Manmade climate change is the biggest criminal fraud in the history of science.
It is all lies.
Research Honest Reality.
Example: CO2 does not create heat.
It takes heat to break down carbon which then produces CO2.
CO2 is a lagging indicator.

No you don't. CO2 is a greenhouse gas and traps heat radiated from the Sun. Also, CO2 isn't the only thing to worry about, nor is global warming alone. How about toxic chemicals occuring in food sources in far greater quantities than millenia prior? Or the piles of hydrocarbon plastics that litter our countrysides and oceans, harming wildlife and being broken down into microscopic granules that then end up inside us from consuming seafoods? Fuck off with this bullshit, we've fucked this planet up thus far. The Anthropocene is a very real epoch.

In order to accurately measure the temperature of something, you'd need to measure the exact same atoms at the exact same place with the exact same measuring device.

Actually, Jim Hansen's models from 1988 were pretty spot on, enough to convince some conservative climate deniers to switch positions to the sane side. For context, deniers like to point to scenario A, which assumed exponential greenhouse emissions, as an example of climate alarmism, however as you can see the other two models fit observed warming trends pretty closely. Scenario C assumed a slowing of greenhouse emissions toward the 2000s, which actually happened, and it fits observations the closest.

I remember a climate change thread some months ago in which a denier demanded that we show him predictive models that had proven accurate.
someone posted a paper presenting a model, and a retrospective paper comparing the model's predictions to actual measurements from the interval studied.
the denier then insisted that one didn't count, since it wasn't really predicting the future since the retrospective paper was published after the interval of interest. we tried explaining to him that you can't test a prediction of something that's still in the future, but he didn't quite understand it...

As usual, climate alarmists caught in another lie. It's true that scenario C remains the most accurate climate model. However, Hansen defined scenario C as "a reduction in CO2 growth rates such that the annual growth rate is zero" That has simply not occurred.

The funny thing is that Hansen's study is probably the strongest evidence against anthropogenic climate change. His model which, posited on the idea of no increase in emissions, has actually held despite an increase in emissions, suggesting a negative feedback mechanism is countering anthropogenic emissions.

This. Venus' atmosphere is opaque to visible light so less of the Sun's light reaches the surface than Earth (despite being closerto the Sun) but the surface temperature of Venus is 200°C. Why? Because Venus' atmosphere is chock full of GHGs which block outgoing longwave radiation.

No one is measuring the "temperature of the climate" for fuck's sake. That's an oxymoron. The climate is the weather over time and space and weather is the state of the atmosphere, which includes temperature. No one asks "what temperature is the weather?" If you can't even get the basic language about this subject correct then maybe just MAYBE you need to fucking pick up a textbook and learn something before opening your shitty mouth and dumping verbal excrement all over us.

>For example, if it rains, the raindrops will differ in temperature, the "air" around the raindrops will differ in temperature, the measuring device itself will differ in temperature. There's no objective starting point.
This is irrelevant. Temperature is the *average* kinetic energy of the molecules in a substance. One does not need to measure every molecule because a thermometer is constantly showing the average result of countless molecules transferring kinetic energy through it. These samples are then averaged over the entire globe to find the global temperature of the atmosphere.

How and by whom? It appears it's only "observable" and "testable" using satellites and graphs and "semi-empirical" computer models. It's certainly not repeatable because the variables cannot be controlled (we don't even know all the variables that make up this pseudo-scientific word called "climate"). The only people who can supposedly measure such a thing are all government scientists.

The climate is directly observed in a multitude of ways, such as measuring the generative with a thermometer. The theories of climatology are then tested by seeing how well they match observations. Is the same as any other science.

>It's certainly not repeatable because the variables cannot be controlled
Repeatability means that the same result occurs in multiple tests, it does not require variables to be controlled. For example, there are different temperature records with different methods that can be compared to each other for agreement.

