The probability of humans producing global warming , anywhere in the universe from supposed polluting processes, with even hundreds of years to do it, is as reasonable as getting a fully operational Boeing 747 jumbo jet from a tornado going through a junkyard.

IT WOULD NOT HAPPEN.

And also, you DON'T really trust in "science". Not real empirical actual true "science" anyway. You trust in MYTH AND SPECULATION AND DISTORTION masquerading dishonestly as "science". You're placing fags with a penchant for cherry picking "evidence", up on a pedestal.

Pricks like you think of "science" as a definite body of knowledge—as if it were a place whose boundary and geography were well known and easily verified. In fact, it is a province whose vast unknown territories are filled in only a little at a time.

Could current changes be part of a natural cycle? Well, no natural cause has been identified. There is no climatological theory in which CO2 does not drive temperature. And natural cycle precedents do not exhibit the same extreme changes we're now witnessing.

Is this graph a candidate for explaining today's warming? A naive reading of this cycle indicates we should be experiencing a cooling trend now -- and indeed we were gradually cooling over the length of the pre-industrial Holocene, around .5C averaged over 8,000 years.

Not only is the direction of the change wrong, but compare the speed of those fluctuations to today's changes. Leaving aside the descents into glaciation, which were much more gradual, the sudden (geologically speaking) jumps up in temperature every ~100,000 years represent a rate of change roughly ten times slower what we are currently witnessing.

Environmentalism has many holes and flaws. much of man-made global warming is a rag hypothesis and run-away conjecture. That my friend, is NOT "science." There's also much cover-up and suppression involved. And that is also against true honest "science." With the appalling gaps and problems in the climate data that get conveniently ignored or rationalized away, and with the severe problems with the complex climate code, man made climate change, is NOT actual observable "fact" anywhere.


Sloppy thinking and hasty conclusions are pervasive with environmentalists.

Seeing things in the climate record that are simply not there, and also making hasty conclusions when they see an unfamiliar statistic or observation.

Constantly confusing "climate change" with "man-made climate change".


Force-fitting things in a tortured, biased, and reckless way. That's NOT true empirical or honest "science." But is just bending observations to fit in with pre-conceptions because of agendas.

>> No.4065821

We're adding CO2 to the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels.

The carbon cycle was previously very balanced, now it isn't.

Levels of CO2 are rising in the atmosphere.

CO2 is a greenhouse gas. It causes the atmosphere to retain heat.

We are also darkening the atmosphere via burning coal, and our release of CO2 and other chemicals has complex effects on many natural atmospheric systems.

The release of CO2 can create negative feedback loops that warm the earth ever more quickly-see the melting of Arctic sea ice and the increased absorption of heat by the water due to its low albedo.

This warming can have negative repercussions in climactic patterns, disrupting agriculture and ecosystems, and could result in dramatic increases in sea level over the next century that transform our coastlines.

Where in this well-supported chain do you find fault? Because to me, when you lay it out, it seems totally self-evident.

Look. See that? That's the level of CO2 over the last several decades, increasing, as global temperatures simultaneously increased. And this rise is concurrent with increases in the amount of CO2 being added to the atmosphere by the human species.

Are the current levels and production overstated? Probably.

Although being completely honest and admitting we won't destroy all life for 500 years instead of 20 years means we probably won't be as environmentally cautious as we should. The credibility of science is what's really at stake though.

But that's stupid as fuck-the quotes are out of context, by putting them into a context that can in most of these cases be found in the emails themselves, the seeming negative implications vanish.

Example-
"“We don’t really want the bullshit and optimistic stuff that Michael has written [...] We’ll have to cut out some of his stuff."

What has been cut out of this quote is the explanation that we wanted the science to reflect the limits of scientific knowledge ‘warts and all’: “We don’t really want the bullshit and optimistic stuff that Michael has written that sounds as though it could have been written by a coral person 25 years ago. We’ll have to cut out some of his stuff. What we want is good honest stuff, warts and all, dubious dating, interpretation marginally better etc."

Incidentally, this refers to Michael Schulz and not Michael Mann as bloggers appear to believe. "

see? Changes the whole import of the statement.

""I too don’t see why the schemes should be symmetrical. The temperature ones certainly will not as we’re choosing the periods to show the warming."

The full email exchange reveals that we were choosing colours for a chart covering periods that showed warming. The periods chosen were 1901 to 2005 (the long record) and 1979 to 2005 (the satellite record)."

The e-mails back this up-they're not up to ANYTHING.

The thing is, I've already posted evidence. Posted rebuttals. Posted logical arguments. So I've already proven my legitimacy.

All you've come up with, all thread, are insults, ad-homs, "I don't wanna believe it so it's not true" and similar shit.

And it IS shit. If you use that kind of bs in school, your grades must be the worst ever.

So it's reached the point where, instead of expending any more energy trying to get the stupid horse to drink (I already led it to the through, as said), I'm just going to relax and enjoy kicking it in the nuts.

We already have a big long thread about this:

>>4062306

And seriously, why are we trusting a hacker who nobody knows the identity of? Let's take a look at this behaviour:

1. He stole 10 years worth of e-mails from the UEA server, hacked the RealClimate website, and could be linked to the break-in at Andrew Weaver's office done by persons disguised as computer technicians

2. Of these e-mails, he chose to release only 1,000 of them, despite there being 220,000 e-mails total. If he's interested in the truth, why didn't he release all of them at once?

3. Look at the timing of each e-mail release. The first 1000 were released in advance of the Copenhagen Conference for maximum political impact. Now that there's another climate conference approaching, he decides to release another set. Doesn't it make sense that his goal is to smear scientists for political reasons, rather than being a spotless little angel?

And just as an aside, the police only spent £5,649.09 on investigating the hack. £80.05 of that spent in the last 6 months.

Why not? The e-mails don't show anything criminal happening. So why are we assuming that the scientists are guilty until proven innocent?

Also, the scientists are right about the science. The CRU's temperature data is actually lowballing temperature trends compared to NASA, NOAA, the Japanese data, European reanalysis, and now even the skeptic-run BEST project. The "hockey stick" graph has been corroborated by two dozen independent studies. None of the scientists writing those e-mails have anything to do with determining whether global warming is caused by man, which is now proven beyond a shadow of a doubt.

If these scientists were committing fraud, why would they bother faking their results to look like what everyone else is doing? If they were trying to exaggerate global warming, why did they underestimate the trends?

lolol, that's literally the same fail argument that Christians use to "prove" evolution untrue, and the use of that "argument" shows what kind of critical thinker you are. Hey OP, maybe God is causing global warming, to see if mankind can rise to the challenge, or to bring about the end of days. Ever think of that one? lolol

The problem is there's no evidence of anything. Actions are more important than words. What's the absolute worst thing that the scientists have been shown to have DONE? Avoiding frivolous and vexatious FOIA requests? Privately badmouthing people who annoy them? Criticizing each others' results like scientists are supposed to do? Gee what a scandal

The first 1000 e-mails released in 2009 were analyzed by 9 separate investigations: one from UEA, two from Penn State, two from the UK House of Commons Science and Technology Committee, the Independent Climate Change E-mail Inquiry review, the EPA, the NSF and now even the Inspector-General of the US Department of Commerce (not exactly friendly to climate scientists). NONE of them found the scientists guilty of fraud or scientific malpractice. Are we to believe that all these organizations are in on the conspiracy?

I don't want to get too involved in this, but this particular argument is quite weak. It assumes that every country, whose scientists corroborate the "climate hoax", has the exact same political sensibilities, and that's just wrong. There are many countries, especially in the EU, where climate change denial is rare, but not necessarily a taboo.
