Global warming?

Well, if you live near the coast and your foundations are in sand. It was underwater once, and will be again in the next 50 years. So, sell now is all i can say.

I'll buy on the hill, like all those good religious songs. Build upon the rock not upon the sand

So, why are most churches built on hills?

The wonderful thing about doubt is that you don't need to prove your claim: you only need to plant a seed of doubt to make somebody apathetic about an issue. "Merchants of doubt" are those who are paid to plant these seeds. They are pundits, and often scientists, who use rhetoric and pseudoscience to counter popular claims.

"The models are wrong!" they keep screaming. But they aren't. In the mid 90s, when Earth Day events were actually broadcast on prime-time TV, the 'models', were predicting that the temperatures would rise due to human effects, and this would cause fewer storms that were more powerful, rising sea levels, and more drought.

Well, since then, the 10 hottest years on record have occurred. Sea levels are rising at a significantly faster rate than the average of the past several thousand years. It turns out that the models were right.

The Weather Channel reported today that we have had , to date, the lowest number of tornados since 2004. We go in cycles people.

Don't you ever feel like you're wasting your time arguing with morons? They'll never see past the BS fed to them by their corporate masters through Faux News

Yes, I do feel like I'm wasting my time ... to the point where argument feels both self-defeating and a bit immature.
But they have to be countered from time to time, I guess.

Just now reading a fine book by Chris Mooney, "The Republican Brain." Talks about the psychological reasons conservatives deny science. Fascinating. I highly recommend it.

Of course, I can't be sure that tobymerwin is a Republican (though my guess is he is), nor would I deny that a book called "The Democrat Brain" could not also be written.

But I do think liberals are less controlled by their affinity groups than are conservatives. Just my hunch, though I'm open to discussion.

IPCC head confesses global warming is "religion".
IPCC admits no change in 20 years.
Majority of data simply made up. There is a term for it in the scientific world, but it escapes me at the moment. This is where global warming departs from science. Everything after the manufactured data has nothing to do with science. For example, the massively flawed & manipulated computer models.

Regressive / Liberal / Leftist thinking is a psychosis and doesn't respond well to treatment because it's absolute aversion to fact, logic & reason.

You know the thing called the permanent Ice Pack?

It's not so permanent anymore.

Link please. After all, you love 'facts,' right?

2014 was the hottest year ever [ source ], and all of the 10 hottest years on record have come since 1998 [ source ].

There is a term for it in the scientific world, but it escapes me at the moment.

What a surprise.

This is where global warming departs from science. Everything after the manufactured data has nothing to do with science. For example, the massively flawed & manipulated computer models.

The computer models continue to improve and are in fact now proving quite accurate, though scientists -- doing what scientists do -- will continue refining them.

Lol. What a joke. You could be talking about yourself.

"dry labbing" is the term for making up the data to suit your desires, regardless of reality

Fine, but what reason do you have for saying that's what's been going on in climate science?
The existence of such a term, by itself, is neither relevant nor interesting.

There was a lot more in that post that you have not responded to at all.

Ok, so remind me,where's the global warming? I'm sitting here in 14 inches of snow, single digit temperatures. Gimme the global warming!

Step back a few parsecs, it will all make sense.

So. Let me get this straight. Any weather that is below normal, normal or above normal is Global warming?

Let Fuzzy get this straight: if an unusually cold day means that the Earth is cooling, does an unusually hot day mean that the Earth is warming?

Thermometers don't lie. The Earth is warming no matter how you spin reality.

But how do the models perform?

If you lived on an Island in the Pacific.

You can wave to me from the top of a Coconut Palm which, at one time was on dry sand.

Cause, that is the reality.

Ask Islanders why they need to move to Mainlands.

10/4 Big buddy?

Thermometers do not lie but the people who read them can.

I can't believe people who build on beaches and sand, think one day the tide is not going to come in. Waaaaaaay in. ]

Won't tell you about what is happening to Bribie and Beachmere.

Do their models lie? A model with a kappa or near zero seems fairy reliable.

Any researcher or organization caught lying about their research should be stripped of their licenses, de-funded and publicly shamed.

nothing of yours worth responding to... 2014 claim was recanted by NOAA / NASA and the models are still junk

The only professionals still claiming global warming are still getting taxpayer money, the rest have given up the con and are looking for real work. The people still claiming are simply "useful idiots".

Have a nice day.
