'warming'...you dont understand what that means do you?...if the warming continues we might reach some of those records temps...the current temps are good enough however in achieving non sustainability going forward...look at the droughts and melting ice....whatever,you conservative twerps will continue espousing gw is a hoax and a conspiracy against free markets.Morons.
The MMGW hypothesis is what we refer to as 'junk science'. I call it a hypothesis because it has not reached the baseline required to be considered a theory. The model put forth has made predictions and those predictions have failed. When your model makes false predictions you have to abandon your model and look elsewhere. This is not happening with the GW crowd. They continue their politically driven quest to use GW to crush the US economy and place restrictions on our everyday lives. Its that simple.
thank god, and the founding fathers, we have elections every 2 years even the ignorant know when they've been taken. all this idiocy can be undone
Quick piece of advice for you. Don't go to your local University Sciences department and start in on this line. You'll quickly get laughed off the grounds. I'm not going to bother correcting your misunderstanding of the empirical method or the philosophy of science. Over the years, I've learned that it's a waste of my time. I've read some of your other posts and although I'm sorry to say it to you, this post tends to support my own (admittedly unscientific) pet theory that the farther right one travels along the political spectrum, the lower the mean IQ of the extremists you'll find out there.
So where's the causation then? If CO2 causes warming, why is it not the warmest on record today? It's been going on for 150 yrs. As another poster on your side of the srgument pointed out, CO2 absorbs long wave IR reflection from the earth. There shouldn't be a lag. How do you know that the temp measurements are accurately given to you by somebody looking for grant money? Why do you believe a politican when he says that global warming is our biggest enemy? Do you trust politicans when they are bolstered by scientists looking for grant money? Why did the cooling period from 1940-1980 get deleted from Al Gore's movie to make the infamous and now discredited "hockey stick" model, and then used by all the climatologists in favor of the whole global warming hypothesis? Where is the mideval warming period on that graph? Where is the Little Ice Age on that graph? Also, how do you know that the ice core readings from Antartica or Vostok are equivalent to latter day measurements for CO2 that use air flask measurements from Mauna Loa? Why not use the air flask measurements from the 1800's? Why do you discredit solar activity as the main driver of global warming? It happens every year - spring, summer, fall, winter...
are you suggesting he has a lower IQ then the mean? I've offered you this advice in the past ... MAKE SOME GOD DAMN SENSE WHEN YOU POST
Why do you think that? There are 6 Nobel Laureate scientists that disagree with the whole global warming hypothesis. Or do you think that Universities are above bending to political winds? Are you that naive?
Take it easy. If you want to know about my views re: global warming, read my posts. The post you're quoting has nothing to do with GW itself, it has to do with the erroneous take on the scientific method described by the member I quoted, and the fact that the far right tends to disdain scientific evidence, except when it supports their theories. The reference to University profs wasn't an appeal to their authority on GW, it was a warning that if you go to them and suggest that scientific modelling is the process of constructing a model, finding problems with it and then throwing it away, you'll get laughed off the grounds. It was a response to this ill-informed statement by the member I quoted That's not how science works. I am well aware of the problems with the GW theories. In addition, I have a better understanding than you of the extent to which our Universities have been hamstrung by PC thinking. Your post sort of exemplifies the concept of 'knee-jerk'. I've read your posts over the years and you didn't strike me as that type. Maybe you're just having a bad day today.
I already know your views about GW. It's just that your post didn't make much sense, and here's why- 1a- you're aware of the failings of the GW crowd, and as you put it, their bending to PC views. GW is a pet theory of the far left. 1b- so then the left doesn't heed scientific evidence. 2a- the far right - religious nuts - do just as you said, they ignore scientific evidence. 2b- But only the far right get selected out as ignoring scientific evidence. Why, when your own beliefs indicate that the far left is equally guilty, especially when this thread is specifically about GW?
