I thought this was all dead anyways. It hasnt been beat into me on an hourly basis by the TV/Radio/posters on ATS. I can remember when that Fragile Earth topic took up over half of the most recent posts. What a pointless time to be reading threads that was.

Oh well.

I'm sure nothing will come of this. Once the prospect for governments to tax their people is in play nothing short of armed revolt can stop them.



You beat me to it!

I was going to say that someone forgot to pay off these scientists last month.


Sick.

The scientific objections in this thread from the supposed "dissenters" are stupendously ignorant and just plain blatantly.

I too am a professional scientist (not in climate) but I started to read about what scientists in the field who were doing this for real have accomplished and know.

All of them (and many more misunderstandings) have been debunked for a long time.

1) "The effect of the Sun has not been included." Of course changes in solar output are not included in the IPCC projections of "what happens if you emit more GHG's" because that's not the goal. Everybody knows that more solar output means hotter, less solar output means cooler. But since we do not have any reason to predict any trend in solar output, there is no point to including change in the models.

The insinuation is that the climatologists have somehow "forgotten" about the role of the Sun and not seriously considered it. This is a total lie. Issues of solar output have been studied for decades, both in historical climate records (important for estimating climate sensitivity), and there have been ongoing physical measurements of solar output in recent years.

2) "water vapor is most of greenhouse effect". Of course it is significant, and all climatologists have known this since the beginning, but it is not an important *driver* of climate since it is in physical dynamical equilibrium because the oceans are enormous. It is a responder to climate since extra water goes in and out at timescales of 2 weeks, but greenhouse gases last decades to millenia. The amount of water vapor depends on the temperature and the climate as determined by long term drivers, not the other way around.

Again, the underlying insinuation is that professional scentists---the whole bulk of them---have forgotten about water vapor is yet another stupid and insidious lie. It is like imagining cardiothoracic surgeons all forgot about the liver.

If the dissenters have actual scientific arguments and some evidence they are encouraged to discuss them with scientists & submit them for publication. And throughout the years, man such papers which may have lowered climate sensitivity or cast doubt on standard predictions have in fact been published.

It turns out a number of them ended up having some significant methodological and data errors, discovered later.

But the type of objections as described in the first post come into the "would flunk out of oceanography 101".

See www.realclimate.org for factual information on climate science.

And then there's the final idiotic assertion that the number of authors of the IPCC report somehow is a legitimate count of the number of professionals in the field who agree with the conclusions. Three eminent scientists might write a review article about some area of chemistry, but 3,000 actual chemists really agree with it.

In truth, many of the actual disagreements from scientists in the field in some areas surround areas where they feel the IPCC is too slow and conservative, not taking into account newly discovered nonlinear phenomena which have the potential to make things markedly worse more quickly, and they'd want the upper bound on the confidence intervals raised.

Such as? What kind of "cycle"? What kind of "natural"?

What specifically is the physical mechanism, what are the observations, experiments and theory, which support this mechanism, and what other mechanism is there to negate the observed physical effect of more infrared emissivity from increasing greenhouse gases? (this last effect is an observed fact, not conjecture).

Just saying "it's a natural cycle" only seems to turn off the brains of some. Actual climate scientists don't.


look at Mars which is also warming, Greenland has more Ice now than ever before, Glaciers are melting, but there are many growing!


1) We're not talking about Mars.
2) Remember, that you can get more ice when it warms up because you get more snow. In many Arctic/Antarctic regions it's so cold, but also very dry. Not much weather. Warmer weather, moist warmer air interacting with cold air makes

This is why there is more *snowfall* in Buffalo NY and Chicago, than many deep Arctic regions.

But the melt rate is also increasing because temperatures are warming.



Global warming is real, it’s just completely natural.

They fact that people swallowed the crap from Al Gore is just scary.

Leave Gore out of it. Listen to actual scientists, who have been working on this for decades.

Hello ATS, I'm not a member yet but I'm hoping someone on here can help me to find a link to recent satelite imagery, say for october, november and december (up to now) for the extent of ice sheet coverage at the Arctic (north pole)?

I've been searching for about an hour and google is pulling up lots of hits for the Antarctic but I cannot find anything for the north polar region.

This is because I've heard that the north pole ice sheet is expanding at a tremendous rate this year and I'm a bit worried especially as I can't seem to find any info.

If anyone can provide a link it would be very much appreciated.

Cheers.

Oh GEE, and Russia is supposed to become the one of the largest exporters of oil and natural gas. They dont' tend to benefit from an anti-global warming effort.


You'll note it's a Lack of Russian information that created an appearance of GW. Think before you speak and you'd make more sense. Wouldn't Russia benefit if there was NO evidence of GW? That isn't the case. There are no Russian scientists or data involved in refuting GW.

Geez. Did you just see Russia, oil and GW and f*** it all up into something it's not, or is this the way you really are?

Really, whether it's warming or cooling, people didn't do it. Bravo!
That is the entire point.

Excellent points Sarah. Get some rest.
In Sum: Man can't change weather. GW is all about money and control.

