  • i can't find any peer review papers written on this subject by david evans. anyone have any links?

  • The debate has changed from whether the planet's climate is warming to whether humans are responsible, rather what can we do to slow to the warming. Corporations have won public relations debate.

  • Using similar simplistic maths logic as m1aws.

    - You only use 10% of your brain capacity at any one time.

    - You are on YouTube less than 1% of the time.

    - The average I Q =100.

    - Therefore recent dumbo comments about CO2 reflect 10%x1%x100 = an I Q level of 0.1

    tiny url. com / co2 -3- p c t-f a ll a c y

    This shows why the exchange of carbon between the atmosphere and other carbon reservoirs (ocean, living things), and explains the "3% fallacy" loved by m1aws.

  • @indulis1 My iq is 143 and I spend 80% of my time on youtube, baited by fools like yourself. Funny that. I just boiled the kettle to make a cup of tea, the bl**dy water turned milky when warmed! Out gassing billions of bubbles of aromatics. I wonder what non existence caused this huh!

    You should be hanging on to that theory to PROVE your lies but hey, even school kids know CO2 precedes warming.

  • berkeleyearth . org study results show that with the "bad stations" in or out, the temperature rise is happening, and matches the rise seen by other methods (satellite data etc). So endeth any credibility for your anti-science view and belief in the "worldwide government communist climate change scientist conspiracy".

    ""Our biggest surprise was that the new results agreed so closely with the warming values published previously by other teams in the US and the UK," said Prof Muller.

  • Comment removed

  • @m1aws You are completely incorrect. The latest analysis was funded in part by oil magnates the Koch brothers. "UC Berkeley physicists and statisticians that set out to challenge the scientific consensus on global warming is finding that ... [it]is producing results nearly identical to those underlying the prevailing view. The Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature project was launched by physics prof. Richard Muller" ber kel e y earth.org

  • Global warming is just 1 of thousands of lies told to us by the leaders of this world.

  • Comment removed

  • Very true ... Co2 is not rising sharply robzed you moron ... the greenhouse gases protect the planet ... global warming and cooling is cyclical .... the sun controls our weather.

  • @Salubriousme The sun is just ONE of the factors that controls the climate. There are people who study the different factors, and correct for them. For example, in the past when volcanoes were very active, there was more CO2, and the planet was hotter. Simple minds think that if the sun controlled the climate in the past, then *only* the sun can control it now. The truth is more complicated. And as far as CO2 not rising, where the bleep did you dream that up from? It is completely untrue!

  • This guy is just some failed IT data-entry monkey, he's obviously had "HR" issues with the rest of the team- his sneering and his demeanour speaks volumes.

    Ice age temperature rises were not caused by Co2 increase and no-one is claiming that it was. The precession of the earth on its axis causes the earth to go in and out of ice ages. The CO2 profile is merely responding to that rather than causing it.

    The physics of CO2 heat absorption is well known, and CO2 is definitely rising sharply.

  • The temperature on the moon varies from -387 Fahrenheit (-233 Celsius), at night, to 253 Fahrenheit (123 Celsius) during the day. This is evidence of the power of the sun across its static surface, for CD Global Warmists to say our Carbon Dioxide excess (390-450 ppm) has any relevance is absurd under such cosmic power! The TAX is purely to allow the UN to raid (steal) 3rd world economies, redesign their fuel resources and claim benefits from capping fossil fuels to regulate higher prices.

  • @Mezzaaaaa What is so interesting about your question is that you can use 400 million year old proxy data and represent it as fact, but thermometers are outright fallacious. Please remember that probably the greatest marine extinctions took place then and it lasted only about 500 thousand years. This is further evidence of CO2 as a strong amplifier of climate change. There, how did I do?

  • @Mezzaaaaa Wow, I love these questions. I know it is a loaded question, but I'll try not to be presumptuous. So what source tells you 4400 ppm? Do you reject the last 130 years measured w/ a thermometer? Young 2009, and Young 2010, both use proxy data to explain why it wasn't 4400, more like 3000 and was probably the reason this glacial period was so short lived. And no one is saying that CO2 is the primary driver of climate. The sun's output was also lower. So much was different than today.

  • Regarding most sunspot CO2 global warming science the dancing Wu-Shu Masters of Washington & Whitehall discovered that not only can you curve space & bend time but you can also warp the laws of solar physics merely by getting tenured scientists to repeat unscientific drivel about magnetic anomalies causing sunspots rather than the other way around & as for the reality of the star beginning to burn it’s iron all you’ve got to do is believe what you’re told & then dance & SHAKE YOUR BOOTY on cue.

