It's a made up number.
The other day I was in Grnaby Mass at the Dino park. Sitting there I was thinking about how all these foot prints from "Dinosaurs" got there. I mean they lived in "tropical" climates. Then I got it. It was all those SUV's the cave folks were driving around causing the climate to be hot enough for them to live up here in the north. I mean even North Dakota has dino bones.
Then some how we had an ice age, then a hot spell, then another ice age, then another hot spell and so on. You see It IS NOT PROVEN SCIENCE. It's a science theory that needs to be debated and not put out as absolute fact. you can go back in global weather history and find plenty of times when the earth warmed and they are well BEFORE we had cars.
Now further down in this thread you revert to the Al Gore tactic of attacking those of us who "question" the validity of their claims by this statement: "[COLOR="Blue"]Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt."[/COLOR

You seem to think because I listen to the U.S. Academy of Science, The Royal Society, NASA and NOAA that I also embrace what some dolt politician like Al Gore says, I don't. When it comes to science, I listen to scientists. I don't get my info from FOXNEWS, MSNBC or CNN or a politician with an agenda. I do my own research. When the ultra vast majority of the scientific community agrees on something, I embrace it. The same people who put people in space and predict hurricanes are the people I listen to when it comes to climate change. I'm not a tree hugger nor do I care about what I can't change.
I'm skeptical about everything. I don't believe in ghosts, psychics, gods of any name shape or form, conspiracy theories, magnetic healing bracelets, crystals, homeopathic drugs, etc. I dismiss all of those based on science. Maybe some believe in a few of those supernatural things I listed. That would explain why they would ignore science in the arena of climate change. I am consistent.
Again, not my opinion. Not a news report. Not a political ad. Peer reviewed scientific data.
You say you were in a dinosour park. I'm sure they gave you facts about the age of the earth, when dinosaurs roamed, etc. This is based mostly using carbon dating, a scientific method. Carbon dating is pure science. Undisputed science that some still say is wrong, that humans walked along with the great lizards only 5,000 years ago when it was created by a god. (You can visit such a whacko facility in Kentucky called the Creation Museum) Do you believe carbon dating and the scientific consensus that our rock is actually 4.6 billions years old? I do. I know very little about how they carbon date things but I embrace it because the ultra vast majority of scientists agree carbon dating is accurate.
