The earth has been warming. The soundbytes by the denialist industry are just there to plant the seeds of doubt and confusion.
Atmospheric temperatures have increased over this period, And they have increased within the range of predictions made by the IPCC in the last report. but it was on the lower end of the range.

There was some slight observed cooling in the upper oceans, but this was more than offset by an accelerated heating in the deep oceans
The oceans are still warming, and they are still rising through thermal expansion.

There is no precedent for what we are doing to the earth. We conducting a massive uncontrolled experiment to find out what will happen if we release carbon into the air at a million times faster than the earth can sequester it. (estimates are that we have burnt fossil fuels in 100 years that took 100 million years for the earth to make)

We can not say for certain what will happen, but we can give educated guesses based on the best evidence we can come up with, and the potential outcomes are almost universally negative. Climate change deniers tried to muddy the debate by saying that global warming is actually good for us (CO2 is plant food, it will open up new lands for agriculture after the permafrost melts etc) but those arguments were so unbelievably stupid that not even the most cynical deniers could repeat them for long with a straight face

If the predictions arising from a hypothesis are not supported by actual observations, the hypothesis should be rejected.

That's right, and if things change and the earth stops warming, scientists will absolutely re-think the theory. The models are constantly being reviewed and revised and updated as we gain a better understanding and more data for analysis.

And, the global warming deniers use this as another attack on the science. Because climate scientists are constantly updating and improving the models, the deniers claim that they are making them up as they go along. You really can't win with these people. Their strategy is not to win any debate, their strategy is to create doubt and delay any action that will hurt their financial interests or those of their employers.

reall shows the attitude of some people on boards that when they are having a discussion and somebody strongly dissagrees with them so they refer to them as "keyboard warriors", while they themselves are on here argueing their point as well.

The difference between the global warming deniers and the climate scientists is that the climate scientists are engaged in active scientific research, while the deniers are engaged in a political/marketing campaign disguised as a scientific debate.

Scientists use information, data, research etc as their tools, the deniers use social media and traditional media, and partisan politicians as their tools.

I am on here to defend science and the scientific method and genuine sceptical and critical thinking.
The deniers are on here to repeat the same old lies that they throw out every single time this topic is mentioned, so much so that many internet science forums have banned all discussion on climate change because of the amount of moderation time it takes up, and as soon as a topic is started, they instantly have dozens of new members join the forum explicitly to spread denialist misinformation.
There is a clear strategy out there to crowd out the real science with lies, distortions, character attacks on real scientists so that the public in the middle are left confused and think that climate science is just some side issue that is only discussed by extremists on both sides.

also just because someone does not agree with the cause of "global warming" or "climate change" as they now call it, does not make them a sceptic or anti science, its just that they choose to believe different scientific information.

Science is not about choosing to believe something, it's about accepting what the evidence shows. The overwhelming evidence is that we are experiencing human induced global warming. If you choose to remain ignorant of this evidence (and there is no excuse not to inform yourself, the IPCC have just released a comprehensive report and there are lots of websites that explain this in laymans terms, eg www.skepticalscience.com) then they should abstain from making claims in the debate.
The evidence is there, it is convincing to a 95% confidence level. Arguments from incredulity are not helpful.
Just because you don't believe it doesn't make it wrong.

regarding the analogy of cancer [not very nice by the way].

Global warming is not very nice either

there is nobody denying climate change [ cancer as you say] what they are differing about is what caused it

Actually, there are lots of people denying global warming. They are deliberately using language (which is an imprecise medium for communication) to muddy the debate. They say 'I accept climate change, the climate is always changing' but what this debate is about is Human induced climate change, or 'Anthroprogenic Global Warming' and they will deny the reality of this.

These are climate change deniers, and they are ignoring the mountains of evidence that support the AGW hypothesis simply because they don't like what the implications are if it's true. They're no different to Creationists denying evolution because that implies that their literal interpretation of the bible is wrong.
You can't decide what is true or not based on what the consequences are if it is true. You have to decide the truth based on the evidence for and against the claim.

Actually, what you really need to be concerned about is the fact that humans, even when they want to, struggle to change their own behaviour. Marketers know this, and are funded by mega-corporations who have mostly short term aims to make money by wasting resources to hit quarterly goals. This (kind-of) means our planet is headed toward a carbon-consumer zombie apocalypse.