  • He also keeps trotting out the "US temp stations are poorly sited on purpose- its a conspiracy!" rubbish. Just recently the Koch brothers who are oil barons co-funded Mueller (a nuclear physicist) to reanalyze all of the weather station data in the USA excluding the "suspect stations". And the result- "a global warming trend that is very similar to that previously reported by the other groups". So no conspiracy. Dr Evans keeps talking about this so-called (nonexistent) conspiracy. Even today.

  • @indulis1 The US temperature stations are nearly alln built up areas now. So your point of view is a fallacy. Here's the proof in four parts. I think yours is on part 4:

    watch?v=VDX2ExKYyqw

  • @m1aws You just don't get it do you- the new analysis was done by a CO2 climate change SKEPTIC & proved that there is no effect on the temperature rise if you leave the "suspect" urban stations in or out. You get pretty much the same rising temperature trend whether the "consipracy placed" stations are included or excluded from the analysis. Do you get it now? So David Evans is categorically wrong yet again-just like his claim that Argo data was hidden, took me 2 mins in google to find it

  • @indulis1 You just don't get it do you- If you remove all the stations that were included which showed a false positive then you end up with a true negative.

    Your 2 mins on Google ended up on other sites which make its money out of this scam.

    Lets do this by maths:

    CO2 absorption by light bandwidth =7%

    Amount of CO2 man made = 3%

    Total quantity of abortion in those bands = 50%

    So: 0.5x0.03x0.07 = The grand total of 1.28625e-06. That is mans influence on the atmosphere.

    U call me. Conspiracy?

  • @m1aws Your "maths" shows how little you understand the complexities of feedback in the climate system. Multiplying a few number together is invalid. Also, your"facts" that 3% of CO2 is man-made is also wrong. 1960 to 2010 CO2 rose from about 300ppm to about 380ppm. A lot more than 3%. CO2 cycles through various sinks and sources (like plants, our bodies, coral reef) so it is cycling in and out. So over time some fossil fuel CO2 gets absorbed there, and non-fossil fuel CO2 gets released.

  • @indulis1 As goes maths, I love maths, a lifelong aerospace stress engineer of the old school.

    The maths behind a wheel can get stupid complicated but its still a bl**dy wheel! The maths are simple.

    I'm happy CO2 is being returned into the atmosphere. This will help feed the hungry. Apart from water, the other main ingredient by far in your food is CO2. We can return the last half of the Earths CO2 until the cows keel over and the difference in temp will never reach mid Holocene levels.

  • @indulis1 You have proved you have no idea on the feedback on the system. There isn't much of one at all!

    Reality is not invalid, your words (is all they are) is.

    Coral reefs huh? They get so big and deep islands are formed! The Alps are mainly limestone. Trillions of tons of chalk make up England alone. When the big "A" hit the Earth 75M yr ago, it hit limestone releasing so much CO2 it would of literally turned the Earth into another Venus by your reckoning. Plants flourished after this.

  • @indulis1 The papers that were released on redoing the readings against modern urban heat island effect was done by Wang and another by Jones. Professor Bob Carter checked their work and loudly calls them liars, so the temperature data is effectively defrauded. They can try to sue him but he has the facts on his side.

    So endeth your conspiracy theory of the denialists. I reckon you'll just not get it will you.

  • He obviously doesn't know what he's talking about, as he gets it wrong in regards to what part of the atmosphere should be warming (it's the troposphere -- the lower atmosphere -- both in theory and by measurements, while the stratosphere is cooling since less heat is escaping.)

    You are willing to believe this guy when thousands of real climate scientists are saying otherwise? Do your homework.

  • OUTSTANDING..... all this from 2007! where has the TRUTH been - swept under the carpet like CLIMATEGATE by the media and political propaganda - all Carbon Faithists WAKE UP! you are led by dogma and diatribe = not FACTS... but never let facts get in the way of a good story....

  • @Mezzaaaaa You state this as fact, am I right? Where does the evidence for this conclusion come from? If you want to cite Paleoclimate data, I suggest you use all of the data and not just what you want to see. If you'd like links to the last 800,000 years and the source for this, let me know, I'll give it to you. I apologize if I sound terse, but usually these questions do not want a scientific answer, they want to turn their view extolled as fact.

  • Having 6 irrelevant Phd's makes you a wanker not an expert.

    If you want to listen to this side of the argument - good on you, every complicated argument has 2 sides and that's healthy, just know that by fighting on this dickheads side (his side consists of about as many retarded pricks that would vote for the mad monk right now), if you are wrong where does that leave you?

