Okay Global Warming believers after you finish paying the Philippines 100 billion dollars for that Global Warming caused typhoon, Africa called they want $200 billion dollars a year.

UN: Africa needs $200 billion a year to fight global warming

The United Nations claims that Africa needs $200 billion a year to adapt to global warming if the planet only warms by two degrees Celsius by 2070. Such costs could soar to $350 billion per year ....
Of course, Brazil and China want free money as well.

Philippine Disaster Fuels Call for Rich Nations to Compensate Poor for Global Warming Losses
For Brazilian envoy Ambassador Jose Antonio Marcondes de Carvalho, it’s time for rich nations to “put your money where your mouth is.” China’s lead negotiator, Su Wei, joined him, saying, “We want to know what the confirmed financial support is starting from 2013.”
Believe that the science is clear?

Pay up then!

Philippines are waiting. Brazil is waiting. China is waiting. If you believe, why are you keeping them waiting?

After all, what is it your ruler says " I think when you spread the wealth around it's good for everybody."

LOL

The irony is that some deniers actually call for further studies of the matter, and that entails money.

More important is that more money is at stake with denialism, as much of manufacturing and food production is geared towards the use of fossil fuels. Hence,

"Climate Risks Have Been Underestimated for the Last 20 Years"

The phenomenon is not difficult to understand: governments rely on businesses for tax revenues, and businesses can only maintain operations and grow given continued use of oil. The bad news is peak oil:

Oh noes! Lions and tigers and peak oil ohh my!

At least you are going from Skeptical Science and John Cook to a more credible alternative in Alternet.

From there, one can look at "Ocean temperature and heat content" and subsequent sections in the page.

That is where the ridiculous measures of temperature and joules (that impressive big number translate into that ridiculous 0.06*C change) come from.

No way you can measure the ocean temperature today with a precision of 0.01*C and claiming you could in the 60's is simply hilarious.

The problem isn't credit, as that can be created readily:

but peak oil combined with global warming:

You can easily look at the scientific studies and policy reports referred to in the articles, if not the interviews and related essays.

For example, check the IEA Outlook 2010 report on global warming and peak oil, articles like those from SciAm:

http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=how-the-ipcc-underestimated-climate-change

assessments from the Pentagon and the CNA, and more.

But the analysis comes from ARGO.
