Boss
Take a Memo:
Look, Boss, apparently you think that the deniar nuts have the science right on this. They most certainly do not. First, until 2000, they stated that there was no warming happening, in spite of the obvious evidence there was. Now they are claiming that adding an additional 40+% of CO2 to the atmosphere, an additional 250% of CH4, and many industrial gases that have no natural analogs, and are thousands of times as effective of a GHG as CO2 is not increasing the heat that the atmosphere retains.OK, Jon, demonstrate how that is so? Both depend on GHGs, primarily water vapor, CO2, and CH4. What is stated that if you increase any of those, you increase the amount of heat that the atmosphere retains. Paleontological evidence shows that to be true. When there was more CO2 in the atmosphere, the earth was a warmer place. When there was less, we had ice ages.
Now having the Earth warmer is not a bad thing of itself. However, having that change take place in a short period of time is a very bad thing. Especially on an earth with over 7 billion people to feed, and an agriculture very vulneable to changes in temperature and precipitation.
There is no change taking place in a short period of time. Relative surface air temperatures have only risen 1 degree in 100 years. This 'alarming' change is what we are spending trillions of dollars on and seeking trillions more from capitalism and industry in imposing more stringent guidelines.
More greenhouse effect is not a bad thing. It increases plant life which means more people can be fed per acre of farmland. Over time, deserts can even become grasslands. Forests become thicker and more lush. These are hardly results which are detrimental to humans.
You want to know the real facts? Go to physicists, and here is the American Institute of Physics website on this very issue.
The Carbon Dioxide Greenhouse Effect
Most recent studies show there has been no warming for over 18 years now. This has prompted your 'movement' to stop calling it "global warming" and start calling it "climate change." You may not like it that "denier nuts" are pointing out this Great Pause in global warming, in spite of all that evil CO2 up there from evil corporations, but statistics don't lie.
I don't need links to organizations who promote climate change nonsense. I am fully aware of the billions we spend each year in research grants and subsidies for these people to continue their gravy train, so it's not surprising to find them arguing vociferously for those efforts to continue.