>we don't even know all the variables that make up this pseudo-scientific word called "climate"
We understand the major factors that affect the climate, which is why we have been able to predict global surface temperature for several decades:

Pressure = Force / Area

Pressure = 101,325 Pa

Assume Earth is a perfect sphere with radius 6371 km. Area of Earth = 4pi*6371000^2 m^2 = 5.1 * 10^14 m^2

Force = Pressure * Area

Force = (101,325 Pa * 5.1 * 10^14 m^2) = 5.17 * 10^19 N

Force = mass * gravity

mass = Force / gravity

mass = 5.17 * 10^19 N / 9.8 m/s^2 = 5.27 * 10^18 kg = 5.27 * 10^21 g

molar mass of air is around 29 g/mol

(5.27 * 10^21 g) * (1 mole / 29 grams) * (6.02214179*10^23 molecules/mole) = 1.09 * 10^44 molecules

No one really knows, it's just energy like everything else that's experienced differently by our senses.

You see, this is the problem. This kind of "science" can only be done by government "scientists", because they are the ones who have access to the technology to even measure this nonsense.

Ultimately no physical object can be measured objectively in the truest meaning of the word because energy is constantly changing.

But at least we have access to rulers and rudimentary thermometers. I guarantee you don't have access to a satellite (there's no evidence they actually exist for a start, but never mind that for now), but our trusty government does! Science has become your religion and you don't even know it.

So you're basically admitting that there is no set of evidence, dataset, or argument that can convince you that climate change is real, or even the concept of climate is real. You dont even believe temperature measurements from satellites and weather stations, despite the network of these stations are run by different organizations (NOAA, HADCru, Berkeley Earth, etc)

That is the definition of being dogmatic

What is a specific scientific discipline that you approve of?

>the moment you try and describe what's going on at a deeper level, it becomes metaphysics, not science
This betrays a deep misunderstanding about what science and modelling is. Metaphysics is by definition not testable. Einstein, 100 fucking years ago, produced the theory that predicts gravitational waves. And guess what? We detected them for the first time through LIGO just recently. Metaphysics does not produce testable predictions. General relativity does produce testable predictions. Therefore it is NOT metaphysics.

If you have further questions, I'd recommend taking a philosophy of science course at a local university. They get these types of questions all the time and are better equipped to answer them than I.

The issue here is that the total warming isn't directly proportional to the forcing from increased CO2 alone. There are a variety of feedbacks (from melting ice to ocean acidification to changes in atmospheric and oceanic circulation) that become significant once warming reaches a certain point, causing much more warming to result.

given the current evidence, mainstream theories of climate change being wrong is INCREDIBLY unlikely, on par with the odds that evolution by natural selection isn't real.

Sensitivity is not the same as distance, once something is far enough away you won't see it. Just watch a plane fly past at night, it will disappear pretty quickly and they are far closer to us than the ISS supposedly is. Use some common sense.

The heliocentric model is like a parody of pseudo-science. Earth is spinning 1000mph, while orbiting the sun at 60,000+mph, and the sun is orbiting the galaxy at 500,000+mph.

Then you use actual observation and look at the stars, there is zero evidence of these convoluted movements happening. "Oh it's because they're really far away that we don't notice the movements" - the parallax argument can only apply to objects moving from side to side in parallel directions, the heliocentric model has vastly more movements happening at the same time than that.

Just a complete brainlet without the ounce of skepticism towards your own cognitive biases that aren't based in any rationality or logic.

Because the ISS orbits the earth at a height of 254 miles or so. If you do the math (again, this is 8th/9th grade geometry) you find that the Earth spans ~140° from the ISS.

A meaningless platitude, and false into the bargain. People believe great lies because they are comforting and easy to understand. The truth is frequently harsh, complicated, and counterintuitive.

That's how science works, moron. There is no field of science that doesn't have falsified theories.

Can't find much on Stephen, but Wally is part of many "fellowships" and has been awarded the 'National Medal of Science' which is awarded by the President. You only get that if you've helped the government out. Look at the medal attached, it's a man who has a physical object in one hand, but is writing an equation (in sand) with the other in a subservient manner.

What the fuck are you talking about? I'm talking about the uncertainty range in climate sensitivity.

>t. IPCC
t. the scientific evidence

>That's how astrology works too, buddy, just ignore whatever doesn't fit and pick the winners.
That would be results, not theories, you moron. Only the theories that produce correct results and no incorrect results remain. But thank you for showing you have no idea what Popper was advocating.

>It's shit you dense fuck, it's nowhere near to having a predictive power.
Then how have we been successfully predicting surface temps for decades? Because you're full of shit, that's why.

