I'm glad they had guidlines that they followed prohibiting violence.
I think it is hard to say if their tactic actually has any effect on proceeding about the plant since Pelosi and Harry Reid asked last week to switch the power, and the protesters were out there just yesterday.

I find it kind of hilarious that they did this on the day of unprecedented snowfall fell across the region.

I'm thinking that would've taken a little wind out of their protest. Unfortunately, they can adapt their findings to include all climate change, not just warming...

It is a fact, that there has been no evidence of global warming on a global level in the last 10 years. To though the world’s economy into a tailspin, over "conventional wisdom" is insane. The computer models used that predict global warming are proven to be flawed.

No evidence of global warming? Can you provide sources on that? This NASA scientist seems to disagree with you, and I would assume his opinion isn't based on 'conventional wisdom'

I agree with mydiadem. And I disagree with the opinion that there is absolutely no evidence of global warming in the past 10 years.

For some reason my links did not go through. I will try again one at a time

Oh now it posts

On the first one, the flaw in this interpretation is in drawing conclusions about long term climate change over a relatively short period of 13 months. Particularly when a large portion of that cooling occured over one month (January 2008). Only over a period of years to decades can you confidently discern climate trends. Otherwise, you run the danger of mistaking weather for climate.

On the next one, if your problem is with the models I recommend reading this article

http://www.skepticalscience.com/climate-models.htm

Third link is a blog about the second link and the same professor.

I do recommend this website, it looks at these arguments against global warming and compares with known research to see if the argument holds weight or not.

At the end of the day, the proof that climate change is real and man made far out weights the proof that climate change is not real or not caused by man.

I read an excellent paper a few months ago, and I am sorry I can’t reference it for. Using ice cores going back some 10,000 years. They measured co2 levels and put them besides the known temperatures and found that co2 was a lagging indicator on global warming. The case made was that co2 is absorbed by our oceans, and like a bottle of pop/soda when the ocean warms it throws off the co2. The reason it is a lagging indicator is because of the size of the oceans, slow to warm and slow to cool.

I want to just say I'm not some climate change nut, but I feel like I've looked at a lot of different things with a skeptical view and concluded that its real and would like to see work done to reduce pollution and CO2 emissions for the sake of my future children.

This was not the specific article i was referring to, but it will do.

Sure, climate change is real. I just don't think it's a big deal. Cause it's normal.

Here's info on the CO2 lag, basically confirming that what Al Gore said about this effect was correct but oversimplified.

mydiadem, one more thing. I am really enjoying reading your links. While we may disagree on global warming vs. global cooling, there is nothing I appreciate more then a cogent dialogue mydiadem

Exactly! Thanks Grandpa! I really appreciate your links as well, its I think helpful to look at an issue as complicated as climate change from a lot of different prespectives. I'm not a scientist, but like to get my geek on in that arena every once in a while.

I agree that climate change is real. I am not one of those extremists, but I don't see anything wrong with us all conserving, recycling and preserving for the benefit of our future generations. There is no denying that we pollute and consume at a very high rate and there is nothing wrong with all of us trying to do less of both.

There is nothing wrong with asking us to make changes, but it is wrong to say the lives of our children depend on it. It's wrong to say that the sea levels will rise 20 feet in the next 100 years if we don't buy carbon credits to offset what we are currently doing. It's wrong to say that global warming is human made, when it is at the very least debatable, and may not be true at all.

Nothing wrong with choosing to change if you want to. There is alot wrong with BHO's new budget which initiates a carbon tax that hopes to make petroleum/coal based energy cost as much as "green" energy. That's setting policy based on this silly global warming movement which has massively declining scientific merit. That's making us all pay for the environmental special interest.
