NOAA: Past Decade Warmest on Record According to Scientists in 48 Countries

[Jaskalas]

Somehow, this THREE-YEAR-OLD article hasn't shaken the consensus on climate change. Go figure.

As yours will not shake ours.

As yours will not shake ours.

This particular article may not shake you opinion, but eventually you'll be shaken. Give it time.

Somehow, this THREE-YEAR-OLD article hasn't shaken the consensus on climate change. Go figure.

Don't you want to save all the skeptiks? I'm sure you could find their e-mail addresses and contact them and explain to them why they are wrong. You don't want them to go to Hell (on earth) do you?


Editing to add anyone who seriously believes the "peer review" and "consensus" claims that get posted to these forums nearly every day should read that report. The link again is http://epw.senate.gov/public/index....ecord_id=84e9e44a-802a-23ad-493a-b35d0842fed8.

You of course realize that with a little work I could put together a post of quotes of hundreds of relevant scientists all saying in effect that MMCC is bad and mankind must do something about it. And since my quotes would out-number yours by a factor of 20 or 50, that would cause you to change your mind, right?

Apparently you do not realize that I could do the same with skepics. Your quotes would not outnumber mine BTW,

"Accredited Climatologists?" Do you mean these people don't carry around little picture IDs with the words "Accredited Climatologist" in their wallets?

What the study DID determine that those who published the greatest number of peer-reviewed articles on climatology - for anyone but you, the very essence of being an "accredited climatologist" - agreed with the IPCC at a rate in excess of 97%.

Now, why don't YOU tell us what "accredited climatologist" means?

You are a Climatologist if you have a degree in Climatology. I even provided the same link that you or sandorski provided me a few months ago.

 

[Jaskalas]

This particular article may not shake you opinion, but eventually you'll be shaken. Give it time.

This decade will see a drop in global temperatures. The only shaking I'll do is when I'm being shaken down by an out of control government fleecing us for tax dollars to "save the planet".

 

[NoWhereM]

Oh, well that's your problem right there. If they posted that link first than only they can use that argument.

...and if it doesn't?

 

[NoWhereM]

...and if it doesn't?

If the government doesn't shake him down I suspect he will be happy.

 

[sandorski]

If the government doesn't shake him down I suspect he will be happy.

..and that about sums it up now doesn't it. He and most Deniers don't really care about the issue beyond whether it might $Cost them. Nevermind that they'll Pay either way.

It's like the Tax/Deficit issue with Bush. They got their Taxes Lowered, but at the Cost of increased Deficits/Debt. Perfectly happy about it too and likely will be until their Taxes will Need to increase even higher than what they were before the Cuts in order to Pay for the Tax Cut.

Short Term thinking is destroying the US.

But Bush?

This is sad, and funny, and irritating all at the same time. When it gets right down to it I think we would all like to see certain changes, one being a transition from petroleum and coal to renewable resources (energy independence). I think depending on how it was structured we could even all agree that the federal goverment should assist in that transition.

But instead of working towards that goal the "green" movement has bought into the global warming/carbon credit fraud even though by now they known it is based on lies and deception. They believe it's okay to lie to people, to decieve them, because it's really for their own good.

I don't believe anyone is dumb enough to still believe the hockey stick chart is real, so really the global warming/carbon credit debate comes down to one question. What makes you think that money taken from you through fraud is going to be used in a way that benefits you?

And one other bone for you to chew on, if the democrats are really the party of the people and are looking out for us why didn't they legalize industrial hemp on January 21st 2009?

Markets can efficiently transition on their own, think about what happened to whale oil and the horse and buggy.

Only if there is Incentive. Cap and Trade is the perfect mechanism for both putting a Price on Carbon, but also to spur the Market to Innovate.

Yes this is because spending was not cut. Unfortunately Bush was a big government republican and not fiscally conservative. But there is no reason taxes should have to be increased, this is typical economic illiterate thinking, you simply drastically cut spending, programs and services. Including laying off government employees. Big government is a failure everywhere it is tried, look at Greece.

This statement makes sense only if you don't understand economics. Government does not spur the market to innovate, it simply forces it to adapt to restrictions it puts on it's ability to be productive.

Cap & Trade Is Not A Market Solution (Robert P. Murphy, Ph.D. Economics)

All competing forms of energy to hydrocarbons are not economically viable, thus your solution is to increase the cost of energy until they become so. This would punish the poor and cripple the economy.

Ridiculous. Greece's biggest problem was shady Accounting. aka, Cooking the Books and outright lying about their fiscal situation ala Enron.

I see you're just another "Big Government Bad" cultist though. Repeating the mantra is easy, but actually finding things to Cut that makes any sense whatsoever is not.

 

[NoWhereM]

Seriously. How could they possibly not have legalized industrial hemp? Think of all the jobs that would have provided. The party of fail.

All competing forms of energy to hydrocarbons are not economically viable, thus your solution is to increase the cost of energy until they become so. This would punish the poor and cripple the economy.

Cap and Trade forces a True Cost onto a Product. What I mean by that is: A Products Price does not always factor in all Costs incurred by that Product. One example would be an Automobile which causes damage to Roadways. When you Buy the Auto, the damage to Roadways is not part of the Price you Pay. Gas Taxes and other such things is where that Cost is recouped and channeled towards Roadway Maintenance.

Likewise, the Cost of Fuel at the pump currently does not include the True Cost of CO2 Emissions. In essence everyone has been using Fossil Fuels at a huge discount for Centuries now. A large part of Fossil Fuels price advantage is due to that factor(not all, but much). Cap and Trade helps ascertain the Market Value of that.

 

[sandorski]

Seriously? You're back to that bullshit again?

Why don't you go Post up more stuff from years ago that was debunked within days of first becoming a controversy?

 

[Poptech]

Ridiculous. Greece's biggest problem was shady Accounting. aka, Cooking the Books and outright lying about their fiscal situation ala Enron.

Again this makes sense only if you don't understand economics. Greece suffers from a bloated bureaucracy and out of control entitlement spending, a picture perfect failure of big government.

I see you're just another "Big Government Bad" cultist though. Repeating the mantra is easy, but actually finding things to Cut that makes any sense whatsoever is not.

Of course big government is bad, I am pro-liberty and economic prosperity. Cutting is easy, start with all entitlements and just about everything but defense and the court system.
