    Ecologist Dr. Patrick Moore, co-founder of Greenpeace, warned “I fear a global cooling,” during his keynote address to the Ninth International Conference on Climate Change in Las Vegas on Tuesday. Moore, who left Greenpeace in 1986 because he felt it had become too radical, is the author of “Confessions of a Greenpeace Dropout: The Making of a Sensible Environmentalist.” (Watch climate conference live here)
    Moore noted that a cooling would adversely impact agriculture, and said: “Let’s hope for a little warming as opposed to a little cooling. I would rather it got a little warmer.” (Watch Moore video here at the Heartland Institute event)
    Moore noted that “the U.S. is currently been cooling” and noted that there has been “no global warming for nearly 18 years.” He also mocked the notion that “everything is due to global warming.”
    “If it warms two degrees, hopefully more in Canada in the North…maybe it would be a good thing if it did,” Moore explained.
    Moore noted that carbon dioxide is a trace essential gas in the atmosphere and is not the control knob of the Earth’s climate.
    “CO2 is the most important nutrient for all life on earth,” he noted.
    “There are so many [climate] variables that we can’t control and when you do an experiment you have to control all the variables except the one you are studying if you want to get a clean result. There are even variables we do not even understand that we cannot control,” he said.
    “So it is virtually impossible to think of doing an experiment where we would be able to tweeze out the impact of CO2 versus the hundreds of other variables at work. Which is why you could never make a model that would predict the climate,” he added.
    Moore also took criticized President Barack Obama.
    “The President seems to say it is sufficient to say the ‘science is settled’. It is hollow statement with no content,” Moore noted.
    He also warned that the education system was failing children when it comes to climate change science.
    “Change the way our kids are being taught about this subject because if we don’t there will be a whole generation of people who are just blindly following this climate hysteria,” Moore said.
    “Our children are not taught logic, they are not taught what the scientific method is, and they are taught that carbon dioxide is pollution. They are told it is carbon now as if it were soot,” he added.

    So if it was soot we were emitting, instead of CO2, would that be a problem?
     
  3. your farts and diarrhea are a problem, rectum.
     
  4. So what ? He is one of the sub three percent climate scientist deniers.


    Oh wait, he isn't even a climate scientist. Nevermind.


    You Teadiots are so stupid.
     
  5. Oh wait, neither is John Cook who used to write children's books and now runs the ‘Skeptical Science’ website you worship at the alter of.

    You libturd AGW zealots are so stupid.

    only in your world of the fake consensus where somehow you claim to have a consensus of papers showing man made co2 causing warming but you can't even produce 10.

    Yet we can produce hundreds of papers showing the sun and the tides do cause warming.

     


  7. So you have a problem with science? Why am I not surprised. You have a problem tying your shoes.
     

  8. Yeah ok. Sure jem.

    Actually the consensus is MORE than 97% of peer published climate scientists, but let's not quibble about that few percent paid for by the FF interests or looking for publicity or crazy or scam artists or just plain incompetent boobs.

    BTW. I think I made up the term "Teadiot". Pretty good right?
     
  9. Only a useful idiot like you would "think" the propaganda on SkepticalScience is science.

    71 new papers reported in 2013 demonstrating the Sun controls climate, not man-made CO2
    These papers don't exist according to paid climate propagandist John Cook of SS

    Skeptical Science conspiracy theorist John Cook runs another survey trying to prove that false “97% of climate scientists believe in global warming” meme

    Climategate 3.0: Blogger Threatened for Exposing 97% “Consensus” Fraud
    The 97-percent myth was launched last year by Australian global-warming activist John Cook and the alarmist website, SkepticalScience.com. Responsible scientists and sensible laymen were properly skeptical of the SkepticalScience claims from the get-go, but it took the investigative digging of independent blogger Brandon Shollenberger to expose how Cook was cooking the data.

    Global Warming Alarmists Caught Doctoring '97-Percent Consensus' Claims
    Global warming alarmists and their allies in the liberal media have been caught doctoring the results of a widely cited paper asserting there is a 97-percent scientific consensus regarding human-caused global warming.

  10. The goal of Skeptical Science is to explain what peer reviewed science has to say about global warming. When you peruse the many arguments of global warming skeptics, a pattern emerges. Skeptic arguments tend to focus on narrow pieces of the puzzle while neglecting the broader picture. For example, focus on Climategate emails neglects the full weight of scientific evidence for man-made global warming. Concentrating on a few growing glaciers ignores the world wide trend of accelerating glacier shrinkage. Claims of global cooling fail to realise the planet as a whole is still accumulating heat. This website presents the broader picture by explaining the peer reviewed scientific literature.

    Often, the reason for disbelieving in man-made global warming seem to be political rather than scientific. Eg - "it's all a liberal plot to spread socialism and destroy capitalism". As one person put it, "the cheerleaders for doing something about global warming seem to be largely the cheerleaders for many causes of which I disapprove". However, what is causing global warming is a purely scientific question. Skeptical Science removes the politics from the debate by concentrating solely on the science.
