact: so-called "greenhouse gasses" do not behave like a greenhouse. The claim is CO2 and other gasses trap incoming solar energy and heat the atmosphere. Actual greenhouses do not work that way. Global Climate Change is becoming the more accepted scientific term for what is happening.
Fact: Earth is in its most stable climatic state ever. Changes in the climate were far more drastic in Earth's first 4 billion years.
Fact: Natural events can affect Earth far more than humans. Tephra particles from Krakatoa's eruption in 1883 spread throughout the stratosphere and lingered for years. An orange color to the sky and halo around the sun were visible. Global temperatures were lowered by 1.2°C. Weather patterns continued to be chaotic for years, and temperatures did not return to normal until 1888.
Fact: Geologic evidence indicates that about 15 million years ago Earth was about 4.7°C warmer than it is today, most certainly not caused by industrial pollution.
Fact: The current interglacial period (the warm time now versus an ice age) is about 11,000 years into its cycle. Current temperatures are virtually identical to the previous period about 100,000 year ago.
Fact: water vapor is a "greenhouse gas". Water accounts for 2% of the atmosphere compared to CO2 accounting for only .04% and is more reflective. Thus water vapor is responsible for around 70% of the atmosphere's greenhouse effect.
Fact: Our sea level is lower today than it was in the 1840s.
Fact: Measured temperature increases appear predominantly at the surface and not in the atmosphere as would be expected if radiative forcing (global warming) were driving the increases.
Fact: Human activity does appear to be adding to the total CO2 in the atmosphere, at a rate of 1 molecule per 100,000 per year, so little that it's barely worth mentioning.
Fact: Following the discovery of an error in the NASA GISS data in August of 2007, NASA records now indicate that 1934 was the warmest year on record, and not 1998 as some had claimed. And new data shows a cooling trend since 2002 as expected and in-line with solar activity.
The Sun and Earth are bigger than all of us. It's highly improbable that we could do anything to significantly change our climate on a cataclysmic scale. Natural events such as volcanoes and forest fires produce more CO2 than human activity.
The Kyoto Protocol, which went into effect in February 2005 was intended reduce CO2 emissions. Subscribing nations are bound by law to meet a mandated decrease in CO2 output by 2012 and carrying beyond. So far the Kyoto Protocol has wasted almost $5159 billion (U.S.) and counting. Most now agree they cannot reach the goals. And the result is CO2 emissions have been reduced enough to only account for a potential .000004°C. That's potential mind you, not even measured, just our best guess. Government plans such as the Kyoto Protocol and anything spouted by Al Gore or Hitlery Clinton amount to nothing more than global socialization of all activities that touch fossil fuels, will waste billions of dollars, and will do virtually nothing to address the issue behind them.
In the last 100 years we've seen an estimated increase of about .5°C and we've had the greatest improvements in the standards of living in the history of mankind. Plus, most of that increase occurred BEFORE 1940, ahead of the bulk of increase in CO2. Earth is in a period of its greatest bio diversity. Were it not for the cycle of these changes we would still be enduring an ice age. Earth has been through 17 ice ages, the idea that the cycle will now be broken due to the actions of humans is completely illogical.
There is negligible scientific evidence to suggest that natural disasters and severe storms are more frequent as a result from global warming. Actually that activity is right on par. NO, hurricane Katrina was not the result of global warming. The severity may be increasing and the research is still coming in on that issue, but again there would be nothing we can do about it. It's purely logical that the number of casualties and value of destruction from weather disasters will increase, because our population and cost of living continues to rise.
Most people learn about global warming from reports they've heard on the news. Here's an example. Brian Williams on the NBC Nightly News reported... "New evidence tonight to bolster the argument of those who say global warming has reached a fever pitch. For years a team of scientists has kept their own watch as hundreds of species of frogs, toads, and salamanders in Central and South America have slowly disappeared. They now conclude global warming is responsible. They say climate change apparently increases the incidence of a fatal skin fungus. Several other experts disagree but tonight they say what is happening to the frogs should be a warning sign to us all."
