Yeh Pigboat. Ive seen the figures on global warming and IMHO they dont add up. What the "experts" convenientley forget is:
* Its in the nature of weather to change over time. The dynamics of the system are extremeley complex and "Chaos" figures rather big on the "if" list. In October one year your in a draught. In October in 5 years time your flooded out of your home. Thats a normal weather pattern. If it were exactley the same and predictable each year over a 150 year period THEN there may be cause for further investigation. For a comparison try looking at life through a mayfly who lives for only one day. As far as hes concerned the weather is definitely warming!
* The time period that change is measured in. If you were to measure present day to 1805, the world is on a cooling trend.
* The oceans act as a huge carbonated seltzer that efectively absorbs CO2. CO2 release from limestone (if any) will be absorbed by the oceans. CO2 is heavy and will not progress to higher altitudes. That shuts up the "We are turning into Venus!" rabble.
* The ITZ is where the planet regulates its temperature and blows off excess heat through release of energy in the form of thunderstorms.
If you realy want to know what regulates our weather, try the moon. Without it the planet would wobble by up to 13 degrees from present axis every 20 years. Then youd have a real global environmental disaster!
