I am going back and forth with a science teacher here.?? I personally don't 
really argue that global climate change is occurring.?? It happens 
constantly.?? I just maintain that we don't have much to do with it.?? 
When?Mt. Pinatubo (?) puts more carbon dioxide and other noxious gases into 
the air in a single eruption than man has in his entire history, it kind of 
makes me think we are not a significant contributor to climate change.

It's like this.? If I go dump a 5 gallon bucket of fresh water into the 
ocean, do I reduce the overall salinity of the ocean??? Well, yes.?? 
Significantly??? Not by any reasonable measure, no.

The teacher hasn't had a response, though, to my question that if my SUV is 
responsible for global warming, why is Mars warmer, too?

Subject: [Homestead] Global warming??



I know someone on the list is knowledgeable about this subject, I am not.  I 
don't know if this person has real credibility or is a kook, but he is 
quoting 
and using measures found by credible scientists.  I am not making a point, I 
don't know enough.  I'm just, now, more skeptical than I was before

........"Don Easterbrook, a geologist at Western Washington University, says, 
"It's practically a slam dunk that we are in for about 30 years of global 
cooling," as the sun enters a particularly inactive phase. His examination of 
warming and cooling trends over the past four centuries shows an "almost 
exact 
correlation" between climate fluctuations and solar energy received on Earth, 
while showing almost "no correlation at all with CO2."...........

......An analytical chemist who works in spectroscopy and atmospheric 
sensing, 
Michael J. Myers of Hilton Head, S. C., declared, "Man-made global warming is 
junk science," explaining that worldwide manmade CO2 emission each year 
"equals 
about 0.0168% of the atmosphere's CO2 concentration ... This results in a 
0.00064% increase in the absorption of the sun's radiation. This is an 
insignificantly small number.".........

........Other international scientists have called the manmade warming theory 
a 
"hoax," a "fraud" and simply "not credible."...........

........For nearly 30 years, Professor Christy has been in charge of NASA's 
eight weather satellites that take more than 300,000 temperature readings 
daily 
around the globe. In a paper co-written with Dr. Douglass, he concludes that 
while manmade emissions may be having a slight impact, "variations in global 
temperatures since 1978 ... cannot be attributed to carbon 
dioxide."............
