Climate Denial Crock of the Week - Don't it make my Green World Brown

Deniers often will tell you that CO2 is a good thing, because it makes plants and crops grow faster.
Under ideal conditions, this is true.
But scientists have been studying the effects of increasing CO2 in the real world....

There is a clear consensus on anthropogenic climate change among the scientists who actually do this for a living. People need to start listening and stop trying to make up facts. If Gary Baird who posted below 'studied' it for years then he would see the mountains of evidence. Not one scientific academy of the world refutes climate change due to man, if you think you know better you are a fool.

You mean there are many "feelings" and "opinions" about this? How many of these "opinions" are based on long research and scientific evidence? Hardly any of them. Most of them seem to to just try to confuse people by mis-quoting or taking information out of context of the original sources like this Monckton clown. If only people would start listening to real scientists, we could have a chance at getting out of this mess.

@GaryBaird

what? there are so many news article in mainstream media or more scientific journals that report one study, and often they quote one author of the study. that is very usual. and reporters are not ashamed of this. what the heck are you talking about?

@GaryBaird

got some examples of scientific studies that came to different conclusions?

I have read a lot on the subject and I have watched your videos and there is far too much here for me to refute. I am merely stating that there are other opinions out there. There are 'Actual boots-on-the-ground' experts who share and don't share your the conclusions. I believe I have pointed that out in many ways as well as provided several resources you can use. So far you have not read them. Clearly if you had done your research you would know this already.

[greenman3610]

every one of my videos is clear and references actual sources. One thing I have noticed is that, so far, none of your comments have included anything approaching a refutation or even cited a source. The fact that I talk to actual boots-on-the-ground experts is the strength of this series, and the glaring weakness of your misinformed posts.

[Gary Baird]

Every reply with you is an emotionally charged one. Have you noticed? Some call it passion. Clearly your passion clouds your judgement. We all do it, it's easy to do when you think you are taking the high-ground. I have studied the subject thoroughly for several years. I also have a degree in a related field and I am currently working as an engineer. Watching a YouTube video is not the same thing as an interview.

[greenman3610]

I see. Is your son where you get your info on climate change? I prefer interviewing actual scientists.

[Gary Baird]

An interview! Really, are you serious? My son's science fair project required more research than that. More quotes, more videos more spin. The truth is somewhere in the middle between the lines.
