Late late Olivia Dreary vs Jim Corr

LETHAL LADY

Jim Corr may come across as one of the tinfoil hat brigade but Olivia Drearey a snob telling us all how we should behave in her eyes what a cnut.

You're not too far off the mark there, it smacks of Charlie telling us we're living beyond our means.

Didn't watch the late late. All I know is Jim Corr is pretty mad, Christopher Monckton is a former conservative politician who thinks he knows about climatology and I generally detest the greens. If you're going to talk about climate change, spend a few years working as a geochemist etc... then come back and talk about it. Until then it's just shite talk from loons.

You could just as easily have 2 well educated professionals in the field that could argue both side of this argument and will be just as confusing

Yeh but it's usually an argument over something like acidification preparations or robustness of your statistical methodology. Scientific arguments can get pretty heated but usually boil down to the absolutely most pedantic, like one I heard; "Oh you counted 300 diatoms in your climate paper, that's only representative of 95% of diatom species, why didn't you count 500 as this would be 98% of known species", stuff like. The best thing most climate scientists do is avoid the hockey stick model, it's absolutely detrimental so it is and draws the wrong kind of attention. It's just numpties like Corr and Monckton that get on my nerves, the latter especially, really grinds my gears with the awful stats he does in SPSS and comes out with some shite from; "the last ten years", because climates don't change over a long period of time or nothing, like even 50 or 100 years.

A sure fire way for the non scientists among us to glaze over

Perhaps but it appears to me, very much a non expert that we simply do not have the info to make firm assessments as to our effect on the environment rendering informed debate practically impossible

Judging by the conversations on these boards and elsewhere, I've realised I'm damn lucky that I fell asleep not long after the opening credits and woke up not long before the closing credits. Seemed that it wasn't 2.5 hours of my life wasted after all

I was just stating that a majority of scientists argue over details but they generally (i.e. not all the time, scientists are as fallible as Jim Corr et al.) argue over the details, especially in climate research. There's a shit load of numerical and statistical modelling involved and generally it's over how good a model is and whether models like these should be used to predict, most scientists don't like to get into predictions but usually leave a nice comment in the conclusions of a research paper ("Future work should look at examining..."). I think the consensus with most environmental and earth scientists is that things are getting warmer and this is definitely supported in the palaeo (old) data from lake cores, ice cores etc... However, it tends to be cyclical in nature and it's these cycles we're interested in. If there's a pattern, some inferences can be made with some confidence about what is happening (i.e. the processes involved).

The main thing which is open to a tonne of problems, is trying to tie people to the carbon being released in an extremely robust manner (beyond the usual; climate change malark). Easier said than done, but carbon isotope work over the last 50 years has suggested that there is a dilution occurring in certain isotopes of carbon, mainly δ13C by 12C, which is fossilised carbon. Now even with volcanoes erupting etc... this is a pretty odd thing to occur more or less has to be released by either volcanoes or some kind of extraction.

It's tough going!:D

The snob who drives a 12 year old VW Golf, while half the country was/is driving around in machines they simply could never afford. Better being a snob, than a pretentious one I guess.

I thought she came across brilliant actually.