Notice he didn't mention who these scientists are. Also no report of how they came to their conclusion or where we can look for more information. He uses words like "fever pitch" to drum up the excitement. Notice also the word "apparently", which by the way does not mean fact. And several others disagree? try all others disagree. When you claim to have scientific evidence for something you better be prepared to defend your position, there will always be a real scientist there to check your work. But about once every 2 weeks they report just such a story.
Most environmental hysteria focuses on anti-corportism and anti-capitalism, and has little to do with actual science. While those involved use the very things that are a product of corporatism and capitalism, cars, computers, Internet, electricity, and oil.
We've now had four assessments from the IPCC and still the science is inconclusive. The third leaves serious questions and clearly states we haven't enough information. The fourth assessment addresses other components and describes how little we know about the affect of some of them. It states our knowledge of the influence of the sun is barely understood.
"Nobody is interested in solutions if they don't think there's a problem. Given that starting point, I believe it is appropriate to have an over-representation of factual presentations on how dangerous it is, as a predicate for opening up the audience to listen to what the solutions are, and how hopeful it is that we are going to solve this crisis." - Al Gore, Interview with Al Revere of Grist Magazine (global warming proponent publication)
If he can't tell the truth why should we believe him? Answer...we shouldn't.
I'm all for free speech. But don't bother joining my friends list just to leave nasty comments. I also intend on keeping things here polite and organized. So I require approval for comments. Comments with dozens of glitter graphics will not be approved, what a big mess. I get quite a number of messages, and a ton of hate mail. It's a lot to sort through. I read everything, but may not get around to a reply, sorry. It takes a lot of time to keep this going, keeping up on the data. Thanks for understanding. I will not buy ring tones or download a tracker. I am not a Rrepublican."At times one remains faithful to a cause only because its opponents do not cease to be insipid." - Friedrich Nietzsche
On June 8, 1967, a date which will live in infamy, a United States ship, the USS Liberty, was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the State of Israel. Thirty-four American sailors died and 174 were wounded. There was no retaliation, no honest investigation, and no assistance from American forces. Israel got away with cold blooded murder.
On September 11, 2001, planes struck the two WTC towers, and shortly thereafter both towers fell. But did you know that a third large building also collapsed on September 11 at 5:20 in the afternoon and that this building, WTC 7, wasn't even hit by a plane? What could have caused such an unusual collapse, which had all the characteristics of a controlled demolition? Again, there has been no honest investigation.
If the Israelis got away with deliberately slaughtering innocent Americans on the USS Liberty, then what's to stop them from doing it again? What other terrorist crimes against humanity might they also have gotten away scot-free with? Click to learn more.
Thanks so very much for your friendship! Love, seek, and speak the truth!
2 things heat the earth. The Sun and heat from core. It's all about the CARBON TAX you will soon learn about and start to pay within the next 4 years. THE NEW WORLD ORDER
We hope you're enjoying a great and
relaxing weekend from Tulsa, OK !!!
Where it is obvious the time has come
to address "Global Warming" head-on,
as it is snowed here yesterday!!!!!!!!
And, not just a little bit, "big time" !!!
Where is Al Gore when you need
him most?.... ROFLMBO!!!!!!!!!
I made greenpeace a myspace friend. I am having a blast responding to their bulletins. I invite everyone to join me. I don't know how long until they boot me, but Al Gore is next.
All I can say is, think about your friends & family & people in need all year round, & buy people presents whenever you feel like it & when you can afford too. Stay cool friends. PS you can download a couple of free tracks on my web site www. zapproyce. com Peace & Love Zapp
Wishing you all the best from Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, U.S.A..... HOPE YOU'RE ENJOYING A FANTASTIC WEEKEND !!!
I hadn't really planned on anymore graphics that might be construed to be of a 'negative' nature, but on the other hand, I have no intentions of letting President Elect B. 'HUSSEIN' get by with a whole lot either. And, the 'slam' he made in his first 'news conference' Friday on Nancy Reagan was too much to pass up!!!
Good to have you as a friend! So great to see the internet in action this way, shortening distances between people.
I hope all's well with you and that you enjoy checking out my web site some time.
