I am reviving this 2008 thread, to add current and relevant data.

GLOBAL-WARMING TEMPERATURE DATA HAS BEEN FAKED FOR YEARS!
The temperature data from South America has been "adjusted" since the 1950s, to try and prove global temperatures are rising faster than they really are.

More evidence of what?
Are you one of those who still believe that about 97% of the scientist who study climate are in cahoots with each other to alter the data in order to fulfill the climate change 'scam'?
Many of us focus on the CO2 trend on these threads since CO2 is one of the major by products of combustion. Our CO2 levels are climbing fast, yet there are still many who apparently refuse to accept that the CO2 is caused by man's addiction to burning coal, oil, and natural gas.
It is shameful that we can not have a reasonable discussion on the issue.

No, the 97% is a real number and most of those who oppose climate change, the 3ish% are bankrolled by the Oil Cartel
Do i really need to link the threads and post with this information?
Last week Secretary of State John Kerry warned graduating students at Boston College of the "crippling consequences" of climate change. "Ninety-seven percent of the world's scientists," he added, "tell us this is urgent."
Where did Mr. Kerry get the 97% figure? Perhaps from his boss, President Obama, who tweeted on May 16 that "Ninety-seven percent of scientists agree: #climate change is real, man-made and dangerous." Or maybe from NASA, which posted (in more measured language) on its website, "Ninety-seven percent of climate scientists agree that climate-warming trends over the past century are very likely due to human activities."
Yet the assertion that 97% of scientists believe that climate change is a man-made, urgent problem is a fiction. The so-called consensus comes from a handful of surveys and abstract-counting exercises that have been contradicted by more reliable research.
One frequently cited source for the consensus is a 2004 opinion essay published in Science magazine by Naomi Oreskes, a science historian now at Harvard. She claimed to have examined abstracts of 928 articles published in scientific journals between 1993 and 2003, and found that 75% supported the view that human activities are responsible for most of the observed warming over the previous 50 years while none directly dissented.
Ms. Oreskes's definition of consensus covered "man-made" but left out "dangerous"—and scores of articles by prominent scientists such as Richard Lindzen, John Christy, Sherwood Idso and Patrick Michaels, who question the consensus, were excluded. The methodology is also flawed. A study published earlier this year in Nature noted that abstracts of academic papers often contain claims that aren't substantiated in the papers.

The number you pulled was from 2003, 12 years ago. The consensus of the scientists has shifted since then. Also The Wall Street Journal is an economic journal, not a science journal and do a little research on the authors of the article tells their tale.
I see you like to take the 'tu quoque' approach with faced with criticism.
Do you really believe the overwhelming majority of scientists are making this stuff up as part of a ponzi scheme or scam to raise our taxes?edit on 12-2-2015 by jrod because: Note that Joseph Blast is president of The Heartland Institute and Roy Spencer is in cahoots with The Heartland Insitute

I can find a thread that suggests the 97ish% is an accurate consensus, but you will laugh it off. Scientific consensus, shunsensus...it does not matter.
Are you going to respond to the fact that the WSJ article was co-written by the president of The Heartland Institute and a 'scientist' who is bankrolled by Exon?

Yet those who wrote the article have been shown guilty time and again of manipulation of science for their agenda.
Do you even know what the Heartland Institute is all about? Or what kind of products Exon mines and sells?
The debate is over, I am wasting my time. The information is available, but some will choose a pseudo-science article out of an economic journal as 'proof' that the vast majority got it wrong.
You claim to look at facts, but you ignore the obvious facts and the clear links of the problems humans are causing this planet.
How do we know you do now have an agenda? Your posts suggest dis-honest debate tactics.....

I saw this a few days ago.
I really think we need more evidence, and a sustained (and above all) honest debate.
The problem always occurs when science becomes politicised, that there will be dishonesty somewhere down the line.

That is not an attack. It is constructive criticism that you took the tu quoque approach instead of addressing the issues I raised.
