Global Warming Deniers Become More Desperate By the Day

[RollingThunder]

This article by Dr. David Suzuki, a noted scientist and author, really nails it. Most of the world now recognizes the reality and seriousness of Anthropogenic Global Warming and its consequent climate changes. The astroturfed cult of AGW denial that the fossil fuel industry has ginned up is doomed to sink even further into ignominy and disgrace and laughableness as the world continues to obviously heat up and the climate changes become even more apparent.

Global Warming Deniers Become More Desperate By the Day
Dr. David Suzuki
August 5, 2014
The Heartland Institute’s recent International Climate Change Conference in Las Vegas illustrates climate change deniers’ desperate confusion. As Bloomberg News noted, “Heartland’s strategy seemed to be to throw many theories at the wall and see what stuck.” A who’s who of fossil fuel industry supporters and anti-science shills variously argued that global warming is a myth; that it’s happening but natural—a result of the sun or “Pacific Decadal Oscillation;” that it’s happening but we shouldn’t worry about it; or that global cooling is the real problem."

The only common thread, Bloomberg reported, was the preponderance of attacks on and jokes about Al Gore: “It rarely took more than a minute or two before one punctuated the swirl of opaque and occasionally conflicting scientific theories.”

Personal attacks are common among deniers. Their lies are continually debunked, leaving them with no rational challenge to overwhelming scientific evidence that the world is warming and that humans are largely responsible. Comments under my columns about global warming include endless repetition of falsehoods like “there’s been no warming for 18 years,” “it’s the sun,” and references to “communist misanthropes,” “libtard warmers,” alarmists and worse…

Far worse. Katharine Hayhoe, director of Texas Tech’s Climate Science Center and an evangelical Christian, had her email inbox flooded with hate mail and threats after conservative pundit Rush Limbaugh denounced her, and right-wing blogger Mark Morano published her email address. “I got an email the other day so obscene I had to file a police report,” Hayhoe said in an interview on the Responding to Climate Change website. “They mentioned my child. It had all kinds of sexual perversions in it—it just makes your skin crawl.”

One email chastised her for taking “a man’s job” and called for her public execution, finishing with, “If you have a child, then women in the future will be even more leery of lying to get ahead, when they see your baby crying next to the basket next to the guillotine.”

Many attacks came from fellow Christians unable to accept that humans can affect “God’s creation.” That’s a belief held even by a few well-known scientists and others held up as climate experts, including Roy Spencer, David Legates and Canadian economist Ross McKitrick. They’ve signed the Cornwall Alliance’s Evangelical Declaration on Global Warming, which says, “We believe Earth and its ecosystems—created by God’s intelligent design and infinite power and sustained by His faithful providence—are robust, resilient, self-regulating, and self-correcting, admirably suited for human flourishing, and displaying His glory. Earth’s climate system is no exception.” This worldview predetermines their approach to the science.

Lest you think nasty, irrational comments are exclusively from fringe elements, remember the gathering place for most deniers, the Heartland Institute, has compared those who accept the evidence for human-caused climate change to terrorists. Similar language was used to describe the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in a full-page ad in USA Today and Politico from the Environmental Policy Alliance, a front group set up by PR firm Berman and Company, which has attacked environmentalists, labour-rights advocates, health organizations—even Mothers Against Drunk Driving and the Humane Society—on behalf of funders and clients including Monsanto, Wendy’s and tobacco giant Phillip Morris. The terrorism meme was later picked up by Pennsylvania Republican congressman Mike Kelly.

Fortunately, most people don’t buy irrational attempts to disavow science. A Forum Research poll found 81 percent of Canadians accept the reality of global warming, and 58 percent agree it’s mostly human-caused. An Ipsos MORI poll found that, although the U.S. has a higher number of climate change deniers than 20 countries surveyed, 54 percent of Americans believe in human-caused climate change. (Research also shows climate change denial is most prevalent in English-speaking countries, especially in areas “served” by media outlets owned by Rupert Murdoch, who rejects climate science.)

It’s time to shift attention from those who sow doubt and confusion, either out of ignorance or misanthropic greed, to those who want to address a real, serious problem. The BBC has the right idea, instructing its reporters to improve accuracy by giving less air time to people with anti-science views, including climate change deniers.

