The Skeptic Tank

What happens when 500 climate change skeptics descend upon New York to discuss global warming? Well, we just had to see for ourselves. Gentlemen, prepare your PowerPoints!

And how exactly would you define the "scientific method", Roibasses? Indiscriminate skepticism is almost as bad as indiscriminate faith. Merely questioning the prevailing view is not enough for something to be "science". You have to propose a way to test your hypothesis and provide evidence to back it up. I'm still waiting for the GW skeptics to do this.

oops. I'll try again:

Anthropogenic ocean acidification over the twenty-first century and its impact on calcifying organisms. Nature 437, 681-686 (29 September 2005) | doi:10.1038/nature04095.

Saturation of the Southern Ocean CO2 Sink Due to Recent Climate Change. Science 22 June 2007: Vol. 316. no. 5832, pp. 1735 - 1738

Let me know when you've perused these articles.

bullshit

@Skydancer365 It'd be great to find out that HAARP is the method in which they use to clean it. Buuuuuut it's owned by our government, so fat chance there.

This was very poorly made.

[NotSoOldHippy]

LOL! Stupid Republicans.

"The Skeptic Tank" is actually a real organization, not a bunch of Republican corporate traitors.

"We have made it for at least 100,000 years as a species"?! And it's ok if we just MAKE it?! I suppose if millions and millions of people die as a result, that's just fine and dandy!?

This is one of the denialist talking points that's complete nonsense. You really should learn which talking points are valid and which ones aren't.

We HAVE looked at other planets (and moons) in our solar system and the causes of possible (note, we don't have sensors on them or satellites around them) warming of other planets/moons is different.

MilesB1975:

Some scientists are actually starting to talk about ways to clean the CO2 out of the atmosphere because we may have already passed a "tipping point" and it appears that, politically, we're probably not going to be able to do enough to stop it until it gets REALLY bad.

"One thing you will notice is that most of the scientists here are retired. That means we are free to say what we think is true"

It also means that they are no longer out in the field doing research. And it also means that they are more likely not update on the current data and situations. I don't mean this in any derogatory sense, there is nothing wrong with being a skeptic, but it is just something to keep in mind. Just think about a retired doctor and you will get the sense of my point.

Where did you park your hybrid is a pretty funny thing to ask in a global warming skeptics convention.

[TRUMPHENT]

No. The weather and climate on other planets have nothing to do with earth. The orbits are different. So are the atospheres, surfaces, and everything else.

Another little and easily ignored fact is that for the last 30 plus years, TSI has varied less than 0.04 per cent.
