Then by your logic we should be clear cutting the boreal forests and removing them from Canada.
Researchers from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory reported in the "Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences" (April 17) that while tropical forests exert a cooling influence on global climate, forests in northern regions exert a warming influence — and it’s not just a trivial climatic effect.
Based on the researchers’ computer modeling, forests above 20 degrees latitude in the Northern Hemisphere — that is, north of the line of latitude running through Southern Mexico, Saharan Africa, central India and the southernmost Chinese island of Hainan — will warm surface temperatures in those regions by an estimated 10 degrees Fahrenheit by the year 2100.
My logic?
It's a news story Mr Ostrich.
Anyway, speaking of convoluted logic, perhaps you should look at your own comment.
Perhaps you should stop picking and choosing which items you choose to believe... such that everything that agrees with your viewpoint is somehow magically correct?
And you just assume everything the IPCC says is correct, which it isn't. Or Al Gore's film says, that isn't. Or that the earth's temperature has been stable for a thousand years which it hasn't. You don't even pick and choose, you just believe that the earth is doomed because the temperature has risen a fraction, because the IPCC says so. You believe that man made Co2 emissions are the cause of global temperature rise because they say so. These are still just theories, like it or not.
Sure the temperature may be rising, like that's a new thing? Temperature change has been happening since the beginning of climate on earth.
What makes you think you have any idea what I believe?
I haven't even seen Al Gore's film. Have you?
What I do know is that mankind is having a large impact on the planet. You'd have to be an idiot not to realize that.
Prudence would dictate trying to let nature do it's own thing, and if that is all that was happening nobody would be worried at all.
However, when mankind gets involved, we have the potential to greatly impact the rate or scale of change that is occurring.
Now, where in this you can find a way to determine what I do or do not believe, I don't know.
However, I do believe that the rate of change that might occur will have a lot to do with how damaging such a change would be. You see, evolution doesn't occur as fast as man made change, but it does occur as fast a natural changes, mostly.
Why in the heck would we want to risk making the world less habitable for ourselves, when we don't have to. That would be idiocy.
Do some real thinking instead of throwing around politically motivated nonsense.
The whole concept of the IPCC is politically motivated, how can you not see that?
That doesn't have anything to do with what I'm saying to you.
Maybe you haven't noticed, but this blog basically shows items that make the news, without concern for their viewpoint.
Grab a clue. I'm not supporting the IPCC or spouting any political babble - like you are.
