What do we know?
We know that our emissions have an effect on the climate.
We know that NASA has shown proof that the global climate is warming. I'm going to go out on a limb here and call this phenomena ...wait for it...Global Warming! LOL Only someone with an less than honest agenda would change that term to an ambiguous term like climate change.
We know that billions have been spent by fossil fuel companies to "scientists" and "scientific peoples of all sorts" to come up with documents, data, articles and reports showing what these companies want to be shown and that is that our emissions aren't causing the globe to warm or that the climate is changing in manner that would warm the globe, if you prefer the longer, illogical, hot air description.
I'm not sure what the truth is, but some scientists are lying, the earth is warming and our emissions do have an effect on our climate. That's a true sentence, right there.
Yes, there have been warming (and cooling, for that matter) trends. They have been caused by various factors (orbital, volcanic, solar, changes in ocean circulation patterns). The thing is, as I pointed out, those factors are not in play at the present.
What warming trend are you speaking of though? Has such warming trend ever been experienced in the vast history of the planet? If so, what caused it? If not, why not?
I haven't seen such studies. I have seen studies which show various temperature anomalies at different times, they do not really relate to conditions we see now.
Latest studies are showing that the warming trend isn't anything beyond normal and treating them such as abnormal is putting the cart before the horse so to speak.
Those "on the other hand" are in the vast majority.
Take for instance, MIT scientist, Richard Lindzen doesn't think the current models of prediction give an accurate picture; nor do other scientist. On the other hand, there are those who do say the current models are proving their point.
www.skepticalscience.com...
As we noted in our discussion of LC09, the paper contained a number of major flaws. Lindzen himself has even gone as far as to admit the paper contained "some stupid mistakes...It was just embarrassing."
A fact that we are in a warming trend? Yes.
Would you say that is a fact as the president declared?
In scientific terms, 95% certainty constitutes a "fact". Look at it this way, if there's a 5% chance you won't get hurt if you jump off your roof, will you take it?
Which is just as accurate as the president claiming it is a "fact" and that the "debate is over"....
there is not concrete evidence that Man has diverted the course of the Earth and its natural system in regards to the weather

You aren't sure what the truth is? Then you say the earth is warming and it's true? It looks like you might be even more confused than Al Gore. I sure hope you get that looked at.

What's Al Gore got to do with my post and did you read what I posted or just keyed in on one phrase thinking that, just because you disagree with me you could zing me. Wow you really told me. Keep in mind that Al Gore did not invent "climate change". lol he's just one man. You do know that the earth is warming, that man made emissions have some effect on our climate and that there is plenty of made up science, paid for by fossil fuel companies, don't you?
Yes, might be not a very effective idea without better participation. But do you really understand the idea? You know it works on an international basis (not internal) and that the US does not participate, right? It's just one reason the US bailed on Kyoto.
The idea of carbon credits is hilariously retarded. Do you think they will obey their own edicts?

There are models, there are theories, but there is not concrete evidence that Man has diverted the course of the Earth and its natural system in regards to the weather.
What sort of "concrete evidence" do you expect to see to indicate that the warming trend we are seeing is caused by human influences?
When you start eliminating other influences which could cause it (i.e.the sun hasn't gotten significantly hotter in the past century but temperatures have risen) and when you see that the trend does coincide with models based on CO2 increases, and CO2 levels have steadily increased, what do you have left? Do you just chalk it up to, "well, it must be something else because it sure can't be because of us." Ok.
No, it's not certain that warming is being caused by us. Only a 95% chance.

The term "Going Green" seems like it only applies to dollars.

Of course there is. Ice cores show that temperatures rose steadily as soon as the industrial revolution started. Also, studies of cities have shown that man made heating can raise temperatures in cities ten degrees or more over less developed areas.
My point was stating the fact. That the US is not a Kyoto participant. The US does not trade carbon credits.
So, what is your point then?
Yes. Yes they do. The UK participates in the Kyoto protocol. The US does not. What's your point?
They have carbon credits in the U.K.
No. It isn't.
Expect more of the same, the entire AGW theory is hogwash
I don't know about "skewed". I do know the audit was not about research but about monitoring grants and programs under the OES (a whopping $214 million). The OES oversees such things, it doesn't really do much research of its own.
The data that the U.S. State department is using is proven skewed.
The primary objective of this audit was to determine whether the OES administration and oversight were sufficient to ensure that contributions toward international climate change efforts were expended in accordance with Department policy and were contributing to the U.S. Government’s global climate change goals. (The scope and methodology of the audit are
detailed in Appendix A.)
My view is that it seems sort of presumptuous to claim that other planets showing warming trends when we have not had the ability to measure their temperatures for more than a decade or so.
Also there have been articles covering the warming of other planets in our solar system; What is causing it in your view?
