Global Warming: It's Not About the Hockey Stick

You hear it from poorly informed climate deniers all the time. Global warming they say, is entirely based on a "hockey stick" graph - it's a simple minded correlation of temperatures and co2 rise.
Well, no it's not.

@spamvigilante There you have it folks, don't let your children think for themselves or study an issue. Just force them to follow that which you are convinced of. Don't tell them about free thinking. Don't tell them about the ipcc being WRONG with every prediction. Don't tell about those who stand to make billions from carbon credits. Don't tell them about the exposed lies from Mann, Jones. I tell you, you uninformed, green idealistic moron , to grow up.

[greenman3610]

stating something does not make it true. you need to back those claims up with evidence, -- which will be hard, since no lies have been exposed by any of the scientists you mentions, even after 9 investigations.

What was the other site? Liveleak . com? Google video? Bored . com? Wimp . com?

You claimed another site. How would you know it was me?

And even better, you claim I've used it before in one sentence and then claim that I stole the line in the next. Which is it?

Your posted comment was as lame as one can get. You may now hang your head in shame.

You cant seriously mean that in order for our children to act on climate change they all need to be climate scientists and study for their life to accept the science? I already know that science goes through rigorous testing and disproving before anything is published as a science fact (a scientist will say "within reasonable doubt"). About AGW, most scientists agree now - and you know thats enough for me to believe them, knowing how much technology and hard work has gone into proving it.

How can anyone take that troubled nerd... thing... serious?

[phantomscolts1]

continuing flirtation with nuclear power is your problem!

All these videos are a crock. Not one gets basic physics.

The research into heat seeking missiles is quite different than CO2 and heat. Notice that nothing is said about distances from the source. All that happens is the absorption occurs at a closer range. Yes water will block and range is the issue.

Analogous to driving on a foggy road. I can see 100 ft ahead, but not 1000 ft. This is important in missiles, but not in AGW. Red herring. That "scientist" is another Mann jerk off.

Dude. Shoe me the studies. I don't care if the scientist waiting to punch is einstein. GIVE ME THE STUDIES OR FUCK OFF

[klnine]

The guy is a jerk. The hockey stick was a key part of the IPCC philosophy and documented on several reports until recently being found to be a crock ..and of course a key feature of big Al's shock doco ! Oh and the product of the UEA/met climate model which couldnt be reproduced ! Google "Harry read me text "! So why doesnt the Hockey stick seem so important now ? Yes its a crock !!

[ivoman7]

Chemtrails are the the problem and mad scientists.

@spamvigilante Any scientist worth his weight would punch you in the face for stating "This is the best science there is". And many of us would wait behind him to do the same. You're an uninformed idealistic puppet of those who wish to control all of us. Moron.