Solutions exist, but every delay makes them more difficult and costly.

Dr. Suzuki is the desperate one he has to go around calling people stupid names like, deniers

noted Scientist who talks like a idiot. he should just call them, poo poo head

I won't bother with someone who can't make their point without calling people dumb names

Nice. Proves anyone can write a story. The problem is the numbers are wrong. If they were right, why wouldn't this be a top story nightly?

Fact is most people are asking questions. Exactly what the scare mongers don't want.

Yeah, keep those deniers from talking. LOL
BTW, just get us that experiment that proves 120 ppm of CO2 causes a temperature increase.

Those you refer to won't want to be on my side. See I have facts of observed temperatures that don't match 98% of those you refer to's models. We be in a pause, even the IPCC agrees. So, unless you have something else, I be ..........WINNING.

Perhaps if you thought for yourself rather than follow loser scientists you'd feel good about yourself. See, there isn't news on this. Go to all three major broadcast media and nothing about climate or GW. so you be .... LoSiNg

And still no experiment right?

Warmist On Why They Don’t Call It “Global Warming” Anymore: Words “Global Warming Sound Sort Of Reassuring, Like A Warm Fireplace In The Wintertime”…


Goracle

Of course the real reason is because there has been zero global temperature growth over the last 17 years.

Via Co.Exist:


When legendary graphic designer Milton Glaser created the “I Love NY” symbol in 1977 for a government ad campaign, he didn’t know it would be a ubiquitous icon nearly 40 years later. Now, at the age of 85, Glaser is hoping to recreate some of that viral success for an issue he’s personally most passionate about: fighting climate change.

“It’s the most important issue on Earth–the end of the Earth,” Glaser says. “At a certain point you say, why are people not paying attention to this? Partially, it’s that people are cynical about anything they hear after being subjected to advertising and persuasion their whole lives. You cannot affect people through persuasion anymore.” [...]

The campaign’s slogan is “It’s not warming, it’s dying.” Glaser wanted to change the language around climate change. “The words ‘global warming’ can’t provide a sense of desire to act, but rather sound sort of reassuring, like a warm fireplace in the wintertime,” he says. “The phrase itself is the beginning of misunderstanding.”

Too bad you're so ignorant, clueless, confused and gullible, Stupidanie. 'Global Warming' and 'Climate Change' mean two different things and both terms have been in use in the scientific community since the 1960s. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change was established in 1988, numbnuts.

'Global Warming' refers to the observed rapidly rising temperature trends for the Earth's air, land, ice and oceans, and the further temperature increases that are scientifically predicted to happen as excess CO2 continues to build up in the Earth's atmosphere. 'Climate Change' refers to the already observed changes and the future predicted changes in the Earth's climate patterns that are being caused by the CO2 driven warming.

And, BTW, your are a "DENIER"....a denier of reality....and that is extremely "stupid"....but it is your choice to put your ideological imperatives over the scientific facts of the matter and to believe the misinformation and lies your rightwingnut sources feed you....so too bad if people call you entirely accurate names.....

Your usual delusional insanity, Klod. Facts are posted here all the time, facts are available at many sources of real science on the internet, you're just in such deep denial of reality, you pretend they don't exist.

Here's some facts for you.

Global Warming Fast Facts
National Geographic News
Updated June 14, 2007
Is It Happening?

Yes. Earth is already showing many signs of worldwide climate change.

• Average temperatures have climbed 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit (0.8 degree Celsius) around the world since 1880, much of this in recent decades, according to NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies.

• The rate of warming is increasing. The 20th century's last two decades were the hottest in 400 years and possibly the warmest for several millennia, according to a number of climate studies. And the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports that 11 of the past 12 years are among the dozen warmest since 1850.

• The Arctic is feeling the effects the most. Average temperatures in Alaska, western Canada, and eastern Russia have risen at twice the global average, according to the multinational Arctic Climate Impact Assessment report compiled between 2000 and 2004.

• Arctic ice is rapidly disappearing, and the region may have its first completely ice-free summer by 2040 or earlier. Polar bears and indigenous cultures are already suffering from the sea-ice loss.

