Nice paper by the by, let us know what grade you get on it.

My thoughts on the subject matter:

2. Axial tilt of the Earth, the axis tilt of the Earth is not a constant.

*The current Global Warming evidence is based on the first two being not in the equation at all, which is bad form for scientists pursuing the correct scientific method.*

3. Weather data can only be traced back a little over 100 years, NASA screwed up the hottest year data (1998 when it was 1934), skewed temperature readings from NASA (again) that showed an increase greater than was present.

i.e. Evidence exists that the city of New Orleans has been hit by a larger hurricane in the past that predates the Industrial Revolution (no fossil fuels).

4. Anthropological evidence exists to suggest that warmer climate existed in different periods of human civilization that did not have fossil fuel

i.e. a Roman road through a pass in the Alps that was recently discovered due to warmer temperatures...do we think the Romans could build roads under several feet of ice and snow?

5. Current scientific evidence is coming from sources that have political and monetary gain behind it.

6. The whole issue of Global Warming is being driven as a way to eliminate fossil fuels with the only possible alternative being electrical power use, which would correlate to a huge demand increase in electrical power. Hydrogen power is being undermined because of this. Possible reason for the move to do so could be linked to 5.

I am sure more points could be made but I lack the time to do them and I find it sufficient enough for further debate with the current points listed. Alas, if I make this too long you people won't read it all and will only take words out of context.

Adieu,

Only thing I would add is that this year has had the most snowfall since 1966 and now we have some "global warming" scientists backtracking to the ideas of "Climate Change" and "Global Cooling".

We can screw up the local environment but for a global environment screw up it would require the end scenario of Russia and USA launching thermonuclear weapons at each other.

Face it, Mother Nature destroys more in a year than we do in a 100. After all, the top half of Africa used to be Rain forests...
