I have to ask myself what kind of person, after the events of the last week, would continue to believe in the HOCKEY STICK CHART. Have you been paying attention to whats been posted here? The data dump that proved beyond any shadow that what the IPCC crew was producing may have been fraud, but was never science. Hundred of emails outlining in great detail the fraud and deception behind the science. The one thing right you posted is that nobody has their own facts. But the hockey stick guys sure tried. They wanted to lock things up so they could have their own little Socialist paradise and did not care what happened to the rest of us. They went so far as to break the law to keep anybody else from getting a good look at what they were doing. After the data dump we now know why.flying_eagle wrote:Alexjrgreen,
You state the obvious about AGW and I agree.
Here is an example of scientists working with the arguments used by skeptics even in this forum of prior cold and warm periods of the last 1000 years. Scientists are just getting better at explaining and modeling the regional differences in weather. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/8381317.stm
For me, it is a waste of time trying to convince skeptics. For me, I didn't study science to remain stupid and this idea of AGW is a no-brainer fact. Fact1, On earth, without GHG the average global temp would be down by at least 32C. Venus is hotter due GHG, just as we are. In fact, Venus is slightly hotter than Mercury which is even nearer the sun. Compared to Mercury, Venus is almost twice the distance and receives 1/4 the solar irradiance due to a famous equation. Fact2 we are adding to our level of GHG. Any argument denying these facts just shows being ill-informed. Regarding climate change:Short summary by NOAA: http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/climate/glo ... ng.html#q1As DOE Dr. Steven Chu said, "Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but not to their own facts."
All the skeptics ever asked was to get the facts straight. But the AGW cabal could never deal with that. Medieval Warm period didn't fit the hockey stick, make it go away. Solar variation changing temperature, well just lie to the friendly media who didn't bother to question anything the cabal said. Attack the skeptics because they can't get published while making sure the journals are under you thumb. An inconvenient paper gets published make sure that horrible editor gets sacked and make sure that paper never gets used for the all important IPCC report.
This isn't science. It's a mockery of science. If you had truly studied science you would know that. Otherwise, for you, AGW is a religion, not a science. In a real science you welcome questions not attempt to suppress questions as this bunch did. The mere fact that these people acted the way they did should have told you that what they were doing was anything but science. Read all the links I posted and ask yourself if you can still believe in AGW based on a fraud.
