Walter Cronkite Reported on Climate Change, the Science Is Settled

Al Gore won a Nobel Prize for pushing your myth, what are his credentials?

Compared to you, WitheredMan? He is at least 30 times more intelligent and almost infinitely better educated and informed.

Did you pick that up that comeback during recess on the playground today?

Nope! I observed that while reading your incredibly retarded posts, you ignorant cretin.

Not my fault leftist news anchors were telling Americans we are heading into another ice age.
Just like it's not my fault leftists today claim mankind is controlling the climate of the earth.

...leftist news anchors were telling Americans we are heading into another ice age...

--but they got over it, just like they got over it a hundred years ago:

However, these are media articles, not scientific studies. A survey of peer reviewed scientific papers from 1965 to 1979 show that few papers predicted global cooling (7 in total). Significantly more papers (42 in total) predicted global warming (Peterson 2008). The large majority of climate research in the 1970s predicted the Earth would warm as a consequence of CO2. Rather than 1970s scientists predicting cooling, the opposite is the case.

Figure 1: Number of papers classified as predicting global cooling (blue) or warming (red). In no year were there more cooling papers than warming papers (Peterson 2008).

Scientific Consensus
In the 1970s, the most comprehensive study on climate change (and the closest thing to a scientific consensus at the time) was the 1975 US National Academy of Sciences/National Research Council Report. Their basic conclusion was "…we do not have a good quantitative understanding of our climate machine and what determines its course. Without the fundamental understanding, it does not seem possible to predict climate…

What were climate scientists predicting in the 1970s?

Not our fault that you are so incredibly retarded, WitheredMan.

Not our fault that you reject and deny science and reality.

Where did you get the idea, Mr Weatherman, that a meager handful of television news personalities and thousands of degreed, actively researching, publishing PhD scientists were equivalent?

You Gorebal Warmers are all anti-science.

And you know it so you call for arresting anyone who calls out your BS like any anti-science person would.

What does that twaddle have to do with the question he just asked you, moron?

You Gorebal Warmers are all anti-science.

LOLOLOLOLOLOL......right, little retard.....that's why virtually the entire world scientific community affirms the reality of human caused global warming.....all those actual scientists must be "anti-science"......ROTFLMFAO.....you are SOOOO CRAZY.

Lie? What lie?

That scientists were predicting an ice age. That's a huge stinking lie, and only cult liars tell it.

You claiming Cronkite and Smith videos were faked? That CBS and ABC national news did not warn America of an impending ice age coming?

You're actually stupid enough to think media is science?

It's only the deniers who have been predicting an ice age for the last 40 years. They -- meaning Dr. Reid Bryson, a hard core denier until he died -- were the ones predicting it in the 1970s. Your deniers have had a perfect failure record for 40 years running with your "ice age any day now!" predictions.

In contrast, the scientists have gotten everything right for 40 years. That's why the world gives them such credibility. They've earned it through success.

Weatherman, why do you worship a cult of the biggest liars and failures to ever walk the earth? I mean, your 40 year perfect failure record is unmatched anywhere. Do you just enjoy the humiliation?

Don't be jealous. Be right. Abandon your liars' cult. There's still time, and the rational side always welcomes new recruits into the light of reason.

Only mammoth thinks that that the media doesnt collaborate with scientist but Al gore does with Michael junk science Mann on inconvenient truth.


Oh yeah mammoth never wants to admit Mann was the one behind Al and the movie

You think Al Gore is a legitimate source, and you moonbats even gave him a Nobel Prize for it! And NONE of you leftards called bullshit.

Al Gore did a valuable job raising awareness of climate change, its manifold impacts, and the need to change our ghoulish way of life and doing business. For that, he has been awarded, jointly with the IPCC, the Nobel Peace Prize. You know that's different from, say, a Nobel Prize in physics, do you?

Moreover: I have seen no one, not one, none, on these boards using Al Gore as a "source", say, in the way Hansen would be, as someone providing genuine research into the world's climate. Gore could still serve as a starting point for you climate ignoramuses, teaching you a few basics you are sorely lacking, for Gore may have made a few bloopers in his advocacy, but he is infinitely more right than you science denialings.

You stupid fuck, Mann's graph has been verified by other scientists in other nations using different proxies at least a dozen times now. You are one stupid bitch to even flap yap and tell such dumb lies.

What evidence is there for the hockey stick?

What evidence is there for the hockey stick?

What the science says...
Since the hockey stick paper in 1998, there have been a number of proxy studies analysing a variety of different sources including corals, stalagmites, tree rings, boreholes and ice cores. They all confirm the original hockey stick conclusion: the 20th century is the warmest in the last 1000 years and that warming was most dramatic after 1920.

Climate Myth...
Hockey stick is broken
“In 2003 Professor McKitrick teamed with a Canadian engineer, Steve McIntyre, in attempting to replicate the chart and finally debunked it as statistical nonsense. They revealed how the chart was derived from "collation errors, unjustified truncation or extrapolation of source data, obsolete data, incorrect principal component calculations, geographical mislocations and other serious defects" -- substantially affecting the temperature index.” (John McLaughlin)



The "hockey stick" describes a reconstruction of past temperature over the past 1000 to 2000 years using tree-rings, ice cores, coral and other records that act as proxies for temperature (Mann 1999). The reconstruction found that global temperature gradually cooled over the last 1000 years with a sharp upturn in the 20th Century. The principal result from the hockey stick is that global temperatures over the last few decades are the warmest in the last 1000 years.

Figure 1: Northern Hemisphere temperature changes estimated from various proxyrecords shown in blue (Mann 1999). Instrumental data shown in red. Note the large uncertainty (grey area) as you go further back in time.

A critique of the hockey stick was published in 2004 (McIntyre 2004), claiming the hockey stick shape was the inevitable result of the statistical method used (principal components analysis). They also claimed temperatures over the 15th Century were derived from one bristlecone pine proxy record. They concluded that the hockey stick shape was not statistically significant.

An independent assessment of Mann's hockey stick was conducted by the National Center for Atmospheric Research (Wahl 2007). They reconstructed temperatures employing a variety of statistical techniques (with and without principal components analysis). Their results found slightly different temperatures in the early 15th Century. However, they confirmed the principal results of the original hockey stick - that the warming trend and temperatures over the last few decades are unprecedented over at least the last 600 years.
