How to stop doubting and love the climate models

Another elitist lecture for us "scientific illiterates" and "deniers".

[crazyhorse691]

Reading the sage comments I stumbled upon this, “.Don’t use record cold temperatures for your bench mark...take a look at the shorter winter seasons and longer summers...these are a more accurate measure of climate change....”.

[rj45mis]

Hell, if you can’t bully us peons into believing this BS then try the approach of dazzling us with your incomprehensible babble and bloated verbiage.

[piytar]

So we should ignore winter snows starting in mid October, too, eh? These people are delusional.

[Venturer]

This guy speaks of consensus, when there is none.

For every scientist saying there is global warming , there is another saying there isnt.

This clown is only listening to the consensus he wants to hear and telling us we are stupid for listening to the opposite side.

And, Nov. 18, Al Gore, winner of the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize along with the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, will speak at Keller Auditorium as part of the Portland Arts and Lectures Series.

Nahhhh, doesn't impress me. They literally hand those awards out these days.

[onedoug]

Demonstrate it.

Beam me to Planet Gore !

This warming can only be explained when including human contributions to atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2 ).

Huh? Looks like an untested theory substituting for a conclusion.

[ClearCase_guy]

The global average surface temperature has increased by about 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit since 1850, with most of the increase since 1950. This warming can only be explained when including human contributions to atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2 ).

Absolutely ridiculous. The Little Ice Age ended in about 1850. Since then, temperatures have edged up -- what else would you expect after an Ice Age ends?

Temperatures were higher 1000 years ago than they are now. Claiming that "only" human contributions to atmospheric carbon dioxide can explain such changes is bald-faced lying.

Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools. Rom.1:22

[ConservativeWarrior]

What a moron. This guy's the poster child for over-educated boobs.

This warming can only be explained when including human contributions to atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2 ).

Even if we trusted your data sourcing, correlation does not equal causation. Your failure to comprehend earth's complex climate system is no reason to grasp at straws by employing selective data models.

Ever notice the only causes of climate change they can identifiy are those which can (supposedly) be influenced by human behavior? For example, solar activity has created proportional temperature changes on both earth and mars, but since the government can't legislate the sun's behavior, its influence is dismissed out of hand.

But what an arrogant fool to pick a “Dr Strangelove” title.

This warming can only be explained when including human contributions to atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2 ).

Propaganda masquerading as science. All this proves is that a PhD isn't worth much. Years of education and still no common sense.

I didn't read past the first paragraph, but skimmed to the bottom and saw this. No surprise. You will not find a more wretched hive of Commie scum and villainy in Portland.

[justa-hairyape]

What does love have to do with science ?

We are on the verge of one of the worse winters many of us have ever seen, and one of the scientists who could have predicted it, is instead talking about loving computer models and stopping global warming ? This is simply negligence.

[InterceptPoint]

It's been settled with a ringing "yes" among the scientific community.

STOP RIGHT HERE. No need to go on reading this article. This is the basic lie that has been repeated over and over and is now being taught in our schools. It is simply not true and we cannot allow it to go unchallenged. Real scientists know it's a scam. UN scientists will believe anything they are told as long as the grant money keeps flowing, and it only flows to the true believers who are willing to deny the scientific fact that global warming is NOT MAN MADE>

[thecabal]

Unfortunately, OregonLive has a devoted following of PDX libtard mouthbreathers eager to jump on anyone who does not worship the progressive orthodoxy.

[Frenchtown Dan]

“Apparently, we scientists have failed to explain to the entire public how we have come to understand the climate system”

Oh really? Juliann Fry is not a scientist, since she’s not looking at all of the data. I don’t care what her bloated credentials are. The earth is in a cooling trend, that’s been proven. Arctic Ice pack increased significantly this past year.

Co2 levels haven’t dropped, yet the world is cooling.

How do you explain that, wing-nut? Screw your models.
