    Something tells me he's just going to continue spewing what's been fed to him by No Agenda.

    Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’

    Nice. Calling people 'dumbass' really does a lot for your credibility. Right up there with the rest of your slanderous diatribe and youtube videos meant to characterize other forum members. You know, I understand you think you're incredibly intelligent for being able to pick up on any public...

    Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’

    Contrails on their own are relatively harmless. It's only when the cool, crystalized water begins to fall and turn into water vapour that it begins to contribute to the green house effect. But natural vapour from the earth's atmosphere vastly eclipses any vapour created by contrails. Just...

    Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’

    That satellite image shows a lot of contrails. Contrails that wouldn't be at that altitude if the temperature wasn't so high. A temperature that wouldn't be so high if there weren't any C02 driving it up. C02 that NASA says is actually the driver for climate change. And around the ferris...

    Well, I'll give him credit for at least having some sort of discourse.

    Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’

    Vapour is not good or bad just because it's vapour. If you took an enormous vacuum cleaner and sucked up all the vapour, it is true that you would reduce warming to some degree. But then we would still be left with the cause of this warming which would still increase temperatures, and you...

    Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’

    Petros, regarding that quote, the greenhouse "effect" is what comes after the "cause". The effect which is in part, water vapour, is a result of the cause - the increase in temperature due to carbon in the atmosphere. Notice the term 'feedback mechanisms'. Water vapour is a feedback mechanism...

    Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’

    I'm not sure what you want me to say about that cap. Water vapour is the most abundant greenhouse gas. And it is also true that humans only have a small influence in the amount of atmospheric water vapour. That's great. None of that denies that C02 is the driving factor for climate change...

    Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’

    The crux of the argument is whether or not water vapour is a driving force. You can deliberate on the scientific community, political schema, or any other tag line you want. But if you're going to debate science of your claim, then stick to the science of your claim. And as is shown by...

    Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’

    I don't think you read our posts cap. Water vapour is a function of temperature. On it's own it does not 'create' global warming. It's not an actual driver for climate change. If you want any more clarification on that, I suggest you take Gr. 10 science again.

    Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’

    Water vapour is not a driver of the greenhouse effect. It is a function of temperature. It will amplify the greenhouse effect, but it doesn't come a priori - it's not a driver. The hotter the existing temperature, the faster evaporation occurs and the stronger the amplification of warming. The...

    Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’

    Like I said, I've got nothing to prove. I've read the report and there's not one mention of condensation having any significant influence. But since you're the one making the claim, you might want to re-read it. Or maybe read it for the first time.

    Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’

    Proof? Oh yea, I forgot you can't read, lol. Seems to be the same comprehension problem you had when we asked you to point out evidence from the Royal Society doc. It's probably the same psychosis that led you to forget those numerous peer reviewed studies we posted to help you broaden your...

    Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’

    How about you pull up your pants and prove the IPCC "identifies water vapour as the most prominent factor that impacts the climate", and then we'll talk. Until then, you can enjoy my contrails.

    How the GW myth is perpetuated

    No. Vapour is a function of temperature. It will amplify the greenhouse effect, but it doesn't come a priori - it's not a driver. The contrails and cirrus clouds you're pimping are harmless while they are frozen. It's only when the begin to evaporate and turn into vapour that they amplify the...
