Have you heard about the medieval warm period, and the traditional defence used by AGW alarmists that it doesnt make current warming unimportant because 'the MWP was a northern hemisphere only event'? Please do look it up. Well, guess what current warming looks like? (Here's a tip, the southern hemisphere isnt warming in any kind of stastically significant fashion). So come on, if thats the best you got, and quite frankly I have countered it without even drawing breath, then you lost.

You really do have a one-track mind, don't you? Would you like me to go search YouTube to find some anti-GW guys saying stupid things? That seems to be the debate strategy on this issue. Find some "researcher" who really hates the AGW theory, and catch him in a moment of stupidity? I'm blocked from it at work, but I think you can agree that something like that wouldn't be too hard to find. Or we could go through and find instances where the so-called "skeptics" look at a huge set of data, pick two numbers that support their point of view, and claim that it's PROOF that they're right. "Hey, my country was colder than average this year! It must be an ice age!" That's just as stupid as saying "It's really hot this year! It must be global warming!" Both sides are guilty of this one. Or what about the lie YOU keep on spouting... That global warming can't be happening unless every single point on the globe is getting warmer (I don't see how the concept of an AVERAGE is so difficult to grasp). "Everything's fine! Antarctica is getting colder... No, don't look at the rest of the world... Just look over there!" Seriously, if you're going to call me out, you should bring more ammo.

Do you really think countries or humanity for that matter will change enough in time if it does really exist? I'm not necessarily convinced. We can't even live in peace together let alone agree on a scientific theory. The US alone has more people convinced that the theory of evolution isn't true. Why... religion and superstition. A scientific approach to all things real in life, for even people who are in scientific based careers don't necessarily apply it to their beliefs. Look at CSS for example, he admits to altering his state of mind with drugs, fails to apply the logic of programming computers to his conspiracy theories he find on places like infowars. I've seen more people want instant results than are willing to put in the necessary work to make their dreams a reality. We as the human race could have heaven on earth, but why do that when all you have to do is die to get it and that will eventually come anyway so no effort is needed. On some level people, at least in the west, know that to be bull and thus don't. The middle east isn't there yet. They still deep down believe in magic.

In a 1801 paper, Herschel discusses an inverse correlation between the price of wheat and the number of sunspots visible on the Sun. Herschel speculated that when the sun was highly spotted, it “may lead us to expect copious emission of heat and therefore mild seasons,” while few spots suggested “spare emission of heat” accompanied by “severe seasons”. Herschel, W. (1801). “Observations Tending to Investigate the Nature of the Sun, in Order to Find the Causes and Symptoms of its Variable Emission of Light and Heat ...” Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Vol. 91, pp. 261-331. So Herschel observed a correlation between sunspot activity which suggests that periods of high sunspot activity are good for the wheat crop in England. You wish to claim that this is a climate study? Further you have cited one paper to support your claim that such studies have been going on for "hundreds of years". Admittedly an 1801 paper takes it back just over two hundred years. However you fail to recognise that in that period other papers were published which support the notion of global warming. E.G. (adapted from Wikipedia) In 1824, Joseph Fourier found that Earth's atmosphere kept the planet warmer than would be the case in a vacuum, and he made the first calculations of the warming effect. In a 1827 paper Fourier stated, "The establishment and progress of human societies, the action of natural forces, can notably change, and in vast regions, the state of the surface, the distribution of water and the great movements of the air. Such effects are able to make to vary, in the course of many centuries, the average degree of heat; because the analytic expressions contain coefficients relating to the state of the surface and which greatly influence the temperature." Another Swedish scientist, Svante Arrhenius, integrated Avrid Högbom's and Samuel Pierpoint Langley's work. He realized that Högbom's calculation of human influence on carbon would eventually lead to a doubling of atmospheric carbon dioxide, and used Langley's observations of increased infrared absorption where moon rays pass through atmosphere at a low angle, encountering more CO2, to estimate an atmospheric warming effect from a future doubling of CO2. He also realized the effect would also reduce snow and ice cover on e

Show me where I specifically stated what KIND of lies they said.

Well, in fact sceptical scientists such as Christy and LIndzen merely state the facts which are: 1) Troposphere warming is not as great as it should be according to AGW theory. 2) The south pole should be warming alot according to AGW theory. 3) Man made CO2 has no detectable effect on global temperature. Let me quote two other sceptical scientists here: "It is a remarkable fact that despite the worldwide expenditure of perhaps US$50 billion since 1990, and the efforts of tens of thousands of scientists worldwide, no human climate signal has yet been detected that is distinct from natural variation."

The paper does not actually deal with weather conditions. It finds that there is an inverse correlation between the price of wheat in England and sunspot activity. It then speculates that this may be evidence that sunspot activity influences the weather.

