1. The vast majority of CO2 production on earth is natural. Natural CO2 production is 30 times man's production of CO2. That is to say, man's production of CO2 is trivial, compared to nature's production of it.One of the strongest arguments I've seen by the doomsday global warming alarmists is the claim that the Antarctic temperature has risen 5 or 6 degrees Celcius. Well, the vast majority of us haven't measured that ourselves. I can say, though, that the only part of the Antarctic continent that is ever above freezing, normally, is the Antarctic peninsula. Only during its Summer does the temperature there sometimes slightly rise above the freezing point; to a max of about 2 degrees Celcius. That's hardly like Death Valley in July. The interior of the Antarctic continent is usually lower than about -70 degrees Fahrenheit. One can hardly imagine even an act of God melting ice there at that temperature. One of the reasons that the interior stays so biting cold is that storm fronts seldom reach far inland there. This gets back to my own theory of atmospheric moisture being the radiant heat blocker, rather than CO2. With no storm over the interior, relatively little atmospheric moisture is there, in the form of clouds. The interior is known to have an extremely dry atmosphere; another case in point, and another point for me. The very little heat there is pretty much free to be radiated away and out into outer space, without much atmospheric moisture to block it from leaving.
2. One has to conclude that there is some lying going on, because an average global temperature increase of only 1 degree Fahrenheit can't explain such a noticable, dramatic climatic change as they are describing.
3. Atmospheric moisture is far more significant, in terms of blocking the radiation of heat, than CO2. To the extent that there would be an average global climatic increase in temperature, that would tend to contribute to a corresponding increase in atmospheric moisture. That is because relatively warmer air holds relatively more moisture. The back and forth action between the two could conceivably be an increasing spiral of global temperatures. Not only that, if the sea level is rising, that would increase the percentage of the earth that is covered by water, to some extent. That too could tend to increase atmospheric moisture.
4. I almost hate to keep mentioning it, but the atmospheric blocking of radiant heat would be more significant in the inbound direction, not the outbound direction. That would mean less radiant heat, from the sun, even reaching the airspace we live in. The atmosphere is not capable of holding or trapping heat that never reached it.
Dear Sen. H. R. Clinton,
You wrote me a letter months ago, in response to my having faxed you more than once in the past. You're right. I have had a problem with the local government. But you suggested that I contact you about how to improve the federal government. Well, that's what I'm doing right now. I've got some light to shed on the global warming issue. If you do nothing else today, please be sure to read this; it's important. I put the following near the top of my home page at www.stevenbray.com
Hi, Sen. Clinton. Please beware of global-warming issues being used as scams. To someone who has studied math and science, like myself, the greenhouse gas theory doesn't seem to hold water, so to speak. If there were such a thing as global warming, it had to be due to something other than carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is just a very tiny fraction of the atmosphere. To presume that it is responsible for global warming is preposterous. Even the sun spot theory is more plausible that the greenhouse gas theory. I believe that atmospheric gases are more likely to cause global cooling than global warming. It stands to reason that the net effect of a shielding gas would primarily be to reflect the sun's energy away from the earth, so that it couldn't play a part in the temperature of the earth. Such a shield would bounce the sun's rays back into outer space, and away from the earth. Period. To be mathematically rigorous, one has to consider the whole problem, not just the aspect that seems interesting. The greenhouse gas theory must have been born to mathematical idots, or to absolute frauds, trying to pretend a need to ban personal transportation for the masses. Politicians were always inventing so-called justifications to take away personal liberties. The greenhouse gas pseudotheory is just another case in point. You know, I can right here and now quote something of a disproof of the greenhouse gas theory. Take the theory of why the earth's moon has extremely high temperatures in the illuminated portion. It's because (and don't mistake this fact) the moon doesn't have an atmosphere to protect it from reaching temperatures hot enough to cook flesh. The politicians and political pseudoscientists are obviously prevaricating, in offering a greenhouse gas theory. I believe my contentions are incontrovertible proof that the greenhouse gas theory is a myth made up to pseudojustify god knows what kind of laws as pseudoremedies. If the democrats are really the more honest political party, they ought to limit their theoretical bases to the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. It's a sad truth, but I believe that democrats are liars too. Please try to increase the truthfulness of the democratic party, Sen. Clinton. The U. S. is counting on you. So far, I do support you for the presidential race of 2008. Please don't disappont me, Sen. Clinton. The U. S. and the world needs the truth, not backroom deals that utilize lies about the evironment or anything else. I'm serious; any so-called scientist who espouses the greenhouse gas theory ought to be taken at face value (that he believes it), and have his credetials as a scientist yanked. Offer me pseudoscience? Okay? Let's get with it, Sen. Clinton. This is a true emergency. I'm the one who ought to be running for president. I've got the saavy to turn the U. S. and the world in the right direction. The U. S. politician tends to be a theoretical idiot, who ought to be taken at face value, and locked in a nut house for believing his own pseudotheories. Can you tell me, are U. S. politicians really insane? I'm telling you, they're acting like it, Sen. Clinton. That greenhouse gas pseudotheory is just one case in point. There are others. I really am sophisticated, although I've never received due credit for it, Sen. Clinton.
