Lovelock still believes anthropogenic global warming is occurring and that mankind must lower its greenhouse gas emissions, but says it’s now clear the doomsday predictions, including his own (and Al Gore’s) were incorrect.

I'd agree with this. Do you as well since you quoted the article?sigpic -
I'm sure humans may be contributing, but how significantly, I cannot assume to say. It's unfortunate we have not yet mastered time travel to go back and place sensors a few hundred thousand years back to get actual, long term results and measurements to use to accurately postulate from the scientific facts.Comment

We can't time travel back to when the universe began, but there is enough evidence to know about when it happened, and how the earth formed, etc. The evidence may not be exact, but it can be a close approximation.
There is other evidence that was left behind that helps us understand how the climate changed and approximately what it was like if you were willing to read up on it. In fact, new "markers" are discovered almost every week, although you won't find out about them in the main stream news or the Toronto Sun. You have to read science journals and articles, which most people don't subscribe too.sigpicComment

Well, I if understand a "close approximation" in the concept of percentages, a few degree change would fall somewhere within the percentage error area, right? So it could be meaningless, right?Comment
-
You'd think if it was far from meaningless, the science journals and publications would provide that material to the entire population as opposed to sympathetic paying readers.
One would think they would be providing this info to all of society so we could understand and make the changes implied to head off this catastrophic series of events.Comment

its proprietary info only for true believers
ps. there is NO empirical data that proves AGW. lots of models, lots of data that supports biases in the models, but no smoking gun
edit; seriously, what do the AGW scientists have to hide when they will not give up their tax payer funded research, such as the algorithms behind michael mann's hockey stick bullshit. there should be a rule that if you accept tax-payer funded $ for AGW research EVERY model, EVERY calculation, EVERYTHING should be available for the public to see and challenge. NO exceptions, NONE.Last edited by gwb72tii; 06-23-2012, 07:55 PM.“There is nothing government can give you that it hasn’t taken from you in the first place”

Sounds like a religion.Comment

So your opinion is that AGW theory is based on superstition and conspiracy? Then where does AGW denial stand for you? Is that based on science and facts moreso than the AGW theory? And if so, why are you quick to agree with the "evidence" of one but not the other?
BTW, aren't you a Christian, and me an atheist. Shouldn't that tell you something as to who is more willing to follow religion?sigpicComment

pretty easy to figure out anthropogenic CO2 right? <4% annually. even the "believers" agree with that figure.
the UN needs to outlaw volcano's, cows, and all animals that breath in O2 and exhale CO2“There is nothing government can give you that it hasn’t taken from you in the first place”
