According to NASA, 1934 was the warmest year in the United States. It’s gotten cooler here ever since. Given no empirically demonstrated positive feedback link between man-made CO2 increase and increased global temperatures, there’s no scientifically demonstrated reason to expect cutting down on emissions to have any effect on the world’s thermostat either way. It’s a crazy myth.

CORRECTION: The NASA correction was for U.S. temperatures only–not global–but still it shows that, as late as 2007, the “brilliant” scientists who purportedly provide our reason for fundamentally restructuring the global economy, aren’t even competent enough to correctly record past U.S. temperatures. Why on EARTH is their soothsaying taken seriously? They haven’t even empirically linked temp changes to positive feedback from manmade CO2 that lies at the core of the AGM Myth. This is insane!

@andrrizzzle >>The emails are only parts of the whole<< That's a truism about evidence. The emails we have are that "part of the whole" exposing U. of East Anglia CRU's undisclosed data loss, attempts to hide contradictory data, and conspiracies to sabotage publication of skeptical scientists. The emails also include the source code for the models CRU was running along with comments expressing delight over how desired results could be created by selectively inputting data.

The integrity of 75% of the data on which your Mythic Faith is based is completely dependent on the virtue of Dr. Phil Jones’ team; Jones who responded to Warwick Hughes’s request for CRU’s raw data on 2/21/05: “Even if WMO agrees, I will still not pass on the data. We have 25 or so years invested in the work. Why should I make the data available to you, when your aim is to try and find something wrong with it.” That is not a scientist but a political hack who, we know now, didn’t HAVE the data.

AGW adherents defy the laws of thermodynamics without bothering to do any math, let alone show their work. Math preserving the integrity of the laws of thermodynamics is essential to define the mechanism of the actual warming that is predicted, but such a mechanism is impossible to illustrate without factoring in the role of water vapor. We are to take CRU at their word, while their own emails show how untrustworthy they are.

>>MOST of the… increase in…temperatures…is VERY LIKELY due to…<< Baseless assertions by presumed "authorities" only "cut it" in parenting, politics and religion; NEVER in science. So which of the three is it? It's a political statement violating the logical rule; Correlation is not Causation. It's an assertion in place of an argument for religiously devoted followers of the Church of Al Gore. NASA itself has corrected its models to show a planet cooling since a 1934 global peak.

..I want to see the other list, made concurrently with that list of scientists’ signatures. It was a blacklist of those who wouldn’t sign. It’s been compiled in preparation for throwing out the heretics. That statement is a sign of a failing orthodoxy desperately striving to hang onto power and position. Even some signers have since come forward and admitted to The Times they only signed lest they see their careers end. It has been admitted as well that many signers don’t even study climate.

@andrrizzzle >>that should cut it<< Government-funded scientists issuing a statement providing cover for other government-funded scientists so they can all scam the public out of more tax money for more government-funded "research"? That "cut's it" for you? Maybe you're a government-funded scientist. What's the statistical degree of accuracy for "most of" and "very likely"? Really! Scientists wrote that? What a joke...No wonder they "misplace" their data, those Sandy Bergers of Science...

@happystance7able and that “Most of the observed increase in global average temperatures since the mid-20th century is very likely due to the observed increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas concentrations”.
I think that should cut it?

@happystance7able That research has been subject to peer review and publication, providing traceability of the evidence and support for the scientific method. The science of climate change draws on fundamental research from an increasing number of disciplines, many of which are represented here. As professional scientists, from students to senior professors, we uphold the findings of the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report, which concludes that “Warming of the climate system is unequivocal”

@happystance7able Statement from the UK science community
We, members of the UK science community, have the utmost confidence in the observational evidence for global warming and the scientific basis for concluding that it is due primarily to human activities. The evidence and the science are deep and extensive. They come from decades of painstaking and meticulous research, by many thousands of scientists across the world who adhere to the highest levels of professional integrity.

@happystance7able The emails are only parts of the whole as the hacker who hacked them used key words to weed them out. They reflect only discussion and no scientific fact about global warming. Skeptics like you just take the words out of context to make something that is harmless appear to be nefarious.

@happystance7able Well you do realize that the sun IS the warming factor in the greenhouse effect right? You do realize that you just proved yourself wrong and answered the question at the same time? Infrared rays sent from the sun trapped in the earth’s atmosphere through the accumulation of greenhouse gases and proceeds to heat the earth. Also the same East Anglia emails that you use to support every one of your arguments aren’t even creditable in the first place!

@happystance7able This is a flawed argument on your part, because behind the theory of global warming the warming factor IS the sun with infrared rays and the heat has increased due to the greenhouse effect etc. …So you basically just proved yourself wrong and answered the question all in one. 😉

The constitution also says the leader of the world must be head of the army and the senate and congress must declare war before invading any country. at least that is what i think it says. anyway, i mostly use copies of the constitution as mulch for my garden.

@601271 >>could you tell me why It is NOT a fact?<< Because the AGW Myth is entirely based on a 2007 report debunked by the fact that Planet Earth has been cooling for the past 12 years. That's why they call it "Climate Change" all the time now instead of "Global Warming". The Sun's been cooling too. Hmmmm... Imagine that! Not since the Pharisees have polticians acquired so much power by purporting to be able to control the weather. This is a disgusting joke, but to be expected from Leftists.

@601271 >>co2 is the second so i was close<< No you weren't because co2 isn't a close second. Up to 85% of the greenhouse effect is due to water vapor yet no scientist can show you evidence of negative feeback effects which prevent water vapor alone from driving the planet into "runaway global warming". The IPCC report on which laws are being passed doesn't even attempt to account for H2O vapor. Read the U. of East Anglia emails to see how political/unscientific GW is. Google Alan Carlin.

@andrrizzzle All estimations of how long plant food stays in the atmosphere are critically flawed. It isn’t even established that co2 increase has been largely industrial. This is because there has been NO study of how much co2 has been produced by natural, solar-induced feedback loops between water vapor and co2. Much of the co2 called “industrial” by Believers is likely the result of unstudied processes involving H2O vapor and oceans/plants releasing co2 as a result of solar-related activity.

@andrrizzzle Now, unlike you, I see no constitutional problem with teaching the Myth about Global Warming in schools. It’s wrong that they do it and I complain about it at my local school board meetings, but they have the constitutional right to try to sell misguided beliefs to our children just as others have the right to sell traditional religious beliefs. Neither violate the First Amendment because that amendment applies only to LAWS passed by legislative bodies, not ACTIONS like teaching.

@andrrizzzle Since 1) water vapor is so voluminous in the atmosphere 2) it acts both as a warming (insulating) AND cooling (reflective) agent AND 3) it’s not accounted for in ANY of the GW models, it is utterly unscientific to purport that CO2 increase from any source will 1) produce either a net increase or decrease of temperature or that 2) such change will be either substantial or insignificant. The Global Warming Crisis is nothing but an Envireligious Myth you hold dear to your heart.