An examination in this case of who these scientists are, and who they have worked for would change the whole flavor of this story. If it turned out upon examination that 70% of these dissenters worked for DOW chemicals, Exxon, Monsanto or PNAC, certain think tanks, their motives and their masters would come to light and nobody could/would fall for it yet again



the bottom half of the piece contains references to all the most recent data sources refuting GW. These are objective observations and measurements, not interpretations or opinions, and thus independently verifiable. Just facts. No influence on thermometers and such.

blatantly what? you're not a linguist either are you?

The point of this thread is not anti-change! You obviously have not read the discussions and papers.

The issue is man-made change. If you are a scientist then you know that with 380ppm CO2, that alone, as contributed by man, cannot possibly affect global weather.

Man can't control weather up, down, hot, dry or indifferent.

You'd do ATS a favor to read up on the issue before you attack the wrong target.

Although I do not have a science degree. I have trouble believing in a man-made Global Warming after the other hoax about Acid Rain.

Sure I can see human destructive nature and polluting habits influence nature, but the war on carbon is not for restoring or preventing. The only reason is to get more money by regulation and taxation.

Farmers have to pay tax for their stock, but this doesn't mean they have less animals and produce smaller co² because people want to eat. So pricing for products just goes up to settle difference for taxation. Nothing changed.

Oil and derived products are taxed higher, but alternatives are kept at high prices so everyone able to afford a car still drives. Transportation costs are paid by consumers in the end. People are not driving less than before. There are more cars on the road and numbers are climbing.

So I do not see how more tax will help. I only see a way to make more money via tax and using climate as excuse. That is very sad.

Not sure if it was HAARP or similar trying to blast holes in the atmosphere. Someone correct me if wrong. Those experiments are more dangerous than me as a living being breathing air I guess. Though not stopped.

People making jokes asking if I want to buy some carbon vouchers. I think if these climate fearmongers had their way it might be reality in the future.

In any case I am glad scientists are speaking out. Although its a bit strange that they did after funding stopped. That almost state they would keep lying if their fundings where not ended and can be used to discredit their claims.

All these claims that global warming is a hoax have been debunked.

Global warming is happening, and even the scientists paid by oil companies to debunk global warming do not try to deny that global warming is happening, only that it is caused by man.

The best the AGW crowd can do is refute the evidence that mankind is causing global warming. These scientists do not deny that there is evidence that humanity might be causing global warming, they just claim that there is not enough evidence to prove it. This is hardly a logical reason to bet the future of humanity on.

People who deny global warming are slaves to the IC's, who are the real powers behind NWO efforts. Efforts to combat pollution create jobs, and efforts to develop alternative energy sources allow people to become independent from big oil corporations and corporations in general. It is pay at the pump or pay the taxes.

If you want to create jobs and energy independence, than you should support alternative energy, otherwise, you are choosing to be a slave to IC's.

Don't you realize it is the NWO that benefits from GW!

We will have and already have to some extent (forget Kyoto?) world rules! There is going to be a World Climate Court per the UK's Gordon and certain lawyers and MPs.

They've already introduced the legislation. It will be just like the Internationl Court of Justice in the Hague, except they can punish you if you pollute or eat farm-raised food.

Seek and you shall find. This is currently on Drudge right now and has been on ATS.

Think before you speak and you will no longer embarass yourself and your family.

Man cannot change the weather1 Up, down, wet, dry, or otherwise.
We can and do destroy our local environment through carelessness and indifference, but we will not, in our lifetimes, control the weather.

God, ignorance disgusts me.

Thanks for the story. I too have been skeptical about the whole global warming issue. It seems blown out of proportion, but I'm not saying that we should continue trashing the environment. I just think that maybe there is more to the global warming claims that the scientist and government is hiding.

I love it when I can re-use posts. FYI -

Global warming has benefited from one of the greatest public relations and marketing efforts in recent history. You'll hear plenty from environmentalists about carbon emissions, clean energy, and the disappearing arctic, but here's what you will NEVER hear them admit:

Scientists have reaped MILLIONS from their global warming "research." They've turned supporting global warming - into a cash cow!

These same scientists were trying to convince us the world was cooling just a few decades ago, when that's where the grant money was.

Read up on the carbon credit scam & so called "cap and trade". This "creates" a whole new paper trading / subsides industry. If this is allowed to happen there will be to much money in it for it to ever go away.

What Governments and Special Interest groups believe in is all the money that will come with the "carbon credit" scam and all the power it gives a government to do as it wishes against the will of the people in the "interest" of mankind

Companies are figuring out how to work the ridiculous "Carbon Credits" debacle to make big bucks. (and as they get paid, traders trade paper and real industries have to buy the paper and pass on the cost to .... wait for it... US!)

Rhodia, is a French Company, makes adipic acid which is a chemical used in the production of nylon. They have moved their operation to South Korea and Brazil. Why?

A by-product of their manufacturing process is the creation of nitrous oxide, a greenhouse gas that is over 300 times more potent as an atmospheric warming agent than carbon dioxide. Rhodia destroys the nitrous oxide after it has been created and then claims carbon credit reimbursement for the green house gasses it has eradicated.

