    Death knell for AGW

    I can't wait to see how the science illiterati spin this when the national academies of science vindicate the work that has been done.

    Ahh, science by ad hominem. Doesn't work that way.:roll:

    Our cooling world

    Statistician Tamino has destroyed more of Watts' and D'Aleo's nonsense, and is working towards publishing his results. Imagine that...submitting work to ensure that there aren't grievous errors, (like Watts famously not understanding why anomalies from different data sets don't mach perfectly! lol).

    Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’

    Well let's see. We have Senator James Inhoffe, a powerful congressman who has used his position as committee chair along with his subpoena power to intimidate enemies. People have been accused simply for being collaborators on scientific works with some people who were named in those stolen...

    Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’

    If you were attentive you would have noticed that I used a pole reversal as the extreme example of pole migration, which you may understand when you read the rest of my reply. You really are daft. I described precession. A wobbling movement of the polar axis, not a change of where the North...

    Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’

    Nothing. I'm asking you specifically how magnetic polar migration, what Petros was referring to can cause, as you said "Differential exposure of polar glaciers to the sun." If you had bothered to check when I was explaining the glaciation events earlier, one of the Milankovitch cycles I...

    Our cooling world

    Yes, don't respond to the hard stuff...as I said, ignorant and now it's also ironic. The Dunning-Kruger effect explains it all.

    Our cooling world

    You're the most ignorant fellow by far on this subject. 1. Most active scientists in the 1970's were finding that the climate was indeed warming, by a wide margin. Read the meta-analysis for yourself, one of the American Meteorological Society's most popular papers...

    Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’

    Sigh...you said: Ducking nothing. Nobody ever stated it's a solitary factor. It's a tactic deniers use to try to frame the debate around one sole factor causing climate change, which the IPCC does not say, which no studies find, and which no observant reader of this issue could possibly come to...

    Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’

    Yes, but I do not believe it is the sole cause, which is what you were talking about. It's a strawman. Nobody has found evidence that it is one single cause, I don't assert that it is driven by a single factor, and intelligent discussions should never be so exclusionary... No. They also find...

    Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’

    I never said anything about that. I responded to another posters musings about a lack of coverage on this topic. I suggested that it is a lack of physical explanations. Others have suggested cosmogenic isotopes, but those results haven't proved fruitful in the literature. I like mechanistic...

    Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’

    Attentive readers will note that he gave me no possible mechanism to explain how it could cause climate change. And yes, it is a coincidence...unless you can show me how it isn't. I'm not looking the other way. You haven't given me anything to look at. Provide something for your claim. Sheesh.

    Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’

    So, show me that all other planets and rocks are warming, and once you've established that, establish that the same cause of Earth's climate change is the same cause for those other planets. I say he has a reluctance because he specifically asks questions which are answered in links I've...

    Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’

    Anthropogenic climate change is caused by manmade alterations to the global carbon cycle, making our atmosphere opaque to long-wave infrared radiation. It's not a particular that is going to be able to explain past climate change, because dinosaurs never mined the Earth for hydrocarbons. But...

    Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’

    Why on Earth should anthropogenic global warming explain past temperature fluctuations? That is the most ridiculous piece of crap I've read today. There are many ways to perturb the climate, for those out there so convinced that they have stumbled onto something clever...it's radiative...

    Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’

    I'm an agrologist technically, and I think I happen to have a pretty good beat on the information that is relevant. You don't really need to be a climatologist to grasp what's going on, though it will obviously help to give the individual more insight into the nature of the dynamic systems...
