A Skeptic Confirms Substantial Recent Global Warming

Richard Muller, a physicist at the University of California, Berkeley, who has been a harsh critic of advocates for prompt cuts in greenhouse gases, has finished an independent analysis of 200 years of temperature data and confirms existing studies showing substantial warming of the continents since 1950 -- a trend challenged by many critics of climate science.

@JonThm Really? Is that how science is done, by taking polls? Did they pass a legal pad and a crayon around and enough scientists agreed with the statement "Einstein is the man, his theory is the shit"? You don't happen to have a falsifiable theory that explains the currently available evidence that goes with those academics, do you?

[ExperienceCounts2]

Wanna cut to the chase and show anti-science for what it is? Ask deniers this question: In your own personal opinion and ignoring any limitations on measurements past or present, what specific evidence would climate scientists have to provide in order to convince you that the scientific theory of AGW is correct? For bonus points ask if they can cite the title of a single published scientific paper that was affected by "climategate". Be prepared for a superluminal change of subject.

The natural climate has been cooling for last for teen years. Photosynthesis has ensured free carbon dioxide levels in the air have not increased for last two centuries

[JonThm]

You were taught in high school physics that photosynthesis took in any extra carbon dioxide to form new life on earth. With no affect on the weather. That is all lie from nuclear power and the stupid! There

[JonThm]

Average global carbon dioxide in the air has been static for two centuries. Carbon dioxide only rise is in natural ice ages. Otherwise we get more life on earth!

[JonThm]

High school biology teaches that green plants metabolise all the available carbon dioxide from the air. Mankind can't affect the level of carbon dioxide in the global air. Cities do not have any importance!

@grimwat You just made that shit up.

Add 'liar' to your ignorance.

[bernzeppi]

@JonThm You obviously made up that Harvard bullshit.

[bernzeppi]

@JonThm How do you explain the recent 34% increase in CO2 then?

I don't se no ice age.

[JonThm]

As any gardener will tell you; green plants convert all the available carbon dioxide into new life an surplus oxygen. Harvard University has confirmed there has been no increase in average carbon dioxide in the air-due to man. It goes up naturally in ice ages!

[JonThm]

Photosynthesis controls the level of carbon dioxide in the air. Mankind just increased life on earth!
