Hey, Michael wme, I’m an atheist, and I can assure you that this isn’t one of our hoaxes. We are behind Bigfoot, Elvis and the Loch Ness monster, but global warming has never come up at one of our meetings. You might want to check with the Unatarians on that one.
“It’s cold in the winter. Therefore, no global warming. I won’t believe it until it’s hot everywhere at once. Anyway my Colossus SUV has great a/c. Pass the crude, please.”
If you are going to repeat your inaccurate and nonsensical screed, at least start with the cartoon! This refers to the hole in the tundra that released a lot of methane. It’s a BIG problem, because it is considerably worse than CO2 in terms of being a greenhouse gas: twenty times worse, in fact.See here: http://epa.gov/climatechange/ghgemissions/gases/ch4.htmlSo this has nothing to do with CO2. Please try to pay attention here, even if you are going to ignore the 99.97% of climate scientists and vast amount of research that shows you are incorrect.
“And I go back to when “the science was settled” that we were headed for a new Ice Age (c. 1970).”1) So you’ve seen the technological advances since then. Those advances have allowed for much better data collection and weather pattern modeling.2) Scientists aren’t claiming that global warming will directly cause an ice age. They say it could set off a chain reaction that would result in one. NASA has a webpage that explains how the chain reaction would work.http://science1.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2004/05mar_arctic/

No, but I have heard at least one Rightie head-case claim that global warming is CAUSED by volcanoes.

Once again for the terminally dense: Science doesn’t care what you “believe”. It just works
