    Big Oil is not neccesarily -all- oil Bob, nor is Shell a part of the American Petroleum Lobby. And as you think about which nation Shell does claim as home, maybe you can figure out why they might not support/finance AGW denialism ala Exxon. As a matter of fact, the answer may tell you why...

    New Anti-global warming debate?

    Umm....no, I'm not "missing the point". But perhaps you are. This thread started out as a simple exercise in trying to show the science behind the overwhelming scientific consensus that the climate is changing and that carbon is key to that change.

    I am actually intent on demolishing your church Bob. Just a heads up.

    So we are discussing the scientific study of Ice Core. Pixelsmith has attempted to discredit this science by providing us with a missive from Zbigniew Jaworowski. I won't bother trying to point out that he is not a climate scientist nor does he specialize in Ice Core science. Rather, here is a...

    New Anti-global warming debate?

    These statements are not in dispute. It's understanding causal mechanisms that's important here. It is a given that the atmosphere is composed of gases and that levels of those gases fluctuate due to natural ebbs and flows. That said, I'd like to focus on the following for the sake of this...
