    AGW Denial, The Greatest Scam in History?

    It only factors about 10% of the warming of the last 120 years. "Only in the anthropogenic influence is there a sufficiently large upward trend over the past 120 years to explain global surface temperature variations self-consistently with the space-era components. Accordingly, trends in...

    AGW Denial, The Greatest Scam in History?

    Yea, I can't believe we're actually deliberating Marc Morano. Might as well be talking about Rush Limbaugh as a legitimate climatologist. And that article you posted, captain, has no actual temperature data, nor does it refer to a credible source. It's just Morano saying: "Da climate is cold...

    Please stick to the topic. It's getting a bit tiring having to be your moderator.

    AGW Denial, The Greatest Scam in History?

    Nothing of what you said makes any sense, or is any indication of any of the arguments posited by Tonnington. Firstly, none of what he has posted has been founded upon assumptions as you have stated. In fact he cites source material for all arguments that require some sort of explanation...

    Our cooling world

    Once again, you evade my perfectly reasonable argument Avro. Tell me, how long was it since your last escapade with the IPCC at the round table, eh? Did they also provide iced koolaid for you and your kin? I heard that you and 5 other scientists attested for 97% of the vote. Don't bother me...

    Our cooling world

    The good captain has obviously failed as a skeptic, so I am now inheriting his position and taking control of the ship before it hits an iceberg. Hopefully, I can actually provide a legitimate argument against this whole anthro-nonsense. Firstly, the planet has obviously been warming. We need...

    lol.. and the mania just goes on and on... We should create a 'Table of Contents' thread, which has links to every argument posited and then refuted. This way, when the next fallacious rebuttal is brought forth, we can refer to Article x.x in our lovely little table.

    Our cooling world

    That article is from 2003. In December of 2009, the solar situation is drastically different: -- Despite being on the lower end of the solar cycle, global temperatures are still rising. That isn't to say that solar cycles do not have an effect, but that effect is truly minimal, and...

    Our cooling world

    Solar activity has been fairly constant for the last 40 years. Peter Hadfield does a really good analysis of the solar cycle data, cloud movement data and any other factors of climate change and cross examines that data with the rise in C02, etc.. YouTube - 2. Climate Change -- the objections...

    Our cooling world

    It is, actually. Both solar radiation and the El Nino/La Nina cycle are prominent factors of climate change. But they've been able to show that despite those factors, the temperature is still increasing. Solar radiation is actually the easier of the two to debunk because we've been on the low...

    Well, that's the motto of all businesses in all industries. Profit becomes justification for moral ambiguity. It's kinda the downfall of society actually.

    AGW Denial, The Greatest Scam in History?

    True, the liberals eventually revised their plans to enact a $10 billion dollar plan to reduce emissions by 270 million tonnes by 2012 - which was half of what the Kyoto protocol originally dictated. Very poor effort on their part, but I guess the science in 2005 wasn't conclusive enough for...

    Well, yea, the existing government is under fire for just this very reason. Canada was at the forefront of the Kyoto protocol and then became the most reviled country at COP15 for not keeping to their promises. Increasing oil production was not a solution to this situation at all as...

    AGW Denial, The Greatest Scam in History?

    I have no idea what you are talking about. I don't have any intention to 'rally troops' or sing kumbaya. Sounds like a terrible diversion coming from someone who's completely run out of gas. As I said before, I would love it if the skeptics were right. Why don`t you just step down and let...
