You know if they wrote grant studies to research warming it got funded? Not so much for cooling.


That's just an insanely ignorant comment. Back it up with a nice set of facts. Show us all where research was systematically denied because someone wrote 'cooling' instead of 'warming' on their grant request.

We have documented climate change over 1000's of years of data and all of it was due to naturally occurring events not related to man.......yet, man is now responsible for the events occurring today? I don't think so.


The changes measured since the Industrial Revolution do not follow historical variations. The natural fluctuations in our climate do not explain what we are experiencing now. You need to drop the word 'so' from your last sentence.

I'm no scientist, but aren't hypotheses being compared w/ empirical data a part of "science"? If all of these scientists know what's going on, then why are they so spectacularly wrong....all on one side of the fence?

Furthermore, they look to be getting worse at their "science" as the political rhetoric increases.

Only data since the year 2000 apparently.

Climate change is real. We had an ice age and came out of it.

No humans contributed to the warming. What happened?

Shouldn't they be MORE accurate since 2000? IOW, you believe science has gotten better since then, right?

Because the number and quality of weather stations have been changed. The exact time of day and other conditions are captured automatically now and databased. We have no idea if the weather station covering Los Angeles in 1875 was taking readings from a thermometer in direct sunlight, or near an man made heatsource, and the list goes on - if we're lucky, we might get a notation of the time, perhaps cloud cover and that's it.


??? How does that do anything to explain how putting a number in a computer makes it better?

The locations have changed and, to keep it in L.A., it does make a difference as to whether (pardon the pun) you take the temperature reading in Santa Monica, Pasadena or Palo Verdes.



There is more than one temperature reading taken in that area. Come on man.

Shouldn't they be getting better and not worse? And, are you asserting that's an insignificant timeframe? Why, if so?

Monotonically? No.

No. I'm asserting it isn't the only time frame.

Cool. So it might have been natural CO2? But they have no clue where it came from?

So these natural CO2 levels were so prevalent, they thawed the earth. Without humans....

Hmmmm.....

Yes. But you don't have to worry about man made CO2. The Earth knows the difference. It will only warm in response to naturally produced CO2.

Spidey, thanks for taking the time to answer my first question. Now, can you address these issues:

How do we know the CO2 levels are any different than the end of the last ice age?

I mean how do we REALLY know?

Yeah, nothing can happen to 20,000 year old air bubbles right? I mean, even if they are that old.

Global warming "scientists" being WAY off in their "science" isn't an issue?

The "science" getting WORSE as time goes on isn't an issue?

So, if these scientists know exactly what they are talking about, how can their hypotheses be so incredibly wrong...all on the side of alarmism?

Please don't try to deflect again.
