People, you work hard for your &lt;br /&gt; cash, so be happy consumers and help the economy. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now for more science. The ultraviolet irradiance of the Sun is known &lt;br /&gt; to vary widely through factors of 2 to 10 during a solar cycle. &lt;br /&gt; Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_variation &lt;br /&gt; With that much variance one would expect to observe induced variance &lt;br /&gt; on the earth and on the other bodies of the solar system. In fact, &lt;br /&gt; this is what is observed historically on earth and astronomically &lt;br /&gt; throughout the solar system. It is unnecessary to invoke anthropogenic &lt;br /&gt; global greenhouse warming theory to explain anything. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Anthropogenic global greenhouse warming theory is nothing but a poorly &lt;br /&gt; run numbers racket. A critique has been written about global average &lt;br /&gt; (mean) temperature. Using different physically realistic averaging &lt;br /&gt; schemes the same data can imply warming OR cooling. Likewise, a &lt;br /&gt; critique has been written about the useless arithmetic used in &lt;br /&gt; mathematical models by environmentalists. These models incorporate &lt;br /&gt; arbitrary and untestable assumptions and many &#039;fudge factors&#039;. &lt;br /&gt; Environmental models have no predictive value. Useless arithmetic was &lt;br /&gt; the root of the failure of Michael Mann&#039;s &#039;hockey stick&#039; graph, a &lt;br /&gt; failed attempt at principle components analysis of tree ring data. The &lt;br /&gt; failure to balance the global carbon cycle is another major arithmetic &lt;br /&gt; failure of the whole enterprise. If I was a Chinese delegate to a &lt;br /&gt; climate control conference, I would be sure to seize upon that &lt;br /&gt; opportunity to increase China&#039;s carbon economy by 3.3 billion tons of &lt;br /&gt; carbon per year. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The IPCC in its latest report, said that there is a 10% chance that &lt;br /&gt; global warming is NOT caused by humans. The 10% value was apparently &lt;br /&gt; obtained by an opinion poll of &#039;true believers&#039;. The true value may be &lt;br /&gt; as high as 100%. Furthermore, the IPCC admitted that the interior of &lt;br /&gt; Antarctica is cooling. &#039;GLOBAL warming&#039; is a misnomer even according &lt;br /&gt; to the IPCC. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Consider the raw data, atmospheric CO2 concentrations as measured at &lt;br /&gt; Mauna Loa, Hawaii, the famous Keeling curve. See: &lt;br /&gt; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Mauna_Loa_Carbon_Dioxide.png &lt;br /&gt; Pay particular attention to the small box inset that shows a &lt;br /&gt; sinusoidal curve. Al Gore explained the annual oscillation in CO2 &lt;br /&gt; concentration as evidence of the biosphere breathing. It is incorrect &lt;br /&gt; to say that CO2 is always increasing. From May until October the CO2 &lt;br /&gt; level decreases, a lot. The annual variation due to the breathing of &lt;br /&gt; the biosphere dwarfs the small annual increment. That small annual &lt;br /&gt; increment has been alleged to be anthropogenic but the carbon cycle &lt;br /&gt; cannot be balanced. Forensic accounting principles don&#039;t work here so &lt;br /&gt; it would be hard to get a jury conviction against mankind&#039;s use of &lt;br /&gt; fossil fuels. Furthermore the total increment in atmospheric CO2 since &lt;br /&gt; the beginning of the industrial age is small, only 36%. The annual &lt;br /&gt; oscillations in the Keeling curve vividly demonstrate that CO2 is good &lt;br /&gt; for the biosphere. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Consider more raw data regarding the claimed disappearing sea ice in &lt;br /&gt; the Arctic. Take a look at the Cryosphere Today at: &lt;br /&gt; http://arctic.atmos.uiuc.edu/CT/animate.arctic.0.html &lt;br /&gt; {Be patient if you have a slow internet connection.