    Did the really need such a convoluted reason to market "new cars". It seems to me that there have been new cars sold since the first car was produced.

    If you use just a small bit of your brain you will understand my sentence and also you wouldnt be that stupid to understand whats meant by "new cars"

    Obviously mister i wanted to say hybrid cars but some people are too stupid to understand.

    And if co2 emmision from cars was such a big problem there would be cars running on water . But why not ? Oil Petrol Business , theres already cars running on water but no , as long as theres petrol , diesel , oil they wont be for anyones use.

    Can you explain how it is a religion?

    Anthropogenic climate change, much in common with religion and present day science lacks conclusive evidence and agreement amongst those discussing it.

    Like religion and science, anthropogenic climate change is a belief system.

    As I said I am a sceptic and that extends to science and anthropogenic climate change.

    People are too stupid to understand the term hybrid car so instead you went with the much more ambiguous "new car"? If you wanted to say it why didn't you? It's not as if conventional fossil fuel burning cars are going to stop working tomorrow and we all need to rush out to buy hybrids or electric cars.

    Can you provide a link to cars which run on water?

    Are personal insults really the best you can do?

    I didnt mean to insult you but not understanding my structure of a sentence or trying to be smart is not the best start of a discussion.

    Yes i know no one is forced but they are still out there for people which but those cars. A production of a hybrid car makes more harm to our surroundings than an average use of a petrol car.

    But Anthropogenic climate change does actually have conclusive evidence and it does have agreement with the vast vast majority of climate scientists.

    By your incorrect definition, belief in conspiracy theories is also a religion.

    What convinced you? Did you investigate journal bias on the subject and bias against the presentation of evidence of climate change being non anthropogenic? And further the economics behind its favour?

    Well that's simply untrue.
    Practically very single scientific body supports the idea of Anthropogenic Climate change.
    A recent paper analysing the consensus found that:
    (i) 97–98% of the climate researchers most actively publishing in the field support the tenets of ACC (Anthropogenic Climate Change) outlined by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and (ii) the relative climate expertise and scientific prominence of the researchers unconvinced of ACC are substantially below that of the convinced researchers.

    More details here:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_opinion_on_climate_change

    And as for the convincing evidence: it's in the papers being published by climate researchers.
    But please by all means, ignore all that if you'd like.

    The if that's you're only critiera for "being like a religion" then conspiracy theories fit that exactly.
    sligopark wrote: »

    Ultimately the dishonesty and shenanigans of the people denying it. It was indistinguishable from the tactic used by all the other pseudo scientists.
    sligopark wrote: »

    Yes. And it's the silly cries of bias to cover the lack of science for the deniers.
    There are a few serious researchers who aren't convinced of Anthropogenic climate change and publish papers unhindered.
    sligopark wrote: »
    And further the economics behind its favour?
    Well no, because that has no barings on the science.
    You realise there's quite a large financial incentive to causing doubt about ACC right?

    but notice how none of this actually answers the question I asked you.

    But I'm using the exact same logic you are using to label science and ACC as religions.
    Belief in conspiracy theories is a belief system, therefore by your statements a religion.

    Now I don't actually hold this as true, I'm just using it as an example of the flaw in your claim.
    sligopark wrote: »

    No I mean people who posit non-scientific ideas as if they are scientific ideas.
    Einstein was able to show using actual science and math that his theory was correct. Pseudo scientists cannot do this, instead using imagined conspiracies to explain this lack of evidence.

    since 1880 to 2000 it has only increased by 0.8 ? Really are you kidding me ?

    I dont give a damn because its nothing , its not going to affect me , my kids, my kids kids and sooo on till human being dies ;(

    While I realise that the poster above has already expressed no interest in continuing the discussion, I'd like to point out the following for anyone else who is interested...

    On the surface of things, 0.8 degrees seems insignificantly small. What harm could an average global shift of 0.8 degrees possibly do.

    Well, in 1816, a smaller (0.4 to 0.7) shift led to what was known as The Year Without a Summer.

    In the opposite direction, consider Ireland in 2010. Coldest year in a long time. Coldest December on record. The annual average at the main measurement stations less then 0.8 degrees below the 1961 - 1990 average.

    Now...before someone starts pointing to that and saying that it proves things aren't getting warmer, lets first consider that its one year, and secondly lets consider that Ireland's surface area is approximately .015% of the earth's surface area. Europe as a whole clocks in around 2%.

