Ok hold on now, Maybe we need to increase global warming! Winter Is Coming!

Nope Rod, you guys are in the know. There aren't thousands of scientists and scientific papers and studies out there that prove the legitimacy of climate change. Again, it's a big liberal myth and conspiracy, and you, the truly heroic few - our brave, conservative, tea-party heroes - are on top of it. You've got it all figured out. The entire scientific community and agencies like NASA and the NOAA are all leading us blind sheep by our noses. We're all just gullible, idiotic, dumbass libtards that are stupid enough to think climate change is a real concern and maybe, just maybe, we should do something about it.

So you'll just gloss over the countless incidents of falsified data all around the globe...even from NASA and NOAA.

How do 'your' scientists explain 15 years of flat temps?

You should dig deeper into this 'religion'

When you can explain why NASA, NOAA and countless agencies and organizations around the globe have to falsify data (you refused to address or answer my questions), I'll consider your red herring.

If Climate Change (which used to be Global Warming before the weather didn't cooperate with it, which was prior to that the "Impending Ice Age") is real, why are GOVERNMENTAL organizations falsifying data? Hmmm?

Since you seem to love acting as a lemming and bowing at the corporate altar of the Religion of Climate Change, why don't you similarly point us to the billions of corrupt dollars flowing in from endless corporate sources to fund this Religion and the falsification of data? The amount of money to be made off of The Impending Ice Age/Global Warming/Climate Chage is beyond comprehension and there is a massive global struggle to secure those dollars.

This ought to be interesting.
 
I'm curious what has to happen for you to believe in climate change as a result of fossil fuel usage? What evidence do you really want? Who could possibly provide it that you wouldn't be skeptical of?
 
This ought to be interesting.
Here's the deal Tim. I don't give two ***** you - and others - are climate change deniers. If anything, it's puzzling, mesmerizing, confusing to me that there are people like you out there. There's something tragi-comedic about how you guys are so bellicose about not "buying in" to the realities of climate change and the effect it's having on our environment. It's like you're sitting in a house full of smoke and embers yet keep insisting it's built out of flame-retardant material and can never catch fire. To prove your point, you keep flicking lit matches around...all the while rubbing your belly and laughing uncontrollably. That's how I see the whole lot of climate change deniers. You feed your stance by reading far right sites and buy into the propaganda put out there by narrow interest groups funded by huge petro-oil corporations and far-right billionaire donors.

There's one planet, we all live on it. Maybe you think it's hilarious that we're destroying our forests, water and air. I don't find it at all amusing, for some strange reason.

When I see evidence of a tragedy, I'll acknowledge it. I don't respond well to Chicken Little cries.

ISIS is real. It's a growing tragedy. You can see it. There is evidence.

Yet this evidence you speak of in whatever they call it now changes, shifts, and doesn't hold up under scientific tests. Just 40 years ago, this community told us an Ice Age was coming. Then they told us earth was warming too quickly. Then, when global temps remained flat for 15 years, they instead changed the name to "climate change."

Why is that? If there was really something occurring, how...in the entire history of the world...could in such short order, we go from an impending Ice Age to Global Warming?

Chicken Little.

We've found Governmental agencies falsifying the data. Why?

Why have temperatures remained flat for 15 years despite your "scientists" all hawking that the world is warming?

Why did the polar caps not melt as Al Gore predicted they would have by this very year?

There's no fact yet to convince me and the millions like me that this is and has been anything but speculation. The science so far is anything but.

But this is something I know. Climate Change/AGW/Ice Ages represent unlimited billions in money for the associated governments and corporations. The taxes countries want to levy (if people buy into the religion) are infinite. And lots of governments and politicians and businessmen stand to make unlimited bucketloads. They want AGW badly.

Finally, if it were real, the US trying to do something about it makes no difference to the world. Policies would have to be adopted globally, otherwise, we're just gonna be making a lot of people rich, the poor poorer, all at the expense of the average human being trying to make a living.
 
Faked - but accurate


Faked peer reviews prompt 64 retractions

A leading scientific publisher has retracted 64 articles in 10 journals, after an internal investigation discovered fabricated peer-review reports linked to the articles’ publication.

Berlin-based Springer announced the retractions in an 18 August statement. In May, Springer merged with parts of Macmillan Science and Education — which publishes Nature — to form the new company Springer Nature.

The cull comes after similar discoveries of ‘fake peer review’ by several other major publishers, including London-based BioMed Central, an arm of Springer, which began retracting 43 articles in March citing "reviews from fabricated reviewers"

http://www.nature.com/news/faked-peer-reviews-prompt-64-retractions-1.18202
 

Well done. The best part of the article:

No warming in 18 years, no category 3-5 hurricane hitting the USA in ten years, seas rising at barely six inches a century: computer models and hysteria are consistently contradicted by Real World experiences.

So how do White House, EPA, UN, EU, Big Green, Big Wind, liberal media, and even Google, GE and Defense Department officials justify their fixation on climate change as the greatest crisis facing humanity? How do they excuse saying government must control our energy system, our economy and nearly every aspect of our lives – deciding which jobs will be protected and which ones destroyed, even who will live and who will die – in the name of saving the planet? What drives their intense ideology?

The answer is simple. The Climate Crisis & Renewable Energy Industry has become a $1.5-trillion-a-year business! That’s equal to the annual economic activity generated by the entire US nonprofit sector, or all savings over the past ten years from consumers switching to generic drugs. By comparison, annual revenues for much-vilified Koch Industries are about $115 billion, for ExxonMobil around $365 billion.
 
