Media Lie: 'Record-Breaking Heat' Exaggeration; Blatant Agenda

[Google]

I do not believe it.
The earth has experienced climate change many times over the last billion years....with a heavy duty warm up in the early 1800's following the dramatic cool down of the late 1700's where it was known to snow in the summer in the North Eastern US...what were humans doing back then that caused it?
And the original ice age? Were them pesky dinosaurs toying with combustible engines back then?
Furthermore, methane is contatly being exuded into the atmosphere...Carbon Dioxide is a bi product or most animal/insect respiration.....
Nope...I have no reason to believe it is man induced.

There is a difference between man being the sole cause and man adding to the problem. No one is claiming that man is the sole cause of global warming. But to deny that man is increasing the rate of global warming is something that only a person who doesn't want to believe its happening can even begin to try to argue.

I disagree.
The climate has experienced drastic changes in temperatures over spans of a few hundred years and sometimes less......and we noticed a fluxuation over the past few decades of a degree or two...so if anything, it seems this climate change we are experiencing is even less dramatic than the ones we experienced prior to technology.
I do not believe our technology has a strong enough impact to affect our climate.....the atmosphere is billions and billions and billions of cubic feet...and billions and billions beyond that.....
The amount of emissions we are putting into the atmosphere is minute compoared to the size of the atmosphere.

Compare it to putting a drop of chlorine into a 20K gallon pool.....

Sorry...I have researched climate change (off the cuff research...nothing scientific)....and I have come to the conclusion that it is nothing but an unproven theory...

And why unproven? Becuase at first it was labelled global warming...then it wsa noted that it was actually cooling in some areas.....so now it is considered climate change.

The one theory that binds gives global warming its credibility, and its the central theme to modern, political, religious environmentalist dogma, and that is does CO2--something that is vital to life on Earth, we breathe out--that that causes the Earth to warm. Believe it or not this isn't excepted as fact.

This faith in global warming has many real consequences. Taxing something we breath out, and is somehow produced constantly throughout our lives by our existence, is dangerous. In Australia they have faith so much they are slaughtering Camels (Eat camels to protect environment, Aussies told) because of their 'carbon foot print', they are out there preaching--seriously advocating for active population control measures it isn't that hard to believe there are zealots that would do the same to humans in the name of Gia the spirit of the Earth. Children have been indoctrinated early, there is now a Captain Planet Generation and if you watch some of those old cartoons you just let kids watch its pretty clear how zealously they have faith.

oh, the horror

get a life

Are you serious? There are politicians trying to restructure economies risking the lives of millions, fundamentally control every aspect of people's lives--and its all based on biased exaggerations of speculations.

Oh think it's a horror, and I think it is worthy of dispelling this dangerous idea of man-made global warming--or climate change now, which is much more honest.

First it was global cooling, then global warming, now climate change when the facts don't support warming and global warming when it does. This environmental religious zealot cult has eugenics-driven intentions and goals.

The dimwits on here will not argue intellegently with you. The whole idea of global warming/climate change is a big lie, hasn't been proven.

Who do you consider a credible source of information on this topic? I'd like to read what you have read that has convinced you that man has no impact on global climate change. I can post endless links that show man has an impact but instead of doing that, I'll start by reading what you have read and has shown enough data (in your opinion) to sway your opinion. We can go from there...

I didn't mean to double post, not sure what happened.

The left is so predictable. U.S. All-Time Highest Max Temperature Records set on July 17, 2011[]=US#records_look_up

Last week was not historic or anything more than a normal July heat wave that happens every year.

No matter how many time you repeat your crap, it will never be true.

If you Google "record-breaking heat July 2011" you will be given 35 million results. All last week the left was pointing to the heat wave, in the middle of July, as evidence of global warming—proof positive. It was reported that Washington DC would reach 116 F—of course that was the ‘heat index’ not the actual temperature. The heat index broke records, not the actual temperatures.

Of course there were some records set last week, but once you put it in historical perspective it becomes undeniably clear that the media’s reporting on last week’s heat wave and their constant connections between man-made global warming is biased and not based in reality. This how the weather has been reported for the last 8-9 years.


“That's right. There were only 34 new all-time daily temperature records set during last week's "record-breaking heat."

This is out of over 6000 records previously set for each day since such things have been reported.

For instance, the four set Thursday were out of 6,219 historically for that day. This represented only 0.06 percent.

On Friday, 20 records were set out of 6,108, or 0.3 percent.

As you can see, the actual records broken were statistically insignificant.
Yet a Google search of "record-breaking heat July 2011" produced almost 35 million results.

That's more than a million stories per new record set.

Seems the exaggeration at play is even greater than the number of Americans now claiming they attended Woodstock.