} &lt;br /&gt; The animation depicted in Cryosphere Today is derived from satellite &lt;br /&gt; remote sensing. The animation shows the Arctic sea ice conditions &lt;br /&gt; varying over the last 30 days. Note the following: the Arctic Ocean is &lt;br /&gt; 100% full up with sea ice, Baffin Bay is 100% full up with sea ice, &lt;br /&gt; Greenland is virtually surrounded by sea ice, the Canadian Arctic &lt;br /&gt; archipelago is 100% full up with sea ice, Hudsons Bay is 100% full up &lt;br /&gt; with sea ice, the Labrador coast is locked in miles of sea ice, there &lt;br /&gt; is much ice in the Gulf of St. Lawrence (soon the seal hunt will &lt;br /&gt; begin, on the ice), sea ice is spilling out through the Bering &lt;br /&gt; Straight into the Bering Sea, sea ice partly fills the Sea of Okhost &lt;br /&gt; by Kamchuka, Russia and Sahkalin Island is completely surrounded by &lt;br /&gt; sea ice. Within the last month Lake Erie has been 100% frozen over. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I feel a chill just thinking about all that sea ice. So be happy &lt;br /&gt; people, eat burritos, drive your car and contribute to the economy. &lt;br /&gt; Environmental claims of impending disaster are self serving &lt;br /&gt; exaggerations. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The atmosphere is missing about 3.3 billion tons of carbon per year. &lt;br /&gt; The global carbon cycle is not balanced. That means there is a &#039;window &lt;br /&gt; of opportunity&#039; to increase carbon consumption. If carbon consumption &lt;br /&gt; is allowed to incease by 3.3 billion tons of carbon per year, this &lt;br /&gt; carbon sink of unknown origin may increase to 6.6 billion tons of &lt;br /&gt; carbon per year. The implication is that the earth has an unexpected &lt;br /&gt; and increasing capacity to adsorb CO2. This is good news for consumers &lt;br /&gt; and should not be written off by the global warming cult. The issue is &lt;br /&gt; worth trillions of dollars. &lt;br /&gt;

Take a look at the Cryosphere Today at: <br /> <a href="http://arctic.atmos.uiuc.edu/CT/animate.arctic.0.html" rel="nofollow">http://arctic.atmos.uiuc.edu/CT/animate.arctic.0.html</a> <br /> {Be patient if you have a slow internet connection.} <br /> The animation depicted in Cryosphere Today is derived from satellite <br /> remote sensing. The animation shows the Arctic sea ice conditions <br /> varying over the last 30 days. Note the following: the Arctic Ocean is <br /> 100% full up with sea ice, Baffin Bay is 100% full up with sea ice, <br /> Greenland is virtually surrounded by sea ice, the Canadian Arctic <br /> archipelago is 100% full up with sea ice, Hudsons Bay is 100% full up <br /> with sea ice, the Labrador coast is locked in miles of sea ice, there <br /> is much ice in the Gulf of St. Lawrence (soon the seal hunt will <br /> begin, on the ice), sea ice is spilling out through the Bering <br /> Straight into the Bering Sea, sea ice partly fills the Sea of Okhost <br /> by Kamchuka, Russia and Sahkalin Island is completely surrounded by <br /> sea ice. Within the last month Lake Erie has been 100% frozen over.  </p>
<p>I feel a chill just thinking about all that sea ice. So be happy <br /> people, eat burritos, drive your car and contribute to the economy. <br /> Environmental claims of impending disaster are self serving <br /> exaggerations.  </p>
<p>The atmosphere is missing about 3.3 billion tons of carbon per year. <br /> The global carbon cycle is not balanced. That means there is a &#8216;window <br /> of opportunity&#8217; to increase carbon consumption. If carbon consumption <br /> is allowed to incease by 3.3 billion tons of carbon per year, this <br /> carbon sink of unknown origin may increase to 6.6 billion tons of <br /> carbon per year. The implication is that the earth has an unexpected <br /> and increasing capacity to adsorb CO2. This is good news for consumers <br /> and should not be written off by the global warming cult. The issue is <br /> worth trillions of dollars. </p>