>I want bitcoin to grow. I can literally cherry pick enough faggots from Twitter to get enough uncertainty to prove me right in a year. Multiply that by thousands and I bet you'll find one that fits the bill perfectly.
These are all the standard models of the IPCC, they aren't cherrypicked. You are such a pathetic failure.

>>no argument against replicability or predictive power
Go back to school and learn how to read.

>Seriously, all 4chan memes aside, do you seriously believe that academic fraud that's prevalent in every science discipline that can't be outright proven wrong (ie maths and maybe theoretical physics) is absent in cs?
What academic fraud??? You simply assume it exists because you want it to exist. Admit it, you lied.

>Given the state of how grants are given out, do you really believe that no fudging happens in the most politically polarizing science ever? Nothing ever gets a bit fudged to further the perceived truth and also to get news and grant worthy, thus published?
So now you've moved the goalposts from "climate science is wrong because it has a significant amount of junk studies" to "it must have happened at least once." Problem is, you can't even provide an example of it happening even once, liar.

>if you go do that experiment with a stick, you'll see this is false. when you've got an extremely foreshortened object towards the sides of the FOV, you get that effect.

The effect is only as dramatic as that with a fish eyed lens.

>You can experimentally confirm the existence of atoms with a glass of water, some salt, and a sunny windowsill. Bonus points for using a voltmeter as well.

Is that all it takes to convince you?

>Yes, you dickhead. The far edge of the earth is in deep shadow, so you can't SEE it, so it looks like a sliver has been lopped off of it in the photo. Are you three years old?

What's casting the "shadow"? And why is the earth pointed?

They can't see all of earth? They can certainly see more than they're showing can't they? Just as the attached pic shows. Looks like a fish eye lens doesn't it...

>Is that all it takes to convince you?
Simple observations can be quite useful if you have a knowledge-base to put them in context. For instance, if someone hit their head yesterday and today they have big bruises under their ears, I know they have a basilar skull fracture. That's all it takes to convince me, because that's all it takes to know.
>What's casting the "shadow"? And why is the earth pointed?
The earth, and it's not.
Just do the experiment I described to you, it's simpler than trying to dumb this down to a level you'll understand.

The difference is that skulls and bruising aren't theoretical, whereas atoms are.

>The earth, and it's not.

The experiment doesn't prove anything about theoretical atoms, just how those physical materials involved in the experiment react under those conditions, "atoms" don't have to have anything to do with it.

Why would they use a wide-angled or fish-eyed lens in the first place? To distort the image? NASA have much to gain by lying to you, and they can get away with doing it badly because you just can't fathom they'd have any ulterior motive.

There's one experiment that I know that fairly well can demonstrate some of the effects of Carbon Dioxide that are understood well by the layman. Take the exercise of blowing bubbles into water, and measuring the change in pH. As you blow more carbon dioxide into the water, the pH is lowered, becoming more acidic. This is the macroscopic effect of the creation of carbonic acid, the result of an equilibrium between CO2 and H2O.

Expand this experiment to a system where you're not blowing the CO2 in, but rather you have a box with water and a mix of carbon dioxide, oxygen, and the other gasses latently present in the air. It becomes apparent then, that it doesn't require blowing into the water, this equilibrium still occurs, and the more CO2 you add, the more it shifts towards carbonic acid.

Now is the part where the layman might get lost. Given the trillions of pounds of carbon that are put into the atmosphere yearly by the U.S. alone (15.1 trillion pounds in 2014), the amount of carbon in the atmosphere slowly builds, and isn't taken out by the means it normally does. The ocean and the atmosphere undergo the same kind of equilibrium of carbonic acid, with the acidity of the ocean increasing with CO2 levels. Animals that require calcium carbonate shells, like mollusks, end up dying out en masse, which has a huge effect on the population of those who prey on mollusks, and so on down the line- this is seen almost immediately with how poorly the fishing industry has been doing in many areas.

This is, by and large, an issue of increased rate being a problem. Over time, there will be just a shift in the ecosystem, with species like algae becoming more abundant, taking CO2 out of the atmosphere and normalizing levels, but that's not possible if levels that break the natural buffers continue to exist of carbon emissions.
