I hardly need to prove myself...

Of course not. But you do need to support your claims, if you want to avoid looking like a missionary priest.

And which claims would that be?

Well for starters, your claim that usememistress775 is willfully ignorant and stupid; your claim that climate alarmism is for the "greater good," your claim that a cap and trade system is "too intellectual for you folk to understand," your claim that the majority of dissenting studies "are done by people who are A) Not climate scientists, or B) completely funded by those who have a monetary interest in disproving the effects humans have on the climate," and your claim that "the sun isn't and has never been the driving factor behind climate change".

Take your time.

Can we add to this?




servantforuse -> RE: why would climate scientists lie? (2/20/2015 8:35:20 PM)

You are correct. It is about the money. They want the money from the U S and they want to give it to every one else.




wittynamehere -> RE: why would climate scientists lie? (2/20/2015 8:36:36 PM)

The answer is too easy - money. You then ask 'but whose money?', and the answer is less easy but still not hard to find. A couple searches will get anybody up to speed on the topic. Not sure why you needed to ask this forum for the answer.

Love how these moronic arguments keep coming back from the dead after they've had their brains blown out. If you want answers to your idiotic arguments, here's a really good place which explains it with links to peer reviewed scientific articles:

http://www.skepticalscience.com

I hate to question your intellectual ability, but I offered no "arguments," only quotes.

And your link doesn't link to anything that "explains" them.

K.




They're quotes of poor arguments which have been debunked, and to link to every page on that website to refute those arguments would result in probably 6+ links, most of which you wouldn't read. I linked to the main page in case you ever actually had a sense of curiosity and wanted to see what the scientific evidence says about your quotes. Thats all.

Yes and you might want to read this for a not-so-blind-adoration review of your beloved blog site:

Everyone is getting paid for their research. The last scientist who only cared about discovering things for the sake of discovery and not selling his/her ideas for money died penniless after living on catfood for years. Without that mentality all of the research is questionable.




Again, then, why would govs. all over the world be paying scientists to lie about climate change?

Have you noticed that every "solution" gives governments more control, and most hurt the west more than other countries.


So what's more hurtful? Water levels rising and displacing thousands or people? Or making a slow transition from fossil fuels to renewables? Gee I wonder...[8|]


Given my previous link as well as this: http://news.investors.com/ibd-editorials/022714-691587-greenpeace-co-founder-says-no-evidence-of-global-warming.htm

Where is your data that even if global warming exists, it's a bad thing?




MrRodgers -> RE: why would climate scientists lie? (2/20/2015 8:50:57 PM)

Science is a search for facts. The naysayers merely and only, go after the messenger...not the science.

Science can't be defeated simply because science is always debated...reviewed and discussed.

The argument that because the mere pursuit of science means it proves nothing, then don't worry about microbes, or aids, or lead, or germs or viruses or vaccinations, or medicine or.....or.....or any possible contamination that science has brought through their experiments an trials and discoveries which have allowed man to live 3 times as long as he did...before science.

Don't believe a word of it...it's all a conspiracy. Now will you all please be quiet and let me get back to making my fucking money ?

Ah! The fine tuned mind. Then you understand that physics can't explain anything is three dimension and that's all you are capable of thinking in. So, you make the universe small to fit your mind and everything is certain. Got ya.


Lol, is this the ever receding god argument all wrapped up in a bow? Humans understand gravity on a three dimensional level, yes. But is there more to gravity than what we perceive? Yes, of course. I know you're trying to appear intelligent by suggesting we dont understand something as mundane as gravity, and by extension, make assumptions that we dont understand things about climate change. But you're completely missing the point. The point I was making was if some moron said gravity didn't exist, we wouldn't give them any shred of legitimacy. Humans experience gravity on a daily basis: the phenomenon of being attracted to the ground. Just as we experience climate change over long stretches of time across the planet.



First off, just so you know, I've worked as an environmental engineer for over thirty years. I actually have Phd level environmental people how work for me. I can tell from your statement that you're more inculcated rather than educated. I think the point being missed is by you, but I've already stated that so I won't belabor it. So do this for me. Without using Google define for me "albedo"


Albedo is a company in Singapore. Investment and metals if I recall correctly. [:D]

First off, most of what you've said is leftist myth. For instance your 97%. Thousands of papers are written on climate. Of those written, something like 37 papers made a comment one way or another on it being man caused. Leftist took those 37 papers and said 97% all agree on something so the science is settled. What I would ask you is, why do you believe any science is settled. We're still arguing how many planets exist in our solar system.


