  • Global Warming  is the biggest HOAX in history.

  • The NASA model was developed by Hansen. He had it programmed to predict a rapid increase in OHC based on the questionable CO2-based AGW hypothesis. Because of a major weakness in the AGW hypothesis (the never realized positive feedback loops) NASA's model is unable to predict OHC correctly, let alone the world's climate.

    Colorado researchers to consider Arctic ice tipping point

    .

    A research effort led by the University of Colorado Boulder, will consider whether areas like the Beaufort Sea and the adjacent Canada Basin have passed a ‘tipping point’ and now are essentially sub-Arctic zones where ice disappears each summer.

  • No Need to Panic About Global Warming

    There's no compelling scientific argument for drastic action to 'decarbonize' the world's economy.

    "The wall street journal"

  • Coleman has no education in the field of climate change. Coleman sees himself as an expert on weather (albeit a journalism degree in 1957 from the University of Illinois), not on climate or climate change.

  • @CaeserOct "Me write pretty but no know science. Oh well."

  • The weather channel online has facts that back up global warming, just look at the record high temps in the last ten years and record cold, in my city it is 50 high records vs 2 low records, this guys is a fraud

  • @livingproofof Yeah, I've caught a bit of the Weather channel recently, and they had a special on extreme weather and global warming, several months ago. I'm not really familiar with this yahoo fraud John Coleman, but the fact of the matter is you can't sue people for supporting a scientific theory, although right-wingers certainly wish they could.

    My city as well has been experiencing extreme weather for several years now. It started out many years ago as off, not it's just full out extreme.

  • ..now it's just full out extreme, rather.

    And if you catch the news you might see Japan experiencing inordinate amounts of snow, I coudln't tell you how much, but I saw one old man's house pretty much buried somewhere, and there was an ice rink roof collapse somewhere in Eastern Europe maybe, due to extreme snow.

    Roof collapsing, something the US has to call in the National Guard to many a places now to get the inordinate amounts of snow off.

  • @livingproofof

    And your City is your world ? Right *o)

  • @PrairLeDogged Excuse me, the extreme weather discussed below and the roof cave in this week, as well as flooding all over Asia etc... are just the beginning of the extreme weather we have in store. I suggest you prepare for it instead of spreading your usual denier lies all over Youtube

  • @Nightversion'n'

    Have you your placards and sandwich board ready ~ "The end is Nighty"

  • Personally, I hope it does go to court. Then we can find out exactly how many of these proclaimed scientists, are actually scientists. We can then put all the evidence of the table and watch these idiots try and refute it. I'm game.

  • theres a difference between natural co2 an chemically combusted co2, just like added sugar an natural sugar

  • If you could see John Coleman on KUSI, you would realize that he isn't quite all there. Seriously, I think he is senile/insane.

  • 9000 PHD's dont believe Man is causing earth temperature to warm. Did any of you eco-nuts catch that? Sound like more than the UN's 1,000 so-called scientist with manipulate results orient research.

  • @TheNamaste2012 The people who don't like this video probably understand that a person cannot be sued for supporting a scientific theory

    duh?

  • The truth of this is obvious to someone that understands the science behide it.

  • how can 1000 people dislike this?

    

  • "Man-made global warming" is a hoax.

  • @Nightversionn

    you are so right!

    "my son went to uni..came out a twisted vegan nob head"

    I blame the genes. I think you need to give him some magic mushrooms and tell him about the 60s

    I will grant you vegans are generally really annoying lol

  • @23peacefrog Hey there they may be annoying but they (vegans) are doing a lot for the environment by not eating meat with a vegetarian diet. There is a statistic that livestock is a huge portion of greenhouse effect. I'd have to look it up.

  • How is this lawsuit coming along folks? ahahahahah

  • @TheSaltyAdmiral hows all the cult predictions coming along ... has one single claim made by the discredited AGW theory come true ?

  • @NeverMINDtheBO11OCKS

    You did not answer my question. How is the lawsuit going?

    Yes the predictions have either been accurate, or underestimative.

    Ask anyone in science or at your local university. The most trustworthy source for science is the big science magazines, like "Nature". This is because nothing get published without serious peer-reviewing. After that comes universities, institutions and governments.

    What you call "cult" is what sane people call the western science community.

  • @TheSaltyAdmiral You will be waiting a long time to get an answer about the pretend lawsuit, only in right-wing land can you "sue someone" for supporting a scientific theory. It is just wishful thinking on their part.

