    AGW Denial, The Greatest Scam in History?

    It's just baseless conservatism at this point. And I stress baseless. There can be a legitimate conservatism - this is not it.

    Toronto Mayoral Race

    Right now, I know very little about this.. and that is precisely why I created this thread. I can say that in all fairness this will be a race between Ford and Smitherman. That said, there is no official break-down of each of their campaign promises. All the media outlets are giving us news...

    AGW Denial, The Greatest Scam in History?

    Sorry, let me 'retract' that. NATO is an IGO and it operates very closely with the UN just as the IPCC does. All of these organizations are IGOs, but that doesn't mean they should be thrown away just because they are. NATO - Topic: United Nations, NATO?s relations with the -

    AGW Denial, The Greatest Scam in History?

    Like I said earlier, you're committing a pretty big hypocrisy here. You either have to accept the existence of all UN factions or deny them if you think that they shouldn't exist simply on the basis that they were founded by the UN. If you want to get rid of the IPCC, then you should also want...

    Just curious but where do you get your info from on the NWO? Or you were you just naturally so enlightened about our movement for global domination?

    AGW Denial, The Greatest Scam in History?

    When did I ever say that they're infallible? When did I ever say that all science that does not support AGW is junk science? Where do you get off spouting this assumptive rhetoric? How many times have I discussed solar irradiation? Or the nino and nina cycles? Or contrails? Or sunspot...

    AGW Denial, The Greatest Scam in History?

    Firstly, I don't idolize that body as the epitome of all things scientific and right - because they don't actually produce the foundational science itself. They collect science from other peer-reviewed journals and scientists. Secondly, we've already been through the concept that science is...

    AGW Denial, The Greatest Scam in History?

    The point is - as you've now just proven - that being an intergovernmental body does not automatically decry the purpose or intent of that body. Calling the IPCC a 'political body' does not invalidate its existence just as calling NATO a 'political body' does not invalidate its existence. It's...

    AGW Denial, The Greatest Scam in History?

    Is the IPCC alarmist? "Unquestionably, the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was formed to build the scientific case for humanity being the primary cause of global warming. Such a goal is fundamentally unscientific, as it is hostile to alternative hypotheses for the...

    AGW Denial, The Greatest Scam in History?

    from wiki.. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is a scientific intergovernmental body tasked with evaluating the risk of climate change caused by human activity. Intergovernmental organizations differ in function, membership and membership criteria. They have various goals...

    AGW Denial, The Greatest Scam in History?

    Re: 2010, another year of extreme coral bleaching That's a bit harsh don't you think? Firstly, about climategate, it's already been debunked. A long time ago. Secondly, do you really think it's fair that you can assume every single skeptic scientist on this planet was bullied into believing...

    AGW Denial, The Greatest Scam in History?

    I wouldn't mind having a fair and reasonable discussion about contrails. I'm having a little bit of confusion with what you're asking for though, petros. Can you clarify your position regarding the IPCC and their inability to confirm these details? Preferably without the condescension...

    Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’

    I was referring more to the sleazy headline and obvious slant in the article's prose. I think the point is to show that anthropogenic influence is what's important here. Obviously no one is going to deny there is an anthropogenic warming right now, but if it was a deliberate cooling that could...

    Of course they are Tonn. If it wasn't for Gore, we wouldn't believe in this stuff. :D

    Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’

    It's because the public can't pronounce anthropogenic, nor do they know what that even means. I wouldn't put too much confidence in the Daily Mail of all sources though, lol

    AGW Denial, The Greatest Scam in History?

    Well, science is only credible if it shows other forms of climate change of course. :tongue9:
