That there may be some anthropogenic effect is certainly possible, even likely. But how much and what to do about it is much less clear.Lorenzohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00305933404442191098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2197051945822486684.post-34041546911446597732010-03-31T15:11:16.191+11:002010-03-31T15:11:16.191+11:00I do IT support in the geology research area of a ...I do IT support in the geology research area of a University, the academics here do actually seem to believe it. From the ones who study the atmospheric records in the coral cores to the ones who study seismic records. They seem to have read and talked to each other enough to believe it. They are not making claims to get funding because that's not how the place works.<br /><br />Personally I just don't understand enough to decide. I can only look at simplified powerpoint presentations, then I am only reacting to the speaker not the content. I did read one comment by someone who had been studying the sunspots and how it effected the global temperature. He said something to the effect that a solar effect that was causing warmer temperatures was waning, and that unfortunately it would cause enough of a drop in the observed temperature rise for people to ignore the effect caused by CO2. <br /><br />So essentially I have read enough comments that make me believe it. But I majored in mathematics at uni, so I understand enough to know that I don't understand.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
