    This has really turned into a worthless meaningless thread IMHO!!! What is the value of continued crying CO2,CO2.... without offering any meaningful realistic suggestions to wean ourselves away from carbon based fuels..... Its worthless to attempt to discuss the topic simply because all involved parties are staunchly following their own chosen political party lines.

    On another interesting note, Japan is to Burn Highly-Radioactive Debris from the Fukushima incident!! Talk about man-made pollution the atmosphere that has a very real chance of affecting all life on earth as we know it. Fact is as long as tons of unprotected radioactive materials sit upon the top of a disheveled building on the verge of following down is threatening all physical life one earth I can see little reason to even contemplate or worry about the politics of so called global warming or CO2 at this moment.

    NO WAY

    THIS THREAD IS AWESOME,

    and there are several threads dealing with possible solutions, this one covers the question, are humans to blame ;-)

    This thread is perfect, its certainly showing the ludicrous nature of the deniers nonscience/nonsense very effectively. Everything from some ridiculous view that smoking isn't tied to lung cancer to deniers quoting so called scientists who are demonstrably on the take from the oil and gas industry. Its a fantastic example of how completely ridiculous the denial machines logic really is. We've got deniers who don't even comprehend the basics yet insist there view is correct. Little things like "ice melting causes warming" ahahahahahahhhahaha, or that all that excess CO2 "isn't" from the use of fossil fuels. We get arguments about everything but the actual science, its political, its a scam, its all happened before, its a gigantic conspiracy <-------- my personal fave, water vapor drives temp, CO2 isn't a forcing agent, Ahahahahahhahahahahahhhaahha

    The arguments presented by the deniers are the best argument FOR climate shift theory there could ever be. THIS THREAD IS PERFECT, just check some of the incredibly ignorant things being claimed by the deniers and tell me you haven't busted out in hysterics regularly.

    Couldn't be a better example of how ludicrous some of these deniers beliefs really are. The simple truth Bamby is that the thread is a treasure trove of failed denier arguments, a virtual comedy show that simply couldn't be believed unless its actually experienced.

    Even the effort to apply a political agenda to it all again by suggesting the the scientific opinions are based on a political affiliation, lend a strong argument that the deniers simply refuse to acknowledge the scientific findings and would rather believe its some political conspiracy. Ahahhahahahahhahahaahhahhahhhahhahahahahaha

    personally I think both parties politicians should be strung up by there vitals and left hanging as an example to the next steaming pile of politicians who wish to enter orifice. Kinda goofs up the whole theory when most scientists refuse to affiliate themselves with either party eh.

    And then there is the constant effort to suggest something else is a bigger or badder problem, as if the climate change issue which results in an uninhabitable world is the only effort we're making to wreck the place. Of course it isn't, but that doesn't mean we ignore one disaster simply because we've got a few of them to deal with.

    Yup nuclear sucks, and our track record with it is pretty abysmal, but our track record dealing with climate shift is just as bad and worse yet, leads to mass extinction, in the not to distant future.

    The thread is a stellar example of denial at its worst/best, and serves to show anyone with an open mind just how silly and ridiculous the deniers arguments really are. I for one give it two thumbs up.

    I believe our readers can decide for themselves if the deniers are willing to discuss the actual science or if there Gish Galloping around it to any song they can dream up.

    personally I wouldn't miss this thread for the world, its virtually turned into the morning funnies for which I am most grateful, awesome way to start my day. If only I could get some of these guys to do a few stick figures my mornings would be complete. ;-)
    Cheers

    This thread is hilarious. Mostly about Yobi nipping off to the store (it takes 20 minutes) and wether Troy is on night shift or not.

    Like two boxers in the ring they are exhausted and have forgotten what they are doing there. Niether reads each others posts.

    Bos comes in occasionally when he gets up in the morning and gets them going again.

    Like two old antique dolls with a pull string Co2 Co2 Co2 me me me me.

    Its enlightening to see what your life can lower to. It a warning for all of us.

    I didn't know you were a pundit. Thanks for explaining Troy's and my posts to Boston. Nobody else needed an explanation, but Bostons brain is so full of CO2, it MUST be oxygen starved! :D

    Boston keeps inventing and setting up straw men so he can knock them down.

    Boston thinks everybody here must be stupid.

    He believes because he CLAIMS deniers say CO2 isn't a greenhouse gas, or isn't a by product of combustion, or that none of CO2 is manmade, that means they had to have said it.

    Nobody on this thread said any of that, except Boston. But if anybody ever would say those things, Boston can put them in their place quick enough.

    Actually I think he doesn't often read the posts. Doesn't actually respond to what is written. Just responds to stuff he imagines people think. Mostly, he just likes doodling with the emotes!

    My guess, Boston would fit right in with climatologists if he gets the credentials. He likes to ignore the facts, and is similarly remote from reality all ready! :)

    You say, the vast majority of scientists agree with the bad science. I think those who disagree are keeping a low profile. But if EVERYBODY agreed with the bad science, it's still BAD science.

    And I think it has a political agenda!

    There, I didn't quote anybody that takes oil money. Just me myself. And I don't get a dime from oil companies.

    You didn't respond to the first part of my post, only the latter part.

    What about the over simplification, assigning CO2 as the dominant factor in warming, and ignoring all others? :)

    This thread IS fantastic.

    Transparency is the word that comes to mind. I'm starten to see right through some of you nice folks.

    Carry on righteous brothers.

