Comments on: 50% Of The Warming Caused By Land Use Changes? http://www.thepiratescove.us/2009/11/12/50-of-the-warming-caused-by-land-use-changes/ Free societies are societies in which the right of dissent is protected Sat, 20 Mar 2010 01:27:58 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: Reasic http://www.thepiratescove.us/2009/11/12/50-of-the-warming-caused-by-land-use-changes/comment-page-1/#comment-126313 Reasic Fri, 13 Nov 2009 18:05:15 +0000 http://www.thepiratescove.us/?p=11203#comment-126313 What I found interesting was how Teach tied this land use study to the Urban Island Effect. The two are not synonymous. Also, there are many factors that are contributing to the decline in the glacier on Mt. Kilimanjaro. Claiming that it's only due to deforestation is just dumb, especially if your goal is to use this example to disprove the fact that the planet is warming. If this were the case, why are the vast majority of glaciers in the world also receding? Use your brain, Teach.

Ad hominem what does that mean to you ? Prof David Bellamy was educated to be a botanist not a climatologist. In 1989 he wrote the foreword to the book The Greenhouse Effect. Here is an excerpt: "The profligate demands of humankind are causing far reaching changes to the atmosphere of planet Earth, of this there is no doubt. Earth's temperature is showing an upward swing, the so-called greenhouse effect, now a subject of international concern. The greenhouse effect may melt the glaciers and ice caps of the world causing the sea to rise and flood many of our great cities and much of our best farmland. Apparently Bellamy believed in AGW before he disbelieved in it. Teach around the 17th the NCDC will be publishing their data on the Global temps (as opposed to the national ones that you noted earlier this week) will you be posting these ?
