    Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’

    Hmm, so Rahmstorf and Vermeer find a higher amount, they notify Siddall et al. about their error, and you later talk about sea level not rising, as if it rested on this one study. That's what makes you obtuse. You and many others see this as more than it is. It's an error, and other scientists...

    Death knell for AGW

    Looks like South Carolina has joined the madness as well. They're trying to legislate equality of issues in the class room. Science is not democratic, it is meritocratic. It's so ludicrous, that SC actually appears to be consulting horoscopes: Emphasis mine...unbelievable.

    Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’

    He has nothing to offer except broad claims of fraud and mistakes. None of that will wash away what we are observing in the atmosphere. His material is bush league denial.

    Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’

    It's the truth. The references in the IPCC reports are not IPCC. They are taken from the whole climate community. Professional skeptics like John Christy have taken part. They've discussed studies which go against the grain so to speak. You can review all of the comments that were invovled in...

    Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’

    Rubbish. No organization on Earth is perfect. Mistakes happen. You can't disregard their science just because they have made mistakes. If there are mistakes in the investigations, then that is another thing altogether. Pathetic. If you're going to disregard everything that the IPCC might...

    Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’

    The data was lost before Phil Jones was the Director. That was back in the 1980's...before FOI requests. Willful ignorance. For your education: The Biggest Control Knob- Carbon Dioxide in Earth's Climate History

    Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’

    No, I prefer accurate statements, and relevant references. If that makes me selective then I would suggest that you ought to try narrowing your view a bit. Point 1 My point is the IPCC is a synthesis of the body of climate knowledge. I think it's far more likely that Monbiot had begun to...

    Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’

    It's not farts that are the problem, it's burps, and that's with ruminants. Mastodons were not ruminants. And for the last time, nobody said there was only one way to change the climate. The closest group that would come to a conclusion like that are the lame brained fools who think that a...

    Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’

    Monbiot is older than the IPCC. You have no idea what he used to base his opinions on. Maybe in college he read scientific journals...something you should try. I'm not asking you to prove a negative, I'm asking you to provide evidence for your claims of debunking. Where did I ask you to prove...

    Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’

    Do you have a crystal ball? You have no idea what Monbiot has based his opinions on. Let alone any debunked science. Why don't you post some instead of talking about it? Are you capable? I'll be giving you some references in one moment. So give us one then. Specifically, and tell us what you...

    Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’

    Do you not see the irony here? You carry on about Monbiot and his lack of expertise for a few posts, then pull out the "science has been debunked" garbage. Who debunked it? What journals can we read it in? Here's the facts: - the surface of the Earth is warming, as are the oceans. - the oceans...

    Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’

    It's funny, people have been documenting coldest evers and warmest evers. The ratio in the 50's was 1.09:1 (warm:cold). In the 2000s, it's now up to 2.04:1, a significant increase: Fewer record lows at night time are driving this shift, which by the way is a predictable result of global warming.

    Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’

    As long as there are folks like you Walter who are swayed by the rhetoric of Op-eds, then the zealots denying observable fact will have their echo chamber to bounce more noise around.

    And? This isn't the first time they've had snow...your answer doesn't explain why it should be rain.
