http://www.pik-potsdam.de/~stefan/warmingfacts.pdf One quote: "CO2 is a gas that affects climate by changing the earth’s radiation budget: an increase in its concentration leads to a rise in near-surface temperature. This has been known since the 19th Century and is well-established physics. If the concentration doubles, the resulting global mean warming will very likely be between 2 and 4°C (the most probable value is ~3ºC), with the remaining uncertainty due to climatic feedback effects." Pretty standard consensus view. The site also lists studies not published in any cited peer-reviewed journal (many are in Energy & Environment, for example), some are older studies from the 1980's, a few are obsolete (replaced by more recent studies). But the vast majority of them don't argue against anthropogenic global warming. Nice try, though.

• Hundreds of peer-reviewed scientific studies from all over the world indicate a Medieval Warm Period as warm or warmer than present temperatures. Recent warming is not unprecedented. • Numerous studies of extreme weather incidences indicate that recent occurrences are also not unprecedented, nor even unusual. • The tropical mid-tropospheric warming predicted by the models as a prominent signature of CO2-induced global warming has not occurred. The models are wrong about the dominant area of warming. • Most of the warming predicted by the models comes from increased relative humidity acting as a positive feedback to amplify CO2-induced warming. This too has not occurred. The models are thus also wrong about the major source of warming. • Contrary to greenhouse warming expectations, southern hemisphere trends have shown negligible warming. • The global temperature trend has been flat for a decade despite increasing CO2. • Most important of all, global temperatures have declined markedly in both hemispheres over the past two years, with widespread record and near record lows.The current cooling was unpredicted by any models. Although warming advocates have tried to dismiss it as only natural internal variability, they have previously strongly denied any such possibility in connection with warming. |

Deniers never back up their claims with scientific references. Feel free to try. I'll select a statement at random and refute it: "Most of the warming predicted by the models comes from increased relative humidity acting as a positive feedback to amplify CO2-induced warming. This too has not occurred. " Actually, many direct observations (in addition to paleoclimatic data) have revealed that water vapor is indeed a strong positive feedback. http://www.agu.org/pubs/crossref/2008/2008GL035333.shtml Should I continue?

Alaska’s Hubbard Glacier still advancing, but at a slower pace By Climatologist Cliff Harris 30 Jun 09 – It appears to be continuing its advance into the fjord and should eventually (maybe as early as next year, but almost certainly within the next thirty or forty years) wrap itself around Gilbert Point and turn the fjord into a glacier formed lake. http://www.longrangeweather.com/Arti...rAdvancing.htm Alaska's Hubbard Glacier advancing 7 feet per day! 10 May 09 – This from climatologist Cliff Harris of the Coeur d’Alene Press. It's possible that the glacier could close the fjord by later this summer if the current rate speeds up, says Harris.

Do you have the slightest idea of the lie you're trying to peddle here? I doubt you do. Every earthly resource, while finite, can almost without exception be exploited without end. The variable is the price and associated tech ramp up. But for most everything the price goes down as we exploit these finite resources.
It's contrary to your nature, no doubt. But at least make the effort.
