Ron, I liked you as a president..as an actor but not as a scientist! When instead of facing our coming problems head on we start finding people to agree with the theory that "it doesn't exist" we as a lifeform are in lots a trouble. The only characterisitcs of erruptions that cause a "cooling" as you call it is when the ash fills enough of the atmosphere to actually block the sun. If we know the amount of CO2 has risen drastically, then I ask you what do you think caused it? Since foilage and vegetaion assist in cleaning our air....how do you..President Ronald Reagan....fix it?

Alright. I know. I'm always wrong. I always have been, ever since I can remember." Ronald Reagan --as Drake McHugh in KINGS ROW (1942).

Dr. Watchful Eye,

Its not "cooling", its COOLING. And it has always happened following the catastrophic eruptions throughout history.

The facts are, methane released from decomposing vegitation, manure in the cow pastures, and water vapor in the air....... are shown to contribute MORE in many studies to the global warming that exists currently. Water vapor stores more heat than any of the other elements, including CO2.

Further, I've done extensive research in regards to placement of the thermo's that take the measurements. Many of which do not conform to the rules by the NWS and NOAA. Many are too close to heat sources (such as solid structures), not the required height off the ground, etc. With measurable temps rising by only some hundreths of degrees celsuis a year, its troubling that those who measure it.. do not do it correctly.

I'm absolutely convinced that the rise in CO2 is at the VERY LEAST, a fault of man. i'll not deny that. but it makes up possibly the smallest of reasons for the heating that is occurring. Water vapor, methane, increased solar activity, among other reasons increase at a much higher level, and are nearly out of our control.

This whole idea that we're actually seeing a drastic rise in temps may be overblown as well. Each year, new guages are placed throughout the world in places they never existed before.. which could influence it dramatically in either direction, depending on their locations. Then we also have only been recording temps for roughly a hundred years. And as stated in the Time Magazine article, from the 1940's until the 1970's we experienced global cooling. Were we not increasing CO2 levels at that point?

But yeah... these last two hurricane seasons have me convinced. We're in for it! :lmao:

And with the cooling of the eastern pacific ocean....

I dunno. You can post fact after fact supporting it... I can post fact after fact showing why its laughable.

I haven't had much time to see what all is on there, but it was recommended to me by a friend.
