    the Singer-Avery factor

    Eleven years ago Willi Dansgaard of Denmark, Hans Oeschger of Switzerland, and Claude Lorius of France shared the Tyler Prize, environmental equivalent of the Nobel Prize. Although their award citations did not mention the 1,500-year climate cycle they discovered or its power for forecasting changes in the global atmosphere, nevertheless their discovery uncovers the most plausible cause of global warming.

    Recently, S. Fred Singer and Dennis T. Avery coauthored ‘Unstoppable Global Warming: Every 1,500 Years’ and as the title clearly implies this is not man-made CO2 cause and effect. It has nothing to do with a 100-year industrial technology contribution. Its cause is the changing activities of the sun approximately 93,000,000 miles away.

    Therefore, there can be two supplementary aspects to global warming: the circumstantial local short term effect and the evidential global long term effect. The local one is the CO2 factor of greenhouse gases. The global one is the Singer-Avery factor. Unfortunately, this latter factor requires multiple generations of human existence for its verification. On the other hand, it raises two questions on psychological factors crucial to the immediate well being of present global human populations: their close comfort and health hazard. 1. Why do some people smoke even if they know it causes mouth, throat, or lung cancer? 2. Why do some people consume refined sugar, trans fats, or high cholesterol food stuff even if they know the result is obesity, diabetes, and cardiac diseases? It is obvious that most people only care about immediate gratifications rather than long term consequences at the end of their lives. But there is one more psychological factor not widely known: the dread factor.

    I smoke. I do it because I like it but I don't like to do it in front of other people because THEY make me feel bad about doing it because of the stares they give me and the "thanks for the cancer" comments.

    Re: the Singer-Avery factor

    why thank you mkirkpatrick this is gonna be both challenging and informative being part of this. and well Big hello to you from the heart of Lebanon :mrgreen

    sillysally , it is the opposite to me, am a nonsmoker and feel awkward around people who smoke . but aside that, ill not go on Freudian preaching in here and trace some kind of hidden psychological 'needs' that set background for your smoking habit, am just gona tell you that cancer is not some sort of joke, believe me i am currently studying an Oncology course and i think people should be aware of what they are doing to their bodies. we introduce lots of kinds of poison, like me i rarely go to the gym, and i do eat junk food , these all need to be changed. i raised the low self esteem issue here, coz i believe we all somehow believe our bodies aren't really worthy of a good health and thats why we overload it with such junk without having second thoughts.

    Re: the Singer-Avery factor

    You just made me realize something. I'm like a fat person, I never see them eating in public, just like how I don't like to smoke in public. We're closet eaters and smokers, but everyone can see a fat person and smell a smoker so we aren't hiding anything really.

    Sometimes, I even try. I've quit many times but I've never been much of a quitter in any sense. Usually if someone keeps telling me to quit or makes me feel bad, that doesn't work. I usually quit if I get a cough. What about you, fatty? Just teasing. I think health conscious people look just as silly as over eaters and smokers, especially the ones I see jogging along side the road inhaling all the carbon monoxide from the cars passing by. Plus, isn't our number of heart beats pretty much predetermined? Aren't they just speeding up an end to their lives too?
