Noahs' Ark and The Kyoto Protocol?

Question

What are some differences and simularities between Noahs' Ark and The Kyoto Protocol? For exapmle, God created the flood to "cleanse' the land and the Kyoto Protocol are trying to do something about global warming, they were/are both helping the earth.

Answer 1

The Flood (Deluge) was an extinction event. Global warming is not. Noah (Upnaptishin?) was not the only one who had advance warning of it and to make preparations. Either Noah's descendants dispersed throughout the world (and forgot their origin) or areas all over the world had warning of the impending disaster, because the Flood legend is universal. It is entirely likely that there was more than one Noah, and more than one Ark. It is also likely that the reason that Deluge legends are worldwide is that the Deluge was what destroyed Atlantis. What records would remain of our civilizations after a large oceanic meteor strike? Is this the reason the Sumerians started keeping records on clay tablets when they had materials available which were much easier to work?  The movie, Deep Impact, while quite scary, left out the fact that the 1,000 ft. tidal wave(s) would crest out at about 3,000 ft. above the mountains when they hit the Appalachaians.  Chicago would be totally flooded out as well, while on the West Coast all the cities would be annihilated.  Any survivors above ground would be stone deaf from ruptured eardrums.

Analysis of NOAA data indicates that there is, indeed, a global warming trend, or at least an increase in average annual temperatures from US reporting stations.

The average annual absolute temperature of the US has been increasing by 0.221% per century since the beginning of record-keeping in 1895. Because of the wild fluctuations in average annual temperature, the correlation of this exponential trend curve to the data is terribly poor, as is that of a straight-line or parabolic trend curve. Introducing sinusoidal components improves the correlation, but not significantly.

CO2 concentration in the atmosphere has increased markedly since the beginning of record-keeping in 1957. Unlike the temperature trend curve, a trend curve can be fit to the 12-month average CO2 data with a high degree of correlation. Whether this increase is anthropogenic, driven by the slight temperature increase, or driven by the volcano on which the readings are taken is a source of great contention.

What does become obvious when you analyze the data is that there is insufficient correlation between temperature and CO2 concentration to state with any certainty that there is a relationship between the two. You can FORCE a correlation by regressing similar trend curves against each other (linear, parabolic, or exponential), but the method is invalid, and you can do it with any pair of unrelated variables. For instance, the trend curve for CO2 concentration is nearly a perfect match for the trend curve for world increase in life expectancy.

What is extremely frustrating about the furor over global warming and the Kyoto Protocols is that our major greenhouse gas that IS responsible for the bulk of the greenhouse effect on Earth is totally ignored. It is really difficult to believe that an increase from 310ppm to about 400 ppm in CO2 concentration has a greater greenhouse effect than the 10,000 ppm to 40,000 ppm variations in water vapor in the atmosphere. As is made plain in ref. (2), H20 vapor and CO2 respond to the same IR wavelengths in almost exactly the same way.

Answer 2

The story of Noah's Ark is a simplistic myth about divine mass genocide which does not hold up under geological, metereological, biological, biogeographical, ecological or genetic scrutiny.  

The Kyoto Protocol is a proposal for international agreement to slow global warming, which has so many flaws that its effect on climate change would be too small to have much benefit.

Answer 4

You cant compare myth to reality, sorry.  Hope this does not fracture your ego, but the Noah's Ark thing is a Bible story, not real.  

You tell me how the almighty God was supposed to be cleansing the Earth by extermination most the life forms and covering the Earth with water?  Looks to me and most people to be a very unfair unjust cruel God.
