No, no. We all take second fiddle to a truffle farming fictionist who is apparently a world authority on the subject.

Wait, you now admitting AGW science IS biased by funding?

Wow!

In one thread you've admitted the sun does warm the Earth, AND AGW research will demonstrate whatever its funding sources expect it to demonstrate, scientific facts be damned.

Geaux Spidy!

Without knowing the source of the funding, I guess we'll never find out, will we?

"Admitted" it?


You honestly think climate scientists aren't aware the sun warms the Earth? How the frick would the greenhouse effect work without it, Dr. Genius?

No, of course not. We scientists believe the Earth is warmed by nuclear fuel deep within the Earth. The Sun's light simply bounces off the exosphere and goes into space, not warming the Earth at all.

The world's foremost experts on the topic all have phd's in economics.

Even if the man made theory winds up being proven, it's a moot point because you are never going to get 7 or 8 billion people all acting in concert to correct it.

Some people need to stop worrying so much.

Still waiting for one of the AGW acolytes to tell us what the "global" temperature is supposed to be.

Congratulations.

You're very close to the 3rd and final stage of global warming denial.

To re-cap, those stages are

1) The Earth is not warming
2) The Earth is warming but man didn't do it
3) The Earth is warming, man did it, but its too late to do anything.

I can tell you've thought very deeply on the issue.

I'm not really sure I understand the question. What is the scientific meaning of "supposed to be" ?

So how much of the global warming is natural, how much is solar variation and how much is man made?

Nobody can answer this question. Also what about polar ice cap growth can this be seen as a positive sign or not?

let me translate for the stupid people:

If there was a global thermostat, at what temperature should it be set?

I would say you are feigning ignorance, but your posting history indicates it's not an act. So, let me type this slowly so you will understand...

1) AGW/CC acolytes wail and gnash their teeth that the activities of man (CO2) are causing the "global" temperature to rise.

2) Inherent in the hysteria of the above are two assumptions:

A) that there is a normal "global" temperature for the Earth in its equillibrium state: "x"
B) because of man's activities, the "global" temperature is "y"

Neither you, nor any of the other acolytes, can tell us what "x" is.

Oh, and your priests haven't been able to get "y" right yet, despite constantly "revising" the data inputs for their models.

I guess that would depend on the personal preferences of the thermostat setter.

There isn't a "global thermostat"

I don't really see the relevance of your line of questioning.

"Type slowly"?
You do realize, that on a message board like TD.com, the only intellectual deficiency slow typing can help with is that of the writer, right?

I don't think that's true.

I am disappoint.

All this time you've been saying that people are causing the climate change and that changes must happen to reverse it. This implies that people can control the climate, like a global thermostat.

Now you you say, no way Jose to the global thermostat idea.

Which is it bub?

It's just interesting that you refuse to answer these questions with actual statistics. Yet you are so sure that change in weather is man made.

Your lack of facts is astounding.
