Environmentalism, right or wrong? Options

[Kontroll]

Now, when I say environmentalism, I'm dealing with the rainforest and what not. How do you guys feel about it? What's your stance on this topic?

If there has already been a thread about this, then whatever.

surface tempuratures.

here's the catch.

global warming is the theory that excess carbon dioxide in the upper atmosphere will cause a heating of the world due to the greenhouse effect. the upper atmosphere will heat up, like the air in a greenhouse.

high level satalites measure no such increase.

now; there's an interesting effect. the city heat effect. the concentration of so many engines and blacktops and such in dense population centers causes a rise in the heat of an area. the bigger the population, the bigger the rise.

the thermometers that are measuring these increases, where are they located?

new york?
pittsburg?

now, let's assume that all these weather stations measuring an increase a located far away from city areas.

for the period of 1800- 1950s, how was the temperature recorded?

a guy going out and measuring the temperature from a thermometer, right? Now, the temperature at noon and in the morning is usually different. so this guy in this really isolated weather station goes and measures the tempurature at the same time every day, right?

now what if he was late a few hours. what would he do? he'd probably just right down whatever was on the thermometer.

and what if there was a storm. maybe he could skip that day, and just copy the last day's.

global warming is far from proven.

and global warming will in fact be beneficial to a lot of countries by increasing the length of their growing season, allowing the more agricultural 3rd world countries to make more money, and maybe get more developed.
