3 Weeks Until Doomsday

[Weatherman2020]

On January 25th, 2006, while at the Sundance film festival, screening “An Inconvenient Truth”, Al Gore said this as chronicled in an article by CBS News:

The former vice president came to town for the premiere of “An Inconvenient Truth,” a documentary chronicling what has become his crusade since losing the 2000 presidential election: Educating the masses that global warming is about to toast our ecology and our way of life.

Gore has been saying it for decades, since a college class in the 1960s convinced him that greenhouse gases from oil, coal and other carbon emissions were trapping the sun’s heat in the atmosphere, resulting in a glacial meltdown that could flood much of the planet.

Americans have been hearing it for decades, wavering between belief and skepticism that it all may just be a natural part of Earth’s cyclical warming and cooling phases.

And politicians and corporations have been ignoring the issue for decades, to the point that unless drastic measures to reduce greenhouse gases are taken within the next 10 years, the world will reach a point of no return, Gore said.

He sees the situation as “a true planetary emergency.”

“If you accept the truth of that, then nothing else really matters that much,” Gore said in an interview with The Associated Press. “We have to organize quickly to come up with a coherent and really strong response, and that’s what I’m devoting myself to.”


Well, the 10 years are about up, by now, warming should have reached “planetary emergency levels”…

Gore and his timeline may be wrong, but look at the glaciers they are our biggest indicator.

just 24 days to.... laugh hilariously at the alarmists and their high priest of doom and gloom.. Just one more failed prediction by morons and their cult leader.

24 days to Al Gore’s ’10 years to save the planet’ and ‘point of no return’ planetary emergency deadline

 

[Weatherman2020]

That's what happens when ice ages end.
Just 15,000 years ago Chicago was under ice and the Great Lakes did not exist.

If it were like that today the doomsdayers would say that the melting of that ice spelled doom for Mother Gia.

Gore and his timeline may be wrong, but look at the glaciers they are our biggest indicator.

Ice melts whenever the temperature gets over 32DegF. It can happen for 20 days a year at 33deg or 2 days at 42deg.. Same amount (approx) of melt. Glaciers were doomed before the Industrial Age.

Unless you'd rather have a climate where the glaciers are GROWING? Is that what you want??

Now BB...you know they'll just say they got the time frame a little off and it hasn't happened YET.

If it ever happened, and it was 400,000 years from now some moronic liberal will say "Al Gore said this would happen".

Theory falsification includes time frames.. He has missed in both areas of prediction...

Of course, but since when has the truth ever been required for liberals?

Which emits more carbon dioxide (CO2): Earth’s volcanoes or human activities? Research findings indicate unequivocally that the answer to this frequently asked question is human activities. However, most people, including some Earth scientists working in fields outside volcanology, are surprised by this answer. The climate change debate has revived and reinforced the belief, widespread among climate skeptics, that volcanoes emit more CO2 than human activities [Gerlach, 2010; Plimer, 2009]. In fact, present-day volcanoes emit relatively modest amounts of CO2, about as much annually as states like Florida, Michigan, and Ohio.

Volcanic emissions include CO2 from erupting magma and from degassing of unerupted magma beneath volcanoes. Over time, they are a major source for restoring CO2 lost from the atmosphere and oceans by silicate weathering, carbonate deposition, and organic carbon burial [Berner, 2004]. Global estimates of the annual present-day CO2 output of the Earth’s degassing subaerial and submarine volcanoes range from 0.13 to 0.44 billion metric tons (gigatons) per year [Gerlach, 1991; Allard, 1992; Varekamp et al., 1992; Sano and Williams, 1996; Marty and Tolstikhin, 1998]; the preferred global estimates of the authors of these studies range from 0.15 to 0.26 gigaton per year. Other aggregated volcanic CO2 emission rate estimates—published in 18 studies since 1979 as subaerial, arc, and mid-oceanic ridge estimates—are consistent with the global estimates. For more information, see the background, table, and references in the online supplement to this Eos issue (AGU - American Geophysical Union).

Anthropogenic CO2 emissions—responsible for a projected 35 gigatons of CO2 in 2010 [Friedlingstein et al., 2010]— clearly dwarf all estimates of the annual present-day global volcanic CO2 emission rate. Indeed, volcanoes emit significantly less CO2 than land use changes (3.4 gigatons per year), light-duty vehicles (3.0 gigatons per year, mainly cars and pickup trucks), or cement production (1.4 gigatons per year). Instead, volcanic CO2 emissions are comparable in the human realm to the global CO2 emissions from flaring of waste gases (0.20 gigaton per year) or to the CO2 emissions of about 2 dozen full-capacity 1000-megawatt coal-fired power stations (0.22 gigaton per year), the latter of which constitute about 2% of the world’s coal-fired electricity-generating capacity. More meaningful, perhaps, are the comparable annual CO2 emissions of nations such as Pakistan (0.18 gigaton), Kazakhstan (0.25 gigaton), Poland (0.31 gigaton), and South Africa (0.44 gigaton). (CO2 emissions data are for 2008 [International Energy Agency, 2009a, 2009b]; see also http://cdiac.ornl.gov/trends/ emis/meth_reg.html, US Environmental Protection Agency cleanenergy/energy-and-you/affect/coal .html, and UEA: Interactions between Ocean Biogeochemistry, Physics and Climate lequere/co2/carbon_budget.htm.)

Just have to love it when really stupid people post on issues they know absolutely nothing about. Lassie, you are about as dumb as a brick. Had you bothered to do the slightest research you would have seen how incorrect that silly picture is. Instead, you just flap your ignorant yap, mindless and heedless of what the truth is.

Before the Industrial age, was the Little Ice Age. And the glaciers were growing at that time.

The EPA? LOL Dude nobody buys what the EPA is selling....unless of course it's an idiot loon like you

 

[Old Rocks]

My goodness, you are so blindingly stupid you don't even know the differance between the USGS and the EPA? Yes, I guess you are.

The EPA is referenced in your post, stupid. Now shush, I have a cold and am in no mood for liberal moon battyness

 

[Old Rocks]

As is the AGU, CDIC, and the UEA. You see, that is how scientific articles are done, you state up front where your information came from, so the readers can referance it themselves if they choose to. Instead, you prefer sources that give you a flat statement that is totally a lie, and you repeat that lie, not caring in the slightest that it is a lie. Typical modus operandi for dumb fucks.

Awwwnow you're all mad, watch the blood pressure or ya might stroke

 

[Old Rocks]

What you really mean is that you are not in the mood to learn anything. Of course, that has been the state of your mind since you were five years old.

When are you going to begin posting sources for your flap yap, instead of silly one liner rightwingnut mantras?

Not angry at all, used to dealing with the intellects of five year olds. I am a grandfather, after all.