  • havent the govt operates in the global warming scam ever heard of geo engineering and weather machines like haarp? Perhaps they should study biowarfare instead of blaming carbon dioxide for all the weather manipulations they are creating with HAARP! I'm impressed that this guy has seen the light, only took him ten years..!

  • ‘This week, a study has shown that the devastating floods which damaged nearly 10,000 properties in England and Wales in 2000, and cost £1.3 billion in insurance losses, were made significantly more likely by climate change caused by humans…The bottom line of all this? Allen and his team found that human greenhouse gas emissions "significantly increased" the likelihood of the 2000 floods.’

  • @blackadderthe4 Sounds like a biased site; no thanks sheep.

  • @Sugardaddy501

    Of course it biased! To SCIENCE but not to myths.

  • David Evans did a 180 deg. turn just like Kepler! ... "When [Kepler] found that his long cherished beliefs did not agree with the most precise observations, he accepted the uncomfortable facts. He preferred the hard truth to his dearest illusions. That is the heart of science." (Carl Sagan) ... good job!

  • ‘Arctic’ Bruce Parry

    ‘Bruce travels to the far north of Canada to live with the Caribou people and witness their annual spring hunt. The Gwitchin tribe has hunted migrating caribou in the Arctic wilderness for thousands of years, but this tradition is now under threat from oil exploration’

    ‘Unusually warm winter…The caribou are very sensitive….to the warming climate’

  • At 5.10 he says global warming should warm the upper atmosphere faster than the lower atmosphere. But actually the opposite is true. If carbon dioxide was responsible the troposphere should warm while the stratosphere cools which is exactly what's happening. This is even shown at 5.19. Credibility for this video, none

  • @Richard482 Carbon dioxide could warm the atmosphere only if it received sunlight (UV light is transformed into infra red). More sunlight reaches the upper atmosphere than the lower atmosphere, and so if CO2 is resonsible, the troposphere (Where there isn't much UV) should be cooler than the air above.

    It's not.

  • @Twick78 You're wrong on that one Teresa. For a good explanation of the greenhouse effect watch the video link below. If you like this one the rest of his series are just as good.

    watch?v=52KLGqDSAjo

  • @Twick78 CO2 is essentially transparent to most wavelengths of sunlight, so CO2 absorbs very little of the solar radiation. Much of the solar radiation reaches the earth surface, then the surface radiates at 15C (infrared) into the atmosphere, where some of the radiation is absorbed by CO2, CH4, and H2O. Infrared absorption is one thing that heats the troposphere, which is one reason why the troposphere is warmer than the stratosphere.

  • @terrymorse Perfect! Even though the conspiracy theorists will still deny physics, at least you're trying to right the ship. Bravo, real science!

  • @Twick78

    You could find this link useful!

  • Before you claim to know what is going on with the climate you should spend a few hours reading through the "skepticalscience" website.

  • ‘ARCTIC’ TV programme with Bruce Parry on the BBC iplayer. In this episode he is in Greenland and examines how CC is changing the lives of people there!

  • About the lag issue, he says: "causality did not run the way we thought it did".

    Hmmmm.... climatologists never asserted that CO2 changes are what initiated prior major climate changes, so this statement is odd indeed. "We thought"? Evans is part of the club of climatologists? He's speaking for them?

    With so silly a statement, I find it hard to believe this guy is a climatologist at all. Perhaps he's a "modeller", in the sense of being a computer programmer - I don't know.

  • (cont)

    Furthermore, his comment about the hotspot issue "falsifying" AGW shows that he has, at best, an undergraduate level of understanding of the nature of how scientific theories are modified, adopted, rejected, and gain & lose confidence. This guy is no scientist - I'd bet big $ on it.

  • @VeryEvilPettingZoo

    Here is a good expanation of the 800 year co2 lag,

    watch?v=S8r46j2WrNk

  • @blackadderthe4

    Nice vid. When I've tried to explain this didn't-initiate-doesn't-mean-d­idn't-contribute reality about the lag, most of the time it isn't understood. Your vid explains it clearly. I think for this, I might direct people to your vid in the future.

  • @VeryEvilPettingZoo

    Yes spread it as much as you like But it's not really my video, but potholer54's (see my link in the discription) with his permission, which I edited from a longer video! To make a specific point on the subject!

  • There is no evidence this guy WOULD accept that CO2 is causing global climate change. He says what he won't accept but there is no mention of what he would accept.

  • He did COST and ECONOMIC modelling of carbon credits (ie spreadsheets and economics) NOT climate modelling. His "logic" on the science and cause of climate change is layman's opinion. He also raises the old "CO2 lags does not lead climate change" rubbish. In the same way as interest follows debt, and more debt means more interest, CO2 and climate are interrelated in a feedback loop and can affect each other. He boldly states stuff about atmospheric warming- WAY out of his area of expertise.

