global warming turns 35

There never was a scientific consensus for global cooling.

Only a few magazine articles.

Nice try though.
ugh

The people who wrote those articles were science reporters. Don't worry though, they got all their information from talking to astrologers. I wouldn't want to upset your revisionist history by suggesting that science reporters were listening to scientists.

I'm sorry, let me shut off the hypocrisy detector... that alarm is just so loud when you peg the needle like that.

Now what were you lying about a moment ago? Oh yes... no no no no... you don't get to change rules to suit your desired results. If a few magazine articles based on halfassed 'sciencey' handwavium stating that global warming exists, you can suck it up and agree that halfassed 'sciencey' handwavium stating global cooling exists and were correct too.

So which is it. Are ALL climate change articles bullshit and by extension, the science, or are they all true and therefor the conflicting science too?

Would you like a pick? Another shovel? Hand Drill? Nitroglycerine? Anything to help dig that hole any deeper? Or can we do the world a favor and fill in after you?

In the 1970s there was increasing awareness that estimates of global temperatures showed cooling since 1945. Of those scientific papers considering climate trends over the 21st century, only 10% inclined towards future cooling, while most papers predicted future warming.[2] The general public had little awareness of carbon dioxide's effects on climate, but Science News in May 1959 forecast a 25% increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide in the 150 years from 1850 to 2000, with a consequent warming trend.[3] The actual increase in this period was 29%. Paul R. Ehrlich mentioned climate change from greenhouse gases in 1968.[4] By the time the idea of global cooling reached the public press in the mid-1970s temperatures had stopped falling, and there was concern in the climatological community about carbon dioxide's warming effects.[5] In response to such reports, the World Meteorological Organization issued a warning in June 1976 that a very significant warming of global climate was probable.[6]

Wow, that proves you are right.

Ever wonder why academics never site Wikipedia as a source?

BWWWAAAHAHAHAHAH!
 
In 1975, when the wingnuts claim that everybody was screaming "another ice age coming", this paper was published in a peer reviewed journal.

Clear predictions were made, and turned out to be quite accurate concerning the overall temperature rise. The 'sceptics' have yet to publish any such papers. In fact, they cannot even get the past decade right.

This is not a reference to the recent three decades of rapidly increasing global temperatures, rather it is a reference to an aniversary of the first appearance of the term "global warming" in the peer reviewed literature. The paper was by Wally Broeker and titled "Are we on the brink of a pronounced global warming?"



Real Climate has an interesting post on the details of this paper. The short version is that despite numerous considerations in the paper that have played out differently than hypothesized, the overall prediction of temperature by the end of the 20th century was remarkably accurate.


In this paper, Broecker correctly predicted "that the present cooling trend will, within a decade or so, give way to a pronounced warming induced by carbon dioxide", and that "by early in the next century [carbon dioxide] will have driven the mean planetary temperature beyond the limits experienced during the last 1000 years". He predicted an overall 20th Century global warming of 0.8ºC due to CO2 and worried about the consequences for agriculture and sea level.
[....]
To those who even today claim that global warming is not predictable, the anniversary of Broecker's paper is a reminder that global warming was actually predicted before it became evident in the global temperature records over a decade later (when Jim Hansen in 1988 famously stated that "global warming is here").

it did not turn 35 it turned 98.

Arctic Ocean Getting Warm; Seals Vanish and Icebergs Melt.

The Arctic ocean is warming up, icebergs are growing scarcer and in some places the seals are finding the water too hot, according to a report to the Commerce Department yesterday from Consul Ifft, at Bergen, Norway.

Reports from fishermen, seal hunters and explorers, he declared, all point to a radical change in climate conditions and hitherto unheard-of temperatures in the Arctic zone. Exploration expeditions report that scarcely any ice has been met with as far north as 81 degrees 29 minutes. Soundings to a depth of 3,100 meters showed the gulf stream still very warm.

Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones, the report continued, while at many points well known glaciers have entirely disappeared. Very few seals and no white fish are found in the eastern Arctic, while vast shoals of herring and smelts, which have never before ventured so far north, are being encountered in the old seal fishing grounds.

Amazing how things seem to go in cycles.

So that is what you consider a source for science? Figures.
 
I happen to believe scientists know what they are talking about all the time, unless they don't. How does the fact that one paper was published in 1975 change the fact that the consensus at that time was that the Earth was cooling? That is the part that always gets me when alarmists want me to believe something, it they have facts on their side why do they have to lie about history?

Why do you have to lie continously about a consensus that did not exist?

Scientific studies in the 1970's re: global cooling”
“Most predictions of an impending ice age came from the popular press (eg - Newsweek,
NY Times, National Geographic, Time Magazine). As far as peer reviewed scientific papers
in the 1970s, very few papers (7 in total) predicted global cooling. Significantly more papers
(42 in total) predicted global warming due to CO2.”

Yep, the popular press ran with scientific fringe elements. They never talked to real scientists, and still don't. :cuckoo:

You IDIOT! Where the fuck do you think the press came up with the idea of global cooling? Did they fucking pull it out of thin air? They talked to fucking scientist and reported on the consensus, the exact same way they do today. If you want to insists that there was no consensus back then then you will have to admit one does not exist now.

Why is it you ignore facts simply because they disagree with your theories? The consensus existed back then, and it went the other way 50 years before that, and back again to cooling if you go back another 50 years. But don't worry, that was just the popular press then to, and the real scientists always believed in global warming.

A consensus is 7 papers against 42? Get your head out of your ass, boy!

In the last ten years the real consensus, hundreds of papers against maybe 1 or 2 in scientific journals,.

Seems that claim of thousands of climatologists is a tad bit....well....inflated. It appears that the consensus is from fewer than 80 climatologists and they of course self selected the survey targets. Par for the course with this un-ethical group.

The Hockey Schtick: The 97% "Consensus" is only 75 Self-Selected Climatologists

Wow, you searched decades worth of scientific literature and found less than 50 papers about climate change, and expect me to back down because the ones you found support your position and not mine? Keep dreaming, and I think I owe an apology to idiots. I hope we are both around in another 50 years when you try to argue that there was no scientific consensus supporting global warming in 2000.
 
Meh. Look at the scale on the y-axis of that hockey stick and take it in light of everything else exposed/discussed in this thread.

Remember when the scientific consensus was called 'geocentrism'?

bullshit and the hucksters who fling it have been around way longer than 35 years; hell, you've been around longer than 35 years.
:eusa_shhh:
 
I think anyone who relies on major media for their understanding of anything scientific is an idiot.

This is coming from the guy who tried to cite enhanced telepathy as evidence that brain dead patients can think. One thing I am certain of, I would trust National Enquirer for its view of science before I would listen to you. They are definitely idiots, but you make them look like geniuses.
