  2. Knock yourself out. Please. If all these sci orgs say it's from man do really "think" the climatologists would have a different opinion? Good thing you fly jets and don't have to use your brain much.

  3. And what does that have to do with the fact that man is causing warming of the plane? Do try to focus on one thing at a time.

  4. Everything. You're busy screaming at the top of your lungs about AGW, yet you do nothing in your life to reduce your carbon footprint. You're as much a hypocrite as those you idolize who fly around the world in their private jets pushing the AGW carbon tax agenda. http://dailysurge.com/2015/01/pollution-pimp-pharrell-williams-wants-fight-climate-change/

    Pharrell Williams doesn't give a shit about AGW, just like you don't. Pharrell Williams looks at this as an opportunity to make another buck. You are just an idiot who likes to argue.

  5. A 2010 paper in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States (PNAS) reviewed publication and citation data for 1,372 climate researchers and drew the following two conclusions:

    (i) 97–98% of the climate researchers most actively publishing in the field support the tenets of ACC (Anthropogenic Climate Change) outlined by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and (ii) the relative climate expertise and scientific prominence of the researchers unconvinced of ACC are substantially below that of the convinced researchers.[118]


    found that of the papers taking a position on the cause of global warming, over 97% agreed that humans are causing it (Cook 2013). The scientific authors of the papers were also contacted and asked to rate their own papers, and again over 97% whose papers took a position on the cause said humans are causing global warming.


    “...the debate on the authenticity of global warming and the role played by human activity is largely nonexistent among those who understand the nuances and scientific basis of long-term climate processes”. (Doran 2009). In other words, more than 97% of scientists working in the disciplines contributing to studies of our climate, accept that climate change is almost certainly being caused by human activities.

    We should also consider official scientific bodies and what they think about climate change.There are no national or major scientific institutions anywhere in the world that dispute the theory of anthropogenic climate change. Not one.

    In the field of climate science, the consensus is unequivocal: human activities are causing climate change.

  7. That's not 97% of scientists. That's 97% of scientists whose studies were cherry picked. There's nothing scientific about the '97%' number.

    300 years ago, 99.999999999% of scientists believed that the sun revolved around the earth.

    Oh, the 97% Retarded Parrot is back...

  9. You are right. It is actually greater than 97% of the climatologists. Any common sense and objective look at it would tell a rational intelligent person that. Of course that leaves out deniers.

    Actually the burden of proof now resides with those that deny that a rise of 40% of an important greenhouse gas will cause temps to rise. It's absurd to think it won't.

  10. Use unadjusted temperature data. It shows the earth is not warming, nor has it been warming for the last two decades. Funny how one can 'prove' the earth is warming by simply adjusting (warming) the raw data.


    As for the poll which this thread is based on, I just went through the entire poll. It's a push poll, designed to steer respondents to agreeing that global warming is manmade and must be stopped through carbon taxes. I could design a poll to achieve the exact opposite result. But this poll is from Stanford/NY Times so of course it's biased.
