how to write this article
Atmospheric temperature and "greenhouse gases" are indeed related, but the causality is the reverse of what Greenhouse Theory advocates say. Changes in the concentration of [[carbon dioxide]] in the air did not cause the warming and cooling. It was just the other way around: warming and cooling caused changes in CO2 levels. It takes about 800 years for the CO2 to increase after a period of [[global warming]], an inconvenient fact that [[Al Gore]] decided to leave out of his road show. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 13:42, 12 November 2008 (EST)

==Ice ages and Creationism==
I don't want to step on any toes, but I think that the bulk of scientific investigation on "ice ages" posits that (1) the earth is thousands of millions of years old and (2) there is evidence of glaciers coming down from the North Pole through North America and (3) long periods of cold weather are associated with the spread of this ice and (4) there were "[[interglacial]]" periods of temperate weather.
I also gather that there is some disagreement in the [[Creation Science]] community about the timing of ice ages. While most scientists say the cycles of cooling and warming occurred over a many tens of thousands of years, young earth creationists posit an earth created much more recently (less than 10,000 years ago).
I'd like to be able to write about this in a way that gives respect to the (various?) creationist views while also accurately reporting the mainstream science.
We don't want to censor "non-conservative" views, but I don't suppose we want to endorse atheistic views either. So please, somebody, help me find a balance here. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 10:48, 22 February 2011 (EST)