Amazing. It was 17 degrees celsius yesterday, and today it was 11 celsius, this is astonishingly dramatic climate change, we must do something fast to stop this climate change from happening :rolleyes:

The climate has changed all on it's lonesome, day in, day out, for millions of years, and this global warming (they had to change the name of that recently) climate change is the scam of the century, what a scam indeed, it's all about the money as per usual.

Can we not just let the natural climatic cycles do it's thing naturally without trying to damage it and our pockets please.

Climate doesn't change 'day in, day out' that's weather.

If you don't even know the difference between climate and weather then you have a lot of catching up to do before you can make any meaningful contribution to this debate.

Here's a helpful website that has very accessable explanations to pretty much all of the global warming talking points.

Who is they? Climate science has used global warming and climate change interchangeably all the time. They are two different processes.
However they recommended the media to start using climate change instead of global warming as it's more accurate and doesn't confuse people like you who think weather and climate is the exact same thing.

A quick lesson:
Global warming = the rise in average global temperatures, largerly caused by human emissions of greenhouse gases. (there is no scientific dispute about the fact that humans are the main cause of warming since the 1950s)
Climate Change = The resulting change in climate from higher global average temperatures. The consequences of climate change vary a lot between different regions. For example some places will get more rain, other places will get more drought, depending on if they're tropical or sub-tropical. Ireland will get more rain most likely. And there will be more extremes on both end of the scales, as in more cold extremes and more warm extremes.

So to not confuse people like you who think that global warming just means warmer weather, they asked the media to start using climate change which is a more accurate representation of the consequences we will see in the future. The two terms are of course both still used in the scientific literature as they don't need to dumb down the science for people like you who know nothing about climate science.


Climate scientist obviously know that the climate has changed in the past, and they know the causes to why it changed. Those causes can not in any way explain the extremely rapid climate change we are experiencing now.

They also know when past natural climate change has happened, and they know when it should happen again. It should absolutely not be happening now. The only explanation to why it's happening now is human emissions of greenhouse gases.

How much do you think a scientific researcher at a university actually makes? How much do you think a CEO of an oil company makes in comparison? You sound like a typical conspiracy theorist when you say it's all just a scam for money. We have known greenhouse gases lead to warming since 1896.

Was the "scam" invented that year by Svante Arrhenius do you think? And just carried on from there until they could create the UN, and then wait a few decades more and then propose a carbon tax (that most climate scientists think is a bad solution)?

I know this, that was indeed my mistake, it was a genuine error.

The IPCC has used pseudo-science regarding it's global warming/climate change models, some of these pseudo-scientists have already been caught from their e-mails of making up climate model changes on a large scale.

I might have been tired and made an obvious mistake in my previous comment regarding climate and weather, but i'm not a fool like many who believe in what the IPCC and it's pseudo-science try to tell us.

The IPCC continue to splurt out what their computer models predict, but NO computer model out there can predict something as complex as the climate. The highly complex nature of the climate would be impossible to measure in all of it's workings.

The ice is melting the IPCC says ? the ice north and south has always melted and it's called the spring break-up, it happens every year, and top climatologists and scientists are saying that the ice has actually accumulated much more in the past 5 years, so yes, the ice is melting because of the natural spring break-up of which has always been the case, but for the IPCC's pseudo-scientists, they will continue to make up new fake models probably to secure their funding.

Al Gore has his own agenda regarding carbon credits and he doesn't give a crap about the climate, he's in it for the cash obviously if you can't see it yet. Also the scientists that were signed down on the IPCC's books, many of them said they didn't want their names added to this but the IPCC went ahead anyway and signed them down, and in doing this, these scientists are bringing a case against the IPCC to have their names removed because when these scientists saw the final paper from the IPCC's models they didn't agree at all with it and made the remark that the models are completely wrong and so don't want anything to do with it, this is a fact, look it up.

It still doesn't change the fact that the IPCC's global warming AKA climate change models are fake and manipulated to secure funding and more extremist environmentalists.

It's still the scam of the century.

maw368

Yes there is dispute against Man made global warming you. Deniers just use pollitics and marketing, these two comments just show you for the ignorant bias individual you realy are, while spamming yoru drivel en masse trying to come across as clever. you claim there has been warming all this time, it's just deniers causing confusion, well why does the IPCC admit there has been no warming in the last 15 years, as they call it, the hiatus.