Makes you wonder if all these so-called journalists were smoking something last week as if they were still at Max Yasgur's farm.” (Media Myth Debunked: Almost No Temperature Records Broken in Last Week's 'Record-Breaking Heat' | NewsBusters.org)

Denier cultists are apparently so retarded and blinded by their ideology that they will deny it's unusually hot even when their skin is practically melting off. LOLOL. Anyone who believes anything that comes from Noel Sheppard and his discredited rightwingnut propaganda outlet is already brainwashed and far gone in some rightwingnut bizarro-world. Half witted spin and statistical tricks can't hide the severity of the heat waves occurring in the US and elsewhere around the world this year.

Once again, here's the facts about the recent heat wave.

U.S. Records
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
National Climatic Data Center

Records Look-Up - Archived Monthly/All-Time Records

U.S. Daily Highest Max Temperature Records set in June 2011
2,731 (Broken) + 1,409 (Tied)

U.S. Daily Highest Max Temperature Records set in July 2011
1,313 (Broken) + 906 (Tied)


While it is true that there are always some new record high and record low temperatures being recorded, in relation to global warming it is the ratio between the record highs and record lows that has some significance.

If the world wasn't undergoing rapid forced climate changes, the ratio of record hot days to record cold days would naturally tend to be about 1:1. Because the world is experiencing abrupt anthropogenic warming, the ratio of record hot days to record cold days has been growing in recent decades to two or even three times as many record hot days as record cold days. This last June was exceptional and demonstrates just how skewed our climate patterns are getting.

June Record High Temperatures Beat Record Lows 11-to-1 in US
07. 8. 11
(excerpts)

According to new data from NOAA's National Climatic Data Center, there were 2706 new record high temperatures set in June versus 251 new record low temperatures.

That's a ratio of nearly 11:1, when the expected ratio over time should be about 1:1. On a yearly basis over the past decade the ratio has been about 2:1, with data showing that part of the issue is that nights aren't cooling as much as they used to.

From the 1950s to 1980s the ratio fluctuated between being slightly above and slightly below 1:1, but since the 80s it began increasing. Under a business-as-usual climate change scenario, we could hit 20:1 record highs to record lows by 2050 and even 50:1 by 2100. Should we successfully reduce emissions enough, by 2050 we may be able to constrain that ratio to 8:1.

In addition to those 2706 daily high temperature records, June saw 63 all-June temperature records and 17 yearly high temperature records.

In case there might by anyone fooled into imagining that this is just a normal summer phenomenon, here's the data on the last six decades, all year, summer, fall, winter and spring.

Record high temperatures far outpace record lows across U.S.
UCAR
November 12, 2009
(excerpts)

BOULDER—Spurred by a warming climate, daily record high temperatures occurred twice as often as record lows over the last decade across the continental United States, new research shows. The ratio of record highs to lows is likely to increase dramatically in coming decades if emissions of greenhouse gases continue to climb. If temperatures were not warming, the number of record daily highs and lows being set each year would be approximately even. Instead, for the period from January 1, 2000, to September 30, 2009, the continental United States set 291,237 record highs and 142,420 record lows, as the country experienced unusually mild winter weather and intense summer heat waves.

This graphic shows the ratio of record daily highs to record daily lows observed at about 1,800
weather stations in the 48 contiguous United States from January 1950 through September 2009.
Each bar shows the proportion of record highs (red) to record lows (blue) for each decade.
The 1960s and 1970s saw slightly more record daily lows than highs, but in the last 30 years record
highs have increasingly predominated, with the ratio now about two-to-one for the 48 states as a whole.

Everything from drought to rain, blue skies to gray—whenever the weather changes and records are set, something that has been happening constantly from the beginning of Earth’s existence, we are told that it is proof of global warming. And if you believe that the records we are currently recording are actual records in regards to time, you are naïve. It is a record from the beginning of when those records began, and historians know that during such times as the Little Ice Age (Little Ice Age - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) temperatures were much lower and during such times as the Midevil Warm Period (Medieval Warm Period - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) they were much higher.

I have still never had a liberal, either a personal friend or anyone on this message board, answer for the causes of the little ice age, or the implications of.

Nor have I ever had a liberal explain why the ice caps of Mars are melting. (Mars is Melting - NASA Science) NASA has reported several times that the temperature of Mars is increasing—in one moment of sincerity when they were focused solely on science and not what politically correct reported that the reason was because of increased solar activity. What are the implications of that fact on the theory of global warming?

Y'know something else? July in Tucson has actually been a little cooler than normal this year. No one's bothering to mention THAT at all.

Mans activities has no effect on the earth? None?

Sure does.

But not on the climate.

Heck...we cant even predict the weather correctly at a rate better than 50%...why? Becuase the climate is very complicated...and quite unpredictable...and we have no way to control it or affect it.

It's ok for you to believe that but logic tells us that if man has an effect of the earth. It effect the entire earth. It's impossible to blieve that man has an effect on the earth in every way EXCEPT one.

What proof do you have to come to such a conclusion? Not musings or beliefs..but proof?

oh, the horror

get a life

yep, cause the Media having a clear Agenda, and deliberately mis-reporting, and over stating evidence that furthers their Agenda, An agenda that could lead to sweeping, costly laws that give Government unprecedented power over us all.

Is not big deal..
