scientist predict the climate over next 100yrs.

they cannot even predict the weather for next week..i call BS!

What a crock...assumption, piled on assumption, stacked upon shakey predictions....but there are too many people on the planet..maybe we should start thinning them out a bit?

Isn't that exactly what Hitler said? I sure hope that is some sort of sick attempt at humor, or else I would advise you to keep away from our college campuses.

Obviously you haven't been near one in a while, as evidenced by your propensity to spew insults on this board rather than offer credible scientific rebuttals to the evidence at hand.

I sure hope doing that that helps you fit in better in your world there in Dallas.

Hitler was more specific than drgnbkr. Hitler didn't like Jews, Gypsies, Russians, French, English and other non-Aryans.

That was my attempt at sick humor.

From the article, "Glaciers, already receding, will disappear. Epic floods will hit some areas....... Humans will face widespread water shortages(?)..."
We've had the coldest April down here in Houston in years.



P.S. I think sarcasm was what drgnbkr was attempting. Not humor.

He's too uptight to appreciate the concept of sarcasm.....I'm sure it gets old being the lone defender of Algore...

I would take that with a definite grain of salt. That should read as nothing more than a prediction model. If you go to another scientist or group of scientists, they will have a different model.

Even if humans are having a noticeable impact on global warming, there'd be very little we could do to reverse that right now unless the world decides it can peel back time a couple thousand years and cut population by about 75%. However, Doomsday sells.

Geologically and climatologically speaking, we are a fresh out of the latest ice age and are now in what some would call a natural warming period. If the past climatological history of the Earth is any indication, we will again enter a cooling period at some point. Looking at what history has revealed, you will see an ebban flow to the Earth's climate.

There's obviously no way to accurately predict weather patterns and effects 100 years out. Meteorologists can't accurately predict more than 10 days out usually. If nuclear war should break out in the next century or we have a massive seismic/volcanic event, for example, all of these models will be rendered pretty worthless.

To quote our little green friend Yoda...

"Always in motion, the future is."

2080: Between 1.1 and 3.2 billion people experience water shortages and up to 600 million go hungry.

I'm pretty sure that's already happening...

You're probably right about that...sadly

great idea lets start with the aggies and sooners:D

I predict that there will be "rain and snow and bright sunshine" over the next 100years. :rolleyes:

Now, give me the Nobel.

double post. sorry.

Excellent catch! :cool: And my dog does not eat purple flowers.

Hey if I was uptight I would have to be firing insults at folks to feel important about my viewpoint.

Sarcasm? Hey I just appreciate how open-minded you guys are to have all seen Inconvenient Truth before making uninformed comments about the science behind global warming on this board. I'm not sure what sarcasm is, so you will have to fill me in on that ;)

Science is not like sports. You can't root for an equation to come out a certain way. It either does or it doesn't. I guess that's why it's easier for some folks to attack people rather than facts - because they know they can't really attack the facts, which is why they run from them.

BTW, have you guys all seen the film yet?

Notice all the global warming predictions are 80 to 100 years off. Have you ever seen a 5 year prediction? I think they do this so you can't say they were wrong. Everyone seeing the 100 year prediction will either be dead or very old when the time comes around.

I've already told you I wasted my time watching it...and you, thus far have failed to read the opinions of scientists which take an opposite view from yours...There is no point in continuing this argument as there is no agreement among scientists as to who is at fault....most believe that we are in a normal cycle..most, that is who don't have a global warming agenda to sell.
