The ‘Climate Change Debate’ Is Science Versus Snake Oil
-
O.K. I have read your links (except for Al Gore, who is a politician). Why so many linking to the glaciers in the Himalayas? One need only read it once. Why the link to the discredited Peter Spencer story? You had been told[^] that it was his family who were repossessing his land in payment of an outstanding loan. None of these links provide any evidence against the hypothesis of AGW. True, Doctor Alan Carlin questioned the degree and rate of GW attributable to CO2, and drew attention to additional mechanisms that could cause Climate Change, but his paper is, by his own admission, not a scientific analysis.

Evidence that shows that current temperatures are not due to GH gas warming: 1) SOuth pole is cooling and has been for 50 years or so. 2) Troposphere is not as warm as it should be. There you go, Pure simple fact that shows that GH gas warming is not occuring.

2 facts: 1- The winter have been very warm, with 4 to 6 degrees Celsius above average. Almost no snow. The temperature never went down to -30C, which is not normal. Although I can enjoy an early spring, it scares me a little. 2- In Iles-de-la-Madeleine, there was no ice banks for seals to mate. First time I heard of this one though. Even if science is wrong, it does not mean GW is not happening. I am among the skeptics, but a skeptic on both sides.
Well, as anyone wil tell you, you need LOTS of weather to make a climate and one warm winter in Vancouver isnt convincing on its own. Especially since the elsewhere snow and cold records have been set.

The ‘Climate Change Debate’ Is Science Versus Snake Oil[^] So, what do you guys think? fact or fraud?
Truth has never been determined by popularity. Darwin wasnt popular and yet adaptation of species has been seen to occur since he proposed the theory. Anyway. Two facts that disprove that GH gas warming is occuring today. 1) South pole is cooling and has been for 50 years. 2) The troposphere is not as warm as it should. Its plain simple empiracle science.

Well, I was not seeking (dis)proof of AGW, merely pointing out that none of Captain SeeVee's articles prove that it isn't happening. However, neither of your statements (citations, please :) ) prove that AGW is not happening either.

I agree with you. But here it is a trend.

Even if climate change is a fact those who hate change, will be obstructionists till the end and deny it even after it has happened, much like other large events in history. Money will prove to be more important than the lives of some distant country that the majority here cares about. People don't always do what is in their best interests, look at the banking industry. I'd like to believe we can do great things still, but too many forces today and an unengaged public make me less than optimistic. Nationalism is another problem. Too many people think their countries are more important than any other country. Religion is another problem. Some see a coming rapture in the middle east. Human rights of women and people in poorer countries is an issue. Resource shortages causing wars. With some of the geoengineering I've heard of, there are many extremist groups that would work against any complete solution. Most people don't like change or to be held accountable for the impact on the world and each other either.

Perhaps you werent serious when you wrote "Only a Eugenicist would deny GW. You want us to believe there is no problem so that when it's too late millions of people will be wiped out. You're just a puppet for the power hungry Eugenicist politicians who are mad with power." If you were then you really are an idiot. AGW is Mann made. He made it up when he invented the hockey stick that he now knows to be unreliable. There is SO much data showing AGW isnt happening, And yet you still belileve it. You must be intensely stupid not to be abloe to recognise basic facts and understand basic scientific pribciples.

For how long, and has it never happened before? And I mean ovee the last 10000 years.

You know that is impossible to answer.

Twaddle. Anthropogenic warming was the predominant subject in climate science papers in the 1970s (none of them by Mann), long before the Hockey Stick.

There is so much data showing that AGW may be happening. There is so much data showing that AGW may not be happening. There is so much more for climate scientists to understand before policy can be based on their pronouncements. In the mean time, let's just concentrate on reducing our dependence on finite sources of energy.

Wellm you got them anyway. Now are you going to check out what I wrote and cone to the same conclusion as me?

You have made two unsupported statements. You prove 'em, I don't have to. I am AGW neutral as far as the science is concerned. I am anti any policies being implemented on the basis of current knowledge. I strongly resent the politicisation of this subject.

True - the issue is, a warm day does not prove global warming, and a cold winter does not disprove it. Neither side wins this argument.

If you participated in these forums at all instead of just blasting them with your anti AGW 'gospel', you'd know that CSS calls me a eugenicist constantly, based on either his stupidity, his desire to get a rise or, most likely, his desire to distract from his inability to respond when I answer his claims. Josh was plainly throwing that in his face.

If you knew anything about this, you'd know that the data that was replaced, started as recent tree ring data, and was replaced by the actual known temperatures. There is exaggeration in the AGW camp, and there's certainly exaggeration and lies in the anti AGW camp. It's tragic in it's own way that while I don't believe we face a 'Day after tomorrow' style disaster, we do face a real issue, and mankind has turned it into a religious war with believers and heretics.

There's no real data that shows that. Just like there's no real data that shows the seas are going to swamp us.

I seem to recall you consistently claiming that I can't debate sensibly and that while you take the high moral ground, I resort to insults. Hilarious.

The only things you are going to get with that mindset are brutally high taxes and absolute tyranny.

There is absolutely no proof of man made global warming.
