Global Warming doesn't exist, dumbasses!!!

[pissant]

It’s a socialist scheme for control, pure and simple.

[1curiousmind]

Must not have gotten the memo. It was never called “global warming” silly. But “climate change”.

[Puppage]

But climate is known to be variable -- a cold winter, or a few strung together doesn't mean the planet is cooling

But a few years of warming more than 8 years ago means that GW DOES exist?

Sorry, can't have it both ways.

If Al Gore had any integrity, he would return his Nobel prize.

If a scientist is “mystified” by empirical data, he’s not really speaking as a scientist.

["It is possible that a fraction of the most recent rapid warming since the 1970's was due to a free variation in climate," Isaac Held of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric...Suggesting that the warming might possibly slow down or even stagnate for a few years before rapid warming commences again."]

News Flash: Yes Virgina, the weather changes.

GW and CO2 as a pollutant; two flimflams.

"When the climate kicks back out of this state, we'll have explosive warming," Swanson said.

Ya got no evidence of that, bucko. And your climate models don't work neither. The hoax is over.

[mikelets456]

Global warming is true!! It gets warm in the summer months in both the Northern and Southern hemispheres...very odd. Right now it is warm in Brazil and I bet in July it will be hotter than heck in Houston....GUARANTEED!

Now can I have a trillion dollars?

Global Warming doesn't exist, dumbasses!!!

I agree but this exercise is not about the environment or the vanity of anthropogenic global warming. It is about establishing a new tax stream in cap and trade. The global warming scam is about money and government control and nothing else. Comrade Zero is simply using the useful idiot who believe this crap to gain even more power for the State.

This is a repeat of a previous reply.

I had a very interesting conversation with my brother over the weekend. Now, he’s a big California liberal, and always very ahead-of-the-curve on all things political. He always seems to know what is going to be happening next in progressive political circles.

We’ve gone at it hammer-and-tong over AGW over the years. He was always a true believer, and I have always been a skeptic, since the 1980s, when I was sitting around the Math Department at Berkeley talking about environmental models and how they could be massively powerful tools for manipulating public policy.

Anyway, my brother was going on about how he wants to buy a Chevy Volt when they come out, and how he thinks the plug-in hybrid will be a revolutionary product. I decided to needle him gently about how the Volt will actually have a larger carbon footprint than a conventional car of similar size if the electricity used to charge it comes from a coal-fired power plant.

He blithely replied that all that carbon stuff was nonsense, and he was really concerned about reducing our nation’s dependence on foreign oil. So if he could run his car off of domestic coal, he was all for that, because this would mean that we would not longer have to support military adventures around the World to secure oil supplies.

Well, I about dropped my beer. A averred that kicking terrorist butt was a good thing in and of itself, and let it go at that.

So, my big prediction is that the Left is going to give up on this AGW business by the end of the year. We are about to experience a “Two Legs Better” moment, where the narrative will suddenly change.

I think people are seeing the writing on the wall and beginning to back away slowly from AGW. They can only ignore the data for so long before the models must be abandoned.

I think the Russian data transcription “error” right before Election Day and the ice sensor “error” right before Inauguration are the last gasps.

MMGW is a conclusion hunting for premises.

Dear Liberal Scientist;
There is this giant ball of fusing helium nuclei hanging in the sky. Making helium release heat. When more helium nuclei fuse we get warmer. When less fuse we get colder. When it starts to fuse carbon we die.

Now if watch the big ball in the sky, and stop watching Al Gore (I know how liberals can get confused, he is also a giant ball of hot gas, but much less luminous) and you might get a clue about what is going on with the climate. /end rant.

[CedarDave]

These “scientists” are coming up with as many reasons to explain the current cold snap as medieval astronomers did to explain why Galileo’s telescope showed movement of the planets that couldn’t be explained with the earth being the center of the universe. The answer is the same as it was back then —the SUN!!

[SnakeDoctor]

>> Earth’s climate continues to confound scientists.

A concise 6-word summary of why nobody should’ve bought into “global warming” in the first place. Scientists haven’t a clue about how climate works, much less how the exhaust from my Jeep might affect it. The system is simply too complex for even the greatest human minds.

"sinetists mystified"

mmm hmm. that's because they don't know jack.

same reason as always.

assumptions built apon hypotheses built apon models.

no REAL science could behave like that, only POLITICAL science, where the main output is political/cultural manipulation, eg globaloney & evolution.

you'd never catch a real scientist in a field that MATTERS behaving like these bozos do.




(just because it's cool)

It is possible that a fraction of the most recent rapid warming since the 1970's was due to a free variation in climate," Isaac Held of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in Princeton, New Jersey wrote in an email to Discovery News. "Suggesting that the warming might possibly slow down or even stagnate for a few years before rapid warming commences again."

Absolutely amazing. What a religion GW must be, to cause "scientists" to throw out contrary data?

So, to recap...

Temps go up = Global Warming

Temps stay the same = Global Warming

Temps go down = Wait for Global Warming

[ari-freedom]

"Thirty years of greenhouse gas radiative forcing will still be there and then bang, the warming will return and be very aggressive."

[Brett66]

Cooling events since then had firm causes, like eruptions or large-magnitude La Ninas. This current cooling doesn't have one

Low sunspot activity, but that would mean that human activity has nothing to do with climate change.

Can't quite swallow that bitter pill, can ya?
