Climatologists talk like politicians...not scientists.

National Review? As much validity in this discussion as the daily Kos.




Perfectly reasonable IMO. When the "scientists" abandoned science for propaganda they entered the realm of politics so the NR is perfectly justified in commenting.
 
Because halfwits like you accuse them of that, does not make it so.

Once again, every Scientific Society on earth, every National Academy of Science, and every major University states that AGW is a fact, and a clear and present danger.

The evidence has been presented from earth based observations, and from satellites, both the Greenland and Anarctic Ice Caps are melting by the giga-ton a year. And the melt is increasing every year. From both earth based observations and satellite imagery, all most all of the alpine glaciers are in rapid retreat.

The Permafrost is melting, and we see CH4 bubbling out of both the lakes in the permafrost and the Arctic Ocean.

And all of this is "propaganda" according to Walleyed.

old fraud, just because the 12 or so board of directors of an organization decide to "agree" with the "science" of AGW in direct opposition to the VAST MAJORITY of their membership does not a consensus make. In fact the more that this particular bt of "information" is delved into the more apparent that the vast majority of these board members are either Gore friends, aquaintences, appointees or investors.

Just because the NKVD ran the Gulags under Stalins auspices didn't make it any more "right". Especially to the 50 million or so who died in them now don't you think?


And when raw data is checked as opposed to the warmers manufactured or "value added" data it is found that what you say is not true.

The scientific consensus concerning global warming is about the same as the consensus on evolution. The evidence is just as robust.

It seems that the debate on the authenticity
of global warming and the role played
by human activity is largely nonexistent
among those who understand the nuances
and scientific basis of long-term
climate processes. The challenge, rather, appears
to be how to effectively communicate this
fact to policy makers and to a public that
continues to mistakenly perceive debate
among scientists.
 
An older post, today there would be many more names.

The Petition - 11,885+ individual scientists listed by name
A petition signed by 52 Nobel Laureates, 63 National Medal of Science recipients, 195 members of the National Academies, and over 11,885+ other scientists criticizing the misuse and politicization of science in Washington. The list is continually growing so these are minimum numbers. Here is an excerpt from that petition:
“For example, in support of the president’s decision to avoid regulating emissions that cause climate change, the administration has consistently misrepresented the findings of the National Academy of Sciences, government scientists, and the expert community at large. Thus in June 2003, the White House demanded extensive changes in the treatment of climate change in a major report by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). To avoid issuing a scientifically indefensible report, EPA officials eviscerated the discussion of climate change and its consequences.”
Texas A&M - Department of Atmospheric Sciences Unanimous Endorsement of the IPCC
We, the tenured and tenure-track faculty of the Dept. of Atmospheric Sciences of Texas A&M, agree with the recent reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change that:

1. It is virtually certain that the climate is warming, and that it has warmed by about 0.7 deg. C over the last 100 years.
2. It is very likely that humans are responsible for most of the recent warming.
3. If we do nothing to reduce our emissions of greenhouse gases, future warming will likely be at least two degrees Celsius over the next century.
4. Such a climate change brings with it a risk of serious adverse impacts on our environment and society

No warming since 1998. So much for man made global warming.

Would you mind repeating that lie again?:lol:


Did global warming stop in 1998?


It hasn't warmed since 1998

For the years 1998-2005, temperature did not increase. This period coincides with society's continued pumping of more CO2 into the atmosphere. (Bob Carter)

What the science says...
The planet has continued to accumulate heat since 1998 - global warming is still happening. Nevertheless, surface temperatures show much internal variability due to heat exchange between the ocean and atmosphere. 1998 was an unusually hot year due to a strong El Nino.


To claim global warming stopped in 1998 overlooks one simple physical reality - the land and atmosphere are just a small fraction of the Earth's climate (albeit the part we inhabit). The entire planet is accumulating heat due to an energy imbalance. The atmosphere is warming. Oceans are accumulating energy. Land absorbs energy and ice absorbs heat to melt. To get the full picture on global warming, you need to view the Earth's entire heat content.

This analysis is performed in An observationally based energy balance for the Earth since 1950 (Murphy 2009) which adds up heat content from the ocean, atmosphere, land and ice. To calculate the Earth's total heat content, the authors used data of ocean heat content from the upper 700 metres. They included heat content from deeper waters down to 3000 metres depth. They computed atmospheric heat content using the surface temperature record and the heat capacity of the troposphere. Land and ice heat content (the energy required to melt ice) were also included.

Hey doofus....the grand poobah of AGW Dr. Phil Jones, head of the Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia and the leading "academic" center for GW propaganda,
is the person who said it....not me. I am just agreeing with him. Here is the article yet again. So riddle me this batman...how do you square your assertions that temps are still rising when the lead "scientist" of your religious movement says otherwise?
