global warming denial

I don't know enough about climate change to take a personal position on whether we have global warming or not. People keep telling me "97% of scientists say there is global warming that's caused by humans." Where did this 97% figure come from? I was recently told that the past two years have...

This is the strangest article I've ever seen on weather.com. https://weather.com/storms/hurricane/news/2018-09-07-florence-unusual-track-united-states-east-coast It starts off with the title: The article never even addresses that, as far as I can tell. And kind of out of the blue, they...

Its cold in much of the USA, therefore global warming is fake. Haven't you heard? Just in case: yes that was sarcasm, but I've heard it said in earnest a few times this year already. This is a continuation of the Global warming discussion IV thread.

This thread is continued from here. A few years ago I stumbled across this forum (technically JREF's back then) in my search for knowledge and to satisfy my curiosity. I was one of those 'fence sitters' where I wasn't sure what to believe. Since then, I have moved closer to town to shorten...

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...

Apparently, CNBC was soliciting for an economist to write a report finding that global warming was a hoax in anticipation of what was going to be found in (since-released) bipartisan The Economic Risks of Climate Change in the United States Report. They sent this request, however, to deSmog...

Top climate expert's sensational claim of government meddling in crucial UN report Daily Mail

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...

On Christian forums there's this infamous troll in the Creation and Evolution subsection (well, "infamous" to me - a lot of other atheists and skeptics there find his trolling entertaining) that has as his tag "Science can take a hike". This Daily Show segment represents his particular...

It doesnt seem to be, but also does seem to be since it interviews some denialists. Judge for yourself. I do hope not, as it seems quite a high profile one. BPUcfQS-slo

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...

Slashdot reports this morning that the Utah state assembly has passed a resolution (with no legal power) decrying global warming and demanding that the Environmental Protection Agency cease it's efforts to regulate CO2 and such until such time as the phenomenon can be "proved"...

Ok, this thread is for bill and others to make the arguments for and against the connection between the USG carrying out the attacks of 9/11, and the alleged lie made by the scientific community (and others) who make the argument that man is significantly contributing to Global Warming. and....go

From "Penn Say's: "Penn discusses some doubts concerning the events of September 11th." Now, the woo at ATS are thinking that Penn has switched sides. I watched this, and to me he is speaking about Global Warming (which he thinks Gore is not being honest) He does not want to become like a...

No smoking hot spot 1. The greenhouse signature is missing. We have been looking and measuring for years, and cannot find it. 2. There is no evidence to support the idea that carbon emissions cause significant global warming. None. 3. The satellites that measure the world's temperature all say...

Christopher Horner, who apparently has written a book called The Politically Incorrect Guide to Global Warming (they were supposed to take out "Politically") was on the Daily Show tonight, and even though Jon Stewart was trying to be polite, he didn't fair too well, and he got really flustered...

Here is a link to an article in the "Telegraph:" http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml;jsessionid=KLUUXEUVDSXJNQFIQMGCFF4AVCBQUIV0?xml=/news/2006/12/10/nclimate10.xml "The report paints a bleak picture for future generations unless greenhouse gas emissions are reduced. It predicts that...

I have never been particularly interested in this issue but there is now so much media coverage about it, I thought I'd better do some research to find some answers. I came across junkscience.com among others and read a few articles. This is where I currently stand: 1. The average temperature...

Is it a chance for the UK to have decent weather, and maybe produce some decent vino? Or is it more serious than that... The Archbishop of Canterbury has just blasted the Govt for saying it won't meet it's carbon emmission reduction target by 2010...

I just finished reading John Stossel's "Give Me a Break" and he cites a petition signed by 17000 scientists who don't think that Global Warming is primarily caused by humans (or something like that). At risk of this becoming a rehash of the Global Warming thread, could someone post a link or...

Meteorologist Likens Fear of Global Warming To 'Religious Belief' Washington (CNSNews.com) - An MIT meteorologist Wednesday dismissed alarmist fears about human induced global warming as nothing more than 'religious beliefs.' "Do you believe in global warming? That is a religious question. So...

The denial of global warming, and the denial that burning fossil fuels contributes, has about the same intellectual honesty as holocaust denial. OK, overstated slightly, but not by much. So let's grant a small degree of uncertainty... Inaction is unacceptable when when best science indicates...

Apparently Bob Park believes the earth is getting warmer and that anyone who disagrees is a conservative: My reply is thus: So far no reply. I'm not expecting one, but its worth a go...