Respectfully,
Steve
Dear Senator Hillary R. Clinton:
Here's some clarification of the bogus greenhouse gas issue. Carbon dioxide does not have the physical properties of water. It is water that is acting like a greenhouse gas. However, the real greenhouse gas effect keeps the earth relatively cool, rather than relatively hot. It is the physical properties of water that acts like a greenhouse gas. The physical properties of carbon dioxide are not similar to water at atmospheric temperatures and pressures. The whole idea of carbon dioxide acting like a greenhouse gas is absolutely preposterous. Even if it did, it would be cooling the earth's atmosphere, not warming it. Water molecules aggregate into snow flakes and drops of water, forming atmospheric moisure in its various forms. It is this atmospheric water that acts like a greenhouse gas, not carbon dioxide. And I reiterate, the real greenhouse gas effect cools the earth, not warms it.
Respectfully,
Steven Anthony Malinowski (aka Steve Bray)

ps: I wrote this clarification a while back (I don't remember what date), but I'm finally making myself fax it to you. I've had it on my home page for weeks.
It got cold overnight again. It reached a low of 36.5 degrees Fahrenheit, at 7:00 am this morning, at my place in northern Orange County. This isn't the coldest place in northern Orange County either. This has been a pretty normal cold season this time. It was the last cold season that was unseasonably warm. Last season I didn't see a single instance of it getting down into the 30's. We normally get some overnight lows down in the 30's here, except for unusually warm cold seasons. We've had below freezing low temperatures at times here in the past.
I can relate this to the overall weather thing this season. They are having an unseasonably warm winter in the northeast, but that is not the experience of the rest of the country or the rest of the world entirely. One of the recent winters was severely biting cold in Russia, with some possibly dying of inadequate heating over there, while some here in the U. S. bitched about global warming. Not only are they wrong to blame carbon dioxide, they are wrong to overgeneralize to all places on the globe, which aren't necessarily having a noticable climatic warming. I've yet to find anyone considering the ice-age cycle, which has a period of about 100,000 years. We are definitely in the warming phase of one of the cycles of that ice-age waxing and waning of global temperatures. Unless they understand why the ice-age cycle is happening, how can they think they understand the global warming thing. They have to stand back and take a comprehensive overall view of things as best they can. Pointing a finger at the first, possibly wrong, thing they think of isn't likely to explain the situation.
Here's an interesting thought that just came to mind, and which I haven't had a chance to research yet. It is well known that Orange County was once under the sea. Has anyone ever considered the idea that perhaps during some ice-age cycles, the global warming is so intense, that the sea level is high enough to submerge the area now known as Orange County? Are they sure the submersal of Orange County isn't periodic, and related to the ice-age cycle overall? Could it be that scientists have jumped to the wrong conclusion, in assuming that the submersal of Orange County was a one-time thing, and that it wouldn't revert back to that? Can you imagine the return, by swimming, of sharks and whales to where Disneyland is now? It's possible, one way or another. To put this into better perspective, it is normal for the sea level to be very much lower during an ice age. It is normal for the sea's level to rise a lot upon leaving the ice age. And, this cycle is very long; about 100,000 years. Unless they understand the ice-age cycle, and how it works, how can they sensibly conclude that it's not just the ice-age warming phase that we're in that is solely responsible for any noticable global warming?
Not only that, they'd have to take into consideration what effect a permanent change in the earth's spin would have on global climates. Consider the effect, for instance, an asteroid or meteorite could have on the earth's spin, upon impact with the earth. Global climates were very different, and generally warmer, during the dinosaur period, and before the meteorite or asteroid collided with the earth, which conceivably changed climates on earth by altering the spin of the earth. That collision also is thought to have made most or all of the dinosaurs extinct, by changing things on earth so much. If that collision was able to change global climates permanently, one must consider the possibility of the collision, about a hundred years ago, causing or adding to the rate of global warming, again by altering the spin of the earth. That particular collision caused it to stay daytime, with no nighttime, for weeks, in a large area surrounding that impact.
This is looking like another letter to fax to Sen. H. R. Clinton. I hope she's paying attention to me on this, and consulting with real experts, rather than the political bozos who would try to sell her pseudo-theory of climate change. If my theories about all of this are ever officially accepted, I sure hope I'm the one who gets credit, because I deserve some credit.
