I don't expect you to be taken seriously since you've reiterated over and over and over again that anybody who receives funding from Exxon is corrupt and has an agenda

And you receive funding from Exxon

So take your shit ass job the hell on out of here you bible thumping oil profiteer

OR MAYBE I SHOULD CALL YOU BOONETARD A BUNCH AND BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY LIKE YOU

i do challenge you to read this though http://www.spiked-online.com/index.php?/site/article/2819

Your lack of knowledge on this subject is so obvious, its painful for many others to deal with...this might get you started on the right path...probably not but you can only lead a horse to water

Hey everyone,

I have a job so worthless that I can make 100+ posts a day from work.

I like to make fun of people who actually contribute to society.

Yeah well when you run an entire IT department you tend to have internet access

But whats your great job? Making up new words by combining screennames with the word "retard"? Or perhaps to the death claiming "omg only oil interests deny global warming omg"

ALSO

100 != 21.5

BUT I GUESS YOU DONT MIND COMPLETELY EXAGGERATING STATS GIVEN YOUR STANCE ON CLIMATE CHANGE

what kind of job does a history major get anyway?

^it's an interesting window into the sacred scripture of the current envirowackos.

I know I'm not supposed to question the faith, but

Is there a model that explains why the CO2 concentration increase lags behind the temperature increase? Is it possible, in fact likely, that natural processes increase the CO2 as the SUN heats the earth more during times of increased sunspot activity? Further, when these computer models are run backwards can they reproduce past observations? I would demand that much if I was to trust a simulation.

The essential summary for ^^^that article for those that didn't read it is basically looking more specifically at some of the IPCC data instead of just taking it for the summaries they present...also another important aspect it touches on is how doubt is a necessary aspect of science and how the global warming debate has somehow become doubtless, completely negating the scientific method (like i've been saying in tww soap box for literally years) which makes the scientific scope of the situation political which is inherently much more biased than raw scientific data

good read though...it doesnt try to make any assumptions about if humans are or arent causing anything...it just points out some of the flaws in the current presentation of the subject which I feel have strongly skewed opinions of the matter in an insincere manner

Pointless, because either way we are releasing co2 and co2 aids to the greenhouse effect. Does it really matter to you if something natural is warming the earth if we are compoudning the warming at the same time? pointless point you just made.

if you take a look at the people opposing global warming, more often then not, oil companies are funding their reserach, when you can actually find a little bit of information about the person. here is an example of someone mentioned a couple times in this thread (from wikipedia).

Robert M. Carter

Carter's website states that his research "has been supported by grants from competitive public research agencies, especially the Australian Research Council (ARC)," and that he "receives no research funding [sic] from special interest organisations such as environmental groups, energy companies or government departments."; however, he has written articles on global warming for Tech Central Station, which received 63% of its income in 2003 from ExxonMobil.[4]

Is it those articles whose validity you are questioning?

Do you have any evidence what he wrote was false?

Should not a scholarly article written by the CEO of Exxon himself be argued on the facts, not just dismissed because he may be biased?

yes. that is why people get upset when someone publishes and article, and they don't report monetary contributors accurately (normally at the end of the report)

Quote :
"Do you have any evidence what he wrote was false?"


i would have to examine the articles, but they don't necessarily have to be false. they could just say that something else may contribute to global warming (e.g sunspots), thereby able to ignore the greenhouse gas issue completely. then you could say i have this journal article i wrote that says it's not greenhouse gases that causes global warming. it's pretty easy actually. and carter appears to do exactly that to discredit the claim of rising sea levels (see the link below for his 2004 publication)

if you know the conclusion you want to reach before you do a study, there is no point in doing the research. research should be used to find the truth about issues, not to instill validity in ideas that sidestep the real issue.

It does matter. If the effect we are having is miniscule or irellevant, spending money on reducing our effect is a waste of money when it could be better spent researching and reducing the other effects. That is, if C02 increase is consistantly caused by global warming and not the other way arround, the premise for humans causing global warming and C02 spikes with their output is wrong (or very flawed).

