Global Climate Change: Science, Polity, and Authority
Lecture by Naomi Oreskes, Provost, Sixth College, University of California, San Diego. C.P. Snow worried that science and technology could not cross the divide of the humanities to render their true value.  The new Sixth College, under the leadership of  Provost Oreskes, draws its creative inspiration from the interdisciplinary examination of culture, art and technology." Oreskes reports on her new research on the interwoven science, technology, and policy elements of global climate change. This lecture was part of UMBC's Humanities Forum Series.

  • 3) The Actual theory ogf "AGW" is that humans have supposedly raised the CO2 levels from 282ppm to 390ppm in the last 150 years and world average tempatures corrolate with CO2 levels with the current AGT of 15c coorolating with 282ppm and when the Sun comes out of Extended Solar minimus the added heat will cause tmpatures to rise to human extinction causing +6f(21f) when it matches 323ppm and "hothouse" +12f matching 390ppm (humans long gone)

    "AGW" cannot happeb until Sun adds more heat

  • "inertia is a luxury we can't afford."

    Actually with Green technology funding being cut, public union benifits being cut, and grants for "climate change" being cut because governments cantrecieve tax revenue from unemployed people cause the C&T policy caused near economic collapse then a world recession in the "Oil Age" from trying to regulate oil/coal/gas and making the cost of living and doing business go up...Im sure they wishedthey just blew the AGW hype off

    1 more C&T WILL take out EU

  • "The stakes are higher this time,"

    Yes... the Nov 2007 Cap and trade nearly collapsed the world Economy, and after the policy makers convienently blames Mortgage dirivatives that lost value because theEconomy collapsed for causing the Economy to nearly Crash and not the "biofuel initative" thet passed June 2009 C&T that caused a World Economic recession that is causing governments to be on the verge of going under,and needing to cut welfare andpublic union benifits cause of tax revenue lost

  • 1) John Tnddall was just testing the heat asorbtion of different gases found in the atmoshere

    His finall findindings were that a) doubling a gas in a composite gas sdoes not increase the composite gases maximum heat asorbtion threashold and b) Water Vapor is the main carrier of heat in the atmosphere being abkle to carry up to 900f at 1%(100% humiodity)

    2) Svante hobby was ICe Ages and only thing unusual he notice in Ice cores was a lack of CO2 thus theory that lack of CO2 causes Ice Ages

  • Just wondering as well why she kept on looking at the ceiling..

  • @Thisawareness You seem very certain global warming is not human-effected. I hope you're right, but increasingly think you are wrong. The stakes are higher this time around, inertia is a luxury we can't afford.

  • I wonder if she wore a NKVD uniform this past Halloween? Her talking about Global Warming is like the Soviet propagandists talking about the pseudo-science lysenkoism. What a failure that was, and the propagandists brainwwashed everyone into believing it was great

    The audience should have either all walked out, thrown garbage at her, or laughed her off the stage

    Global warming Pseudo-science!

  • What a load of horseshit!

  • She keeps looking at the ceiling suspiciously...
