    OK, good point. But even if you allow yourself hersay you stil have only one lie.

    Those were just a few selections from the first ten google results.

    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.

    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. A real scientist assumes that NOTHING is factual until it's PROVEN.

    None has been debunked.

    Because you simply ignore any evidence that doesn't support your theory, or claim it to be fabricated. This is getting repetitive.

    fat_boy wrote:

    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.

      "Hey, my country was colder than average this year! It must be an ice age!"

      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.

          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.

                      One of which states "by 1983 as the name for overall rising temperatures". Over all. Get it? Warming all over the place. Of course you know why GW was changed to CC. Its to get around the fact it isnt warming in many parts of the earth. And of those that are, the warming isnt as great as in the 1930's in some parts. US, Canada, Grenland,Arctic, Siberia, Scndanavia.

                        1. Tom Nelson is a blogger not a journalist. 2) Anthony Watts to quote: "About Anthony: I’m a former television meteorologist who spent 25 years on the air and who also operates a weather technology and content business, as well as continues daily forecasting on radio, just for fun." 3) You tube vid: Quoted scientists. etc several more from Watts. 6 or 7, Delling pole. Yep, a journalist. Talking about the Jones inquiry. 9) Rich Trzupek quoting schnieder, a scientist. 10) Journalist reporting politicians so not a scientific point of view. So, lots of quotes form scientists on both sides. Do you consdier them crackpot? A financial journalist wuoting the events of a pollitical meting. Hardly crackpot. Watts. A weather man. And Delingpole, a commentor for the Telegraph. Tell me, didnt journalists expose the watergate scandal?

Its to get around the fact it isnt warming in many parts of the earth. And of those that are, the warming isnt as great as in the 1930's in some parts. US, Canada, Grenland,Arctic, Siberia, Scndanavia.

                            Cute. Out of all the different dictionaries cited on that page, you pick the one that describes the ETYMOLOGY instead of the DEFINITION. Funny how every actual DEFINITION on that page uses the word "average." So until you can wrap your mind around the concept of a global AVERAGE, this discussion again becomes entirely pointless. Your homework for the day... Look up the definitions of "FACT" and "AVERAGE".

                                First, being a weather-man does not make you a scientist. Most have degrees in journalism, not science. Secondly, having looked at weather data for 25 years doesn't make you a credible climate change scientist. As for most of the others, sure they're using scientists, but you didn't use them, you used something written by a non-scientist and I think we can all agree that if you have a specific viewpoint to start with, you can find quotes and papers to back you up. As for number 10, well, it's great that you can tell how politicians feel about a subject by what they do, since we all know that there's no way they're politically motivated.

                                    Yeah, sorry, I didnt have the time to go and ask all the scientists individually, I used a video off youtube which had done it already. My profound alppologies for my lazyness and lack of professionalism. End of the day AGW theory has problems: 1) The troposphere isnt as warm as it should be. 2) The south pole is not warming. 3) Man made CO2 is not having a detectable effect on temperatute outside of normal variation. Almost every scientist in the world agrees with that, whether they be pro AGW or against it because they are the hard and fast facts. Bob Watson and Phil Jones, both in the pro AGW camp, have both stated as much. Lindzen and Christy both in the anti AGW camp the same. Lets forget the crap, and look at the basic empiracle evidence for AGW.

                                      I dont have to. You provided on that fits perfectly.

                                      No he didnt. No one can since it is a well known problemn with the AGW theory.

                                        You recently stated that GW sceptics had lied. Can you provide proof of this?

                                          This is an interesting story. The satelites showed no warming, and this was veririfed by weather ballon radings (Sonde readings). The satellite data was later adjusted for skin drag and time of day reading which produced a slight warming trend. This is the troposphere trend, which is about a third the surface trend. This raises a procedural question, given that weather ballons had been used for centuries why was their validation of the satellite data discarded? It was later suggested that the weather ballon data should be adjusted too. Again, why should centuries of accepted scientific method be changed because the data is unpalatable?
