We have about 50-100 years to have a plan not only in place, but fully functional and actually drawing down legacy CO2 levels. This is an astonishingly short period of time. It is urgent, but it can be accomplished without panicking.
The science is robust, but where many scientists have shot...

Above is the study from a Finnish University.
It claims humans contribute only .1% of atmospheric CO2.
It also claims most of our warming over the last 100 years is due to cosmic rays.
Can anyone take apart this study, piece by piece?
Thanks.
I was referred to this video by a meteorologist.

Since it is clearly biased, I tried to find Tony Heller's credentials and found this site, which looks extremely suspicious to me. Finally, I searched for "Tony Heller" on ISF and found only one post that mentions him. (Now I...

Its cold in much of the USA, therefore global warming is fake. Haven't you heard? Just in case: yes that was sarcasm, but I've heard it said in earnest a few times this year already.
This is a continuation of the Global warming discussion IV thread.
This could possibly belong in the conspiracy section since so much of science denier reasoning comes down to a great conspiracy by all science and science institutions. However I post it here in case anyone wants a diversion into the unsettling side of logic and cares to try on the Trump crowd...
Here is a reprint of a post I made on the website Conservation is Conservatism. On Freeman Dyson's thoughts about global warming. Hope you all enjoy it.
As a general rule of thumb I largely agree with your debunking of Dyson. AGW most certainly is a serious threat. However, maybe even...

It's commendable that the Pope enters the AGW debate, but sad that he also seems to ignore the most fundamental reason of all, for which the Catholic church has major responsibility. Namely that fossil fuels are not the primary problem, but population growth is.
There are not enough resources...

A few years ago I stumbled across this forum (technically JREF's back then) in my search for knowledge and to satisfy my curiosity. I was one of those 'fence sitters' where I wasn't sure what to believe.
Since then, I have moved closer to town to shorten...
It has been shown in another thread that a higher percentage of women accept that climate change is happening than men. The difference according to a 2010 poll is about 14%. I think it would be interesting to explore the reasons for this difference.
Note: The poll is limited to the US.
I'll...
I've followed the primary global warming threads on and off for a while, and must say that while it's a very interesting debate going on, it doesn't offer many opportunities to touch on the issue that concerns me the most. I want to start a discussion on what the average person can do about...
Continued from here.
Nothing wrong with the paper it’s your understanding that is lacking.
In fact it says pretty much the opposite of what you seem to think it does. It’s arguing against there being any change in the long term trend.
Curious statement, since the paper you base this on...
This thread is a continuation of the original Global Warming discussion. That thread may be found here. Thank you.
You're completely wrong in claiming that there was a negative forcing from the solar factor. Why are you assuming that when its output was still greater than its average over...
I would like to start a new topic about Global Warming.
We keep talking about the Science of Global warming and only a small part of it is about solutions, economics and policy.
For me AGW is split in 2 parts.
1. the Science of Climatology and all its relevant fields.
2. the Politics. what to...
I think the AGW Conspiracy theories that are spread around by people like Alex Jones, David Icke etc etc are the most dangerous Conspiracy theories ever.
Considering the huge danger AGW is posing on humanity, is it fair to say that they are the mmost dangerous of all Conspiracy theories?
or am i...

Collapse of Antarctic Ice Sheet Linked to Ancient 'Mega Flood'
OK, so that's roughly 6.5 feet every 50 years ... a little more than a foot every decade, and I'm assuming they don't know if the rise was evenly distributed or sporadic.
Fascinating stuff.
Since we are "riding the tiger" of Global Warming (A or null A) this may be a solution.

Howdy all,
I have a colleague who is trying to get me to read a book by Chris Horner called "Red Hot Lies". I'm too busy to read it, and from what little I've seen via my Google-fu it seems that Mr. Horner is a climate change denier, but I don't know what specific claims he makes in his book...

I am trying to visualize what the Earth will look like circa 10,000 AD assuming present models of global warming are correct.
For example:
Here we see North America divided into three smaller continents.
I am looking for more like this, ideally a world map of what we would expect Earth...

Hello Members,
It has been noted that there have been a lot of threads created on the topic of global warming. A great number of these topics rapidly descend into bickering and other rule violations. Although one of the biggest threads was put on moderated status, it seems that many of the...