  • He did COST and ECONOMIC modelling of carbon credits (ie spreadsheets and economics) NOT climate modelling. His "logic" on the science and cause of climate change is layman's opinion.

  • EnvironMENTALism 

  • How many peer reviewed articles on climate change has this guy published? Answer....none. The reason is because all of this is rubbish. Observational evidence is the reason we know its CO2 not models. The Co2 following the warming in the past shows how powerful CO2 is. NASA's Hansen was the guy who predicted CO2 would follow.

    This guys presentation isn't science, it's politics. I think his salary depends on it.

  • @rugbyguy59 It's always the case, isn't it? Some one with a mild case of delusional paranoia gets to articulate a conspiracy "theory" based on his grandmother's advice and a billionaire's talking points and presto, a full blown political manifesto. Why does this get passed on as science? We're semi-evolved pattern seeking primates w/o a real understanding of how science gets adjudicated. WTF???

  • Right or Wrong about Man made global warming, this guy is right about how the models and evidence should be shared so scientist can repeat the results.

    There is a political bias involved, nobody can deny that, and that is reason enough to cast doubt on the whole movement.

  • But what about Man-Bear-Pig?

  • Carbon dioxide (CO2) is an essential component of photosynthesis (also called carbon assimilation). Photosynthesis is a chemical process that uses light energy to convert CO2 and water into sugars in green plants. These sugars are then used for growth within the plant, through respiration.

  • This is bullshit..

  • @cypress1337 how about extrapolating on "bullshit"

  • @cypress1337 WHY???

  • amazing lecture :) we need more people like this who encourage rigorous scientific debate! saying things like: the science is settled, theres nothing more to prove is not scientific, its politics :(

  • @alexhamster1134

    he is funded by Australian Climate Science Coalition which is funded by exxon. so is this science or politics?

  • @mwhearn1 The funding is irrelevant..it's the data, the message, and the conclusions drawn from it that are important. The CO2 fundamentalists ignore the evidence that disproves their theories and simply invent their own data.

  • core samples taken from ice at the poles show that heat levels change before carbon levels change, not after

  • "Show us your evidence and show us your models."

    It will never happen!

    What evidence?

  • @Nightversionn actually, it's pretty cool that you have a stalker! think about it, he cares enough about you to deeply hate you, deep down he must know you are right ...

    And also, this guys life sucks so much that he must resort to impersonating someone he hates, instead of someone he admires! Pretty sad when u think about it.

  • while we humans do have an impact on our environment, it's not so much so that we're going to die any time soon as a result. The science isn't cut and dry one way or the other which definitely indicates we need a better understanding of exactly what is happening. In the end I think it's only a matter of time before humans either move from this planet, or populate beyond earth's capacity to support life.

  • He says don't trust the models they prove nothing, then takes a model of the tropical temperature profile (a place where the models have difficulty because there are other factors in the tropics that drive the system) and say "Look is does not fit so it is all wrong".

    You cannot have it both ways, if the accurate predictions of models can be dismissed so then can the inaccuate ones.

    He does a nice job of showing that the cosmic ray theory of GW is junk. The graph (~8:17) shows no trend!

  • look its simple man made global warming = fail

  • Look up the term "insulator".

  • Comment removed

  • dont believe al-gore

  • it comes down to this...is a greenhouse gas a blanket or a filter?

    Blanket...is a convection limiting device. If you add more it traps heat by limiting convection...atmosphere is NOT a blanket.

    Filter is a device that removes something, such as spectrum. Once there is no more, adding MORE filters does nothing.

    Height to extinction (HTE) is 10 meter (33 ft). The convection layer is 500 ft. The heat in the filter is only in the 10 meter, so a change in co2 does nothing.

    Game over.

  • Fail!

    A blanket keeps you warm by radiating back toward your skin some of the IR that your skin radiated outward toward the blanket.

    This is basic thermodynamics you dummy! Hahaha.

  • AtomSmash3t,

    Ah, nOOOOO, that is NOT how a blanket works. It is a convection limited device, and a conduction limiting device within the actual blanket. Sorry.

    FAIL, FAIL, FAIL

  • Hahahahaha poor seaplaneguy. He doesn't even understand basic grade school science. Go away and learn some basic science, fool.

  • AtomSmash,

    Why don't you kindly show me the equations you seem to be referring to. I have taken heat transfer, Gas Dynamics, compressible fluid, Viscous fluids (boundary layer), Thermo I and II, flight dynamics, done wind tunnel tests, control theory, and enough for a Phd....and know how to get 90% of fuel out of the system. I think I know about the physics....