    Initial records show 2010 as being one of the warmer years, globally. Provisionally, its tied with 2005 at the top of the table. If you can't reconcile that with a cold Ireland, consider the heat eave that effected most of the northern hemisphere while missing western europe.

    Of couse, the northern hemisphere isn't the globe either...but at least anyone making that connection won't be arguing about the weather in Ireland being significant.

    No I called someone a troll and so undermined their argument past addressing it Good Logs despite being prevoked - I should not have resorted to name calling - whilst I might not have read the charter it is there.

    King Mob - as a sceptic I question science - I am not a believer in the present day belief system of science - it has robbed us of time - one has only to look at the failure of the genome project to tell us anything of what drives the genes as promised as one exmaple - vitalism and the philosophical question of what we are have been pushed aside as have arguments to tax the human gaseous excrement as bogus - anthrogenic climate change is not real it is a push to further tax (enslave) lower class citizens upon this planet.

    King Mob why not become a REAL sceptic and ask questions of science rather than as a scientific bishop proclaim yourself whole and not to be questioned. Nit picking does not become you nor your arguement.

    I honestly have no idea what you're talking about as none of that has any baring in the reality the rest of us live in I'm afraid.

    And I do ask questions of science, by reading the opinions of those like yourself who object to it.
    You haven't offered anything convincing or substantive.

    So again: As a "real skeptic" what evidence would you accept that would convince you of anthropogenic climate change?

    So asking what evidence would convince you is a silly question? Why?

    Again this is a very simple and fair question, easily answered by a "real skeptic". But instead of giving a brief one sentence answer you start waffling about absolute nonsense.
    It's my guess that you simply can't answer the question, as you feel that no evidence would convince you to change your mind on the matter.
    This of course would mean you aren't a skeptic at all, and in fact a believer like you're accusing others of.

    You do take your own advice and question all the claims against climate change that you as you say you question the evidence for, right?
    What convinced you that anthropogenic climate change is impossible?

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,455 ✭✭✭✭Monty Burnz


    in fairness there were a LOT of Nuclear tests in the 50's they released Massive amounts of energy into the atmosphere, we dont know what that has done to the Atmosphere.

    CO2 is a natural output from most Animal lifeforms on the planet, Plants need it to survive, yet all of a sudden over the last decades it has become this big bogeyman responsible for everything bad thats happening, I think shennanigans.
    I disagree that they released massive amounts of energy into the atmosphere. It's probably easy enough to work out how much energy was released f you know the approximate total amount of TNT equivalent of the tests.

    I'd be surprised if the total amount exceeded the amount that Dublin uses in a year.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,455 ✭✭✭✭Monty Burnz


    it makes sense that the radiation would acumulate at the Poles, thats where the Ozone depleters collected.

    BTW, who here remembers the O-zone Hole??
    Why does that make sense? And what do you mean when you say that the 'radiation' would accumulate there? And how would it get there from underground?

    It's amazing the infantile responses this statement attracts, and to make matters worse, if you are going to actually answer and prove the statement, you'll get google pages thrown back at you and you only get asked the same questions again and again and again.

    Suffice to say that this is another control mechanism and on your Tax returns one should be asked if they believe in man made climate change and THEY should pay DOUBLE.

    Win, win.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,455 ✭✭✭✭Monty Burnz


    Interesting Point Bonkey, Yes I agree that we shouldnt trust what the Media of the Govt spoonfeed us, but I still Question the Science of ANTHROPORMOPHIC (sp) Climate change, Yes we are havin an effect but NO its not to the level that is beig claimed
    Can you please explain how you reached this conclusion, contrary to the overwhelming majority those who have spent their lives studying the field?

    Cheers.
    where am I scaremongering??????????

    I'm appealing to the rational scientific and analytical mind in all of us to look at not just the Crap being presented to us but the actual HISTORY recorded of our planet, it has been colder and Hotter within recorded history, that leads me to the presumption that this is a Natural cycle [/B]
    In all probability those who have spent their lives studying the history of the earth's climate are aware that it used to be different, but if you think that they do not then you should immediately contact them with this information, as I agree that it is very important to factor it in.

    It's difficult for you to prove because 98% of experts in the field disagree with you. That should perhaps make you question why you announce your belief as 'fact' when 98% of the people who study this stuff their whole lives say 'we are pretty sure that human activity is causing a lot of this'.

    Sounds fair enough. And that tax can be used to build a haven for the families of those who pay it, exclusively for their use if things get really ugly in the next century...;)