  • @TheSaltyAdmiral "Yes the predictions have either been accurate, or underestimative" name just 1 .

    What is your big problem with them? Did you have a bad trip or were you too square to trip at all? It was a long time ago, get over it!

  • @23peaceToad

    You were taught by them you fool ~ they've infiltrated the education system and vast sections of the media ~ my son went into Uni a level headed individual came out a twisted Vegan knob head ~ yep so a bad trip hip OK !!

  • @DoggyStyle @shitfire @Cleopatra

    "my son... a twisted Vegan knob head"

    Wow.

    Shitfire, in the past couple of years, I've seen you lie, insult, make threats, use different accounts to cower behind, make racist statements, and even pretend to care about "birds."

    But with this post, you are officially the most offensive turd burglar on youtube.

    I can't imagine how awful it would be to be your son.

  • The Global Warming Debate is a disinformation campaign

    Nothing more than stalling for time by the elite and their sheep like followers

    & we ignore other problems to focus on this issue. I hope people will not be too surprised if we fix the co2 thing you turn around & shit there's no bees to pollinate your crops, no tuna left eat... We are witnessing an extinction event now

    "From a purely evolutionary point of view, warm periods have always benefited plants and animals. The world has thrived during the warming periods between the ice ages. Cold periods have always caused serious survival problems for all organisms including mankind. Scientific studies show that there will be 40,000 fewer deaths each year in the U.S. In Britain alone, scientists estimate that about 30,000 deaths a year are related to cold winter weather. "

    Wind Expansion Slows

    Investors also are cooling on wind investment because of falling power prices, a lack of transmission infrastructure and the possibility that federal subsidies may expire next year. T. Boone Pickens, one of wind power’s biggest boosters, decided to focus on promoting gas-fueled trucking fleets after canceling plans for a Texas wind farm in 2010.

  • @laurelbush

    'had to happen' the problem with you is that you don't think long term! Just like when you get confused with short term weather and long term climate!

  • @blackadderthe4 do you mean i missed the 100- 150 year droughts in the US over the last 100- 150 years.

  • The fact that FOX is the network willing to air this, makes me nervous.. Because i do not believe that man is the biggest reason for global warming, but FOX is a fucking propaganda channel..

    Al Gore is a fag..

  • @MarkHorp any channel that presents one side of an argument is a propoganda channel, take the BBC, it is supposed to be independent, it only pushes one side of the agw story.

  • @laurelbush

    Well, the mainstream media is generally controlled by corporate interests..

  • @MarkHorp good news in America though, i think denial was a crass word but good news nonetheless.

    Climate change skepticism seeps into science classrooms

    Some states have introduced education standards requiring teachers to defend the denial of man-made global warming. A national watchdog group says it will start monitoring classrooms.

  • @laurelbush

    The wonders of the internet..

    Without it everyone would still believe every single word said on TV..

  • @laureloilcompanybush Rather, I love the fake denier conversation you're having with yourself again

  • @Nightversionn I wonder if Mr or miss Horp also likes to play on Brokeback Mountain and pretend to be meteorologist with a wife and 2 children? But really thinks they are pretty in pink

  • @MarkGubbish More nonsense from the resident comment troll and denier sock puppet

  • @Nightversionn

    These threads sure are quiet when "laurelbush" and her nine other personalities aren't posting.

  • @YourKidsArentSpecial Yeah, there are at least nine personalities, but countless other sock accounts. After a long time a pattern does become evident. Now it's so obvious he just needs some new material, but there isn't any.

  • Peer Reviewed Study: Increased Solar Flux Drove Global Warming During 20th Century

    New research published in 2011 & 2012 continues to build on a major 1999 study that found increased sun activity (solar flux, etc.) is a significant cause of modern global warming

  • "Weather channel, my favorite channel"

    Who are you kidding? Either you are saying that to suck up to him witch makes you a liar, or you just admitted to being the most boring person on this planet. Or maybe you just have a strange fascination with weather, but that ain't likely.

  • "Al Gore Sued by 30,000 Scientists!" Open video: Al Gore sued by one moronic weather man.

    LMAO@ Scientifically illiterate climate change deniers!

  • @cyxgun I prefer to believe the science than to believe a man like Al Gore who claimed he invented the internet

  • @BelaFleckFan If you value the opinion of scientists, then you should be as worried about climate change as he is. This "controversy in science" is a myth. The scientific consensus is that we're fucking up the planet, and that it might not be reversible if we don't stop.