    Please, oh wise one, tell me the equations...I can't wait...

  • @AtomSmash3r "This is basic thermodynamics you dummy! Hahaha."

    Wrong you obviously haven't done basic thermodynamics

  • David unfortunately our Govs and Worldwide Bureacracy has got the scent of cash heaps of it. The figures they are really avoiding are the the figures on how a CARBON TAX would solve the problem(even it did exist,which of course it doesn't).

    Some of these Gov opportunists would be better to read the fable about a Goose that layed golden eggs.....keep trying

  • Don't forget Al Gore's family made a fortune from Occidental Petroleum, who will no doubt be in the carbon trading game. He is as dirty as they come.

  • What is going to happen 10 years from now when the temp is cooler or the same as today? Will the environmental whacks going to except the blame for spending hugh amounts of money for nothing or will they be heros for saving us. If the carbon level is higher but the temp is the same or lower than we should be able to hold them accountable. I have a feeling that they will scatter like roaches when that happens.

  • the solar cycles on the sun are higher than average causing the earth to heat. they will be at a peak in 2012. gore makes outrageous claims and produces many false models on climate change. he doesn't even have any computer programming skills and does not know how to use statistics accurately. according to him many coastal regions are supposed to be under water. he is making outrageous claims.

  • Right now, the solar cycle is in a valley--the deepest of the past century. In 2008 and 2009, the sun set Space Age records for low sunspot counts, weak solar wind, and low solar irradiance. The sun has gone more than two years without a significant solar flare.

    "In our professional careers, we've never seen anything quite like it," says Pesnell. "Solar minimum has lasted far beyond the date we predicted in 2007."

  • Good news!

    potholer54, who's a semi-retired science journalist from Australia has produced 5 excellent YouTubes on the whole science of Global Warming, as well as many other great science vids.

    Yesterday, he uploaded his latest, which I highly recommend -- already 4,884 views!

    5. Climate Change -- isn't it natural?

    /watch?v=w5hs4KVeiAU&feature=s­ub

    It debunks denier's lies about periods of earth's history which had high levels of CO2, particularly the Ordovician which l.bush loves to quote.

  • "It debunks denier's lies about periods of earth's history which had high levels of CO2, particularly the Ordovician which l.bush loves to quote."

    So, you have researched the evidence provided by ice core samples of much higher CO2 levels in the atmosphere.....

    Great, SHOW US YOUR EVIDENCE...Ahem.

    31,000 scientists / vs 2500?

    No.. 31,000 scientists including many quoted from the IPCC as signers verses 62, with 60% of the 2500 quoted signers as being in disagreement with the official story.

  • Those 31,000 'scientists' include Dr Geri Halliwell AKA: Ginger Spice

    Includes veterinarians and plumbers (they call themselves engineers these days)

    Also includes many scientists who want their name removed from that list

    Put simply it is a crock

  • Nice try.. read below.

  • he is right!

    AGW is for stupid believers and reality deniers!

  • The same can be said of the IPCC list, as 60% of the supposedly 'agreeing' scientists disagreed with the accepted report.

    Of the 'agreeing' scientists, many are bureaucrats (politicians) whom hold no scientific credentials whatsoever, such as your statement about 'ginger spice'.

    Only 62 scientists out of the total were allowed to review, which is against proper and scientific method.

    Nice try though.

  • Comment removed

  • AGW is now a religion/belief, according to British courts.

  • Ceck out the "Consensus" link on my prior post.

    "It seems that the debate on the

    authenticity of global warming and the

    role played by human activity is largely

    nonexistent among those who understand the nuances and scientific basis of long-term climate processes. The challenge, rather, appears to be how to effectively communicate this fact to

    policy makers and to a public that continues to mistakenly perceive debate

    among scientists."

    There is NO CREDIBLE DEBATE.

  • There is or was no debate. That was the whole problem.

  • ReduceGHGs,

    You seem to be the one in denial.

  • Have you ever read a book about this?

    Do you have a clue about the carbon cycle, ocean acidification, reinforcing mechanisms, fresh water runoff depletion, the risks of methane both from humans and natural sources, deforestation, the water cycle, etc.

    What, clueless? There are many books available. If you appreciate chemistry try The Carbon Age. It will provide you with an understanding of carbon and its place in our world.

  • Yes Carbon in a natural element.

    Carbon Dioxide is a natural gas needed for the process of photosynthesis in plants.

    We are Carbon based life forms. Carbon is essential for life on Earth.

    The PH level of the ocean is above 8, which suggests that the oceans are alkaline. if anything the ocean is becoming more neutral.