Again, not going into raw numbers yet again, but #3 is not a "fact." It's a hypothesis. None of the models have given conclusive results for either side. Claiming that this is a "fact" is itself a lie. This is, as I keep saying, your main problem... You ASSUME that you're right, and that everything on your side is factual.

Why should I bother criticizing the AGW side? You're doing plenty of that already. I'm not trying to push you to the AGW side... I'm trying to push you back to the center, which is, as I see it, the sensible position. If you started spouting crap about how we're all going to die in ten years because the planet is going to roast to a cinder, I'd be taking the anti-GW side to, again, bring you to the center.

Now of course you know I am refering to the recent alarmist form of AGW, not the well known fact that gasses can store heat. As a good example of what I am refering to consoder the Hockey stick as produced principly by Mann. In the IPCC AR1 report the long held view of historuic temperature was used. THis included a MWP warmer than today. For AR2 and 3 this was replaced with Manns hockey stick, showing no MWP. (As we later know this graph was dropped in AR4 after it was found to be based on bad science) It is this replacing of of long held understanding to whioch I am refering, and in this example a good indicaiotn of how the new science did not even stand up when criticised. As always, the new science must prove itself to be valid.

You stated that my statement that partial warming does not constitute global warming was stupid. I drew your attention to the fact that the same thing is said about the MWP by alarmists. I asked you to either criticise them the same way or explain your double standards.
Why should I bother criticizing the AGW side? You're doing plenty of that already. I'm not trying to push you to the AGW side... I'm trying to push you back to the center, which is, as I see it, the sensible position. If you started spouting crap about how we're all going to die in ten years because the planet is going to roast to a cinder, I'd be taking the anti-GW side to, again, bring you to the center.

Models. :laugh: I am talking about the real world. OK, to quote Bob Watson AGW proponent. He stated, and I have provided the link in the past that there is no evidence man made CO2 caused the recent warming, but since they cannot account for it any other way it must be man made CO2 causing it. Not to mention the other scientist I quoted in my last reponse who said that there is no detectable effect of man made OC2 on temperature outside of natural variation.

Absoloutely. And the theory of AGW is not proven because: 1) Its effect cant be detected on temperatured outside natural variation. 2) Troposphere warming is not as great as the theory dictates (its about a third what it should be BTW) 3) The south pole is not warming up whcih the theory dictates it should do. OK, lets redefine our position on the GW vs not GW point. I consider that an increase in AVERAGE global temperature is not global warming. Since CO2 is distributed evenly in the atmosphere, any effect of CO2 should be global. The fact that it isnt tends to imply that CO2 is not having such an effect as the theory suggests.

Thats what Schnieder said by the way... However, I am pretty sure Lindzen or Christy or Palmer or any of the other thousands of sceptical scientists havent said that. Unless of course you can find a quote to back up your allegation.

That global warming can't be happening unless every single point on the globe is getting warmer
Have you heard about the medieval warm period, and the traditional defence used by AGW alarmists that it doesnt make current warming unimportant because 'the MWP was a northern hemisphere only event'? Please do look it up. Well, guess what current warming looks like? (Here's a tip, the southern hemisphere isnt warming in any kind of stastically significant fashion). So come on, if thats the best you got, and quite frankly I have countered it without even drawing breath, then you lost.

Define scientist. And shouldn't you also say, scientists that specialized in certain areas. I'm not going to go touting something from someone who is a medical researcher and claim they're a climate change expert. So, who should we limit it to? What do they need to have studied to make their views and interpretations of data credible? We certainly know you get most of your information from credible crackpot scientists journalists.

Its funny really how people make things up in order to attempt to discredit an argument. I would like you to find say more than 10 things I have quoted that came from journalists.

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. And you're quoting one guy who says something, and claiming it to be a fact. Opinions are not facts unless backed up by evidence.

"Not proven" is not the same thing as "Wrong." There's this HUGE area in between "Right" and "Wrong" called "Unknown." That's where we are now. We don't know. If people would just admit this, we'd all be a lot better off.

CO2 is NOT distributed evenly in the atmosphere, due to circulation patterns. The northern and southern hemispheres are partially isolated from one another, among other things. We've discussed this before, but again, you just ignore anything that doesn't suit your purposes. EDIT: Oh, and by the way, what you "consider" to be the definition of global warming doesn't change the ACTUAL definition[^].

We are, "climate control" means controlling all human behavior. Its MAN MADE global warming remember? MAN MADE, that means when governments crackdown with their flowery named CLEAN ENGERY and CLIMATE BILLS they will be cracking-down on the free will individual and the individual's reproductive organs.

You are obsessed by this. Where birth control is available, parents can decide for themselves how many children they wish to have. Population Reduction in 'the West', has been the sum of all these individual, freely made, Birth Control choices. That is how it will work elsewhere.