Try getting your facts straight.... You must have missed the other 13,913 peer reviewed papers supporting climate change.....

How many planets exist near to our sun has....NOTHING...to do with climate change.

You say the oil industry is dumping money to scientists to disput global warming so those scientists shouldn't be trusted. Do you know how much money the government is throwing at scientists to prove there is global warming. By your preposition, your entire argument is moot.


Your wrong, and those 'scientists' in the oil industry are wrong too. Here is why...

When you run an experiment using the scientific method, there is a set of criteria to follow. You form a hypothesis explaining what you think is true. Then develop a set of experiments to test that hypothesis. Followed by collecting data with those experiments. Then looking at the data and forming a conclusion. Finally you publish your work for...PEER REVIEW.

Other scientists take that information and run through the experiments. When they obtain different results from the 'oil industry' scientists, they run the experiments again and again. Unfortunately, their information keep coming up the same, and different from the 'oil industry' scientist. So they contact the 'oil industry' scientist and explain their results. They inquire how the 'oil industry' scientist conducted every aspect of their experiments. The reason is to figure out if the other scientist goofed somewhere in the process. What ends up happening is the scientist figures out that the only way to arrive at the 'oil industry' scientist's conclusion is to do something 'unscientific-like': tamper with the data. Which is something no legitimate scientist would do.

Let me put it another way. A creationist 'scientist' will leave out of their data, anything that disproves the Holy Bible. Most scientists do not leave out things that would disprove climate change. If anything, they would enjoy the idea of explaining their results to the scientific community. That you view scientists like they are religious people; fanatical to 'The Cause', is your problem.

Frankly, most of the senior climate scientist used to be nuclear physisists. When the Berlin Wall went down, so did their government funding. They are not going to let that happen again.


Really? Like those biologists whom where born in the USA, lived in the USA all their lives, and their career is based in the USA? There are quite a number of biologists, zoologists, marine biologists, and botanist in the USA. All these people, according to you, were once nuclear physicists from the other side of the Berlin Wall?

Do you possess enough intelligence to understand how....DUMB....you look with this statement?

That you feel this is some huge conspiracy....REALLY....shows the depth of your mental problems. You have no evidence supporting your viewpoints. You have no facts supporting your viewpoint. You have crazy bullshit that comes from conservative talk radio hosts that dont have a clue about what they babble on the subject matter.

People have been finding temperature data in the models that's been fudged for years. It's just happened again. So, say, you're one guy at NASA collectin temperature data and you fudge it (as is actually being found now) and then everyone else uses it...does that mean all climate scientists are fudging data?


This is a silly argument that doesn't even help your overall case on the subject matter. What it does show to people is that your really not aware of the subject matter you speak on. The question becomes begged: What is your scientific level of understanding? Not of Climate Change, but of science itself? If we were to sit you down with a long exam. With questions from 1st grade to Ph.D. level; where about would the questions be 'to hard to answer' intelligently and informed?

I suspect 'high school' and from 'decades ago' would be the likely answers. Much has changed in science and how scientists look for information on the reality around them from decades ago. Perhaps taking a few classes at the local community college on science would help you understand why your thoughts here are silly. I suggest take something like 'intro to science' before jumping into Chemistry, Physics, and Biology. The reason is, that Climate Change is an advanced concept. Science is like mathematics; it builds upon stuff you previously learned so that once learned, your ready for the information that comes next.

I can go on with the errors in your statement, but I'm guessing it won't matter to you.


I could list out the OP's errors. The difference is, mine would be based upon science and knowledge of science. Yours would be based upon....something. Whether one could call it 'science' or just 'babble' remains to be seen.

Maybe you should slow down, and think things through....

People that rush things, tend to make mistakes. Plenty of mistakes. Some of those mistakes can be costly. So if your desiring something to be done well, wouldn't it make sense to slow down, take some time, and make sure things are correct and in order? Of course you would.

Man made global warming is a myth and a lie.


You got some evidence to support this notion? You know...scientific....evidence? There are plenty of deniers that spew all sorts of bullshit on an hourly basis. Nearly all of it shows a complete lack of knowledge on the basics of science, let along an advance subject like Climate Change. I suppose you got a few 'scientific evidence' for Gravity. Its just a theory too....

(Actually, a theory is a high level definition of a concept in science, rather than the layman's terms of 'theory).

