Article: Conservative agenda aims to kill science in United States
|
Quote:Not in the way it has over the past 100 years or so. Yes, because we should base our political decisions on an incorrect cartoon. Up until 1979, there were no temperature records that were truly global. The measurements since then vary from month to month more than the supposed warming. Basing a massive government control and expenditure plan on a very short term history is the height of insanity. Secondly, the cartoon doesn't show the Medieval warm period, or the little ice age, both of which were known from historical records. Nor does it show the drop in temperature between 1940 and the 1970s which was significant enough that scientists were speculating on the next glaciation. I doubt there would be such talk of such if the temperature drop was less than 1/2 degree, but that's not in the cartoon. Thirdly, the cartoon tacks on pure speculation onto the end. Hopefully you understand that future predictions from proven failures of computer models are not reality. More importantly, the ice core records, which are the only records available from before 1800 are averaged over 50 to 200 years, so any short term changes are averaged out. You can't say that the temperature hasn't changed as fast in the past, because there are no short term records. The ice core records are very good, and using O18 as a temperature proxy agrees with what we know from other sources, but they are not detailed. "Why should I give information to you when all you want to do is find something wrong with it?" |
