Some quick questions for global warming skeptics?

Do you agree with the following statements (one word answers are fine)…

1) The average global temperature is increasing

2) Any global temperature increase is due to natural cycles only

3) Mars is warming so any warming on Earth is due to the sun

4) In the 1970’s the alarm was about global cooling

5) Volcanoes contribute as much, if not more, to global warming than humans do

6) Levels of the so called ‘greenhouse gases’ are increasing

Thank you for your time.

I don’t give one word answers.

1. The average global temperature may not even be a relevant number, thermodynamically speaking. But to conform to the limits of the debate as set by the UN and the IPCC, I agree that global average temperature is increaing.

2. Any global temperature may or may not be due to any number of cycles and man, none of which are mutually exclusive of the others.

3. Mars is not the only planet that is warming. That warming may or may not be due to solar irradiation. It could also be due to magnetic changes in the sun allowing more cosmic rays into the solar system, among other potentials cuases.

4. Only a few scientists ever talked about global cooling. The media, however, was busy wearing their asshats on this one.

5. On the whole, volcanoes should be a net cooler (as demonstrated by small drops in temp after Mt St Helens and Pinatubo).

6. GHG’s are increasing, but that could be due to natural factors (decreased gas solubility in liquids at increases temps), man (industrial growth), or some combination of both.

In summary, I think the interactions between the oceans, land, atmosphere, sun, galaxy, and man are still poorly understood. I also think that they are not mutually exclusive of each other, thus it can be a combination of any or all of the factors that are out there, % attribution is not yet possible. Therefore, imposing solutions to a problem that is NOT understood is folly of the most arrogant manner.
