Science out the window when it comes to political issues like "gun control" and Global Warming!

"columbiaaccidentinvestigation" wrote Temperature graphed with respect to time from data of vostok ice core, please not top left corner of graph were previous spikes dropped down, and the most recent historical spike is staying elevated. http://cdiac.ornl.gov/trends/temp/vo.../tempplot5.gif Note the slight temperature decline over the last interglacial, and how in the last several decades, global average temperatures have risen above the highest fluctuaion in the last interglacial. |

"Bill Ward" wrote But correlation does not prove causation. The cross correlation between the temperature and CO2 shows (95% confidence) the CO2 would have to go back in time more than 400 years to cause the temperature rise. I While time travel may appeal to Billy, here is what science has to say about attribution. Greenhouse Gases Likely Drove Near-record U.S. Warmth In 2006 Greenhouse gases likely accounted for over half of the widespread warmth across the continental United States in 2006, according to a new study that will be published 5 September in Geophysical Research Letters, a publication of the American Geophysical Union. Each of the 48 continental states experienced above-normal annual temperatures in 2006. For the majority of states, 2006 ranked among the 10 hottest years since 1895. (Credit: NOAA)Ads by Google Advertise on this site Last year’s average temperature was the second highest since recordkeeping began in 1895. The team found that it was very unlikely that the 2006 El Niño played any role, though other natural factors likely contributed to the near-record warmth. When average annual temperature in the United States broke records in 1998, a powerful El Niño was affecting climate around the globe. Scientists widely attributed the unusual warmth in the United States to the influence of the ongoing El Niño. El Niño is a warming of the surface of the east tropical Pacific Ocean. The research team, led by Paul Hoerling at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Earth System Research Lab in Boulder, Colorado, also found that greenhouse gas increases in Earth’s atmosphere enhanced the probability of U.S. temperatures breaking a record in 2006 by approximately 15-fold compared to pre-industrial times. The authors also estimate that there is a 16 percent chance that 2007 will bring record-breaking warmth.“We wanted to find out whether it was pure coincidence that the two warmest years on record both coincided with El Niño events,” Hoerling said. “We decided to quantify the impact of El Niño and compare it to the human influence on temperatures through greenhouse gases.” Preliminary data available in January 2006 led NOAA to place that year as the warmest on record. In May 2007,NOAA revised the 2006 ranking to second warmest after updated statistics showed the year was .08 F cooler than 1998. The annual average temperature in 2006 was 2.1 F above the 20th Century average and marked the ninth consecutive year of above-normal U.S. temperatures. Each of the contiguous 48 states reported above-normal annual temperatures, and for the majority of states, 2006 ranked among the 10 hottest years since 1895. Using data from 10 past El Niño events observed since 1965, the authors examined the impact of El Niño on average annual U.S. surface temperatures. They found a slight cooling across the country. To overcome uncertainties inherent in the data analysis, the team also studied the El Niño influence using two atmospheric climate models. The scientists conducted two sets of 50-year simulations of U.S. climate, with and without the influence of El Niño sea-surface warming. They again found a slight cooling across the nation when El Niño was present. To assess the role of greenhouse gases in the 2006 warmth, the researchers analyzed 42 simulations of Earth's climate from 18 climate models provided for the latest assessment by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).The models included greenhouse gas emissions and airborne particles in Earth's atmosphere since the late 19th century and computed their influence on average temperatures through 2006. The results of the analysis showed that greenhouse gases produced warmth over the entire United States in the model projections, much like the warming pattern that was observed last year across the country.For a final check, the scientists compared the observed 2006 pattern of abnormal surface temperatures to the projected effects of greenhouse-gas warming and El Niño temperature responses. The U.S. temperature pattern of widespread warming was completely inconsistent with the pattern expected from El Niño, but it closely matched the expected effects of greenhouse warming.“That attribution was not confirmed at the time,” says Hoerling. “Now we have the capability, on the spatial scaleof the United States, to better distinguish natural climate variations from climate changes caused by humans.” The research was supported by NOAA's office of Global Programs.

That's very close to what Joseph Goebbels said: http://thinkexist.com/quotation/-if_...ng/345877.html “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” George Orwell couldn't have phrased that better himself...that's straight out of the "1984" world.
