There is no consensus that global warming is a man-made phenomenon that requires "urgent" action. One of the most common talking points used by global warming alarmists is that 97 percent of scientists agree that it's man-made and unless action is taken, armageddon will ensue. This is patently false, as Joseph Bast and Dr. Roy Spencer explain in The Wall Street Journal, this number comes from three sources and they're all riddled with errors

http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052702303480304579578462813553136

>In 2009, a University of Illinois student conducted a two-question survey for her master's thesis that asked respondents if "global temperatures have risen and that humans are a significant contributing factor." Skeptics and proponents typically answer yes to both questions, so unsurprisingly 97 percent said yes. Additionally, only 79 scientists responded to the survey.

>A student at Stanford found in 2010 that 97 percent or 98 percent of "the most prolific climate change writers" believed that "anthropogenic greenhouse gases have been responsible for 'most' of the 'unequivocal' warming." No mention on how serious the problem was, and he only found the views of 200 researchers when the number of climate change researchers are in the "thousands."

>Blogger John Cook determined in 2013 that 97 percent of "abstracts of peer-reviewed papers" believed that "human activity is responsible for some warming," but a more exhaustive study of Cook's work determined that only 0.3 percent of the 11,944 papers reviewed by Cook concluded that "human activity is causing most of the current warming."

The PBL Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency conducted a survey in 2015 that found that only 43 percent of scientists believe in man-made climate change, which is far from the 97 consensus that leftists like to spout.

There are multiple examples of it, here's a couple:

>The Washington Times reported in 2009: "Under pressure in 2007, NASA recalculated its data and found that 1934, not 1998, was the hottest year in its records for the contiguous 48 states. NASA later changed that data again, and now 1998 and 2006 are tied for first, with 1934 slightly cooler."

>Since this occurred at around the same time as the Climategate scandal, Chris Horner of the Competitive Enterprise Institute filed a lawsuit to get NASA to release their relevant data sets on this issue and was able to expose emails from NASA that revealed a disturbing fact: the agency admitted "that its own climate findings were inferior to those maintained by both the University of East Anglia's Climatic Research Unit," reported Fox News in 2010 – meaning NASA climate change data sets were less accurate than the organization embattled with manipulating data sets.

>NASA declared 2014 to be the hottest year on record – despite the fact that they were only 38 percent sure about it. The latter fact was left out of their press release at the time, as well as the fact that 2014 was supposedly hotter than the previous hottest year, 2010, by 0.02C – well within the margin of error of 0.1C that scientists tend to adhere by. The Washington Post attempted to spin in favor of NASA by arguing that NASA simply said that 2014 was the most likely hottest year on record – but their press release unequivocally stated that "2014 was the warmest year on record" and leaving out the aforementioned key facts makes such a declaration seem misleading, as it's clearly not a guarantee that 2014 was even likely the hottest year on record.

On the contrary, the threat of global warming is subtle, it requires statistics literacy to comprehend and sophisticated tests to even detect, and so its hard to rally people around it (compare it to something more popular like black lives matter).

Even if what the climate scientists said was reliable (and no, this kind of model prediction of a singular, complex system is not reliable), the policy recommendations behind the warmist agenda make no sense.

For instance, the continental plates are made of granite, that's most of the land surface of the Earth, many miles deep. On average, granite is about 10% light metal oxides which will form carbonate minerals if exposed to water and air. This is the main way that granite on the surface chemically weathers. The process can be vastly accelerated by breaking up granite to increase the surface area.

Removing the excess CO2 from the atmosphere using this inexhaustible chemical resource is far more economical than foregoing the energy from burning carbon fuels, and doesn't require total global control of industry, which is a political impossibility.

Anyone pushing "reduce carbon emissions" is either scientifically illiterate or has a sociopolitical agenda to push.

