What could we do to cause the earth to have a uniform temprature that everyone likes at all times? And if we did this, would there be a ton more bugs?

The snow is melting from my yard so I guess Global Warming is back on.

it has to be more complicated, otherwise the Iran will just turn it down to be a jerk. there has to be at least two keys that have to be turned by opposing world leaders to change the earth-o-stat®.TheIronSheik said:

By my calculations enough wind turbines could actually alter the jet streams. Now look what you've gone and done.

Joe Barton agrees with you and I am sad
"Wind is God's way of balancing heat. Wind is the way you shift heat from areas where it's hotter to areas where it's cooler. That's what wind is. Wouldn't it be ironic if in the interest of global warming we mandated massive switches to energy, which is a finite resource, which slows the winds down, which causes the temperature to go up? Now, I'm not saying that's going to happen, Mr. Chairman, but that is definitely something on the massive scale. I mean, it does make some sense. You stop something, you can't transfer that heat, and the heat goes up. It's just something to think about."
He forgot to mention that there's also diminishing returns on your wind investments as a result. This could be some serious business. Is anyone tracking worldwide wind speeds, because I fear we might be too late already.

Human activity can't contribute to global warming, but it can change the jet stream.

Made from solar panels. The ultimate solarwind reutilization effort. Could also save us when the poles switch.Schlzm

Not having any vowels in your vocabulary can make one fairly finicky and prone to erratic behaviourLeave it to the Polish to not be able to decide with something and stick with it.

Can't we just build a smokestack into space and vent some of this troublesome gas?

It could also effect the migratory pattern of birds, which can destroy the entire ecosystem by itself according to some models.

There sure is a warming in CA! I'm tired of being in shorts and a tee shirt in Jan and going into Feb is not forcasted to be any different. 
I certainly believe in climate change, which to me means extremes are being seen more often.

Meh. I've always been a little cold so I like the warmer temps.There sure is a warming in CA! I'm tired of being in shorts and a tee shirt in Jan and going into Feb is not forcasted to be any different.

Curious about part of the title of this thread: "former global warming believers"- are there any?
Meaning: is there anyone out there who accepted the science of global warming, but has been convinced by these pseudo-scientists, right wing talk show hosts and conservative posters who never accepted it anyhow to change their minds?

I remember someone posting about this not so long ago. His sciencey friend convinced him to change his views, but I'm not sure of the details.

I changed my views on global warming over the past decade. I used to buy it hook, line, and sinker around 2001 or so. I've gotten more skeptical as I've aged though. I do think that it is factual that humans and their activities do have an impact on the global climate system. I think it would be ridiculous to say otherwise. However, I also think that we have shoddy records and a very incomplete knowledge base of a incredibly complex system, and I think we shouldn't be drawing any strong conclusions. I pretty much hate the alarmists right now. If the planet was 2 degrees warmer on average than it is right now, no one really knows if that would be a net positive or a net negative for us. And no one knows if humanity's impact is enough to cause that much of a shift. I do know another ice age would render us incapable of supporting the ammount of human life we currently have on our planet, so as long as we're moving away from that, I don't really care that much.
I honestly think the truth is that no one has a real good idea about what the extent of the impact of humanity's activities on the environment truly is AND I think we don't know enough about the potential outcomes of warming to be running scared from them either.

There was someone that posted this very thing in Tim's global warming thread within the last couple of weeks/pages. He was a believer, but based on the work from his father who was a highly respected scientist and others that worked with him he changed his opinion. I know Tim's in a hurry to spout off some nonsense so he doesn't actually read anything in these threads and just picks from one of his 3 or 4 pre canned responses for everything, and it's understandable that he missed it.Homer J Simpson said:

I guess I'll have to defer to your expertise on determining whether people are being authentic in their responses on message boards. You do have 70,000 posts, and I'm going to guess you've read at least half as many as well.I know the guy you're talking about. I didn't buy him. I believe Hulk, though.

If only everyone had a renowned science expert in their family to assure them Global Warming was fake.
