Climate Change is not mentioned in my 1999 version of Oxford Dictionary of science

[Foxfyre]

When you say "esteemed scientist", who are you quoting? I have never heard anyone call him a scientist and he has never made such a claim.

No schools are using Gore's books as textbooks. But you are right that if we don't act immediately and in a fully committed fashion, we are all fucked as fucked can get.

He won a Nobel Prize for science for Pete's sake and his documentary won an Oscar.

"The National Wildlife Federation has, in cooperation with Mr. Gore, and with the support of film producer Particpant Media and the Tosa Foundation, developed an Inconvenient Truth high school curriculum that focuses on the science of global warming and educational activities about global warming solutions." (You'll find Gore's book in almost all public school libraries.)

He has testified as a climate scientist before Congress and has been included as a scientific speaker at many climate summits and conferences.

Care to try again?

Gore won the Nobel Peace Prize. There are several Nobel science prizes (physics, chemistry, biology) but no Science prize.

Putting a book in a school library is not the same as selecting it as a textbook.

So you just ignored the part about the curriculum. or what he got the Nobel Peace Prize for etc. . .

It must be something in the water they drink. . .

You have not told me of any public school that uses Gore's book for a textbook and he did not get the Nobel Peace Prize for being a scientist.

Global warming
Noun​

A long-term gradual increase in the average temperature of the earth's atmosphere, waters, and land surface, spec. that occurring in the wake of the Industrial Revolution, becoming apparent from the late 20th century onwards, and linked to increased emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases caused by human activity.

1. 1957
   

   This continued pouring forth of waste gases may upset the rather delicate carbon dioxide balance in the earth's general atmosphere and..a large scale global warming, with radical climate changes may result.

   Hammond (Indiana) Times 6 November b2/1\
   
   
2. 1977
   

   Even a doubling of carbon dioxide could be serious: a global warming of nearly three degrees centigrade, and possibly over eleven degrees in parts of the Arctic.

   Economist 4 June 89/1
   
   
3. 2006
   

   Work on early Eocene rocks from the Norwegian Sea suggests that the rapid global warming at this time may have been due to the conversion of carbon-rich sediments to methane.

   D. H. Erwin, Extinction vii. 176
   
   
4. 2020
   

   For the slow wind speeds during the last monsoon, experts are blaming climate change catalysed by global warming and erratic rainfall patterns.

It's past your bedtime sonny. Maybe if you didn't stay up so late you could read better. Maybe.

You said "The National Wildlife Federation has, in cooperation with Mr. Gore, and with the support of film producer Particpant Media and the Tosa Foundation, developed an Inconvenient Truth high school curriculum that focuses on the science of global warming and educational activities about global warming solutions."

That says they developed a curriculum. It does not say any school system ever adopted it.

Besides which, I suspect that the material they developed is perfectly suitable. I see nothing wrong with teaching our children mainstream science, particularly on critical issues such a AGW. Do you?

My Oxford Dictionary of Science is very thick and loaded with all issues Science. So I opened it this afternoon to read what it says about Climate change. Surely this was in the 1999 issue of this important Science dictionary. But nope.

Climate is mentioned. It even says that the Climate version we all know was conceived by Vladimir Koppen in 1918. But change is not mentioned.

How could something claimed to be settled not defined by Koppen?

It has extentive words about Climate. How you define Climate is there. The impact of geology and oceans is there.

So who the hell dreamed up climate change as an important issue? Was it Al Gore?

Because the climate became political after 1999.

So what? On what page is the Webb Telescope? How about SpaceX? What a stupid gdamn thread.

And was well deserved.

Because the climate became political after 1999.

Because right wing idiots made it political, starting with that pile of shit Gingrich.

Link?

It would take a bit more reading than one article. I gave you a starting point. Good luck.

Well, the onus is on you. Just list all the Right Wing people you're referring to because you must know them in order to make the claim. So I don't need luck, you just need to clarify your claim.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Well, the onus is on you.

*if i cared about convincing you


Which I do not.

 

[Captain Caveman]

The climate in 1997 was beginning to get dragged into the political world, obviously the dictionaries in 1999 still hadn't caught up -

How climate change became political

Cultural beliefs, politics and the media have all contributed to evolving attitudes to the crisis

*if i cared about convincing you


Which I do not.

If you make a claim, just simply back it up. It forms part of the debate, otherwise, it's difficult to debate against hot air. I backed my claim up.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

If you make a claim, just simply back it up.

Sometimes I do and sometimes I don't. Again, I don't really care to try to convince people that arent going to believe me anyway.

But Newt did the bidding of his masters.

1997 and 1999 was within the Clinton days. I can see why you refuse to back your claim up.

So which Right Wingers made it political in the Clinton days?
