post hiding behind an anonymous handle
The internet is a public place. It's rare that I see someone walking down the street with their name and social security number tattooed on their forehead, but it takes all sorts to make the world turn I guess.
I only post under this one handle on most threads. I do not use multiple identities or anything. My name and address are no big secret but I don't display them that is all there is to it.
I know you as watson, my name is pearly. That is all the information needed.
The views stated are just my reflection of the science that seems to be accepted at the moment.
I am no seething climate change left wing socialist, and am open minded on the role of CO2. I don't discount it though, even though it's levels are only ppm.
The sun spot count hasn't risen yet, and there is a statistical chance it won't, but only a slight one.

With energy price trends as they are, I have bought a coal stove and bought a couple of tons of coal too. As I don't live in a smoke free zone, it's the smokey type of coal. Perhaps some of my teenage daughters environmentally concerned friends (Having dutifully watched Al Gores film etc at school) may pass on some criticism of my anti environment practices. I will argue my corner well though, hopefully without tearing them up too much.
Outside of the equations stated, when you drill down to the detailed physics of climate on this planet, I will readily admit it's still all full of guesswork and some discovery tomorrow might just throw the whole latest analysis up in the air. The scientists and politicians that allocate funding for this or that could easily be wrong footed with developments.
There are many variables and I have mentioned of man made sources that cool the atmosphere as well as heat it. I do not have some silly "bee in my bonnet" that is only concerned about CO2. Particulates, other effluent gases, they can all play some sort of role in the climate. The Earths albedo for example (according to some accounts) has swung widely over the last 10 years. It could be just natural causes too that changed things.
The climate and climate change implications are worth lots of study though imho. |