Regarding dispute and deniers are non scientists you are clearly burying your head in the sand. There is plenty of research that disagrees, there is plenty of research that shows how the sun is the bigger influence and plenty f research that explains the significant HIATUS, because due to the quitest sun in over a 100 years we will see a NORMAL CYLICAL trend of cooler climate. To back this up you will find many scientists of all the relevant and related fields from various relevant institutions around the world. The web if filled with the information, which is why I know you are just being using your own bias in your selectivity. I bet you've never even researched the alternative which you should really before claiming the deniers are wrong. How can you know they are wrong without doing the research and you obviously haven't done any not to see how many scientists have the polar opposite ideas.

I can't be bothered to go track down all the information that I have come across because already its clear you wont read it, or if you do you will read it with your selective glasses on, as you seem to have done so well to date. There has even been many scientists from the IPCC claim how they are committing fraud, being selective in data with warm bias, completely getting te science wrong, using undereducated undergraduate student work (and admission from a top level IPCC employee). There has been scientists leave the IPCC due to the moral issue of their lies, then his name was still flaunted by the IPCC when saying the top scientists agree with AGW. He had to ask on so many occasions to stop using his as a reference to their research that he eventually took legal action to stop them using his name. Then the institutes involved have been caught committing fraud with their data hence the climategate scandal.

The IPCC predictions were not correct, the drop in temps never happened to the extent they claimed years ago, hence the formal admission from the IPCC. Sea levels didn't rise as much, temps didn't rise as much or at all over last 15 years (HIATUS)etc, still snows in the UK after apparently expcting to see no more snow. Well we have had record snow falls and record temperatures over last 5 years. We had 7 months below average temps last year and 6 months below average temps this year according to the UK MO. Your just talking nonsense

I always like how people who doubt climate change accuse everyone of being involved in a conspiracy to promote it and make money. Meanwhile a rather large industry who might want to oppose a tax on carbon emissions through misinformation is totally ignored.

If the green conspiracy is so much more powerful than the oil industry I wonder why we aren't all forced to drive electric cars and live under the terrible blades of wind farms.

maw368

Who said anything about a wide scale conspiracey. As Edwards Bernays said, you only need to manipulate the opinion of the leader/peer to manipulate the opinion of the masses. When everyone agrees with the religion of AGW without questioning the SCIENCE then its not a wide scale conspiracey, just ignorant followers. To call it science you need to consider all weakness in your theory and consider all research that contradicts your theory. The IPCC do not liek to consider any data or research that contradicts them which is why so many fo their own staff have spoken about their bias

It is funny, usually it's the likes of the oil industries that these poor souls accuse of miss-information and CTs. It makes me smile when they accuse the 97% of scientists of pseudoscience and prefer to believe it's the 3% who are doing the real stuff. Poor sods.

It's obvious none of the recent posters have read this pdf .

maw368

And trying to dismiss fraud that did go through a legal battle as a result is not a good way of disgussing AGW. People always blindly accuse people of conspiracey when they have NOTHING useful to say. Especially when conspiracey wasn't mentioned. Why not criticise the points in my case rather than cry conspiracey, I know its hard but it is far more useful. Or are yu afraid to learn about the fraud, or trying to keep it to the back of your mind.

It's not hard to get scientists or universities to support your theory when these institutes get or DONT get funding if they don't favour the outcome of the people providing the funding. Everyone understands it when its a fad diet that has all this research done by some scientists, no one is surprised to learn that the scientists used bad research methods and came to aweful conclusions that didn't prove anything, just hints at coincidence which if often enough to fool people with poor logic. Everyone understands then when that diet is eventually discredited and all of the research, science and scientists that were involved in making it the fad that it was. Well its same here, its a propaganda machine, setting opinions in just the way Edward Bernays did for government in his days. It's the same BAD science, with flawed logic that is just sufficient to seduce the lazy minds that just adopt an opinion due to social conformity and never EVER bother to actually check for contradictions, errors or anything that remotely challenges their belief. AGW is just a religion, no evidence just faith. Well the new trend of cold weather is already taking hold for 5 consecutive year now throughout Northern Hemisphere, interesting to see what winter brings again this year as it's only October

97% of scietists don't agree though, provide evidence to prove to me that 97% f scientists in the world agree with AGW, if you can't provide evdidence t support that number then you are just blindly regurgitating your BIBLE without evidence, just faith. Just reading your IPCC literature (BIBLE), is not evidence to support this claim. Provide evidence that proves beyond all doubt that 90 odd percent of scientists agree. Otherwise stop spouting that crap.

There are far too many of these pseudo-scientists engaged in this, but as has happened, when you have a well known scientist that disputes the IPCC's data and disagree with them they find themselves out of a job and this has happened too many times by these fraudsters.