Which is why our policy makers need to adopt the Treetard Doctrine:

No proactive policy can be made until 1) we develop a time machine and 2) there are no dissenting opinions amongst bloggers.

so, why can't that be applied to the studies done by proponents of global warming as well? why is it only opponents of global warming who must be questioned?

Boone gets all his information on climate change from high school science teachers

nuff said

scratch that...not even high school science teachers would be ignorant enough to claim that any skeptic of catastrophic human induced climate change is merely some blogger

but he doesnt realize the inherent doubt needed for science since he can just take his HIStory books as fact

If you've been to public high school (especially in the triangle), you'll know that a good portion of science teachers are left leaning, to some degree. Most of them will feign neutrality, but usually it's not too hard to tell which side they're coming from.

It's a good thing you guys know me personally.

Otherwise you'd look pretty stupid for making assumptions about crap you know nothing about.


Oh wait... that's what you do every time you suggest that climate scientists don't know what they're talking about.


oh, and:

what was my position before? i mean i'd at least expect you to know your opponent's position when you're arguing with them...you did know i have always been agnostic on human induced climate change while you've always been completely convinced, right? you didnt think i was going around posting in threads that it was a myth or something, did you? you're not one of those people who thinks atheism and theism are the only two positions on religion are you?

oh yeah and its a good thing you know everyone else personally based on all your assumptions

I just wish policy makers would adopt the Boonetard Doctrine...complex policies should be hastily made while critics of the policy are silenced as being corrupt with evil motives

So.. I guess we fixed the problem.

"Proposed questions for Gore, which are circulating behind-the-scenes, have been obtained by the DRUDGE REPORT -- question that could lead Gore scrambling for answers!

Mr. Gore: You have said several times that we have 10 years to act to stave off global warming. Was that 10 years from the first time you said that or 10 years from now? We just wanted to get a firm date from you that we can hold you to.

Mr. Gore: How can you continue to claim that global warming on Earth is primarily caused by mankind when other planets (Mars, Jupiter and Pluto) with no confirmed life forms and certainly no man-made industrial greenhouse gas emissions also show signs of global warming? Wouldn’t it make more sense that the sun is responsible for warming since it is the common denominator?

Mr. Gore: Joseph Romm, the executive director for the Center for Energy and Climate Solutions, has said we must build 700 large nuclear plants to stave off climate change. Where do you stand on the need for nuclear energy?

Mr. Gore: Do you think the earth is significantly overpopulated and that is a major contributor to your view of climate change. (If yes, what do you think is a sustainable population for the planet?)

transcript from 3/14 debate 'global warming is not a crisis' (http://www.intelligencesquaredus.org/Event.aspx?Event=12):

http://www.intelligencesquaredus.org/TranscriptContainer/_GlobalWarming-edited%20version%20031407.pdf

long and no particularly new info, but some big names involved

interesting to me that michael crichton seemed to be mainly arguing that there are more critical things to be worrying about (poverty, disease), rather than refuting anthropogenic global warming

i think most people would agree that poverty is a more serious issue

starvation can kill you in less than "over the next century"

^I am so glad to not suffer the stress you must be under for actually believing such a thing.

^i'm not stressed at all because i live above sea level and in a country that is rich and doesn't rely on ice melt to get water. We also have all kinds of little neat tricks for farming so if it stop raining in the midwest we'll still be fine.

Too bad a bengali (or hundreds of millions of others) can't say the same.

^well fortunately those people don't live in Al Gore's imagination, they live in the real world so they'll be fine ( provided they are spared the actual real sources of human tragedy in that part of the globe ).

We don't even help countries fix tragedy now when things are good what makes you think we will help other when we are spending billions fixing our own coastline.

I think he was saying that global warming is a myth and that you're a stupid liberal.

Not that we'd help them.

it might have something to do with the fact that it's true.

is it true or have enough people just said it as to make people assume it must be true? how could we possibly know the "generosity" of countries throughout the history of the world?

basically it's an empty comment. how is he even measuring "generosity". it's a vague statement.

what counts as aid? does military aid count? food? how is food aid measured?
