Global Warming The debbil made me do it

...the belief that virtually all the active geo-scientists in the world... Who's telling you about this consensus? Only someone with an incomplete understanding of science demands "proof" in that way. And this proof that is demanded is never defined. Not at all. I'll even settle for a realistic theory (like Darwin's) with real data to demonstrate it without needing a lot of assumptions to make the result come out in a predetermined way. Oh, I seriously doubt I could budge you on this issue. If you've already convinced yourself that communists are manipulating the world's scientists to trick you, you are way too far gone. "Sanity is not to be without fantasy, but to know reality, and remember the difference." - Clive James Hehe. You're funny. Truly, you brought a smile to my day. You're just proving that nobody likes a skeptic - regardless of the skeptic's position.

These don't help you any more than using http://junkscience.com would help me convince you of the fallacy of your belief in AGW. Invalid comparison. junkscience is run by a lobbyist with a documented history of creating disinformation in the service of tobacco, chemical and oil corporations. Although Milloy frequently represents himself as an expert on scientific matters, he is not a scientist himself. He has never published original research in peer-reviewed scientific journals. You may disagree with the scientists on RealClimate, but their reputations in their profession are intact despite years of slander (against Mann, in particular) by people like Milloy. |

I'm learning more -- such as -- your guys are pure, unsullied by interests, while anyone who dares proffer contrary data must be a minion of the evil capitalists... I admire your expertise in the resorting to the ad hominem argument. OK, done for now. heading outside to chop down a tree and burn it for heat. Dan |

You're just proving that nobody likes a skeptic - regardless of the skeptic's position. "Dare not question what we tell you, heretic!" Thats not the way it is at all. The only difference between your position and the position of the intelligent design adherents is that you're probably not invested in having to believe in divine creation but you do have a major investment in the other. IOW you are starting from a political position in regards ecological damage. Science demands you go where the data leads you. You try and lead it and you just end up blind. Bertie |

Because that proof has been demanded and is unavailable, the AGW crowd trots out the Precautionary Principle - "just in case we're right." (And no, I don't think taking hugely expensive "precautions" is worthwhile without good cause.) Well said. All cherry picked to support a position. Bertie |

I've already posted a list of the major professional scientific organizations which have issued position papers acknowledging the fact of anthropogenic climate change. Do you have an alternate list?

I'll even settle for a realistic theory (like Darwin's) with real data to demonstrate it without needing a lot of assumptions to make the result come out in a predetermined way. You sound just like a creationist. There are mountains of data and hundreds (thousands?) of peer reviewed research papers supporting the science behind AGW. Oh, I seriously doubt I could budge you on this issue. If you've already convinced yourself that communists are manipulating the world's scientists to trick you, you are way too far gone.

You're just proving that nobody likes a skeptic - regardless of the skeptic's position. "Dare not question what we tell you, heretic!" Don't give yourself airs. If you were a true skeptic, you wouldn't fall for crap like the "scientists were all hysterical about global cooling in the '70s" argument, or even worse, the "CO2 is a tiny part of the atmosphere" argument. A very little checking on your part would have revealed to you that you were being bull****ted. |
