How To Be A Global Warming Sceptic

[mhaze]

The Inhofe reference makes it generically all about 'Murrica. Your personal contribution was explicitly all about 'Murrican politics. No doubt this looms large on your horizons, but you'll understand that TrueSceptic and I (amongst others) have different horizons. Because we're foreigners, or whatever.

Capel, batting your usual percentages....Umm....No, it wasn't all about America. Ye gots yer share of the dumbest of the dumber.
​

I include again Inhofe, one NOT so utterly clueless as those you advocate, those whose beady eyed, two brain celled Warmer-visin dictates this moment in time, to raise gas and energy prices.

So many links, so few (or no) actual peer reviewed references...

This is Inhofe blaming the weather channel for the global warming conspiracy. Of course, it is not big oil that has the money, it is NSF funded scientists and the weather channel.

[TrueSceptic]

Not only does Roy Spencer repeat the disgusting lie about DDT but he even has the nerve to accuse anyone who refutes that lie of the equivalent of holocaust denial.

Another example of DDT propaganda. Just look at the figures here! 14 billion cases and 97 million deaths!

Spencer lived a considerable number of years in Africa, and is likey to be very accurate on a subject like malaria. "Been there, done that."

And soooo cut-and-paste. It's the font that's the giveaway. How can people not realise that ?

It's like grapeshot, but with actual grapes.

"... caught that"?

(Ironically, a feature of malaria is that it goes there and keeps coming back.)

Spencer reveals his ignorance of the subject by his own words. If you knew anything about the subject you'd realise that.

GW Is Caused By Satellites!

This one's a beaut. I wish I'd thought of it myself. It's all those satellites.

Here we will learn briefly about Global Warming, how satellites work, the principles behind the microwave oven, and how the satellites are causing Global RF Heating.

 

[CoolSceptic]

This one's a beaut. I wish I'd thought of it myself. It's all those satellites.

Nearly as convincing as the warmer who believes that earth is actually a nuclear reactor which will go into meltdown because of climate change here. So there are loonies on both sides.

Of course, it goes without saying that only someone with a woefully closed mind (or perhaps some kind of political slant?) would try to generalise this lunacy to all sceptics or to all warmers...

 

[CapelDodger]

This one's a beaut. I wish I'd thought of it myself. It's all those satellites.

I'm impressed by

"Sending oscillating microwaves from an antenna inside a vacuum through an electromagnetic field into a dielectric material, such as water, creates radio frequency heating (also called RF heating) at the molecular level. Because Earth’s electromagnetic field points directly towards the North Pole, the microwaves are guided directly towards the Polar Ice Caps. This is melting the Polar Ice caps"

Parody of a high standard.

 

[CapelDodger]

Nearly as convincing as the warmer who believes that earth is actually a nuclear reactor which will go into meltdown because of climate change here. So there are loonies on both sides.

What makes you think he's a "warmer"?

"Polar ice caps melt not because the air there is warmer than 0 deg Celsius, but because they are overheated from underneath. Volcanoes become active and erupt violently not because the Earth's interior "crystallizes", but because the planetary nucleus is a nuclear fission reactor that needs COOLING."

Doesn't that make him a "cooler"?

Of course, it goes without saying that only someone with a woefully closed mind (or perhaps some kind of political slant?) would try to generalise this lunacy to all sceptics or to all warmers...

You don't do irony, do you? Both TrueSceptic's and your links are to spoof sites making fun of GWScepticism. And why not? It cries out for parody, and irony and parody march hand-in-hand.

 

[mhaze]

Please! Let's try to keep this on a reasonable level that everyone can understand.

 

[CapelDodger]

Take 2 : I can remember when proles blamed any inopportune weather on "all them rockets they're sending up". It was a big-time meme in pre-barbecue days.

 

[CapelDodger]

Nobody's even slightly surprised that you have to plagiarise your humour.

 

[TrueSceptic]

I'm sure. Mostly on the one side, though. They'll believe anything as long as it's not CO2!

Of course, it goes without saying that only someone with a woefully closed mind (or perhaps some kind of political slant?) would try to generalise this lunacy to all sceptics or to all warmers...

And who would that be?

 

[TrueSceptic]

I wish I knew. With the sort of inept analyses we see at Watts, etc., I just can't tell which is parody any more. I thought they were both genuine, and therefore unintentionally funny.

No, he's a warmer. He believes the volcanoes are becoming more active because the earth is warming from greenhouse gases. From the site:

It seems that if we do not do anything today about Greenhouse Emissions that cause the entire atmosphere to trap more Solar Heat, we may not survive the next decade.

Nope, definitely a "warmer". Mind you it could be a parody of a warmer:

To withhold, distort or otherwise interfere with the truth about the Planetary Core is a Crime Against Humanity - one of the greatest crimes that man can commit.

Yep, trying to shut down debate, appeal to emotion... common warmer tactics.

You don't do irony, do you? Both TrueSceptic's and your links are to spoof sites making fun of GWScepticism. And why not? It cries out for parody, and irony and parody march hand-in-hand.

For a parody of GWScepticism, he's buying into the whole GWAlarmism thing hook line and sinker. Not a very convincing parody, really, is it? Having said that, your post is a good illustration of the closed mind comment in my previous post. Thanks for that.

One thing that never fails to amuse me is that the IPCC case has been consistent from the start, the only changes have been refinements of the original claims.

The deniers never quite know which case they should be use to not believe in AGW, but they know they don't accept AGW. Each knew reason someone finds is gleefully jumped on, even if they are mutually self contradictory. They still can't decide if it's warming or not, and if it is, then it's because of cosmic rays. You can't have it both ways. Is it warming or not? If it's not warming, then why all the fuss about cosmic rays. You can't have it both ways.

 

[Megalodon]

AUP, come on... it's perfectly simple.

The planet's not warming, because the US land temps are compromised, Hansen is corrupt, and approximately all climatologists in the world are incompetent or deluded. Also, the IPCC is a marxist cabal to destroy the Western world.

The warming that's not happened was caused by cosmic rays, natural variations, 60-80y cycles and 1500+-500y cycles on weekdays, and by the asian pollution on weekends (those dirty conniving asians).

And if you think about it, warming is good for you, and we'll be able to finally farm Siberia.

To end the argument, please take in consideration that Al Gore is fat.

...which is what the OP is all about

The best one-sentence summation I have seen is

In summary, each and every one of the above has been found to be the true culprit responsible for global warming which does not exist.

from the excellent Wikiality.

That's a good starting-pack for a beginner.

We've not seen anything new for a while, have we? Cosmic rays were the last effort, as I recall. The back-room boys aren't putting much stuff out. To be fair, they are getting on a bit and fatigue must surely be setting in.