  • @cyxgun That's right, there is no controversy, it's a manufactured fake debate, a well-funded one by the oil industry

  • @Nightversionn Right. Follow the money! A large number of megacorporations have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo of burning vast amounts of carbon-based fuel and dumping the waste into the atmosphere. Of course they will try to stop anything that threatens that, and the easiest way is to spread misinformation to gullible people like Belafleckfan on the internet. Learn 2 fact check and don't trust science info from any site with advertisements of any kind!

  • @cyxgun

    Aaaahh a fresher ~ can I interest you in a green investment bond or two?

    I can reduce your Carbon Foolprint by you giving me loads of dosh ~ guaranteed to save the planet and cure warts.

  • @cyxgun 10 years ago they called it "Global Warming" When the evidence proved the ice caps were growing and the planet was getting cooler they called it "Climate Change"

    You can believe Al gore and dismiss the evidence submitted by 1000's of scientists, however I choose to believe science over the word of a politician. especially the word of Al Gore who claimed he created the internet! youtube.com/watch?v=BnFJ8cHAlc­o

  • @BelaFleckFan More denier misinformation on display for the world to see

  • @Nightversionn Yes it very sad that people deny the science and believe lying politicians.

  • @BelaFleckFan

    "I choose to believe science over the word of a politician"

    Excellent! Then you'll certainly believe 150 years worth of physics which says atmospheric CO2 absorbs and re-emits longwave radiation, and is the most integral non-condensing gas to the greenhouse effect.

    "Science" also tells us that adding more CO2 to the atmosphere creates an enhanced greenhouse effect.

    Congratulations on NOT being a science denier!

  • @YourKidsArentSpecial Without C02 and the greenhouse effect planet Earth would be cold and uninhabitable, the Oceans would be dead and there would be no plant life.

    If C02 was responsible for global warming why has the climate been getting cooler the past 13 years when there is more C02? The main cause of a warmer climate is Sun spot activity, believe it or not but the sun effects our climate more than humans exhaling and driving SUV's. Or are you a tinfoil hat Sun denier?

  • @BelaFleckFan "If C02 was responsible for global warming why has the climate been getting cooler the past 13 years when there is more C02?" Simple - it hasnt. Next stupid question.

  • @wildcrazygoats First you said I hate Al gore which is an untruth and next you say that the climate is getting warmer despite all the evidence to the contrary. Even Al gore and his small group of followers have admitted its getting cooler and even renamed "Global Warming" to "Climate Change" so as to continue the facade. Obviously critical thinking and honesty is not something that comes naturally to you, so I will not reply to any more of your silly irrational comments. You have a nice day now!

  • @BelaFleckFan "Global Warming" to "Climate Change" Stupid argument - even for you. You can find on the internet memos from GOP hack Frank Luntz to Bush et al talking about promoting the term "climate change" over "global warming" because focus groups find it less threatening & scary .

    "Even Al gore and his small group of followers have admitted its getting cooler " is a pathetic lie

  • @BelaFleckFan "so I will not reply to any more of your silly irrational comments. " typical denier - make ridiculous unsubstantiated comments, regurgitate the standard lies, then run away when challenged. You have learnt well from the creationists who use the same arguments & tactics - its called"pigeon chess"

  • @BelaFleckFan

    How disappointing!

    Two denialist talking points in the same post?

    I've seen more, buddy, but it ain't like you folks could ever be accused of over achieving.

    "Construction of a Composite Total Solar Irradiance (TSI) Time Series from 1978 to present" from PMOD makes it very clear that "Sun spot activity" was DEFINITELY not responsible for " Past Decade Warmest on Record According to Scientists in 48 Countries" (NOAA)

    Back it up and try it again, Hoss.

  • @BelaFleckFan "humans exhaling " - humans exhaling make absolutely no difference to atmospheric CO2 levels - you are just regurgitating another bullshit denier claim. The reason is very basic science.....see if you can work out why. (thats a big word isnt it : S-C-I-E-N-C-E )

  • @BelaFleckFan This is just... not.... true! Google "global warming evidence" and click on the FIRST LINK. This is NASA, a non-partisan, unbiased organization, and they have a TON of evidence conclusively showing that climate change is real, and that it is man-made. What has happened is that YOU are not getting your science information from actual scientists, but biased news organizations that spread lies (such as your report that thousands of scientists disagree with warming.)

  • @cyxgun When did NASA become "a non-partisan, unbiased organization"?