Anyway, most people aren't in science to get rich, it's for the prestige. They grew up believing that science is the most important thing, the one thing that truly advances humanity, and that scientists are the best people. Not being able to be called a scientist is like death to them. They'll do work they're not interested in, that doesn't seem to be any good, for low pay, with no prospect of advancement, just to be able to say they're professional scientists and to be friends with the other professional scientists. They know that an oversupply of people like them are being raised constantly by the educational system, and there's no way back in anymore if you ever stray from the path or get cast out.

They are extremely sensitive to the prospect of losing their place. They'll commit horrible ethical violations to avoid it.

First of all: there's no indication that it's necessary, or that if it will become necessary that there's any rush to do it now. The idea that we have to act now is part of the religion that holds that there are no options but cutting emissions. Rational people who look at ways of reversing the effects don't see it as a one-way street we have to stop going down ASAP.

Secondly: there's no clear way to make billions at it, certainly not just for one person who sees how it's feasible. If it's necessary, then it's a global benefit for a local expense. Unlike the emission-reduction agenda, it is at most a jobs program, not an excuse to grab vast global power.

Not sexist, xenophobic, or horrible to control the borders. It's a basic function of government.

Not what he said at all. What he said was that Mexican rapists and murderers were taking advantage of the open border to enter America illegally. Which is 100% true and a serious problem. America has enough home-grown criminals without letting Mexico's in.

All countries have criminals, and Mexico has a particularly serious organized crime problem. Crossing a border illegally is itself a crime, and one which offers many opportunities for criminal profit. It's more attractive and less frightening to career or opportunistic criminals than to people who only want to commit this one illegal act and otherwise stay within the law.

Not only is the violent crime rate in Mexico higher than that in America, but violent criminals are a higher proportion among Mexican illegal aliens in America than the general Mexican population.

Therefore, failing to guard the border lets in rapists and murderers, who rape and murder Americans. This isn't even debatable. It's obviously true.

None of the rest of your examples are any more valid. They're all strawman arguments.

The evidence is all out in the open, and only the Democrats' control and abuse of the executive branch prevented her prosecution.

Just about all of the everyday, low-level people with security clearances who heard about her handling of classified information said, "If I had done that, I'd be in a federal prison cell."

There were concerns about the role of fossil fuels causing climate change since the 1950s, and atmospheric science, along with the Earth sciences really began to mature and have a lot of research during the 1960s and 1970s.

Again, you offer nothing but hyperbole and conjecture. You present no real arguments aside from "le maymay, le science is a religion!" You can repeat your nonsense over and over again and it does not change the facts, it does not change the evidence for a scientific idea. You're the equivalent of the Catholic church telling Gallileo that he couldn't think a certain way because their religious Dogma said otherwise. Ironically, it's the deniers themselves that think themselves to be Gallileo, going up against a religious institution, when in fact Gallileo was the scientific body on astronomy of his time, and it was the church that had no basis in scientific thought or process.

Your sole argument is that "The fossil fuel industry is perfect! It does nothing wrong and all our civilization is based on it! We can't do anything anyways!" I don't think there's anyone that believes the fossil fuel industry will disappear overnight, or we can cease all emissions very rapidly. Weaning ourselves off fossil fuels is the solution, investing in alternate energies, whether it's hydro, solar wind or yes, NUCLEAR, because not everyone who understands the evidence for AGW is an environmentalist you see. Nuclear is an incredibly viable solution if not for the massive amounts of regulation, and industry opposition from fossil fuel interests. Guess what, the Oil Industry doesn't want their monopoly on energy taken away, this is another reason why they spread propaganda that nothing can do better than fossil fuels, or that our entire civilization is completely dependent on them with no other solutions.

Nigger, it was during the debates. More than once. I also like how you're backtracking on boldly claiming he never said something, by saying you weren't listening to his fucking presidential debates. You can't claim being sure of something if you don't even bother doing a second of research.

Do you honestly prefer that the chief executive should use his authority to prevent the prosecution of any crimes committed by his political opponents?