You are just a repeater, just like most religious believers of global warming/climate change. It would be foolish to not believe in climate change because we all know that the climate has changed and has done since it existed naturally, but i do not believe it's man-made. Blame nature and volcano's for releasing it's natural ejection of Co2. Tax the air people breath next, they may as well the way things are going. The poison Co2 they say, you wouldn't be here without it, nothing would.

The global warming crowd are just a bunch of environmental extremists. They want us all to go back to the stoneage, bunch of freaks. They keep putting the clamps on in certain parts of africa in not allowing them to use electricity in hospitals, the environmental extremists allow them to only use solar panels to power their fridges and lighting of which doesn't work for them.

I mean...do you really sincerely believe that?

So what have they been doing? Nothing.

Why don't you lead by example and start living off the grid?
Stop working for example? What's the point anyway if we're all doomed?

Reduce your carbon footprint by cycling or walking into work each day.

Instead of turning on your heating, why not throw on an extra piece of clothing?

Dump all your electronic items, go back to using horse and plough to grow your own food...cut the wheat with a scythe.

Lead the way on reversing climate change/saving the world and no doubt thousands and millions will follow.

If you're unable to convince enough people, take a loud speaker down to the town and read out your PDF on why climate change is real and see how many care.

I can't believe everyone complaining about global warming. Are you kidding me? You kids today....you have no idea what we had to do, what we went through....to keep this planet warm.

If not for my generation, we'd all be on ice. Frozen. Dead.

“A major climatic change would force economic and social adjustments on a worldwide scale,” warns a recent report by the National Academy of Sciences, “because the global patterns of food production and population that have evolved are implicitly dependent on the climate of the present century.” –

Newsweek – April 28, 1975 “The Cooling World”

Seriously though - does anyone else remember this? See, back in the 70s, the world was freezing, and humans were to blame. And it was getting worse, by the 'year 2000' (they loved to say 'year 2000') we were all going to be dead or living like ancient times, in small tribes, hunting animals or some crap.

Some weren't so grim though....

The world “could be as little as 50 or 60 years away from a disastrous new ice age, a leading atmospheric scientist predicts,” read a July 9, 1971 Washington Post article. NASA scientist S.I. Rasool, a colleague of James Hansen, made the predictions. The 1971 article continues: “In the next 50 years” — or by 2021 — fossil-fuel dust injected by man into the atmosphere “could screen out so much sunlight that the average temperature could drop by six degrees,” resulting in a buildup of “new glaciers that could eventually cover huge areas.” If sustained over “several years, five to 10,” or so Mr. Rasool estimated, “such a temperature decrease could be sufficient to trigger an ice age

We had until 2020 - or so.....before our man made pollutants triggered an ice age.

In the early 1970s, top CIA thinkers concluded that changing weather was “perhaps the greatest single challenge that America will face in coming years”. As a result they ordered several studies of the world’s climate, the likely changes to come and their probably effect on America and the rest of the world. The studies conclude that the world is entering a difficult period during which major climate change (further cooling) is likely to occur. That is the consensus of the Central intelligence Agency, which highlights the fact that we are overdue for a new ice age. Many climatologists believe that since the 1960s,

EVEN THE CIA knew. And let's face it, if the American's can figure it.....it must have been right in front of all our noses!

GLOBAL COOLING IS REAL AND HUMANS ARE RESPONSIBLE.

We did what we had to do.....to save the world. People were burning trash in the streets.....I sold my bicycle and purchased a large school bus to drive for my day-to-day errands.

WE SAVED THE WORLD....YOU ARE WELCOME.

Read the link in the post above your one I quoted here, then get back to me.

In its most recent assessment, IPCC states "unequivocally" that the consensus of scientific opinion is that Earth's climate is being affected by human activities: “Human activities …

As i already said, How on earth can anyone possibly believe a corrupt fraudulent organisation like the IPCC after all of it's manipulations of the climate data. Man-made they say, is it mans fault that volcano's erupt more Co2 over long periods of time ?

Is it man's fault for having to breath out Co2 ? millions upon millions of animals farting every second of the day, man's fault again. Sounds like the IPCC would like to kill off the human race and all animals and plug volcano's from releasing this deadly poisonous thing called Co2 by the sounds of it.

The climate has been changing naturally, long before we became a technologically advanced species, it also enjoyed it's levels of Co2, well the plants love it