    Where's the link between CO2 and temperature in all that. Nowhere!!

  • Learn about the carbon cycle and how it is out of balance. We humans are pumping about 1,000,000 years of stored carbon into the atmosphere EVERY YEAR. There are consequences. The oceans' composition as well as the atmosphere's are changing. Our habitat is degrading.

  • I have read many journals and reports, as I have stated before. I have talked with many scientists about the issues at hand.

    My views are based on face to face meetings.

  • Since you can't come up with ONE credible scientific institution that supports your opinion how about a study? I

    n your discussions with "many" scientists have any of them completed a peer reviewed study that concludes humans are NOT contributing to global warming?  It's highly unlikely. Since you rely on "expert" opinions, read the following survey.

    Google... Examining the Scientific Consensus on Climate Change

  • Google... Global Cooling. So there.

    Its pointless looking on the internet for anything that would resemble a good paper. You have to talk to these guys and ask them the tough questions.

    A few guys have had their papers published, but that neither here nor there. There papers that have got through the peer revue such as Manns Hockey Stick paper have proven to be wrong. If you cannot appreciate how political this has become, then there is no helping you.

  • AAAS even admits there could be cooling.

  • Again, NO SHIT there has been recent cooling!

    So what?

    You now use AAAS as a source. Great! Well here's what do they conclude about the core issue?

    "The scientific evidence is clear, Global climate change caused by human activities...is a growing threat to society."

    No guessing as to why you STILL can't come up with anything meaningful to support your position.

    For those NOT in the Denialist Cult, FMI try UCSUSA(dot)org

  • So what?!?

    It disproves the theory that CO2 is the primary GHG, thats what. In any normal situation this crap would have been thrown out of the room. Every model assumes that CO2 is the driver and every model predicted warming. Cooling goes against every hypothesis AGW proponants have come up with.

    ARE YOU COMPLETELY INSANE?

    The people that have been right are the scientists on the other side of the argument, yet they are all still ignored.

  • The fact that there has been recent cooling disproves AGW? Did you graduate high school? Ever read a book about this?

    Now why is it that you don't have ONE credible scientific institution to support your opinion?

    Maybe you think that you know it all. So what will be the first planet to rise in the night sky in 2015? Don't know? Why not?

    Will you rely on your doc or tell him that YOU know best?

    So many questions. Best we leave them to the experts, unless you are in the Denialis Cult.

  • I graduated a little high than that, dipshit.

    If facts don't fit the theory, the theory is wrong. Basic scientific reasoning.

    I am aware of all these political organisations you have jerked off over. You name me one reputable scientist instead. Then again, it depends on what you think is reputable.

    I know a bit, having campaigned on both sides of the theory.

    I have come across your kind many a time. You are a political animal and nothing more.

  • graduated? just barely?

    I noticed you STILL have no support for your position. NEVER form an opinion without credible, rational, and verifiable reasoning.

    In this case your support is wholly lacking.

    "My kind"? Im a rational supporter of sustainable cultures.

    Try reading some books and learning about many of the issues I mentioned.

    Ignorance is a terrible thing to be caught with. Isn't it?

    Read this for starters.

    Google... NAS Global Warming

    Or, prefer ignorance?

  • Is there any point, ReduceGHGs, for me to put any names and references down.

    You are utterly convinced by the facts you choose to believe. All I hear every day are charges of big oil of big coal or some other crap.

    You are completely right in your own mind and nothing will challange that. Sustainability will never be attained with what we have.

    i have little time to debate this right now. VICTORY TO YOU.

  • You don't provide credible support because you don't have any. Why not?

    Do you think that vested interests are not distributing propaganda? They are and its nothing new. Big tobacco/cigs did the same thing.

    All reliable institutions concur that HUMANS are warming the planet. They are easily found on the net for those that do HONEST research.

  • qsteveens,

    "for those that do HONEST research."

    LOL...

    You have a check talking about HONEST research - what a joke.

    You mean the HONEST research done by HONEST scientists that is completely ignored by the IPCC and ALL MEDIA.Or are you referring to the HONEST research done by Mann and his stupid hockey stick - or hansens stupid and ridiculous claims coupled with his misrepresentations of fact and data. And lets not forget your savior AL Gore - well enough said.

    Honest research my ASS!

  • FORGET IT, c02Pirate. According to these bloggers, the debate is over (before it began).

  • The Internet, as vast as it is, should not be the primary source of information. If I based any scientific reporting with crap I found on the internet, my stuff would be thrown out in an instant.

  • Links between tobacco/cigs and poor health were gained from OBSERVATIONAL data, not modelling data. I do wish the it was that easy.

