Official Global Warming thread (merged)

[Danl]

Give me a winter with no snow, like your heroes forecasted 10 years ago.

Are you telling us that most climatologist forecasted, 10 years ago, that we would now have winters without snow? I call BS. Show me a link to that.

 

[Mtntrout]

Never claimed that it did. You asked me to explain my statement how large natural climate cycles are the dominate cycles. I attempted to use this study to explain it to you.

I don't see how it being longer makes it dominant. Maybe we don't agree on what "dominant" means in this context.

 

[Sandvol]

I don't see how it being longer makes it dominant. Maybe we don't agree on what "dominant" means in this context.

Maybe if you're around when the Holocene ends you'll get a better feel for it.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

I encourage you to research how we know the temperature in the distant past, how much methane comes from humans vs cattle vs rice (most come from rice production, we just can't tell billions of people to starve), and answer these questions for yourself.

Or you can just make juvenile jokes geared towards amusing the lowest common denominator. Whichever.

It's actually more amusing to see those like you and Bart post in this thread like either of you actually know what you're talking about. You don't. I don't either.

Speak for yourself champ. What's amusing is your and SandVol's recent arguments (admissions?) that you have no idea what you're talking about...

You changed your mind about vaccines. You even made a whole thread about how much you love science. So why do you continue to reject the overwhelming scientific consensus on evolution and climate change?

 

[VolsNSkinsFan]

Guys... It's too hot.

"We are in uncharted territory with respect to lack of severe weather", said Greg Carbin, SPC's warning coordination meteorologist. "This has never happened in the record of SPC watches dating back to 1970."

Weird. I thought AGW was going to cause more storms.

Florida employee 'punished for using phrase climate change'

FEMA won’t give money to states that don’t plan for climate change

Well this story just keeps getting better

 

[VolsNSkinsFan]

Should FL prepare for climate change by buying snow plows? After all it did snow in Florida this year

Well, then he's in the same boat as all the other climate scientists.

First sane statement I've seen in this thread.

 

[theFallGuy]

America has a lot of real problems to work on that we can actually solve. Climate isn't one of them. Like I've said before, wake me up when Florida is under water.

 

[82_VOL_83]

This is what you came up with after the edit? Go to bed 8283 you're drunk

So are 99% of climate scientists evidently.

 

[82_VOL_83]

NASA adjusts their temp data. Because apparently tempature data needs to be adjusted for some reason

Much like the opposite of the GDP numbers where the projections fit the equation and then are adjusted to actual numbers, the actual temps are adjusted to fit the equation. One is the fudge factor and one is the finagle factor. I can't remember which is which.

It's actually more amusing to see those like you and Bart post in this thread like either of you actually know what you're talking about. You don't. I don't either.

Arm a tree hugger with bad data and just sit back and watch. It's like the wreck at the end of Talladega Nights. You just can't turn away no matter how bad it gets.

Is it any cheaper that way?

Ted Cruz's world's on fire, but not for the last 17 years | PolitiFact

Cruz said, "Satellite data demonstrate for the last 17 years, there's been zero warming."

Cruz does have a point: There’s been little global temperature change since 1998, and the temperatures measured are lower than what many computer models had predicted.

That's a super idea! Let's wait to fix a problem until it's way too late, and the damage is done.

Similarly, I'm going to keep smoking my cigarettes. Wake me up when I have stage 4 lung cancer.

 

[tumscalcium]

It's cute that you think people can "fix" the climate.

 

[turambar85]

It's cute that you think people can "fix" the climate.

It's depressing that you A) think that "fixing" is an all or nothing concept, and that we can only "fix" a climate issue by completely determining the makeup and path of the Earth's climate, and B) that you apparently, by the nature of your comment, think that the climate is entirely out of the hands of humans.

Sigh. What are your specific proposals?

I see we're moving to stage 4 climate denial: deny we can solve it

Ted Cruz's world's on fire, but not for the last 17 years | PolitiFact

I think Politifact was being very generous in rating Cruz's statement "mostly false". If they looked at the rest of that lulzy bit it'd better have gotten "pants on fire"

Ted Cruz Goes Full Orwell

I do so love the "they changed the name to climate change" talking point. Weapons-grade irony indeed

 

[VolsNSkinsFan]

Temps have been flat for 18 years.
