Climate Change

[Lissa]

I'm not defending at all what they're doing on the law side, but, the science on this is a bit shaky, too. Too much "if the data doesn't fit the model, make the data go away and don't talk about it" going around to make me happy either way.

Which data is this that is being made to go away?

There are time blocks (100s of thousands of years) from some geological eras where the carbon dioxide levels are much higher than anything we have now, but evidence points to temperatures in general being lower than now. However, the climate experts who push the climate change don't bring those up, because they don't fit the model that they're pushing on everyone.

Some of this came out when some emails between researchers were leaked several years ago, talking about data they were going to ignore, because it didn't fit their pet theories. No, I don't have links, but it's not hard to find.

Fact is, it's become a political thing more than a scientific one, and, those researchers basically buried the data that didn't fit so they could keep their funding. If the experts on this were more united, I'd give them more credence, but, there's lots of climate experts out there that disagree with the one the news media likes to push.

Were these eras from 600 Million years ago? A time when they know the Earth was a snowball and only due to volcanoes spewing carbon dioxide into the air that caused a warming that eventually caused acidic (carbonic acid) rainfall over the globe that eventually melted off most of the ice and the Earth then went into the dinosaur eras.
