HarveyH55★★★★★ (5196)	As long as there is a 'consensus', it can be considered gospel, scientific fact. As long as you have a sufficient quantity, of 'scientist' (doesn't matter their field of study, or degree earned, if any), you can violate any other established scientific belief. Not sure how many of these 'scientist' are need, to form a valid consensus, guess it depends on the mass of the manure your trying to spread...

The problem is that the people preaching man-made global warming do not themselves know anything about it. So they accede to someone they consider to be an authority. This is precisely the same thing as acceding authority to the Bible. And as we all know you may not question religious beliefs. At least with real religions you are arguing about things spiritual in nature and not things that can actually be touched and tested. This is the weird thing about the religion of AGW, actual records and chemistry knowledge exist to show it is incorrect and yet the True Believers continue.

You've got to be a complete moron to believe the crap you posted. You sound like a little kid wanting to try and show his big brother he's a big boy now. I could come up with some good insults with your logic. Do you tell your girlfriend that if she believes you have a big you know what that she'll like it better? Or maybe you just stepped out of a cold shower? What's sad is how you and your girlfriend isn't keeps abusing the Stefan-Boltzmann constant. Are you trying to discourage people from taking an interest in science? That seems to be your only interest except for each other and if people screw up the environment, who cares? Right?

James___ ★★★★★ (5513)	You know I'm just kidding, right? I'll let you guys have this one for free. We know our planet is warming because of the greenhouse effect, right? So what IS the greenhouse effect? I'm being facetious now, It's when the composition of gases in an environment change. This has been observed in greenhouses, hence the name. This occurs because plants and other types of vegetation convert CO2 to O2. And as the amount of O2 in a greenhouse increases so does the temperature temperature. I think ya'all missed that little detail about a greenhouse, CO2 levels drop until fresh air is let in with more CO2. Then the greenhouse has a corresponding cooling.

James, we can do without the high school antics. The composition of the atmosphere has changed less than one part in 10,000. I suggest you think about that for at least a minute. That someone could convince you that changing the atmospheric composition that small a percentage and that there is massive climate change because of it should actually cause any thinking person to pause and realize that idiots are everywhere. I think that you should start by looking in a mirror.

So...according to you...greenhouse effect cools the Earth? BTW, greenhouses are not hermetically sealed.
