Masta808 -> RE: Climate change The heat is on (10/26/2011 6:53:22 PM)
quote: ORIGINAL: outhere69 quote: ORIGINAL: Masta808 WRONG Rush Limbaugh is right. Volcanoes do more to cause Global Warming than humans. Thats why Hawaii is the hottest place on Earth. I know I live here. How do you figure? There are South Sea island a lot closer to the Equator, and a hell of a lot hotter than Hawai'i. Just as an aside, while 0.9C is commonly cited, the Arctic's warmed by 3C or so. It's hammered Alaska, with softening of the tundra (tough on the underground "freezers" people had in the permafrost), foundations sinking, relocation of villages due to beach erosion (from lack of shore-fast ice), disruption of whale/walrus hunts, etc. The ice roads in the polar North American continent are melting earlier every year. It don't bode well for places like Prudhoe Bay! So you saying Rush DIDNT say that volcanoes add to Global Warming?

provfivetine -> RE: Climate change The heat is on (10/31/2011 8:16:04 PM)
This is an extremely complex topic, and I find it absolutely hilarious that there are so many 'experts' on this issue. Admittedly, I know nothing about this subject. For the record, not everyone who denies climate change is unqualified to speak on the matter. Richard Lindzen, meteorology professor at MIT, is no supporter and argues that global warming is just climate alarmism. I'm willing to bet that he knows more than all you amateurs. http://scienceandpublicpolicy.org/images/stories/papers/originals/co2_report_july_09.pdf

If the "tract" you're referring to is the PDF file linked, then I think you need to address the many sources that are cited therein. Smearing the data and references wholesale because Monckton's name appears at the top as Editor does not recommend giving your comments any serious consideration. quote: ORIGINAL: DomKen The Lindzen and Choi article he claims to have pulled the data from is the subject of very harsh criticism for faulty analysis as well Your link offers these "harsh" observations of the "faulty" analysis: It will take a little time to assess the issues that have been raised (and these papers are unlikely to be the last word), but it is worth making a couple of points about the process. First off, LC09 was not a nonsense paper – that is, it didn’t have completely obvious flaws that should have been caught by peer review (unlike say, McLean et al, 2009 or Douglass et al, 2008). Even if it now turns out that the analysis was not robust, it was not that the analysis was not worth trying, and the work being done to re-examine these questions is a useful contributions to the literature – even if the conclusion is that this approach to the analysis is flawed. For anyone interested, which won't include you of course, here is more on the findings: Lindzen on negative climate feedback K.

DomKen -> RE: Climate change The heat is on (11/1/2011 6:10:34 AM)
Fact, Lindzen paper claimed GW would be 1C by 2080, total including what has already happened. Fact, the global average temp is already up more than 1C. Now I'm no climatologist, and neither is Lindzen he's a weather forcaster, but predicting 1C rise total by 2080 and being wrong amount the amount of temp rise that has already occured makes Lindzen analysis just plain wrong. The criticism of the paper was the first published one. Do you honestly expect me to provide all of them to you? Learn to use google and stop being such a joke.

Only liberals truly think al gore is a noted climatologist. Like anything else, follow the money. Who funds whom and what do they support? True scientific method encourages criticism and does not brand it as the enemy. Check out the relationship of volcanic activity and sun spots on climate. Do your own research. It isn't hard.

quote: ORIGINAL: Lucylastic http://www.economist.com/node/21533360 A new analysis of the temperature record leaves little room for the doubters. The world is warming Not to respond to the original post in particular, but to the broad subject: I find it somewhat troublesome that the issue of global warming (or not) has come to be effectively co-opting the concern of human intrusion upon the environment overall. CO2 emissions are but one of the myriad interactions between humans and the rest of nature. Let's assume, for sake of argument, that we can't get a definitive grasp on the emissions re affect on global temperature change. Now let's consider that we also don't have a firm grasp on the effect of species dying out due to impact of human expansion. Every plant and every critter participates in the feedback mechanism of the planet, but many species have died off long before humans came along. And consider that we don't have the financial recources to assess the impact of the wide variety of man made chemicals, solvents, refined fuel, drugs, etc. that are either leached into the water table or unceremoniously dumped into the river or the lake or the oceans. My one year of Geology classes has me more worried about the other aspects, especially the water, because of the potential greater immediate and more direct impact on both humans and nature overall than is the case with emissions into the air. The danger with all the focus on global warming (or not) is that if we consider that we don't have either the financial or intellectual resources to answer such a question with absolute certainty, and as some are insisting that we take no measures to change our interaction with the planet whatsoever with out such definitive 'proof,' it's only a small step to then just throw our hands up and say "f*ck it, we'll just dump whatever we want into the water, animals and plants have died off before, haven't they? what about it?"

"Only liberals truly think al gore is a noted climatologist." Only a complete dumbass would ever say such a thing as that. Like anything else, follow the money; check out the relationship between oil services companies' CEOs as vice president and hundreds of thousands of civilian deaths and sharp increase in terrorism and domestic national debt. Do your own research. It isn't hard. (OK, I take that last one back in the case of the poster above. Obviously, thinking presents quite an obstacle in this case). Check out the relationship between complete dumbassedness and ever declining water quality. Reading your own posts would actually constitute good research on the dumbassedness part.
