The concept that the Earth will only heat up or cool off...if humans are involved....is the silliest notion that anyone could ever put up on a board and try to explain to an audience.

These dimwits should be more worried about the fact that the sun is not infinite in nature....and will one day...burn-out.

This issue is moot anyway.

There is no money for any remedies, its laughable how they continue to pile on economic burdens.

When the economy comes crashing down, even the liberals will be more concerned about food than warming BS.

The comments on the NY Times piece seem to be running 50/50.

These global warming fruitcakes are dumber than a bag of hammers.

The only uncertainty about our warming world is how bad the changes will get, and how soon. What is most clear is that there is no time to waste. The costs of inaction are undeniable. The lines of scientific evidence grow only stronger and more numerous. And the window of time remaining to act is growing smaller: delay could mean that warming becomes “locked in.”

From: New York Times: A Republican Case for Climate Action (August 1, 2013)
________________________________________________

Climatologists are pessimistic that political leaders will take any positive action to compensate for the climatic change, or even to allay its effects. They concede that some of the more spectacular solutions proposed, such as melting the Arctic ice cap by covering it with black soot or diverting arctic rivers, might create problems far greater than those they solve... The longer the planners delay, the more difficult will they find it to cope with climatic change once the results become grim reality.

From: Newsweek: The Cooling World (April 28, 1975)

Any one who tells you that the only way to solve a problem is to send them more money is full of you-know-what.

There is no longer any credible scientific debate about the basic facts: our world continues to warm, with the last decade the hottest in modern records, and the deep ocean warming faster than the earth’s atmosphere. Sea level is rising. Arctic Sea ice is melting years faster than projected.

Wow. A whole pack of lies in the New York Times. How unusual.

The Navier Stokes equations describe fluid flow with changes in temperature and density. They are non-linear, chaotic, with sensitive dependence on initial conditions.

No finite set of past states is sufficient to make a non-trivial prediction of future states.

This has been known since the 1963 paper by Edward Lorenz
“Deterministic Nonperiodic Flow”.

To the extent that Anthropogenic Global Warming depends on predicting the future temperatures of the atmosphere in a distant future, to that extent it is a hoax.

Yes, the climate surrounding the Republicans is bad. We need to replace them with more efficient models.

Each time I see something like this, my first question is “name one Island that has disappeared from rising sea levels”
Just another asinine revenue opportunity and legalized theft activity

I just re-read "State of Fear" and it occurred to me: Michael Crichton was assassinated. He died too young.

In a really gripping fictional story, he wrote truth with footnoted sources to prove and expose that blatant fraud of environmentalist climate claims. Every American grade school kid should have State of Fear in required reading. And tell them: It's by the same guy who wrote "Jurassic Park."

The global warming fraud could only take hold over ignorant, passive saps. Like primitives who believed it when British explores with almanacs "called down" an eclipse of the sun. The mechanisms that move the earth are so far beyond us that we have only even existed for a nanosecond in relative time.

Climate records of 100 years, or even 500 years -- or even 50,000 years -- are so minute in the actual scale that it's ludicrous to even think our lifespans, or 500 of our lifespans, would be enough to detect a significant change. All you have to do is to look at the spikes in a graph chart and zero-in on a timespan of, say, 1,000 years (a speck on the chart), to see how insane it is to presume to even predict, let alone manipulate, climate and weather.

We can save the Earth in 100 years by lowering temps by 0.0001 degree for only $300 TRILLION.... is that too much to ask?

lolz

Surely, this is the warmists’ last gasp. They have dragged these political hacks out of retirement to coauthor (or cosign) an opinion piece saying we have to act NOW!

The panic which is setting in among the AGW crowd is palpable. Their grants are going to dry up. There has been no warming for more than 15 years despite increasing CO2. Western economies are burdened with huge debts, and a lot them are suffering with high unemployment. Politicians now have other priorities besides global warming. Public opinion polls are showing global warming to be of little interest to the public. The game is up. The joy ride has come to an end.

This opinion piece was probably ghost written by one of the AGW crowd. Someone with influence in the cocktail set in D.C. rounded up these old EPA heads and got them to sign their names to it. One thing for sure: being head of the EPA does not qualify you to speak on any scientific topic whatsoever. You got there for political reasons, you are a political animal, and your motives are always suspect.

That’s in there. Um, no it hasn’t really morons. At a snail’s pace at best.
