Lessons of the Quaternary [Debunking Global Warming]

Do No Evil – One of the world's leading journals focusing on the geology, geomorphology, geography, archaeology, soil science, palaeobotany, palaeontology, and palaeoclimatology of the Quaternary Period ... titled Quaternary Science Reviews. Three articles have been published recently ... we are calling the "Lessons of the Quaternary."

I repeat: No actual scientist would ever be willing to talk that way.

A clear analysis shows this article to be about three specific locations, with inferences about sea surface temperatures in one location based on evidence from a lake. This neither makes nor breaks a GLOBAL warming theory. Certain areas will be colder at times due to shifts in the jet stream and the ocean currents due in turn to higher solar absorption/lower radiation from the surface, due to changed chemical composition of the atmosphere, higher particulate matter, and our changes to land surfaces. The shrinkage of nearly all American glaciers, north and south, the western European ones, and the Himalayan ones is undeniable. There are aerial views of this on many sites.

"...with inferences about sea surface temperatures in one location based on evidence from a lake..."

What you seem not to grasp is it was a time study ranging over thousands of years, much like drilling for ice core samples. The lake in question used to be part of the Atlantic Ocean. The peer-reviewed study suggests the anthropogenic global warming scare is bunk as well as indicates a lack of "scientific consensus" so often referred to by Al Gore. In other words: climate change is natural.

There are aerial views of growing glaciers as well even here in North America. The Urals study indicates glacial coverage pretty much is normal, which would not be possible if Al Gore's theory were true.

Of course climate change is natural. We also are natural, did you think Gore or anyone else has suggested that things we do are supernatural? The article does not mention this lake as having been part of the ocean, and refers specifically to temperatures off the coast of Guatemala.

The criticism remains--three sites. In ten minutes I could give you the names of fifteen glaciers on different continents that have retreated seriously since we have been making pictures from space. With a few hours, I could probably name 100.

What you and others seem not to understand is that in a global warming or cooling the exact spot where you are standing could actually do the opposite of the trend.

"shrinkage of nearly all American glaciers"

Because they have been melting since their creation.

wellll... no. depending on your perspective, you could say that glaciers grew... until they began to thaw... so they didn't begin by melting but by freezing, so the opposite of what you say, is true... get it?

Nonsense. The spot where I am now sitting has been glaciated at least twice.

Some Glaciers Growing Due to Climate Change, Study Suggests

Brian Handwerk

for National Geographic News

September 11, 2006

Some glaciers in Pakistan's Upper Indus River Basin appear to be growing, and a new study suggests that global warming is the cause.

The glacial growth bucks a global trend of shrinking ice fields (photos: melting glaciers) and may shed light on the regionally varying effects of Earth's changing climate.

Meteorological data compiled over the past century show that winter temperatures have been rising in parts of the Western Himalaya, Karakoram, and Hindu Kush mountain ranges (map of Pakistan).

. . . Temporary Trend?

The data also reveal another climatic oddityâ;;a change in the basin's diurnal temperature range, or the span between daytime high and nighttime low temperatures for a given day.

it is completely impossible for humans to impact the environment on earth in any fashion... when are you libs going to get over this?

Are you insane ????Teddy Roosevelt was a man who loves nature, and as such created a National Park only read what happened there due to man's interference, and if you don't think an asphalt road gets hotter than what is natural beside it, then right, man has no impact
