The information is a strong confirmation of what every intelligent and honest person already strongly suspects. A lot of those in denial like to point to the fact that water vapor is the strongest greenhouse gas, not co2. While implying human activity doesn't effect water vapor concentrations. But the truth is that as co2 levels rise, the warming will cause the levels of water vapor to rise, starting a very strong feedback cycle and acceleration of global warming. I would suggest all readers to refer to your posted information in order to rebutt any subsequent idiocies attempted by the 'no-warming' lunatics and their hired stooges. It's time to stop arguing over the facts, enough facts are in. It's time to begin discussing potential solutions. Well, jonathan, as my mom used to say: "charity begins at home." I haven't seen any solutions out of you, yet. And don't say your SPS system is the solution. That's akin to saying the Martians are going to save us. Jo, an aggressive SSP program ...was...our official policy for NASA as set by Congress just before President Bush cancelled it in favor of ...more moon rocks. Congress had already slated in hundreds of millions of dollars to get large scale flight demonstations up and running. Not more moon rocks. More money for Bush, Cheney, Halliburton, et al. They've got a very successful pro-oil agenda. It's working. We still have nearly all the oil we want, but at profit making prices. That's what it's all about, no? The first flight of a large SSP satellite was to be in 2006. I am not alone here, much of our govt and NASA feels the same way. That SSP was, and should be again, our single biggest national scientific priority. Why do you think SSP is such a pipe-dream? I can show it's not at all. Ok, show me one big corporation behind this 'untested' technology. Not the Government. I don't think the Government should be in the energy business. SSP is simply the difference between a future of ever more expensive and dirtier energy. Or a future of ever cheaper and cleaner energy as time goes on. I mean chrissakes, oil is almost $80 a barrel now. It was less than $10 a barrel under Clinton. What do you need, a hammer over the head? Nope. What you need is an introduction to politico-economic reality. Not many oil wells in Arkansas. A few. But Little Rock is nothing like Dallas and/or Houston, or the Wyo. oil fields. If the next President is from a non-oil producing area, expect the current oil fiasco to subside somewhat. The trends all favor the 'big idea', an elegant solution. It's only a matter of time before the quickly growing Global Warming movement finds and embraces SSP as the long term answer. I don't trust the altruistic "Global Warming movement." Follow the money. And a long term answer not just to climate change, but to world-wide peace and prosperity. Do you believe in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny, too? I mean, would you at least admit it's a better idea than more moon rocks??? I like moon rocks. I'm not sure we need to get more of them, but moon rocks are OK. |

Well, since many leftists, like RF Kennedy, Jr, have taken to calling AGW skeptics as "traitors," it's time to start dealing with the issues on those grounds. Consequently, anyone who protests the construction of new nuclear power plants needs to be arrested and tried on treason charges. Yes? Or maybe we should all appeal to our higher instincts. OK. Feed Greenpeacers to sharks, then. Sharks are getting endangered, you know. They could benefit from the added protein... and human society could benefit from a reduction in the "idiot gene" that is so dominant in the modern "environmentalist" movement. Solving the global warming problem means solving the global energy problem. Why shouldn't it be America that comes up with the solution? Indeed, which is why we should be cranking out the terawatt-class nuke reactors. America could own the future ...if we make Space Solar Power a national priority. SSP is a great option, but it'll take decades to make a meaningful dent. Reactors could be in production in just a few years, were it not for the moron Socialist brigades and their lawyers. Once that group fo genetic defectives is out of the picture, SSP becomes a lot easier, as you can launch a vast nuclear-powered infractructure into the universe with much less interference. -- ------- The fact that I have no remedy for all the sorrows of the world is no reason for my accepting yours.

But I think intelligent & honest people who understand the import of this article need to recognize that most of the opposition to action on GW -- not ALL of it, but most of it -- is NOT driven by superstition, or by ignorance of the science. Most of the opposition to action on GW is driven by ECONOMICS. Yes, there's lots of money in Global Warming catastrophe augury. -- NeoLibertarian "The nine most terrifying words in the English language are, 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help.'" ---Ronald Reagan |

At half the present day magnetosphere intensity, from that point on down the road of most all environmental things failing us, we will not have to worry about how extra hot and nasty Earth has been getting because, our frail DNA will not have sufficiently evolved into being rad-hard enough. The SAA contour will be right on the deck and perhaps as much as 25% of this planet will have become less than human DNA friendly (especially by day). Don't bother the "scientists."

Is it impossible? Is it improbable? You just aren't looking at all the factors. Post away! I have an open mind and am willing to learn. Try visiting the permafrost during a heat wave. No thanks. But let's not forget that we are talking about a potential transformation taking many decades, if not centuries or more. |