  • I know what these organisations (whether you can call them scientific anymore is questionable) say.

    Even the IPCC admits to a chance of global cooling.

    Your definition of credible scientist is anyone who agrees with your mantra.

    AGW theory is not set in stone. Why do you defend it so? Are you afraid there is a chance you might be wrong? Are you afraid of being wrong?

  • ReduceGHG,

    Data changes all the time. AGW fitted the data of the time (80s and 90s). It does not fit any of the recent data, hence the AGW theory must be rejected.

    You are quite obviously blinded by your belief and are incapable of change. The science is beyond you, so leave it to the scientists.

  • Data changes? No kidding. So what you are saying is that YOUR interpretation of recent data tells YOU that AGW isn't occurring.

    Who cares? Why would anyone find your opinion in the least bit reliable?

    You clearly didn't use the link I provided and I'm sure you didn't research what those institutions have concluded. Why not? Afraid of what you'll find? Think maybe you know better than they do?

    Yes, "leave it to the scientists".

    Scientific Opinion on Climate Change Wiki

  • "Who cares? Why would anyone find your opinion in the least bit reliable?"

    Not as DickChambers69. You are quite right, ReduceGHGs.

    Wiki is my first choice when referencing.

    I believed in AGW for a number of years, almost as aggressively as you. Then, in time, the data that was being collected didn't fit with what I thought to be right. I had to re-evaluate my position. It was pretty hard for me to accept that I might be wrong.

    Truth is there is a problem with AGW theory.

  • "Wiki is my first choice when referencing."

    I was being sarcastic before anyone else says anything.

  • Members of the Denialist Cult don't want to see the evidence. They don't want to acknowledge that all of our respected scientific institutions concur on the core issue; HUMANS are warming the planet mostly by burning fossil fuels and clearing the land. There's no credible debate in the scientific community.

    New Study Suggests Climate Change Could Devastate African Economies

    The study found that the expected impact of the climate shifts will disproportionately hit the rural poor, many of whom are subsistence farmers. 80 percent of Tanzania's workforce is in the agricultural sector, and almost half of the nation's GDP is directly tied to farming.

    REAL effects on REAL people.

    Pro-Global Warming Study Receives Worldwide Headlines; Discovery

    Do some reading. Or, tell me a little about the last book you read about this issue. What? Haven't read a book about it? No kidding. How do you like making decisions in the dark? So far, the results are as expected.

  • As I have said before, I have read all the books, papers etc... I used to be a believer, until I started asking questions.

    I believed in Mann's Hockey Stick paper, until it was revealed he hand picked his data set and totally currupted his findings.

    You would think this kind of dishonesty would make people question what they believed before.

    I thought the science was settled. I was wrong.

    Yes. some scientist believe in AGW, but then again some scientists believed in Alchemy (Newton)

  • believe it or not, the so called "hockystick" was more accurate graph then the first graph the IPCC made in 1990. their first graph which showed the midevil warm period being very warm wasn't accurate.

    they got samples mainly from europe. but later, they did more reseached, did samples from more areas around the globe, took up tree ringed samples, corel samples more ice core samples, and in 1998 came up with the so called "hockystick" later 2007, they came up with a 3d graph.

  • "So far, the results are as expected. "

    That is a blatant lie. the results are not whats been expected. Why do they keep altering their own predictions. They haven't predicted the last 9 years correctly.

    We haven't even gone beyond what is considered normal variance. Even Hadley admitted they did not expect this cooling period. Models assume CO2 and temperature are solely linked to one another.

  • "Do some reading. Or, tell me a little about the last book you read about this issue. What? Haven't read a book about it? No kidding. How do you like making decisions in the dark? So far, the results are as expected."

    Try not to take my comments out of context. It may make you sound like you are dumber than a box of rocks. Rise above it.

    Haven't read a book about this issue? No kidding.

    Don't have credible support for your position? No kidding.

    Will you listen to reason? No. No kid

  • It's nothing short of scandelous that the wider public don't hear this kind of damning evidence from an actual scientist and an expert in the area. The media and left side of politics is to blame. There is so much at stake that the GW hysteria continues for those who push the message.

    Only one side of the scientific story is being told when it is. There are at LEAST 32,000 scientists who dispute AGW yet we keeping hearing "there is consensus" amongst scientists!...we are ALL being played!

  • In response to below.

    People consume. People want more.

    People supply. People demand.  Only one problem. What do we do when it all runs out? Capitialism - great idea. Consume. Get richer by demanding that other people consume. Consume all the trees. All the fish. Get stinking rich from it. And then it all runs out. Annual growth is a no brainer. Sustainability is impossible. Only people who believe in the pyramid are the pharoahs. God save the Israelites and logic.

