So not only is all the AGW science the only good science available, but it is now "fact"!


Yep. You are a data dodger.

And a gigantic blow hard with a big f*#king mouth.

Coming from one that is totally enslaved to the material chains of the 9-5 office cubicle and the constant whims of his spouse, don't mean shet.

And I guess one alternative is to BE LIKE THE CHIEF.


I'm sure people are lining up early just to be like you. LOL.

Your data stinks of hypocrisy. And demands that I accept or we will die.

Says the hyporcite in CHIEF. LOL!

Your AGW data stinks of hypocrisy and self loathing. It allows no other science than it's own kind to speak and prevail. Worse, it demands that I accept or we will die.

For those of you trying to make sense of what he just said, allow me to translate it for you:


Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. Blah, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.

How much C02 is your office building pouring into the atmosphere as we speak.

Too much.

Chief, you and I have NOT engaged in name calling.

I am asking you, respectfully, to refute and/or discredit the scientific findings behind CC.

I know that you stand opposed to that science, but please make your case exactly, specifically, why that particular science is flawed.

Thank you

The two post above yours purely exemplify why I and so many others do not want anything to do with this AGW science.

Were you thinking of "WE" when you last put the key into the ignition, turned it over, fired up the fossil fuel burning pistons and vrooooooooom, off you went. Adding that much more C02 to the atmosphere that is going to kill us all.

There sure is a lot of we here. But the folks claiming all this weism are just as much to blame than the next guy. In some cases, are the worse offenders out there.

Speak for yourself, bud. We know you don't give a damn, and you feel entirely justified in driving a big truck.

So be it. You've staked your claim.

But don't speak for me, or label all of us who believe the science as accurate and predictive as "hypocrites". Because if you do so, you're not only flat out wrong, but purposefully so. And I know you really want to be right, so... stick to what you know - your own behaviour.

Why do you guys even try to seriously discuss this issue with blow hards like the Chief? It's just a frustrating waste of time and energy.

He basically just ignore or dodges any fact or inquiry he doesn't like then fesses up that he doesn't give a rats ass about it anyway because of some kind of great spirit or something or whatever in the sky.

Good point.

One answer:

For the same reason that most online debate happens: the assumption that you're not only talking to the one person you're responding to, but also to myriad others, some posting, some lurking.

No one else is reading and lurkers don't care. Its just a circle jerk.

T'ain't true.

It's not a circle jerk because I have learned a LOT by the various folks posting. The Chief, the blow-hard that he might be, as gotten others to post some really viable stuff here. If it were just a one-sided chorus, then maybe nobody would care to bury the claims of the deniers.

As it stands, I now have some solid reasoning (and science) behind why I believe the warming is, to a good extent, caused by mankind ourselves.

As far as reading what The Chief has to say--I long ago began the process of scrolling through his narrow-minded hot air.

Al Gore’s Cultists,The Warmists, Now Have A Prayer To Chant

http://www.mizozo.com/world/12/2009/15/copenhagen-prayer.html

This was really the only thing that the Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW) were still lacking. Al Gore’s apocalyptic cultists already have the blind faith, strict dogma, and holier-than-thou attitudes. All they were lacking was prayer.

I want to see the FACTS that REFUTE the below:

NOT an opinion, but a direct refutation of this:


Global warming is the current rise in the average temperature of Earth's oceans and atmosphere and its projected continuation. The scientific consensus is that global warming is occurring and was initiated by human activities, especially those that increase concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, such as deforestation and burning of fossil fuels.[2][3] This finding is recognized by the national science academies of all the major industrialized countries and is not rejected by any scientific body of national or international standing.[4][5][6][A]

Scientists directly measured the global surface temperature increase during the 20th century at about 0.74°C (1.33°F).[7][A] Potential future warming is projected using computer models of the climate system and hypothetical amounts of greenhouse gas emissions for possible future worlds, published in 2000.[8] Actual emissions since 2000 have equaled or exceeded the "A2 scenario", except for small dips during two global recessions.[8][9][10] According to the 2007 report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the "best estimate" of future warming for the A2 scenario is 3.4°C (6.1°F) by 2100, with a likely range from 2.0-5.4°C (3.6-9.7°F).[7][11]

An increase in global temperature will cause sea levels to rise and will change the amount and pattern of precipitation, probably including expansion of subtropical deserts.[12] Warming is expected to be strongest in the Arctic and would be associated with continuing retreat of glaciers, permafrost and sea ice. Other likely effects of the warming include more frequent occurrence of extreme weather events including heatwaves, droughts and heavy rainfall events, species extinctions due to shifting temperature regimes, and changes in agricultural yields. Warming and related changes will vary from region to region around the globe, though the nature of these regional changes is uncertain.[13] In a 4°C world, the limits for human adaptation are likely to be exceeded in many parts of the world, while the limits for adaptation for natural systems would largely be exceeded throughout the world. Hence, the ecosystem services upon which human livelihoods depend would not be preserved.[14]

"Shet"?

You said it, not me...

Roy Spencer
..
Spencer and the "Interfaith Stewardship Alliance"
Spencer is listed as a "scientific advisor" for an organization called the "Interfaith Stewardship Alliance" (ISA). According to their website, the ISA is "a coalition of religious leaders, clergy, theologians, scientists, academics, and other policy experts committed to bringing a proper and balanced Biblical view of stewardship to the critical issues of environment and development."


http://www.desmogblog.com/roy-spencer

Opposition to evolution and embrace of "intelligent design"
Spencer has been an active in advocating Intelligent Design over evolution, and he argues that its teaching should be mandatory in schools[10]. Working with the Interfaith Stewardship Alliance, Spencer has been part of an effort to advocate environmental policy that is based on a "Biblical view" rather than science. As a defender of the pseudoscience of "Intelligent Design" creationism, Spencer has asserted that the scientific theory of evolution is really just a kind of religion.[11]


http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Roy_Spencer

Spencer is a proponent of intelligent design as the mechanism for the origin of species.[25] On the subject, Spencer wrote in 2005, "Twenty years ago, as a PhD scientist, I intensely studied the evolution versus intelligent design controversy for about two years. And finally, despite my previous acceptance of evolutionary theory as 'fact,' I came to the realization that intelligent design, as a theory of origins, is no more religious, and no less scientific, than evolutionism. . . . In the scientific community, I am not alone. There are many fine books out there on the subject. Curiously, most of the books are written by scientists who lost faith in evolution as adults, after they learned how to apply the analytical tools they were taught in college."[25] In The Evolution Crisis, a compilation of five scientists who reject evolution, Spencer states: "I finally became convinced that the theory of creation actually had a much better scientific basis than the theory of evolution, for the creation model was actually better able to explain the physical and biological complexity in the world... Science has startled us with its many discoveries and advances, but it has hit a brick wall in its attempt to rid itself of the need for a creator and designer."[26]

But WAIT!

I thought we were not to involve higher powers and creationism.

Surely we all agree this debate is about science versus science.

And that means no "agenda" of disproving evolution, promoting god stuff.

Just plain old scientific method obtained FACTS versus scientific method obtained refuting facts.

Right?
