re: My thesis on AGW with quotes from the 97%

I cannot form an opinion on this till I hear his side.

I did not post this to argue with true believers. I simply posted it as a tool to help people to spread the truth.

I don't know what percentage of global warming or climate change is caused by man. I'm not arguing that none of it is. I am just tired of the lies.

Without taking a side on the science, the AGW-as-state-control narrative has always struck me as needlessly complex. The state has numerous ways to increase it's power, ways that are tried and true and don't depend on the populace exhibiting an as-yet untested willingness to mitigate a far-off ecological crisis. War hawking, of course. Ginning up economic crises. Exploiting ethnic tensions. All of these can and have been used in the past to attain near-total control by governments in history. And I don't buy for a moment we're somehow "too sophisticated" for those methods such that we need a couple decades of scientists making fancy charts. If anything giving your populace that kind of long consideration period is counterproductive.

it supports the idea that cosmic rays affect the climate and that climate sensitivity is low. This means that part of the 20th century [warming] should be attributed to the increased solar activity and that 21st century warming under a business as usual scenario should be low (about 1°C).”

This is(or was) basic high school science that I learned years ago.

Has the education system been degraded that much?

Kids today can tell us about social issue like gay marriage, drug legalization...

I fear for the future of our nation, I truly do.

Again, 97% of scientists who agreed with the man-made global warming, agree with global warming. Not 97% of all scientists.

Statistics are easily manipulated when you hand pick the pool you are surveying. You should be ashamed it's not 100%.
