What do Petoskey Stones have to do with "Global Warming"

Change their perspective on what and think outside the box about what?

I would concur that those that buy into the "global warming" crap have rocks in their head.

He believes that stones which apparently have nothing to do with glaciers were dropped by glaciers that aren't there now and haven't been there for a REALLY long time are evidence of previous episodes of global warming which we know had nothing to do with human activity and because there were previous episodes of global warming he somehow believes this is proof that THIS episode of global warming has nothing to do with human activity.


Which is odd, because I don't think anybody except religious nuts are saying that the earth hasn't warmed and cooled lots of times before.



Clear?

Petoskey stones arent rounded by glaciers. Glaciers pulevrize and scour, they dont round. Petoskey stones were rounded by water.

And you're sure of this how?

Have you ever used a rock polisher?

So, if nature clearly cycles, then what other than a left wing political agenda intent on "progressive change" is "Global Warming"?

I can tell you: Nothing.

That volcano in Chile has dumped more crud into the atmosphere in a week than people will do in decade.

The left wants to control people with rules that limit their freedoms. They will find any excuse to get those rules in place so they can disarm and disable free men and women. Global warming is just such an excuse.

Comparison of CO2 emissions from volcanoes vs. human activities.
Scientists have calculated that volcanoes emit between about 130-230 million tonnes (145-255 million tons) of CO2 into the atmosphere every year (Gerlach, 1999, 1991). This estimate includes both subaerial and submarine volcanoes, about in equal amounts. Emissions of CO2 by human activities, including fossil fuel burning, cement production, and gas flaring, amount to about 27 billion tonnes per year (30 billion tons) [ ( Marland, et al., 2006) - The reference gives the amount of released carbon (C), rather than CO2, through 2003.]. Human activities release more than 130 times the amount of CO2 emitted by volcanoes--the equivalent of more than 8,000 additional volcanoes like Kilauea (Kilauea emits about 3.3 million tonnes/year)! (Gerlach et. al., 2002)