• Glaciers and mountain snows are rapidly melting—for example, Montana's Glacier National Park now has only 27 glaciers, versus 150 in 1910. In the Northern Hemisphere, thaws also come a week earlier in spring and freezes begin a week later.

• Coral reefs, which are highly sensitive to small changes in water temperature, suffered the worst bleaching—or die-off in response to stress—ever recorded in 1998, with some areas seeing bleach rates of 70 percent. Experts expect these sorts of events to increase in frequency and intensity in the next 50 years as sea temperatures rise.

• An upsurge in the amount of extreme weather events, such as wildfires, heat waves, and strong tropical storms, is also attributed in part to climate change by some experts.

Are Humans Causing It?

• "Very likely," the IPCC said in a February 2007 report.

The report, based on the work of some 2,500 scientists in more than 130 countries, concluded that humans have caused all or most of the current planetary warming. Human-caused global warming is often called anthropogenic climate change.

• Industrialization, deforestation, and pollution have greatly increased atmospheric concentrations of water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide, all greenhouse gases that help trap heat near Earth's surface. (See an interactive feature on how global warming works.)

• Humans are pouring carbon dioxide into the atmosphere much faster than plants and oceans can absorb it.

• These gases persist in the atmosphere for years, meaning that even if such emissions were eliminated today, it would not immediately stop global warming.

• Some experts point out that natural cycles in Earth's orbit can alter the planet's exposure to sunlight, which may explain the current trend. Earth has indeed experienced warming and cooling cycles roughly every hundred thousand years due to these orbital shifts, but such changes have occurred over the span of several centuries. Today's changes have taken place over the past hundred years or less.

• Other recent research has suggested that the effects of variations in the sun's output are "negligible" as a factor in warming, but other, more complicated solar mechanisms could possibly play a role.

What's Going to Happen?

A follow-up report by the IPCC released in April 2007 warned that global warming could lead to large-scale food and water shortages and have catastrophic effects on wildlife.

• Sea level could rise between 7 and 23 inches (18 to 59 centimeters) by century's end, the IPCC's February 2007 report projects. Rises of just 4 inches (10 centimeters) could flood many South Seas islands and swamp large parts of Southeast Asia.

• Some hundred million people live within 3 feet (1 meter) of mean sea level, and much of the world's population is concentrated in vulnerable coastal cities. In the U.S., Louisiana and Florida are especially at risk.

• Glaciers around the world could melt, causing sea levels to rise while creating water shortages in regions dependent on runoff for fresh water.

• Strong hurricanes, droughts, heat waves, wildfires, and other natural disasters may become commonplace in many parts of the world. The growth of deserts may also cause food shortages in many places.

• More than a million species face extinction from disappearing habitat, changing ecosystems, and acidifying oceans.

• The ocean's circulation system, known as the ocean conveyor belt, could be permanently altered, causing a mini-ice age in Western Europe and other rapid changes.

• At some point in the future, warming could become uncontrollable by creating a so-called positive feedback effect. Rising temperatures could release additional greenhouse gases by unlocking methane in permafrost and undersea deposits, freeing carbon trapped in sea ice, and causing increased evaporation of water.

It's always so funny to hear people say "everyone else is getting desperate" when we're not.

If anyone is getting desperate, it's the people who are so freaked out that anyone dares to question the orthodoxy, that they feel the need to spam threads and articles... "Everyone else is desperate!".

The fact that they can't even portray what we believe without lying, proves how desperate they are. You don't see skeptics saying "Global warming alarmists desperate to prove sun doesn't cause heat".

Yet the eco-nuts can't even bring themselves to admit the truth, that none of us has ever denied the globe has warmed.... of course it has.... since at least the last ice age.

What we deny specifically, is that man made CO2, alone.... is the cause of all changes in global temps.

But they are so freaked out, so desperate, they have to fraudulently claim we deny "global warming". It's so ironic these people.

The OP is drivel.....

The OP is entirely accurate.....what is actually happening is that your pitiful excuse for a brain is just filled with drivel....and lies, misinformation, pseudo-science, propaganda and crackpot conspiracy theories....
