global warming

I voted for Option A

I just wanted to pass along a great website - ClimateGate - Anthropogenic Global Warming - History's Biggest Scam - which is an index of common claims against Climategate and effective counter-arguments. This is very similar in format to the famous Index to Creationist Claims by Talk...

Slashdot reports this morning that the Utah state assembly has passed a resolution (with no legal power) decrying global warming and demanding that the Environmental Protection Agency cease it's efforts to regulate CO2 and such until such time as the phenomenon can be "proved"...

I just wanted to pass along a great website - Skeptical Science: Examining Global Warming Skepticism - which is an index of common claims against GW and effective counter-arguments. This is very similar in format to the famous Index to Creationist Claims by Talk Origins. There's even a free...

The right wing talking points have been echoing the stupidity that because it is snowing more than usual in DC and the surrounding areas, that proves global warming is not occurring. I don't want to argue with the agw deniers in this thread. Please go away if you want to argue against the...

We have been gored by Gore! Strange case of moving weather posts and a scientist under siege http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2010/feb/01/dispute-weather-fraud …..It is well-known that the concrete, bricks and asphalt of urban areas absorb more heat than the countryside. They result in...

Lately many folk here and elsewhere have been going on and on about how the recent cold snap "proves that global warming is false" and that "the Earth is cooling". Well, here north of Chicago we've fallen victim to that nasty cold snap - record breaking cold temperatures have been pounding us...

I was recently involved in a discussion with A.A.Alfie about climate change in this thread. We both agree that the earth is warming. I'd like to ask the good folks at JREF what they think we ought to do about global warming. What practical things can be done to ameliorate the effects of global...

I don't pose the subject question lightly, especially considering the predictable assumption by some that I'm trying to equate skepticism about Global Warming to the Nazis (which I'm not) or that I'm implying that Global Warming skepticism is equal to Young-Earth Creationists (which I'm not)...

What do you found your scepticism regarding AGW on? :covereyes AGW=Anthropogenic Global Warning=Manmade Global Warming I am myself probably one of the most sceptical persons alive but i find that it is very likely that manmade global warming is a fact, and i'll tell you why i lean towards that...

Global Cooling in 2009 National Climatic Data Center Deadly Cold Across Europe and Russia So much for the hysteria!

Hmm.... http://www.agu.org/pubs/crossref/2009/2009GL040613.shtml Despite the predictions of coupled climate-carbon cycle models, no trend in the airborne fraction can be found. This study re-examines the available atmospheric CO2 and emissions data including their...

Sorry if this is a duplicate. Just reported over at CNN, Sarah Palin is all a-twitter about the Copenhagen summit: Source I can't figure which is more embarrassing -- the whole juvenility of it all, or the fact that she can't distinguish between "ions" and (presumably) eons. Please Santa...

Why do environmental activists continue talking about the danger of increasing global warming effects even though it's been proven that the data that showed that since 2000 there has not been any evidence to suggest an increase in temperature (Even the BBC wrote this), and that conclusive...

Why don't we just come clean about Global Warming? People respect honesty and this might be a good time to make use of honesty. I think we should just admit to people, "It does not matter if manmade global warming is real or not. What matters is that we act now in order to prevent it from...

Just in: 22% of the Dutch population do not believe in man-made global warming. I realise that AGW is a complex problem and there is a discussion about the validity of the theory. But there seems to be a strong trend of believing it is faked by the elite or something and this takes it into CT...

Is the goal of the Copenhagen climate change conference to halt and lower the level of CO2 in the atmosphere, or is it an effort to exact a measure of social justice on wealthy nations to redistribute wealth to the rest? The question arises because the math is quite clear: humans, according to...

From Global Research; "As I have previously shown, speculative derivatives (especially credit default swaps) are a primary cause of the economic crisis. And I have pointed out that (1) the giant banks will make a killing on carbon trading, (2) while the leading scientist crusading against...

Palin is now out with an Op-Ed in the Washington Post Passed along without comment:

I hardly ever see any discussion of Global Warming here...not.* GW threads quickly descend into bickering and as a non-expert I find the exchanges hard to follow, so I thought I'd start a thread to ask a specific question. Basically, I just don't get what those who reject the idea that humans...

The Story of Cap & Trade pA6FSy6EKrM I'm not quite sure what the politically realistic alternative is, though. I know that many of the attempts made so far have been completely ineffective and even had perverse consequences, as is mentioned in the video. I don't trust "offsets." She's...

Found this http://clivecrook.theatlantic.com/archives/2009/11/more_on_climategate.php Clive Crook on climategate, a few extracted comments as follows: "The stink of intellectual corruption is overpowering." ...plain statistical incompetence.." "And these guys call the other side...

WHY do people worry about a 2C temperature rise, which is the most OPTIMISTIC possible outcome of AGW? This should be self-explanatory;

I really dislike the term climategate when referring to the hacked emails and fallout from same Can we find a better name? Whilst at it, some better terms for warmers would be appreciated also.

So sayeth the Mail columnist on BBC Question Time: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/question_time/8382037.stm

Why 'climategate' won't stop greens Toronto Sun What some of us have been saying all along. It doesn't really the issue yet, but it all got a whole lot less inevitable just now.

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2009/nov/24/hiding-evidence-of-global-cooling/ I have not seen a discussion here at JREF on this yet. I read several articles on this yesterday from various news sites and the hacked information seems legit. I am surprised (or not) that this isn't getting...
