Science teaches us that the earth is at least 4 billion years old. Most say its closer to 6 billion years.Science teaches us that there have been countless cycles of heating and cooling of this planet from day one.Thanks to Science we (man) have been keeping weather records for a little over 100 years.But now science wants us to believe without question that the earth is headed toward a life-shattering catastrophe because of man made global warming. All based on a little over 100 years worth of records.Isn’t that a bit like trying to predict the stock market tomorrow by reading nothing but yesterdays Wall Street Journal? Are we really ready to end our way of living for a ‘possibility’ that has no real evidence behind it? How can you judge the weather patterns to come, from a sample of weather patterns of 100 years out of 6,000,000,000 (that’s billion) Is that arrogance, ignorance, or just out right dishonesty on the part of these ‘honest well meaning scientist’?

We have been keeping records for 100 years. However, we can research climate changes through, among other things, studying the cryosphere (which can give evidence from 100 million years ago).

Apart from your age of the Earth mistake (the Sun is only 4.5 billion years old, and the Earth is no older, so any teacher who tells you it's 6 billion years old is flat-out wrong), you make one big error:"All based on a little over 100 years worth of records."This is incorrect. While the directly measured surface temperature record has only been around for that long, scientists have other methods of finding past temperatures of the planet. For example, they look at ice cores:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_corebut there are many other methods, with which they've calculated the planet's temperature millions of years into the past.http://www.globalwarmingart.com/wiki/Image:65_Myr_Climate_Change_pnghttp://www.globalwarmingart.com/wiki/Image:Phanerozoic_Climate_Change_Rev_pngIt's not just a matter of seeing how much the temperature has changed in the past. Scientists examine what has caused these past temperature changes. Without going too much into detail, they've determined that the only plausible explanation for the current rapid global warming is that human greenhouse gas emissions are the primary cause.http://www.globalwarmingart.com/wiki/Image:Climate_Change_Attribution_png

So the entire science of climatology is simply reading "a sample of weather patterns of 100 years out of 6,000,000,000"? I thought there was a little more to it than that. You're not being dishonest yourself are you?

Right on,I am wondering that myself also if the other methods are accurate? Isn"t it open to interpretation?You are not going to tell me none of the samples are degraded but were used anyway because yes,that probally did happen,all this while some are still saying mankind has only been on the earth for 10,000 years.Which I know is wrong.so who is beleivable?I truly think its in our best intrests to clean up our earth but not the way we will go about it.I wish I had truth but I fear all mighty dollar will win.
