| Re: Is Global Warming a Natural Phenomenon? All sorts of experts make all sorts of statements and predictions without enough evidence or proof. And yes this does go both ways for and against man-made global warming. We are the only creatures on the planet that have been blessed with the gift of choice, or do we all have to just sit back and believe all we are told.
Scientists once taught us that the sun, the moon and the other planets orbit Earth. Galileo believed planets orbit the sun in perfect circles since circles are perfect mathematically.
Experts told us that Laotian Rock Rats went extinct more than 11 million years ago but have now been found alive and well.
Years ago we all believed that the earth was flat and if you sailed your ship too far you'd drop off the edge. (However, If you've lived in the Fens all your life and never gone anywhere you may still believe this).
The Coelacanth is a rare species of fish, which the world of science said was extinct and existed only in fossil records, and was said by the 'experts' to have lived some 50 million years ago. Joseph Éduard Lemaître spent a lifetime observing the heavens and declared that the universe was expanding. Albert Einstein refused to believe it, saying that the universe was stagnant. The list goes on....
I don't claim to know the answer, that's the reason I come to sites like this, in search of answers, not arguments.

''I am no longer contributing to this debate since it is indeed going around in circles. I simply do not understand the logic or reasoning of those non-scientists who do not accept the scientific consensus on this topic. I can only question the objectivity with which they are approaching the issue''.
The answer Matt, is that I have a mind of my own, I can do research and even understand some of what I read and just because you may have scientific qualifications doesn't mean that I, and all the rest of mankind, have to buy into it. |
