So on one side you have myself, Manner of speaking and ChrisJ2 who agree that the science and data is pretty clear that the climate is warming and that human activity must at least have some contribution to it.

Then on the other you have Mises and VisQ who vacillate between denying warming is human caused to denying its actually happening at all if they can get away with it...and use ever more extreme language and crazy sources to spam the board...rvealing their basic emotionalism and irrationality.

Un;less someone more reasoned and logical steps forward from the deniers, then I think this debate is basically over...

There's a big difference between scepticism, & denial, visitorq. And just because one group of climatologists in the UK display an abysmmal lack of integrity & professionalism (CRU), doesn't automatically translate to all other climatologists as also being corrupt on a global scale. Your 'wonjc' theory is just laughable.

I never used the words "all" or "automatically". But the fact is that the fraudulent data has been used all over the world (including the bogus hockey stick model, which is used by the CSIRO to this day), and several top Australian scientists were directly complicit in those emails. But you won't even read the emails, because YOU'RE the one who's in denial.

I worked in the Australian Government, for nearly 3 decades, & went to the BOM, (Bureau of Meteorology) several times, back in 1974, when I was 18. This was well before the internet age of the 90's. I manually transcribed rainfall data from the direct BOM sources (which most academics would agree is the best source), assisting hydrologists. I transcribed the data exactly as I saw it. I also transcribed data from pluviographs (automatic rainfall recording devices) which was later utilised in planning the now completed Teemburra Creek Dam. Even if anyone had offered me money or other inducements to over or under state the actual data, I would have pointblank refused. Does that make me a co-conspirator, simply because I've used actual BOM data? You'd have to be a complete moron to think so. This may come as a shock to some sceptics, but a lot of scientists still have integrity, & no amount of bribe money or threats will sway them.

Yeah, and I'm the Don Diego's arch nemesis, Basil Rathbone. Nice to meet you.

Dinosuars are believed to have been wiped out by a meteor. A meteor which threw up a massive dust cloud which obscured the sun. This also killed many other species.

Also I think he was being sarcastic.

Like most on the left, you don't understand economics. VQ actually explained to you in an earlier post why ETS and such, benefits big oil. Carbon taxes will drive up the price of oil. Some of that money will end up in the pockets of the oil companies.

I would be surprised if VQ denies climate change. Denying climate change is like denying the sun rising. The Earth was a ball of molten rock 6 billion years ago. Climate change is a natural occurrence. The causes of those changes were likely set in motion thousands, maybe millions of years ago.

Data from the last decade proves this. The world isn't warming right now. The climate is changing but that isn't cause for alarm. Change is the only constant in nature.

Big oil is controlled by the banking elite. The bankers also run the government (they are the real government). The BBC is an extension of the government. Get it yet?

This is a well known fact that CO2 lags behind temperature by around 800 years. If you google it, you'll get around 23 million hits. Here's one of many:

Millions? No wonder you're so clueless- you think small! The money at stake in the AGW scam is trillions, not millions. When the AGW panic causes oil prices to go up, Exxon Mobil makes billions of dollars more. The odd million they throw around to conservative think tanks is just to confuse dim-witted morons. I take it you're one of those who are confused.

Precisely. This is even on record (a large portion of Al Gore's fortune comes from Occidental Petroleum, and he is set to be the first billionaire from his business ventures in carbon trading). He is a despicable, lying piece of trash who deserves to be locked up till the end of time.

You're a hypocrite because you want me to do as you say, not as you do. How many times have I have reported you to the mods for your insults? Zero. Because I'm not a little control freak cry baby.

BS. Explain why Exxon funded AGW skeptic groups otherwise your conspiracy theory falls completely flat.

Quote:
The world's largest oil company is continuing to fund lobby groups that question the reality of global warming, despite a public pledge to cut support for such climate change denial, a new analysis shows.

Company records show that ExxonMobil handed over hundreds of thousands of pounds to such lobby groups in 2008. These include the National Center for Policy Analysis (NCPA) in Dallas, Texas, which received $75,000 (�45,500), and the Heritage Foundation in Washington DC, which received $50,000.

The science is fairly settled that increasing global temperatures cause increased CO2 levels and not conversely.




Climategate exposes the cabal that supported the carbon tax for the enrichment of Al Gore et al. based on lies and phoney science.

It's the al gore et al cabal.




Phoney pictures promote the lie of declining habitat for polar bears. A little global warming may actually increase their population and range of habitation.

The real victim in the global warming hoax is science. I have lost faith in the scientific establishment. I see them as corrupt.

Quote:
Fifty-nine percent (59%) of Americans say it�s at least somewhat likely that some scientists have falsified research data to support their own theories and beliefs about global warming. Thirty-five percent (35%) say it�s Very Likely. Just 26% say it�s not very or not at all likely that some scientists falsified data.

"The IUCN states, "If climatic trends continue, polar bears may become extirpated from most of their range within 100 years." On May 14, 2008, the United States Department of the Interior listed the polar bear as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act."

"The huge loss of summer sea ice in 2007 has caused many scientists to project that the Arctic could be ice-free in summer by as soon as 2012. Although excellent swimmers, polar bears are not very good at catching seals in the water. Seals comprise the main diet for these giant bears, which are far larger than their grizzly bear cousins."

http://www.ipsnews.net/news.asp?idnews=41550

Hardly sounds like the polar bear population is increasing, contrary to the jibberish & misinformation spread by visitorq. And yes, I noticed mention of the IPCC in the links. But that was only one of 2 separate sources listed.

Quote:
Population: There are nineteen hypothesized subpopulations or stocks which number in total 20,000 to 25,000 bears. Considerable overlap of putative populations occurs and genetic differences among them are small.

All your sources are bunk. The IUCN is just another UN tentacle, totally worthless as an authority. You have been brainwashed to the core.