Where does that end? Should Trump's government just not prosecute any Democrats, regardless of what crimes they commit?

The thing here is, Trump was talking about prosecuting a known criminal, who should already have been in prison but was being protected by the current administration. And Democrats are outraged. But when the Obama administration was caught TARGETTING conservative organizations, for no other reason than their political affiliation, for IRS harassment, Democrats just whistle and look innocent.

What we see over and over again is that liberals throw these accusations of violating principles without actually caring about or understanding the principles at all. They just know conservatives care about them, so they're a weapon to divide and conquer.

Wanting to jail one's political opponent *sounds like* a violation of principle, or it can be made to sound like one, because of the implication that it's for the reason that they're one's political opponent. But when there is open and notorious evidence that this person has committed offenses which warrant jailing, it would be a violation of principle *not to* jail them.

It's like liberal kids screaming, "that's racist!" "that's sexist!" "that's rape!" at everything. They don't really know what it means. They don't care what it means. They just know it's a weapon, they know it gets a certain reaction, and that's powerful. So they grab for that power, to try and get whatever they want, deserved or not.

>Trump is rich, that makes him automatically corrupt!
>(disregard the wealth of all Democratic candidates)
The people who voted for Trump understood he was rich when they voted for him, and also understood that rich people today normally have internationally-diversified investments, and that real estate magnates have all sorts of tenants.

Of course there are conflicts of interest, but there are always conflicts of interest. Everyone cares about things other than their job. Millions in an old billionaire's fortune isn't a *serious* conflict of interest. It's not like he can't afford to lose it, and his children are already rich and successful even if they inherit nothing from him. Having already made a monstrous fortune and done the best he could for his family, the best thing he can do now for his rich, successful children is to leave them with an unsullied name and a stable, peaceful country to live and work in, not risk making their lives shameful or dangerous just so he can leave them more money. His interests are therefore quite well aligned with those of the American people.

There's a huge difference between Hillary Clinton getting money she needed for her campaign from the Saudis specifically for this purpose, and Trump having a fraction of a percent of his diversified portfolio in Saudi Arabia.

That's not how metanalysis is done (not surprising, since this is a blog, not a peer reviewed study).

I'll summarize for the benefit of other 4chan dwellers:
There was a scientific debate in the 70's about global cooling or warming.
Warming effect from comes from co2, cooling from aerosol particulates. Both sides knew this, and had know it for a long while.
By the late 70's the preponderance of evidence showed that the warming effect would overwhelm. This is clear from the sources the blog itself uses

Isn't it ironic however that all the people like yourself, that claim that there is no consensus on climate change, or claim that a consensus doesn't matter, always default to global cooling, where you claim there was a "consensus" therefore it was correct?

Analysis of warming since 1881 shows most of the increase in global temperature happened before 1919 before the more recent sharp rise in the amount [of pollution by so-called greenhouse gases. The debate over global warming came during the American Geophysical Union's fall meeting. The greenhouse effect theory is that carbon dioxide and other gases emitted by industrial and automobile fuel burning is accumulating in Earth's atmosphere, acting like the glass of a greenhouse to trap heat from sunlight. Computer models by Hansen and others suggest that by the middle of the next century, Earth's average temperature may rise 4 to 9 degrees Fahrenheit, possibly altering storm patterns, triggering droughts, making crops fail and raising sea levels] carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, said Thomas Karl, of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, N.C.

So he said that most of the warming happened before the big jump in greenhouse gasses. Then he called out James Hansen. Obviously he was disagreeing with Hansen's greenhouse gas fears. He even used facts and logic to back his opinion up.

This is not a peer-reviewed journal article, it is from a newsletter. This is not a scientific piece of literature, it is essentially an opinion piece. The author, John Gribbin is an astrophysicist, not a climate scientist.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Gribbin

So right there, the author's claim is that they left out cooling studies or some other such nonsense, and the author in an attempt to debunk the peer-reviewed paper posts links that aren't even relevant to the study itself, because they aren't peer-reviewed nor are they scientific studies in the field of climate science.

