Of course, that would make perfect sense. The higher the albedo - the larger fraction of the light is reflected and thus will pass through the atmosphere twice, which in turn increases the impact of greenhouse gasses.Originally Posted by Jantar

Yes I am concerned on two counts...
1) I am conerned that "Global warming, green house, CO2 emmisions..."or what ever we are calling change infulenced by mans inhabitation of the planet, is being used as a tool to tax the masses...
2) I am scared the warnings are correct....I reason that we cannot be taking billions of tons and barrels of fossil fuels that are laying relitively inert in the ground, and converting them to both gasses and particulate matter in the atmosphere without affecting the equilibrium of the planet.

Good god. Who does this stuff? This whole article has obviously been written by a warmer. There are two major indications that this hasn't been written by anyone with a science backgraound, and that it is by a warmer.
The first and major reason is that skeptics do not make claims, they analyse claims by others and find the errors. This means that the warmers position should have been on the left and labled warmer, and the skeptics version on the right and labled counter.
The second reason is that the skeptics evidence has been twisted and distorted by omitting much of importance and highlighting suppporting evidence as if it were the major evidence. egExcludes the information that when there are truely rural sites close to an urban site that often the rural site shows no warming, or a much smaller degree of warming than the urban site, which shows that the alloance for UHI effect is far too small. Then there is fact that both NASA and CRU define rural as a population less than 250000 people, yet still call Christchurch a rural site."Many of these are in urban centres which have been expanding and using more energy. When these stations observe a temperature rise, they are simply measuring the "urban heat island effect". In addition, coverage is patchy, with some regions of the world almost devoid of instruments.

Yeah, right!

Gees guys.. Its like though as if the world is gonna blow up tomorrow at approximately 0800 hours and 32 seconds!
The World is just doing what it has been doing for its entire life! The dinosaurs were living happily. Then BAM! Ice age. and then.. Uh oh.. That Ice starts melting. Seas rise. Kills off everything that has survived on the ice. Then Ice forms again. (This is where us HUMANS noticed alot of ice about) Then hello.. Ice starts to melt again (HUMANS are going holy shit!! Global warming!! RUN AWAY!!! FARRRKK!!)
This is my view on this whole "global warming" bullshit. Its bullshit! The world is doing what it has been doing forever. Way before us humans came about! Okay.. We may of helped to speed it up a little bit.. But other than that, There aint no global warming..
Have any of you ever watched Ice Age 1 followed by Ice age 2? They are some really awesome movies. They may be kids movies, But they are right about the world.
The only stupid question is a question not asked!

Oh fuck. The bastards will do the same as the "imaginary friend" mob and become tax-free.

He shows several plots of global temperature (surface and satellite) over the last 30 years. The time series fluctuates around a trend line with frequent excursions up to +/- 2 standard deviations and 1998 standing out as a larger excursion. (1 standard deviation is around 0.3-0.35 C.) It's been doing this for 30 years, since the trend picked up. It's still doing it.
This article on Realclimate presents what the global climate models say should be happening:

Trend + fluctuations.
I found it odd that people who claim to be sceptics can get so excited about the lastest fluctuation in a time series.