    And to claim that scientists who don't work for NASA are "News organisations that spread lies" is preposterous.

  • @BelaFleckFan "And to claim that scientists who don't work for NASA are "News organisations that spread lies" is preposterous." It seems English may not be your first language - comprehension is obviously not your strong point

  • @cyxgun "but biased news organizations that spread lies (such as your report that thousands of scientists disagree with warming.)" The denier industry looks to FoxNews as a scientific institution

  • @BelaFleckFan blah blah blah......AL GORE.......blah blah blah.....A GORE. Give you hatred of a Gore a rest - it is of no relevance to climate science.

  • @wildcrazygoats I never said I hated Mr Al Gore because I do not hate him, what I said was I trust science over the word of a politician, especially a politician who claims as Mr Gore did that he "created the Internet

    Mr John Coleman is asking for a debate on the subject of "Global Warming" 4 years later and Al Gore and his scientists are still refusing to discuss this subject with the scientific community.... and then we have you trying to censor people like me with your lies.

  • @BelaFleckFan " Al Gore and his scientists" WTF is that supposed to mean "his scientists" . Forget about GORE you idiot - he is totally irrelevant to climate science ....... you know that global socialist conspiracy supported by NASA , the Pentagon, the worlds scientific institutions, governments of all political flavours

  • @BelaFleckFan "10 years ago they called it "Global Warming"" more denier bullshit. over 10 years ago Republican adviser Frank Luntz wrote "The Environment : A cleaner, Healthier, Safer America" for George Bush - it encouraged the Bush administration to use only the term "climate change" because in GOP focus groups it sounded less threatening & more uncertain than "global warming" (along with other deceptions) . The memo is available on the internet - you only have your ignorance to lose

  • @PrairieDogged

    "CFCs are 4 times heavier than air"

    I think you are on to something! Shall we bring back CFCs?

  • cont... after all, despite the fact that the IPCC predicted that there was going to be a one degree rise of temperature by 2010, it actually got cooler.

  • Virtually 100% of climate scientists say the atmosphere is heating up and mankind is playing a role.

    Who is more credible? I would go with climate scientists on this topic.

  • @Nightversionn oh dear i hope the skeptical scientists are right, after all only one person has to be right, the others act like sheep of there is a meal to be had out of it.

  • @laureloilcompanybush, that's really rich, accusing scientists of on the one hand being sheep, on the other, dishonest, frauds, doing it for a meal (that is obviously YOU), it's really rich of you accusing scientists of lying all the while hiding your ties to Big Oil

  • @Nightversionn where exactly do you get your evidence? Every bit of global warming is fraud, Co2 is too heavy to rise up to the atmosphere and cause warming of the earth, and the ozone layer keeps heat in, if there was a hole in it why would it be hotter?

  • @45678ret

    CFC's are 4x heavier than air too ~ eco-loons turn physics on its head to grab your cash.

  • @YourKidsArentSpecial what are you talking about? chemistry and flight are two totally different things, wait am why am I arguing with an obvious troll?

  • @YourKidsArentSpecial yeah it does make sense, because airplanes use aerodynamics to fly and co2 molecules by themselves can't float to the ozone layer, so please research topics first before attacking me, and another thing is that you won't win an argument if you call me stupid and conservative over and over again friend.

  • @YourKidsArentSpecial i went to check out your website and unfortunately instead of finding facts for both sides if found another biased site, it also seems that you are very passionate about this subject, and by passionate i mean you attack anyone who has different opinions of you and spam these videos, so if you find a non biased site contact me and then we'll talk

  • @45678ret

    "another biased site"

    Just so we have this straight, you "think" that the AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF PHYSICS is a "biased site."

    Sorry, buddy.

    It just doesn't get more objective than that.

    Again. If you want to "think" that the earth is flat, that's fine. But when you come on a public forum trying to convince people that your anti-science fantasies are fact, then expect to be taken to task for it.

  • @YourKidsArentSpecial that was not the american institute of physics you sent to was not the american institute of physics, and where are you coming off insulting me? All i have been trying to do is have a debate but then you who goes around all day attacking people on global warming videos and making crap up? Yes, I guess I'M the idiot in this instead of the one presenting false claims and calling the other a conservative idiot.

  • @45678ret

    "that was not the american institute of physics you sent"

    Really?

    Let's have a look at EXACTLY what I "sent you":

    "The AIP has a great primer on AGW"

    The "AIP" is INDEED the American Institute of Physics.