Let me quote the greatest Republican we've ever had:

- There can be no effective control of corporations while their political activity remains. To put an end to it will be neither a short nor an easy task, but it can be done….It is necessary that laws should be passed to prohibit the use of corporate funds directly or indirectly for political purposes; it is still more necessary that such laws should be thoroughly enforced.

- The “greatest good for the greatest number” applies to the number within the womb of time, compared to which those now alive form but an insignificant fraction. Our duty to the whole, including the unborn generations, bids us restrain an unprincipled present-day minority from wasting the heritage of these unborn generations. The movement for the conservation of wild life and the larger movement for the conservation of all our natural resources are essentially democratic in spirit, purpose, and method.

- If in a given community unchecked popular rule means unlimited waste and destruction of the natural resources — soil, fertility, waterpower, forests, game, wild-life generally — which by right belong as much to subsequent generations as to the present generation, then it is sure proof that the present generation is not yet really fit for self-control, that it is not yet really fit to exercise the high and responsible privilege of a rule which shall be both by the people and for the people. The term “for the people” must always include the people unborn as well as the people now alive, or the democratic ideal is not realized.

- The conservation of natural resources is the fundamental problem. Unless we solve that problem it will avail us little to solve all others.

- The United States at this moment occupies a lamentable position as being perhaps the chief offender among civilized nations in permitting the destruction and pollution of nature. Our whole modern civilization is at fault in the matter. But we in America are probably most at fault … Here in the United States we turn our rivers and streams into sewers and dumping-grounds, we pollute the air, we destroy forests and exterminate fishes, birds and mammals.

- To waste, to destroy, our natural resources, to skin and exhaust the land instead of using it so as to increase its usefulness, will result in undermining in the days of our children the very prosperity which we ought by right to hand down to them.

Let me quote the greatest Republican we've ever had, from 1789:

The Republican party didn't exist in 1789.
 
Part of the problem I have with the whole hysteria is that, when something happens that doesn't fit the models results or predictions, they don't look at the models to see what is missing, they try to find something, anything, regardless of how weak, to pass it off.

So, even IF you do that, seems like your models should have accounted for it and shown it.

I can't believe that all of the variables which could affect the global climate could possibly be accounted for, much less the various reactions and feedbacks for minor changes in one variable.

Models are only as good as their input. When you have as many variables you must have (again, I don't think they could have them all, or even all of the most important ones) you are using some models to come up with the variables related to each variable. Estimates are used to estimate something else. Adds more potential for error.

You can take any number of points and come up with a formula to match those points, exactly. That formula is, likely, meaningless for projections of any other points.

Theodeore Roosevelt. A leader of the Republican Party, he was a leading force of the Progressive Era. October 27, 1858 – January 6, 1919

You are correct, the date of those quotes would be around the early 1900's, my bad.

I guess, if I were a Republican,what a Republican said might matter. As it is, I'd say the identification of Teddy as a Progressive is more telling than identifying him as a Republican.

By today's standards TR would have to run as a Democrat. Which is fine.

Was that the period when the Dems stopped supporting slavery in the south and the Repubs began to keep them down?
 
Tibs, you conflate pollution - which literally no sentient being approves - with "climate change" due to CO2 emissions. Those two are as different as apples and lunar rocks.

Specifically, CO2 is not a pollutant. It is a natural byproduct of respiration, vegetation processes, ocean processes, and the release of economic, efficient stored energy in fossil fuels. The VAST majority of CO2 emissions are natural, and only a very small percentage of man-made emissions come from oil use:

Nobel Prize Winning Physicist Tells Obama – “You’re Wrong On Climate Change, Just Leave It Alone”

This well-educated scientist, who is not part of the grant-addicted “bought and paid for” UN cabal which provides the propaganda for their power expanding claims, ridiculed the Obama declaration. He asked rhetorically, “The biggest problem Obama faces is climate change? How can he say that?” He said, “I say this to Obama: ‘Excuse me, Mr. President, but you’re wrong.’ He is dead wrong.”

In his remarks, Giaever pointed out, “Global warming really has become a new religion. Because you cannot discuss it; It’s not proper. It is like the Catholic Church. The facts are that in the last 100 years we have measured the temperatures it has gone up .8 degrees and everything in the world has gotten better.”
 
Global Cooling Alert!


Obama calls for more icebreakers

President Obama’s urgent call to construct a new fleet of heavy Coast Guard icebreakers to monitor the contested Arctic is belied by his recent budgets that slashed funding for even one new ship

Officials say the U.S. needs to keep pace in the face of an increasingly serious challenge by Russia, which is making new territorial claims on the Arctic.

But even by the White House’s own internal projections, one new ship would not enter service for another decade, not in time to take over for the nation’s only remaining heavy ice breaker now in its last years of use.

By next decade the U.S. will have no heavy ice breaker, while expansion-minded Russia, with a considerably larger Arctic border, owns six nuclear-powered ice breakers — four of which are operational and 40 overall.

B b b but it's all supposed to be ice-free now, AlGore said so....

'The North Polar ice cap is falling off a cliff,' he said. 'It could be completely gone in summer in as little as seven years. Seven years from now.' Al Gore (2007)

Bomma knows He just has to say He's going to do something and everyone will believe Him.
 

Actual, real data (facts) I find more interesting than the denial of denial article:

trend:2015


Look, I understand that beginning the trend line in 1998 is going to skew the results since 1998 was so freaking hot, but could we please just goddamn acknowledge that since 1998, a span of 17 years, temperatures have actually declined?? The global warmers lose credibility by denying facts.
