Evo, Sorry, my oversight, I agree and it won't happen again, I hope. There are many sites that show this information, but the one I took it from is from a study by doctors in Europe that covered several nation's official statistics. It also links to studies in about 20 other nations...

I agree, prove there is really a problem then work on the response to it. Until then I will do my best to release as much trapped carbon as possible in hopes of increasing the tillable acres of the world and help stave off the starvation that is sure to follow what I believe will be the next 60...

Well You are not very perceptive if you believe that I am defending Dr. Manuel's hyposthsis. I am merely defending his right to the normal scientific process of attempted falsification. No one and I mean absolutly no one has ever disproven a single aspect of his hypothesis. I suspect this is...

Of course these questions should be asked of Dickman if you seriously want to know what he is speaking of, but gravitational effects are not the only effects, and the effects are not only on the Earth. The electro magnetic forces of the large planets when they are in certain positions...

He has written a number of papers concering his hypothesis since 1960. His model includes an outer H layer energized by a nutron star interior. Not only the Earth but meteorites, and other planets have an unexplained abundance of elements that would be expected from a supernova event which he...

It has been sometime since this thread was active, and I have learned a bit more about what Dickman is saying. He agrees that the effects of the Sun and the Moon are predominent, but also that some of the major planets when in allignment with the Sun and/or Moon create additional gravitaional...

In fact the very idea of "global warming" is deceptive, and if valid, is more so in the Northern hemisphere than in the Southern. The Southern hemisphere has different conditions to measure, (for instances the predominence of land in the north, sea in the south). In this modern "optimum" the...

Rome expanded through the period we now call the Roman Optimum (among other names) and when that period or cycle began to change to a colder one it not only caused problems for the Romans in food production and the related colder weather disadvantages, it caused problems for the Northern tribes...

The question truly is not a scientific one. What is known about the Sun is incomplete in a lot of ways. What the interior of the Sun is actually composed of is more problimatical than what is in the photosphere. We can actually measure the makeup of the photosphere, but must use proxies such...

Thankyou Vanadium for your response, Which of his papers did you read? Could you tell me what you find objectionable with the research or conclusions. I am not defending the hypothesis, just trying to understand why it is wrong if it is.

As a geologist I am very grounded here on Earth, but I do have a question for those of you who face is always pointed at the Sun. With the small level of knowledge I have about the solar model I clearly see that there are several unanswered questions that plague the solar community, but dispite...

As a geologist with emphasis is paleo studies, of course climate comes into play in nearly all of the research I have done. Causation is not a big part of it however. What i do believe and understand is that we have very clear evidence of two things... Climate has cycles now and before human...

Vanesch I can agree with the logic you follow when you say that proving a modal wrong does not prove the assumption wrong, But if you will, can you lay out the evidence that the assumption has merit? As far as I am aware there has been very little if any confirmation of this basic...

Karl, I can find some agreement in all you say except for your statement that the rise in the rate of CO2 in the atmosphere is unprecidented. That is simply something of which there is no proof. To state it as an absolute is not even possible for the last 200 years, disreguarding the...

The solid evidence of temperature lag relative to CO2 at all time scales (as indicated by Gerlich/Tscheuschner, Jaworowski, Idso, Beck, and others). Indicates to me that even up and down movements of CO2 levels will be very difficult to analyse no matter how caused. I would think that long...