    And yes, if you contend that "Co2 is too heavy to rise up into the atmosphere," a claim that is DEMONSTRABLY false, then you ARE "the idiot."

    The other day you enjoined me to "please research topics."

    Now it's your turn, friend. Unless you want to keep looking stupid.

  • @YourKidsArentSpecial " "Co2 is too heavy to rise up into the atmosphere," This claim is regularly bounced around the deniers echo chamber. I wonder how they account for CFCs being found in the stratosphere , as these are only of man made origin and far higher MW than CO2.

  • @wildcrazygoats

    "I wonder how they account for CFCs"

    You're giving them WAY too much credit. Deniers don't think that far ahead. And you can show them that their conclusion violates physical laws until your blue in the face.

    They not only won't believe you, they'll usually get angry.

    "Belief perseverance" is an interesting, albeit pathological, phenomenon.

  • @YourKidsArentSpecial You are right.....I had argument with one who maintained CO2 does not absorb heat. I suggested they look up the widely available IR absorbance spectrum and compare with spectra of N2, O2 & Ar. Of course this was dismissed as it was biased science. So I guess IR spectra are only valid until they scan CO2 - then it becomes part of a global socialist conspiracy

  • @wildcrazygoats

    Yes and I started arguing with one called "brospec" it turned out to be a sock account for 'wildcrazygoats' that was a turd up for the books ~ LOL

    Whatcha reckon to that???

  • @45678ret How's Fox News for an unbiased media outlet?

  • @Pulpgimp unfortunately all news is very biased, it's just your choice of what you watch to get around the bias and find the truth

  • @45678ret

    Hey, buddy!

    Did you read that AGW primer from the AIP yet?

    In case you couldn't find it, the article is titled "The Carbon Dioxide Greenhouse Effect" and can be found at AIP(dot)org

  • @YourKidsArentSpecial alright i'll check it out

  • @45678ret

    By the way, the psychological phenomenon you are presenting is called "confirmation bias."

    Check it out, then come back and tell me that PHYSICISTS are "biased" cuz they don't support your idiotic claims.

    Good luck!

    Fact of the matter is, climate change is already here, duh?

    Later today, January 13th, “More or Less” returns to the bet, which I am pleased to say I won, though I note that this bet, or its conclusion, is not yet mentioned on Annan’s Wikipedia entry despite his other climate bet being discussed.

  • cont........ It was made between climatologist James Annan and myself. His work involves analysing climatic data and validating climate models. He accepted enthusiastically as he has a perchant for taking on 'sceptics.' The presenter said that if the global temperature didn’t go up in the next few years, “there would be some explaining to do.”

    To my surprise interest in my article was worldwide, and eventually the BBC’s radio programme “More or Less” got in touch. The programme is about numbers and statistics and they set up a series of interviews. You can hear the programme here.

    Almost at the last minute the programme-makers came up with the idea of a bet. It was for £100 that, using the HadCrut3 data set, there would be no new record set by 2011.

    Combine that with sea surface temperatures in the Bering Sea which are far below normal, and our chicken little friends are looking at a very bad summer.

    Icelights: Your Burning Questions About Ice & Climate

    “Overall, Antarctic sea ice has grown slightly over the past thirty years.”

    “In Southern Hemisphere winter months, ice extent has increased by around one percent per decade.”

    “In the summer, ice has increased by two to three percent per decade.”

  • @laurelbush Yet again someone who hasn't identified the difference between antarctic SEA ice which melts and reforms every year and the rapidly decreasing LAND ice in antarctica.1) Which do you think is more significant, decreasing land ice which goes into the sea and is or increasing sea ice? 2) Estimates of recent changes in Antarctic land ice range from losing 100 Gt/year to over 300 Gt/year.(Chen et al. 2006, Wingham et al. 2006, Rignot et al. 2008b, Cazenave et al. 2009 and Velicogna 2009)

  • @checkyoursources and to their credit not one word of AGW in their NSIDC article .

  • @checkyoursources (Chen et al. 2006, Wingham et al. 2006

    that's a bit of an old article isn't it.

  • cont.....  The US has no useful icebreakers. Money for such has been requested for years, but deleted from the Federal budget because new icebreakers would send the wrong message relative to the ‘Global Warming’ dogma.

  • Alaska Icebreaker Saga

    “Our only small icebreaker is now basically stuck trying to convey a Russian oil tanker to Nome, Alaska.”

  • cont..... lots of solar power companies gone to the wall.
