Bombshell study concludes there is no evidence for anthropogenic climate change...

Then you two have fun and don't forget to get cleaned up for dinner.

 

[ding]

This isn't what I would call my idea of fun.

 

[Crick]

This isn't what I would call my idea of fun.

Oh... Your Mom's a better cook than that.

 

[ding]

Oh... Your Mom's a better cook than that.

That doesn't make any sense.

 

[Crick]

That doesn't make any sense.

It was a jesting response to your comment that it wasn't what you'd call your idea of fun.

 

[ding]

It was a jesting response to your comment that it wasn't what you'd call your idea of fun.

I figured that but I still don't get it.

 

[Crick]

That's a good start. Keep going.

 

[ding]

No thanks. I'm good not getting it.

 

[Crick]

No thanks. I'm good not getting it.

That's not the least bit surprising.

 

[ding]

That's not the least bit surprising.

I couldn't be happier for you to believe that.

Nobel Prize winner Michael Mann is very trustworthy, eh?

I would trust him to direct a movie. Nothing more.

Michael Kenneth Mann is an American director, screenwriter, and producer of film and television who is best known for his distinctive style of crime drama. His most acclaimed works include the films Thief, Manhunter, The Last of the Mohicans, Heat, The Insider, Collateral, and Public Enemies.

The simple answer is that CO2 doesn't drive the planet's temperature. Which is why you WON'T answer the question.

I did answer, sorry you didn't like it.

There has never been glaciation at any pole without that pole being thermally isolated from marine currents. Never. It's in the geologic record. The reason why should be self evident. It's harder for ice to form over water than it is over land.

I have no idea what you're saying. Glaciers only form on land and Antarctica is covered by them and is NOT thermally isolated from marine currents.

 

[alang1216]

The supposed scientific consensus that you keep mentioning as the reason you believe man is responsible for the recent warming trend.

You know.... these guys...

The scientific consensus I've been referring to says the Earth is warming and sea levels are rising. There is another scientific consensus that says man is responsible and I've always said that may or may not be true but it doesn't matter if the first one is true.

 

[ding]

I did answer, sorry you didn't like it.

Your answer was you couldn't answer it, right?

I can't answer that question.

And you aren't willing to venture a guess that it's because CO2 doesn't drive the climate of the planet, right? Even though that's exactly what it implies and is the simplest explanation. That other factors were more important than CO2.

 

[alang1216]

But they absolutely have. You need to see my credentials to believe the so called scientific experts blame CO2 for the recent warming trend?

I find it odd that you say you rely upon the experts and yet you don't have a clue what the experts are saying.

I know what they are saying, I just don't think it matters why the Earth is warming and sea levels are rising.

 

[alang1216]

Your answer was you couldn't answer it, right?

Yes,

And you aren't willing to venture a guess that it's because CO2 doesn't drive the climate of the planet, right? Even though that's exactly what it implies and is the simplest explanation. That other factors were more important than CO2.

I've always accepted that there are multiple causes but I'm not knowledgeable enough to rank their importance.

 

[ding]

I have no idea what you're saying. Glaciers only form on land and Antarctica is covered by them and is NOT thermally isolated from marine currents.

The northern pole is covered by an ocean which is mostly landlocked. The southern pole has a continent parked over it. So both are thermally isolated from warmer marine currents. These are not controversial statements. You clearly don't understand what you are discussing.

 

[alang1216]

But you still don't know that they believe that CO2 is responsible for the recent warming trend, right?

What do you know?

I know the consensus and I accept it is a factor. I also don't see it matters if they are right or not.

 

[ding]

I know what they are saying, I just don't think it matters why the Earth is warming and sea levels are rising.

Of course it matters. Why wouldn't it matter? Either it is due to natural climate fluctuations which we can do nothing about or it's due to man's influence which we can do something about.
