MIT scientist says the Global warmming believers is like a hysterical cult.

[Old Rocks]

The scientist most involved in studying the affects of global warming are climatologists, meteorologists, geologists, and oceanographers.

Geologists have been presenting the evidence for many years concerning the changes in the climate and the effects that they are seeing from those changes. Here is the Geological Society of America statement on the matter;

The Geological Society of America - Position Statement on Climate Change

Position Statement
Decades of scientific research have shown that climate can change from both natural and anthropogenic causes. The Geological Society of America (GSA) concurs with assessments by the National Academies of Science (2005), the National Research Council (2011), the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, 2013) and the U.S. Global Change Research Program (Melillo et al., 2014) that global climate has warmed in response to increasing concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases. The concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are now higher than they have been for many thousands of years. Human activities (mainly greenhouse-gas emissions) are the dominant cause of the rapid warming since the middle 1900s (IPCC, 2013). If the upward trend in greenhouse-gas concentrations continues, the projected global climate change by the end of the twenty-first century will result in significant impacts on humans and other species. The tangible effects of climate change are already occurring. Addressing the challenges posed by climate change will require a combination of adaptation to the changes that are likely to occur and global reductions of CO2 emissions from anthropogenic sources.

Purpose
This position statement (1) summarizes the scientific basis for the conclusion that human activities are the primary cause of recent global warming; (2) describes the significant effects on humans and ecosystems as greenhouse-gas concentrations and global climate reach projected levels; and (3) provides information for policy decisions guiding mitigation and adaptation strategies designed to address the current and future impacts of anthropogenic warming.

Background

This statement provides a brief overview of how and why global climate has changed over the past century and will continue to change in the future. It is based on the peer-reviewed scientific literature and is consistent with the vast weight of current scientific understanding as expressed in assessments and reports from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, and the U.S. Global Change Research Program. Although the statement has been drafted in the context of concerns in the United States, the underlying issues are inherently global in nature.

How is climate changing?

Warming of the climate system now is unequivocal, according to many different kinds of evidence. Observations show increases in globally averaged air and ocean temperatures, as well as widespread melting of snow and ice and rising globally averaged sea level. Surface temperature data for Earth as a whole, including readings over both land and ocean, show an increase of about 0.8°C (1.4°F) over the period 1901?2010 and about 0.5°C (0.9°F) over the period 1979–2010 (the era for which satellite-based temperature data are routinely available). Due to natural variability, not every year is warmer than the preceding year globally. Nevertheless, all of the 10 warmest years in the global temperature records up to 2011 have occurred since 1997, with 2005 and 2010 being the warmest two years in more than a century of global records. The warming trend is greatest in northern high latitudes and over land. In the U.S., most of the observed warming has occurred in the West and in Alaska; for the nation as a whole, there have been twice as many record daily high temperatures as record daily low temperatures in the first decade of the 21st century.

The effects of this warming are especially evident in the planet’s polar regions. Arctic sea ice extent and volume have been decreasing for the past several decades. Both the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets have lost significant amounts of ice. Most of the world’s glaciers are in retreat.

USGS Report Series Fact Sheet 2005–3056: Satellite Image Atlas of Glaciers of the World

Satellite Image Atlas of Glaciers of the World

Introduction
Most mountain glaciers worldwide have been retreating since the late 1800s (at the end of the “Little Ice Age”), and global sea level has risen about 30 centimeters since then. Glaciers vary in size in response to changes in global and regional climates (such as warmer summers). The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) studies the complex links among glacier variation, climate change, and global sea level.

Sea-level changes, especially in densely populated, low-lying coastal areas and on islands, have significant effects on human activities and facilities. The present volume of the Earth’s glacier ice, if totally melted, represents about 80 meters in potential sea-level rise. About 200 meters is the range of sea-level changes that can be caused by water being frozen in glaciers during an ice age (glacial stage) or melted during an interglacial stage. For example, during the last glacial maximum (LGM), about 21,000 years ago, sea level is estimated to have been 125 meters lower than it is today. During a warmer climatic interval in the last interglacial stage, about 125,000 years ago, sea level was about 6 meters higher than it is today; during an even warmer interval about 2.2 million years ago, sea level is estimated to have been 25 to 50 meters higher.

The United States Geological Survey is one of the most respected government agencies in the world.

And the propagandists can't provide data to answer the challenge.....the call was for empirical data that proves that raising CO2 in the atmosphere raises temperature....glaciers retreated before the advent of the internal combustion engine....can you or can you not provide empirical data that proves that more CO2 in the atmosphere causes the temperature to increase.....correlation does not equal causation and correlatory data is not empirical data....perhaps your failure to understand that is why you have been duped so thoroughly.

And again....which part of that are you claiming is empirical proof that increased CO2 in the atmosphere increases temperature? Correlation is not causation. Just admit that you can't provide any and save yourself a lot of cutting and pasting....if it existed it would be easy enough to find.

And another swing and a miss....strike 3 and he's out of there....Again rocks...which part of that do you believe constitutes empirical proof that increased CO2 in the atmosphere results in increased temperature....please refer to the definition of empirical above.

 

[jc456]

No empirical evidence ? ! ? ! ? Are you a blithering idiot or an unmitigated liar? The IPCC's assessment reports, like the thousands of peer reviewed studies on which they're based, are FILLED with empirical evidence, as are the previous four.

Crick, please post one piece of empirical evidence from the IPCC report. Just one piece. pretty please!!!! I asked nicely.

So lets see some empirical evidence.....just so you understand what you are looking for....empirical is defined as provable or verifiable by experiencee or experiment.

If it actually exists, then you should have no problem providing some....my bet is that none will be forthcoming and that you will make the false claim that the non existent empirical evidence has already been posted...which you also will not be able to point to. So go ahead...

Because they say so.

Just because.

They have "consensus"

Quoting IPCC the "we redistribute wealth by climate scam" is like consensus squared!

LOLOL.....I know what un-reasonable and very ignorant and very ideologically driven people do when the facts don't match their crackpot 'theories'....they go into deep denial of reality and latch onto insane conspiracy theories to explain away the fact that all of the scientific experts affirm just the opposite of the anti-science drivel they've been duped into believing.....I've been watching you demented denier cult retards do this for years...

In the real world...

No Pause in Global Warming
A new study suggests that global warming continues to steadily increase
Scientific American

(excerpts)

“There is no slowdown in global warming,” Russell Vose, the head of the climate science division at the National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI), said. “Or stated differently, the trend over the past decade and half is in line with the trend since 1950.”

Temperatures have warmed 1.6°F since the 1880s. Projections indicate the temperatures could rise as much as 11°F by century’s end if greenhouse gas emissions aren’t slowed and that the rate of warming could reach levels unseen in 1,000 years by 2030s.

More Karl Et AL. bull shit propaganda? Too funny... more crap from Tom and Tom....

 

[SSDD]

Exactly the answer I expected old rocks....now the question is whether you actually believed those cut and pastes you put up contained empirical evidence that additional CO2 in the atmosphere caused temperature increases or whether you knew that they didn't and just thought you could fool someone with them....

In one case you are a dupe and in the other you are a f'ing liar....which is it?
