climate change

Continued from here. Nothing wrong with the paper it’s your understanding that is lacking. In fact it says pretty much the opposite of what you seem to think it does. It’s arguing against there being any change in the long term trend. Curious statement, since the paper you base this on...

In case you haven't heard the southwest is heading for a mega drought. You all might have missed it with the media establishment falling all over itself to report on the cold out east that somehow proves climate change is wrong. But out west we are facing a huge disaster. My own community only...

This thread is a continuation of the original Global Warming discussion. That thread may be found here. Thank you. You're completely wrong in claiming that there was a negative forcing from the solar factor. Why are you assuming that when its output was still greater than its average over...

Would a CO2 label on products be a good idea? should it be mandated to label the CO2 emissions that went into the production and transport etc of a product? So people are able to make an informed decision in buying a product. sometimes products get transported around alot and the consumers is...

In spring this year filmmaker David Breashears took almost 400 images with a 300mm lens from a mountain near Everest. They're stitched together into a panoramic view so you can zoom in and navigate around. It gives fantastic detail - you can see climbers on the Lhotse Face miles from where the...

More delay, which is bad, but at it represents a step forward at least, which is good.

Since we are "riding the tiger" of Global Warming (A or null A) this may be a solution. http://www.independent.co.uk/environment/climate-change/norfolk-volcano-experiment-offers-hope-in-fight-against-climate-change-2354305.html Tap water? I wonder if it's fluoridated? :cool:

I wasn't sure if I should put this here or in politics but I kind of want to get the opinion of the science minded crowd. Backstory: we have local education board elections coming up this November and someone I sorta know is going to try and get on it by unseating a long time member with some...

"Substantial number of scientists has manipulated data to keep the money rolling in" So says Rick Perry. He's having quite a first week, huh? He's hitting every whacktard talking point like he won't have another chance...

I haven't really participated in the global warming topics here, as I don't know much about it. A forum search for this phrase turned up empty. Anyway, I thought that this seemed a little alarmist at the time, and it apparently hasn't come to fruition. Can someone enlighten me? Have islands...

OK, as in prior years, this is a thread on Arctic Sea Ice for tracking sea ice over the course of the 2011 melt season. A few rules about this thread; 1. This is not an AGW thread. Posting AGW topics in here is explicitly forbidden by moderator directive. 2. This is about Sea Ice only. 3...

Reading about bio-char and carbon credits has me wondering about some slippery slopes ahead. Although bio-char is potentially a soil amendment, and plastic is not, wouldn't burying plastic also sequester carbon?

Since this is now the forum for all things Nazi, I thought you'd like this. Global Warming or Springtime for Hitler? :eye-poppi R. Mark Musser, The American “Thinker”: The secret purpose of climate warming alarmists is to kill all the Jews. :jaw-dropp...

Folks, hi, Many of you may not be aware that Judith Curry has her own blog now. In her latest post: Heresy and the creation of monsters She says quite a few things that are going to probably burn any bridges she might have left between herself and her erstwhile colleagues in the climatology...

Hat tip to DoctorAtlantis for discovering this and mentioning it on Twitter... A new film on the chemtrails conspiracy theory has been produced and is going to have its "world premiere" next week. It is called "What in the World are they Spraying?". Here is a short trailer: zn5B1J2HGnE As...

Howdy all, I have a colleague who is trying to get me to read a book by Chris Horner called "Red Hot Lies". I'm too busy to read it, and from what little I've seen via my Google-fu it seems that Mr. Horner is a climate change denier, but I don't know what specific claims he makes in his book...

I am trying to visualize what the Earth will look like circa 10,000 AD assuming present models of global warming are correct. For example: Here we see North America divided into three smaller continents. I am looking for more like this, ideally a world map of what we would expect Earth...

So, we all come together, the peoples of Earth, and solve the Climate Change issue with some sort of new technology. Global Warming is stopped, we all gather on a huge grassy hill, join hands, buy the world a Coke and sing songs. But what is the global temperature that Earth Climate is going to...

Hello Members, It has been noted that there have been a lot of threads created on the topic of global warming. A great number of these topics rapidly descend into bickering and other rule violations. Although one of the biggest threads was put on moderated status, it seems that many of the...

This letter was written by a co-worker of mine, who gave me permission (in fact he explicitly encouraged me) to distribute and forward it at will. I thought it might be interesting to the JREF so I'm posting it here. If possible I'd like it to be featured on SWIFT but I'm not sure who I should...

Recently, Swedish television conducted a survey of scientists active in Sweden on the questions around the IPCC, the so called "climategate" affair and the science surrounding AGW. Through the ISI database, they aquired 87 scientists who had published articles on the subject "global climate...

Good news for fans of Anthony Watts and the wattsupwiththat blog: NCDC has found that there is a small bias in temperature data from poorly sited weather stations. Yes, according to a study that has been accepted for publication in the Journal of Geophysical Research, poorly sited stations...

For those who don't know, "Skeptical Science" is a website that deals with the various GW-skeptic & denial claims (it's good for both, because some people are genuinely skeptical of GW while others merely deny it out of ideology). This seems like a growing trend... deniers seem to be resorting...

I just wanted to pass along a great website - Skeptical Science: Examining Global Warming Skepticism - which is an index of common claims against GW and effective counter-arguments. This is very similar in format to the famous Index to Creationist Claims by Talk Origins. There's even a free...

The right wing talking points have been echoing the stupidity that because it is snowing more than usual in DC and the surrounding areas, that proves global warming is not occurring. I don't want to argue with the agw deniers in this thread. Please go away if you want to argue against the...

I was recently involved in a discussion with A.A.Alfie about climate change in this thread. We both agree that the earth is warming. I'd like to ask the good folks at JREF what they think we ought to do about global warming. What practical things can be done to ameliorate the effects of global...

A happy New Year to all 27 of Michael Mann's colleagues, who have received this fine letter. In the US, whistleblowers can receive large sums of money whether or not a prosecution occurs. Of course this post having to do with scientific fraud needs to be in .... hmmm.... well the Science...
