http://www.economist.com/node/21533360 A new analysis of the temperature record leaves little room for the doubters. The world is warming FOR those who question whether global warming is really happening, it is necessary to believe that the instrumental temperature record is wrong. That is a bit easier than you might think. There are three compilations of mean global temperatures, each one based on readings from thousands of thermometers, kept in weather stations and aboard ships, going back over 150 years. Two are American, provided by NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), one is a collaboration between Britain’s Met Office and the University of East Anglia’s Climate Research Unit (known as Hadley CRU). And all suggest a similar pattern of warming: amounting to about 0.9°C over land in the past half century. To most scientists, that is consistent with the manifold other indicators of warming—rising sea-levels, melting glaciers, warmer ocean depths and so forth—and convincing. Yet the consistency among the three compilations masks large uncertainties in the raw data on which they are based. Hence the doubts, husbanded by many eager sceptics, about their accuracy. A new study, however, provides further evidence that the numbers are probably about right. more info at the economist link above

I have heard people arguing over the causes of global warming but I have never heard anyone claim that there was no change taking place. I would say that the fact that there were glaciers where I now live is proof enough of that.

They haven't been in Northern West Canada or Alaska, if they think the planet hasn't been warming up. Hard to deny what you can see with your own eyes.

Once again, who exactly is denying the climate is changing? The debate is whether or not Man is causing the change.

mnottertail -> RE: Climate change The heat is on (10/21/2011 11:26:09 AM)
Is that statement considered true by you (and nobody else) due to the results of a Rasmussen Poll?

Pretty sure most of the GOP presidentail candidates deny the climate is changing. Why yes they do http://www.npr.org/2011/09/07/140071973/in-their-own-words-gop-candidates-and-science

IMO he's talking about man caused climate change, and to paraphrase Tazzy from another thread... "One man's opinion proves that every conservative believes the same as Hannity?"

Hillwilliam -> RE: Climate change The heat is on (10/21/2011 12:27:31 PM)
Sorry, Rob but if you want me to put up several by Beck, Hannity, Cavuto, Doocy and several others they actually claim that things are NOT getting warmer period and there are claims that things are actually getting cooler. If you want em, I can put em here or send em on the other side.

Scientific Consensus: A long list of individual scientists and scientific societies, including the National Academy of Sciences, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration have released statements in recent years affirming a growing consensus that the globe is warming and human activity is to blame. "Observations throughout the world make it clear that climate change is occurring, and rigorous scientific research demonstrates that the greenhouse gases emitted by human activities are the primary driver." — Statement on climate change from 18 scientific associations Huntsman: I believe in evolution and trust scientists on global warming. Call me crazy. — Twitter, Aug. 18, 2011 The minute that the Republican Party becomes the ... anti-science party, we have a huge problem. We lose a whole lot of people that would otherwise allow us to win the election in 2012. — ABC News' "This Week," Aug. 21, 2011 Romney: I don't speak for the scientific community, of course. But I believe the world's getting warmer. I can't prove that, but I believe based on what I read that the world is getting warmer. And No. 2, I believe that humans contribute to that ... so I think it's important for us to reduce our emissions of pollutants and greenhouse gases that may well be significant contributors to the climate change and the global warming that you're seeing. — Reuters, June 3, 2011

NewOCDaddy -> RE: Climate change The heat is on (10/21/2011 1:43:29 PM)
People who belive in phony bearded men in the sky believing in phony science. Makes sense. At least Romney knows not to make economic policy on the basis of either.

And even sent some of his dogs up to Obamas EPA. Thanks for pointing out the obvious, with your totally incorrect posts, I only need to see what you post to know the opposite is likely true, and quite easily demonstrated.