>Weaning ourselves off fossil fuels is the solution
Do you seriously believe an earth with 8 billion humans who all want fossil fuels is going to wean themselves off?

My argument is the AGW is irrelevant but I also suspect a nefarious and Machiavellian agenda is afoot. They will be spent with or without a global bureaucracy attempting to ration or otherwise control those resources which would be a nightmare, read more history. Absolutely power corrupts absolutely, when dealing with literal power especially. We will wean off them under natural depletion and letting the market alone drive the demand for alternatives which will demand their efficiency is the best course. Nuclear will surely supplement electrical grids more than it is today but that doesn't solve anything in reality as radioactive rocks will deplete. The refining process gradually get more expensive being fossil fuel intensive and under the current breakdown underway make budgeting new construction of plants difficult. There is no oil monopoly, you are free to enter the business or invest in it yourself. The barriers now and more than ever down the road are going to be put in place by the type of entities the AGW crowd wants to enable who will work hand in glove with 'big oil' to crush the working class, enrich the elite class and bloat government while solving nothing.

The analogy to the Catholic Church is startling and ironic. The more things change the more they stay the same, guess who fully endorses AGW theory and is in the process of training their clergy to disseminate AGW propaganda? History repeats. Dark ages incoming. The church thrives in an atmosphere of misery, poverty and holy war, energy poverty certainly won't hurt their cause.

No he didn't. you're lying about the article again. What the article says Thomas Karl said is that the global climate cooled from 1921 to 1979 is negative. But it didn't, no data shows that. It seems the article just misquoted him by saying "global climate" when he was talking about US climate. As you can see, the US had a cooling trend from 1921 to 1979, but all this shows is that you can make the trend whatever you want if you choose arbitrary start and end points. 1921 is abnormally hot and 1979 is abnormally cold.

Once again, you can't write a post without lying and misrepresenting the facts.

Consensus meant nothing anyways. The evidence of climate change speaks for itself, that is peer-reviewed scientific evidence and data published from sources globally.

The only reason things like the infamous "97%" study even happened is because of all the misleading statements from deniers about climate change being controversial and whatnot in the past decade, most of these deniers funded directly and indirectly by the petro industry.

Always hilarious to see deniers claim someone else is cherry-picking, and the same old claims that "because climate changed in the past, the current trend must be natural."

I honestly don't understand where this shit comes from. I believe it has to do with some sort of religious zealotry where people believe only a God / Gods can change the planet Earth, since God created Earth in their view or something, and his creations are powerless to enforce Gods domain. A lot of these types of arguments at least stem from this foundation I think. Why is it so hard to understand the evidence for climate change, and how it is linked to mankind's activity? Are there seriously people ignorant enough to believe that mankind has had no large impact on the ecology and environment of our planet?

Fuck, we were causing species extinctions before we even knew what an extinction was. We have been altering the ecology of this planet for tens of thousands of years, as long as humans have been spreading across the globe.

I didn't choose the picture because ti only goes back to 1900. It goes back to 1895 because that is the limit of NOAA data. Why did I choose NOAA data? Because the post I'm replying to is talking about what a NOAA scientist said about the temperature.

>because when you go back thousands of years you'll see that the earth is cooler than it was.
Hundreds of thousands of years, yes, but this is utterly irrelevant to anything in the argument. AGW does not say that the climate is warmer than it ever has been, it says that it is warming at an unprecedented rate for an unprecedented reason. Not to mention that your graph doesn't even show modern temps so that you can claim it was warmer thousands of years ago. Not to mention that just because the climate was warmer hundreds of thousands of years ago does not in any way show that such warmth is fine for us humans living today. This is an extremely hackneyed argument that only someone completely ignorant of climatology would make.