All these folks want you to believe is that they want to find alternative sources of energy for our finite supply of oil, just so we can have clean air, and clean water and a future. They want you to believe that alternative sources of energy will create new jobs, build a better economy at the same time saving the planet.


So to you, finding additional methods of power = bad? Finding new sources of energy is a good thing. Most sane, intelligence and educated people agree that fuel sources that are finite will eventually run out. That's why they are called 'finite'. So by switching systems over to sources that are not so finite, would be a good idea. Those finite sources of fuel are still there if we should have need of them. Just because people have their energy supplied by a nuclear reactor, doesn't mean they cant burn some wood and grill food, does it? I know plenty of people that grill food. Their grill is not connected to the grid.

Creating new technology can and historically, does create jobs. How many jobs have been created thanks to the Internet? According to your 'viewpoint', none. I think reality begs to differ on your viewpoint.....

I love it when you post crap! 9/10 times, I can find holes in your 'argument' within five minutes of research. This time around, took less time.

Let's start with your 'source': Master Resource. At first it looks like a conservative blog trying to attack Skeptical Science. I'm going to take an educated guess that you went to Google and typed in "Skeptical Science Debunked" and took the first thing you found without a second thought. When I say 'took the first thing', I mean you didn't bother to....READ...the information.

The author is the only person in the group at Master Resource that has an actual background in science. While all the others have some degree of experience within the energy industry, its from the perspective of economics and capitalism. The author made a number of interesting comments. But those comments had one problem to them. I'm guessing you didnt bother to....FULLY...read the article, did you?

Check that date: August 13, 2010 What year is it, Creative?

Generally when such blogs are created, as a matter of professional courtesy, the author will send the information and link off to the other site's owner(s). Again, I'm taking an educated guess this is what happened here. As the information Mr. Droz expresses has been fixed and corrected on the site.

Its just amusing that you attack a concept in 2015 using something attacking the site from five years previously, without giving any evidence that the same stuff is going on today.

Ever been to Western Texas? Years ago it was decent agriculture land. A place one could grow good crops for sale to market. In recent years things have dried up considerably. More and more the landscape looks like a wasteland or dare I say it: a desert. Scientists suggest this is one of the expected outcomes to climate change. Since you seem to disagree with climate change, perhaps you could explain to me, using science, as to why this is happening? And ways we could improve the situation?

You need data on climate change? Go visit a university library and ask for information on climate change research. Then sit down and read for the next 37 years. That'll cover 1980-2001. Then twice that should get you up to 2015....

The claims and counter claims from both sides must be bewildering for non-technical people like myself. Who is biased and who is unbiased? How on earth might a non-tech person distinguish? How to discriminate between the instant armchair experts and people of genuine expertise? There is one study that can reasonably be seen as unbiased.

The BEST study was conducted at Berkeley University in CA, funded largely by sceptics such as the Koch Foundation, and led by Robert Mueller, a Physics Professor with a long history of criticising climate change science and a dissenter from the pro-climate change consensus. It was hoped that the study would establish an incontrovertible scientific basis for climate change scepticism. When the data was analysed and the results published, the data was found to confirm the existing (pro-) climate change consensus, the very opposite of what the authors and funders hoped for. It is for this very reason - the results disproving the hopes of the sceptics who funded and carried out the study - that the study and its results are credible. Had there been any bias it is reasonable to expect that it would have influenced the results in the opposite direction to those the study found.

Those people looking for a reliable indicator in the mass of claim and counter claim will find a few minutes checking out the wiki page on the study rewarding. Here's the link again:

As someone else noted, more than yours.

2010...2015. What difference the year that your blog site, written by a non-scientist in support of only man-made global warming and yet misleadingly titled Skeptical Science, was questioned by an actual scientist?

What was it you had a problem with joether? The fact that he offered logical arguments to Mr. Cooks' "119 points"? The fact that he calls the elitism of the AGW supporters what it is?

You love to go around claiming that you shoot down everybody's arguments. First, putting up walls of text supporting your viewpoint does not shoot down somebody else's argument when they bring dissenting viewpoints...it's an argument, not a win. The fact that your viewpoint is supported by theirs means nothing, especially when facts are also brought to bear from the other side. The reason people quit arguing with you joether is that you resort to name-calling and insults. The reason you're a partisan is that...despite your claim of citing "neutral sources"...all you ever bring is left wing sources.