    Frosty, ole man, I'm not egging them on, I've actually suggested Troy save his breath. Yabs lunacy shouldn't be discouraged, its an absolutely perfect example of the ludicrous nonsense/nonscience that dominates the deniers thinking. What better example of ignorance could there possibly be than to have someone come in and not only deny climate shift but the tie between lung cancer and smoking ? Its laughably perfect, rolling on the floor hilarious actually, soon as I realized just how mixed up he really was, or any of them for that mater, I knew what a perfect example they'd make to the readers. Its bloody hilarious mate, I'm not egging them on, on the contrary, I'm stepping back and just letting them go. Although I think Troy is completely wasting his time, I do appreciate his efforts, and I gotta admit, I don't think people like Yab should be discouraged from posting there lunacy on here, as I said, what better example could there possibly be, yah just couldn't make this **** up.

    The threads perfectly hilarious, worthy of syndication actually, I swear, if some of these guys could do cartoons to go with there BS my bet it is would go international in no time. Hell I got a cartoon artist friend of mine, maybe she'd be interested in the idea. I say let em rant and flail, its a gold mine of deniers idiocy that no writer could just make up no mater how much money was involved. Pure comedy at its finest.

    Love

    Again, you're the one who's oversimplifying. No one 'assigned' CO2 as the dominant factor in anthropomorphic warming; scientists determined that CO2 is the dominant factor. Big difference.... and they didn't ignore other factors when making that determination.

    I'm not going to keep going on this, Yob. I made my point a long time ago, and I'm not interested in being your sounding board so you can keep repeating your unscientific claims.

    Well, we'll wait and see. Ya'll are going to be real embarassed within 2 to 5 years. :)

    Except Boston. He's very DETERMINED! LOL He'll still be claiming it's CO2 when the temperatures are falling. They expect this newest sun cycle to be similar to the one that began the little ice age in 1600s.

    Most solar scientists believe the sun is far and large the driver of the climate. I think it makes perfect sense.

    Anthropogenic CO2 driving climate, seems to me, the same sort of "We just KNOW it's bad for the climate and we are going to PROVE it!" type of science that matches "We just KNOW tobacco causes cancer!" but they have never been able to prove it. So, they "Link" it to cancer. That's the best they can do, but it ain't science or proven. No ethical scientist claims it's proven. It's just feelings it's true.

    Okay. We'll see. Won't take long with the sun.

    Of course climatologists say it will take a hundred years to prove they are right about CO2. LOL. Pretty safe bet none of us will be here in 100 years. :)

    But the sun will prove the CO2 theory wrong over very few years. Because the sun is powerfull, unlike CO2s 38 parts per million CO2! HaHa!

    I'm being very scientific in my claims.

    Determined means pontificated. "It is because I SAY it is!"

    Definition of DETERMINED
    1: having reached a decision : firmly resolved <determined to be a pilot>
    2a : showing determination <a determined effort> b : characterized by determination <will deter all but the most determined thief — Security World>


    like the label below, cause they couldn't PROVE it, so:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tobacco_packaging_warning_messages

    Caution: Cigarette Smoking May be Hazardous to Your Health (1966–1970)

    Warning: The Surgeon General Has Determined that Cigarette Smoking is Dangerous to Your Health (1970–1985)

    But requiring such labeling is a violation of freedom of speech. See below! :)

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tobacco_packaging_warning_messages


    In August 2011, five tobacco companies have filed a lawsuit against the FDA in an effort to reverse the new warning mandate. Tobacco companies claim that being required to promote government anti-smoking campaigns by placing the new warnings on packaging violates the companies' free speech rights.[22] Additionally, R.J. Reynolds, Lorillard, Commonwealth Brands Inc., Liggett Group LLC and Santa Fe Natural Tobacco Company Inc. claim that the graphic labels are an unconstitutional way of forcing tobacco companies to engage in anti-smoking advocacy on the government's behalf.[23] A First Amendment lawyer, Floyd Abrams, is representing the tobacco companies in the case, contending requiring graphic warning labels on a lawful product cannot withstand constitutional scrutiny.[24] The Association of National Advertisers and the American Advertising Federation have also filed a brief in the suit, arguing that the labels infringe on commercial free speech and could lead to further government intrusion if left unchallenged.[25]

    In November 2011, Federal judge Richard Leon of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia temporarily halted the new labels, likely delaying the requirement that tobacco companies display the labels. The U.S. Supreme Court ultimately could decide the matter.[26]

    On February 29, 2012, Leon ruled that the labels violate the right to free speech in the First Amendment.[27]


    YAY for FREEDOM! Score ONE for us Constitutionists!

    OK Well what's your thoughts on this....

    UN IPCC Official Admits 'We Redistribute World's Wealth By Climate Policy'

    If you needed any more evidence that the entire theory of manmade global warming was a scheme to redistribute wealth you got it Sunday when a leading member of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change told a German news outlet, "[W]e redistribute de facto the world's wealth by climate policy."

    Such was originally published by Germany's NZZ Online Sunday, and reprinted in English by the Global Warming Policy Foundation moments ago:

    Read more: We Redistribute World's Wealth By Climate Policy

    Climate Fund Seeks UN-Style Diplomatic Immunity

    The Green Climate Fund, which is supposed to help mobilize as much as $100 billion a year to lower global greenhouse gases, is seeking a broad blanket of UN-style immunity that would shield its operations from any kind of legal process, including civil and criminal prosecution, in the countries where it operates.

    There is just one problem: it is not part of the United Nations.

    Read More: Green Climate Fund

    Is this finally proof we're NOT causing global warming? The whole of the Earth heated up in medieval times without human CO2 emissions, says new study

    Evidence was found in a rare mineral that records global temperatures
    Warming was far-reaching and NOT limited to Europe
    Throws doubt on orthodoxies around 'global warming'

    Here's another similar mirror thread going on elsewhere for your entertainment: Calling all Global Warming.....

    Haw, Haw Success got past the forbidden word checker..:D:D