>It's called cherry picking.
No, it's not. How did my choice of data set (I didn't choose the start and end points) effect my conclusion about AGW? It didn't. Only some of the data is directly relevant to AGW, and the rest does not in any way contradict AGW. In fact, the historical temperature record can only be explained if the greenhouse effect and its related feedbacks are true. Try looking up "Milankovich cycles."

Yes, I read the post. The first quote is hilarious as it claims "skeptics" agree the climate has warmed and humans are a significant cause when this thread is full of /pol/tards denying both.

The second proves that there is a consensus on GHGs being responsible for *most* of the warming.

The third is simply a misuse of statistics because it includes all the papers that never made a declaration at all. That's like saying there is no consensus on evolution since it's so widely accepted that only a small fraction of papers even bother making a declaration on whether it is true.

So, the only "problem" remaining appears to be that the post starts with the strawman of a consensus for "urgent action" rather than a consensus on the scientific fact that is AGW.

Which is exactly why the Third Reich failed, he tried to subjugate the Jews which was a fatal mistake. In comparison President Trump realizes the important of maintaining the Judeo-Christian union, for the time being. The Fourth Reich is about liberty (the complete opposite of subjugation) and the Jews will play an important role in this process. Trump is simply here to correct the first Fuhrer's mistakes.

I noticed that when people who are really invested in a specific belief are challenged on something they tend to fall back on asking for sources for very stupid things so they can eternally justify dismissing what other people are saying. It is some interesting psychology. I wish you would really think about what you're asking me to source. I mean, if you would just read what I said you could verify and easily disprove anything that I've said that was wrong.

So I guess you also don't believe that there is a consensus on evolution too right? The more widely accepted and less necessary it is to state a view, the smaller and smaller that percentage will get. So the only reason to use such a percentage to argue against a consensus is to mislead. Why are you trying to mislead? It's not working by the way.

>That's just straight up ignorant wishful thinking though, wtf.
It's not ignorant or wishful, I said it was "possible and nessisary". It's possible because we have the technology to generate large amounts of electricity using other means, even if they're not as practical or cheap (yet?). It's nessisary because are lot of people are going to suffer if we don't.

>Unless a serious contender to replace fossil fuels is invented or discovered, which looks more unlikely every passing day no matter the amount of wishful thinking and misplaced trust in technology which is really another energy sink, that is exactly what will happen.

This graph is incredibly misleading. First of all, look at the scale of the X-axis. Starting from the left you have separations of 100million years, making the points look much sharper then they are in reality. On the right side of the X-axis the separation is far less, in thousands of years.

This is because the climate data we have for the past ~100,000 years is far more reliable than anything from paleoclimate that is hundreds of millions of years old. That said, it's not exactly a revelation that climate has been both hotter and colder on average in the geological history of Earth. In fact, it is widely hypothesized that before complex lifeforms on Earth formed, nearly the entire globe up to parts of the tropics was covered in ice sheets. The role of CO2 in countering the albedo effect in order to shrink these ice sheets may have allowed complex life forms to evolve on Earth.

Also, this data is comparing everything to a modern baseline (1960-1990), which makes the changes millions of years in the past look a lot more dramatic.

Most of the post you're responding to is context and is not implied otherwise by the graph.
The graph is misleading in that
1) changing the timescale in the x axis makes changes more abrupt than they are at the beginning
2) modern methods for determining temperature are different and more accurate (so comparing them is dicey at best). Generally we have more uncertainty and "more averaged" temperatures for the old records.

>> No.8540555

I don't see anyone in this thread claiming that deniers are wrong because they are funded by oil companies. The hypothetical of deniers being funded by oil companies is only used as a comparison to the widely prevalent argument that climatologists are involved in a conspiracy or are being paid to support AGW. It's pretty clear which side relies more heavily on scientific evidence and which side relies on ad hominem and conspiracy logic.
