Convincing the Climate Change Skeptics

Despite the volumes of scientific proof, many people are still not convinced that the global climate is warming. Renowned University of Minnesota ecologist (and Institute on the Environment founding fellow) David Tilman responds to the cynics.

climate models are his evidence? bullshit, climate models can not possibly encompass all the dynamic processes of the earth and the cosmos.

[rrp1973]

This obsession that the human contribution to climate change will be disastrous starts with the following false assumption. "The climate without human intervention will always be compatible with human civilization." This seems to me to be an almost religious belief. I see no reason to believe there won't be another ice age at some point. Now that would be a catastrophe for humanity. This would be the result of the natural cycles of nature that are clearly indifferent to human existence.

Is there a difference between a city dweller and country folk in observing global warming?

I'd venture to say yes.....And where does most of the population live? ....In cities....

What evidence?

It's an exiting time to be a climatologist. I wouldn't blame them for wanting their time in the sun if it didn't adversely affect so many other people. What I DETEST about this man is his belief that these measures will actually help. He will help to increase the starving in Africa, he will help to divert money where it isn't needed... he is an A1 ass-hole and I hope he dies soon

@gourdonboy There is scientific PROOF of water, but we have to see to believe up untill last year.

[gourdonboy]

"Scientific proof" - there is no such thing. Theory, yes, proof, never!

cio' che nn capisco è dove sta il guadagno di bush e company? mi viene da pensare che ci guadagnano di più le industrie petrolifere a finanziare questa controinformazione, per farci fare soni tranquilli, e continuare a inquinare liberamente.