Rhodia, makes more money from this scam than they do from their primary business, They are raking in around a three hundred million dollars a year - more money than the whole of Africa is from Carbon credit reimbursements!

Also, Al Gore has a very big personal investment into bringing this carbon credit (cap & trade) to America.

Here is the deal, this whole Kyoto protocol is nothing but a money grab. Even many die hard global warming groups are starting to see that this scheme will do little to nothing in reducing carbon emissions.

Global Warming - NASA Scientist Dr. Hansen caught again

Article Quotes - NASA Scientist caught lying again

vocalminority.typepad.com...


I for one did not know that this had happened. This is Gore's pet global warming gloom and doom prophet again being caught passing off bad data and when caught, they try to cover it up.

www.telegraph.co.uk.../opinion/2008/11/16/do1610.xml

If there is one scientist more responsible than any other for the alarm over global warming it is Dr Hansen, who set the whole scare in train back in 1988 with his testimony to a US Senate committee chaired by Al Gore. Again and again, Dr Hansen has been to the fore in making extreme claims over the dangers of climate change. (He was recently in the news here for supporting the Greenpeace activists acquitted of criminally damaging a coal-fired power station in Kent, on the grounds that the harm done to the planet by a new power station would far outweigh any damage they had done themselves.)

Yet last week's latest episode is far from the first time Dr Hansen's methodology has been called in question. In 2007 he was forced by Mr Watts and Mr McIntyre to revise his published figures for US surface temperatures, to show that the hottest decade of the 20th century was not the 1990s, as he had claimed, but the 1930s.

Another of his close allies is Dr Rajendra Pachauri, chairman of the IPCC, who recently startled a university audience in Australia by claiming that global temperatures have recently been rising "very much faster" than ever, in front of a graph showing them rising sharply in the past decade. In fact, as many of his audience were aware, they have not been rising in recent years and since 2007 have dropped.

Dr Pachauri, a former railway engineer with no qualifications in climate science, may believe what Dr Hansen tells him. But whether, on the basis of such evidence, it is wise for the world's governments to embark on some of the most costly economic measures ever proposed, to remedy a problem which may actually not exist, is a question which should give us all pause for thought.

Again and again, Dr Hansen has been to the fore in making extreme claims over the dangers of climate change.

In addition, as the Telegraph article goes on to say, this is not the first time Hansen has been caught fixing the climate data! As Christopher Horner reported last September that the very same Anthony Watts caught NASA fixing the data by placing thermometers “… in Arizona parking lots, overhanging black asphalt pads, near cell towers and hot-air blowing air conditioner exhausts or next to trash burn barrels, … setting one just away from a chimney directly above a Weber barbecue grill …”

Horner goes on to explain:

This embarrassment came amid NASA also having to correct its data since the year 2000, which has been used to support many of the global warming alarmists’ “money claims”, such as Al Gore’s line that 9 of the 10 hottest years on record occurred in the past decade.

Well, no. We now know that this is false and that NASA has corrected the record to reflect that the warmest year in the U.S. was 1934, 4 of the 10 warmest here occurred in the 1930s, 3 during the 1990s, and one each in the 1920s, 1950s and this decade. That this claim has now been debunked, like most every other statement of substance in Mr. Gore’s movie.

I dont know how more wrong that post can get. The protective magnetic field is not produced by the sun. Whatever moron thinks that needs to start doing some real science. The magnetic field of the earth deflects most of the ionized radiation from the sun. That field itself is generated by the core of the earth.

So What! All of the changes and progress that are billed to fight global warming need to be done anyhow, for a host of different reasons. We have the technology to move forward. We didn't switch from horses to automobiles because horses were killing us. Carbon based fuel is killing us; rich and poor. The Livery stable became the Garage and the Blacksmith became the Mechanic. Hydrogen-electric power systems for our homes and transportation will make us more independent as a nation and as individuals. Now the garage mechanics, the electritions and the plumbers can combine as home and auto energy technitions and we can remove one more wire and one more pipe from entering our property.
That is more independence and PROGRESS.

Global warming? Come on, only independent scientists can talk about that. The rest ( a lot of them ) say what has to be said in order to keep being paid . That's all about the money, and when it's too late we'll be telling our kids how great life was without gas masks.

I am not a geologist, but I have 2 theories on global warming. The earth either has a "fever" from all the pollution and yuck we're doing to the planet (could we be like little viruses?)... or... (and I'm female) just like the female body, the body's temperature changes depending upon what part of the "monthly cycle" you are in. Around the time you ovulate (mid-cycle, meaning you can become pregnant) a female's basal body temperature (resting temperature, before arising from bed) goes up almost an entire degree or degree & a half from the norm. And, when you become pregnant, your basal body temperature stays at about a degree higher than "normal." I believe the earth is a living, breathing "body." So if scientists are saying, nope, we're not causing the "fever" on the earth from the polution... then yes, it could simply be the earth is just going through some normal "mid-month" cycle. Granted, the earth's "month" might be several 1000 years in length.