  • he he, tell that to the marines!

  • This man induced climate change scaremongering is catalyst to attack peoples freedom!

  • freedom, my freedom?

    habitability, oh habitability!

    Stop scaremongering with your false choice. We can change the way we use energy and how we exist in the biosphere for the sake of future generations.

    Freedoms? Do you want everyone to be free to continue to dump waste unabated into the atmosphere? What about the rights of those negatively affected by climate changes? What of their "freedoms". Free do suffer and die? Your position is baseless.

    Read, learn, grow, and contribute.

  • So the next time you label NASA, NOAA, EPA, and AAAS something foolish like "ding-dongs", 'eco-freaks", or "eligious cult", how about a little support for those conclusions. No, being a silly delusional kid is NOT a reasonable excuse. Try something else.

  • ReduceGHGs ...how about you grow up and just accept that other people don't agree with you.

  • That's the best you can do kid?

    Can't you find ONE historically reliable scientific institution to back up your opinion? No? Why not?

    Try the following site, learn what you can, then come back and discuss the carbon and water cycles with me.

  • ReduceGHGs ....just letting you know I'm having a fantastic day, I have just bought another 60 inch tv and I feel no shame at all.

    P.S. I can see you comment on a bigger screen now.

  • Hey, great! We picked one up a couple days ago.

    I also got may Piper back with a fresh annual! Didn't like the bill too much that comes with the territory.

    Enjoy.

  • Why is Pluto no longer considered a planet, when it's been considered one by astronomers for over 70 years? Was Nasa wrong?

    Because "International Astronomical Union" decided to change its classification, it's now officially known as a "dwarf planet", but some dissenting scientists from Nasa and others say it should've kept it's original classification.

    Too bad for them, the bigger institute made it's decision.

  • The facts more recently learned about Pluto put it into a different category.

    Google... Scientists: Pluto not a planet - Space

    And is there a point you were trying to make? Are you trying to make an illogical leap to say that because NASA was wrong about Pluto therefore they are wrong about AGW? Now that indeed would be a leap of illogic that no reasonable person would make.

    Global warming isn't just a NASA conclusion. Try NAS, NOAA, AAAS, AGU, and many others. Read their conclusions.

  • Putting your faith in institutions instead of relying on reason will lead you to conclusions based on what other people believe, and not what you believe, and that allows for unconvincing theories to predominate.

    It seems that because an institution believes something, that's convincing enough for you. That is one of the most famous of logical fallacies.

    I think you make consensus out to be much more than it is. I believe there were more wrong consensuses than correct ones in history.

  • The rational make decisions based on the best evidence available, every day, every action.

    Perhaps you know of a more reliable source of information about climate change? I don't. Especially when they ALL basically agree on the core issue.

    On the other hand you can put your faith in corporate think tanks. After all, they are the ones pushing the naysaying position. Ya think they might be a bit biased?

    If you see a curve in the road will you turn the wheel or distrust your eyes?

  • Do you think climatologists don't have a financial interest in saying there's a crisis? Funding for climate science has increased 10-fold since this global warming hysteria began.

    I won't claim they're entirely selfish, but if you're going to say all global warming skeptics are corporate schills, then you make the opposite argument equally valid.

    I've watched scientists debate the issue and have read scientific publications, and I'm not convinced that humans cause climate change.

  • I should also mention by the way that your dig at corporations just adds credence to Patrick Moore's, the co-founder of Greenpeace, opinion that marxists now use environmentalism as a vehicle for anti-capitalism. It makes sense, since they can now make people afraid of capitalism in a way that they hadn't thought of before by moving from the position that capitalism creates social inequality, to capitalism destroys the world.

  • What? Commie paranoia? Get off it. That crap is a sorry and baseless excuse.

    So to believe you climatologists from many countries around the world all conspire to lie about their data and conclusions and have been doing so undetected for decades. Wow! Ya really gota hand it to the skill and ability to falsify and cover up their tracks.

    And there are no HONEST institutions except for CEI and CATO? LOL!

    Does NASA, NOAA, EPA funding depends on results? No. Sorry. You're "out of gas".

  • A baseless excuse for what?

    There's no doubt that among environmentalists there is a romanticizing of agrarian life, and a contempt for capitalism.

    Do you disagree?

    "And there are no HONEST institutions except for CEI and CATO? LOL!"

    I don't remember mentioning these institutes, or making that argument. Unless I'm getting CO2 poisoning from our atmosphere and losing my memory, you've just erected a strawman.
