I often hear about how the ice core samples are the alleged smoking gun of global warming.


"Global warming alarmists, however, prefer to estimate pre-industrial CO2 indirectly by means of ice cores, from which they derive the much lower pre-industrial revolution estimate of 280 ppm. The lower estimate makes industrial-era greenhouse gas emissions appear to be dramatically higher.

But Dr. Jaworowski says that the ice core-based CO2 estimates are unreliable."

There you are; we now have the definitive answer on global warming.
Why is there always money for war, but none for education?

So instead of 35% higher than 100 years ago, it's 11% higher. Okay, that shows something doesn't it? 10% change in the last 100 years is crazy.

Well this has already been discussed here before. But "global warming" is not correct terminology for the problem. Its "climate change". 'Cuz ya see if you average the temperatures up around the world it isnt that much warmer. The problem is that certain areas of the world are experiencing climate that they haven't seen in thousands of years. Many species that have been around for millions of years, such as Cnidarians, are now going extinct due to rapid ocean temperature changes, that have never accured so quickly before. The problem isn't all due to CO2 either. Right now the arctic is melting due to ozone. http://www.news.com.au/story/0,10117....html?from=rss

There's lots of un-credible research out there but that doesn't prove the problem of "climate change" doesn't exist.

Steven Milloy, a shill for ExxonMobil. Nuff said.

I read his article. Shows he knows **** about science and analyzing stats and datasets.

cmeisenzahl, why should we care if ExxonMobil says we shouldn't worry about global warming? It's Enron which wrote our national energy policy. If you can find any quotes from Ken Lay, that would be much more convincing.

So let's look at the backgrounds of the scientists who support the theory of man-made global warming.

Give me some names.

Let's look at your background first.

1st question: can you understand the science behind climatology?
2nd question: do you understand all that allready?
3rd question: if you answered yes to the first 2 questions, can you explain what "global warming" is?
4th question: can you argue against it?

Nothing personal. Just checking.

My answers to the first 2 questions is "no" by the way, therefore, no to the last 3.

Can you understand the science behind being me?

Do you understand that already?

If you answered yes to the first 2 questions, can you explain what global warming is?

can you argue against it?


So what was your point supposed to be?

You make no sense.

All I want to do is investigate the backgrounds of scientists who believe global warming is real and man-made.

I think I'm qualified to do that.

did you ever notice how much the globalwarmmongers WANT there to be proof of global warming even though there is not?

I have my own thoughts why that is, specifically that they are desperate for anything they can twist around to impose their ideology of socialism/shared misery.

Why?

I answered no already. Can't you read?

ibidem.

You mean you don't understand logic. That's OK. There is no shame in that. The Worlds acknowledges you for all that it is you are... whatever "that" is...

I think I'm qualified to do that.
If your interest is in their butts, then I guess it would make sense.

Clean up after yourself afterwards will ya?

Did it ever occured to you that you have no idea what that means?

You need to remember that no one in these threads knows much about the research published on Global Warming.

I'll grant you one thing though: in a debate, facts are useless. What counts, is strength of persuasion. That is why some of the people posting here post only about stuff that THEY know about. Everybody else is pretty much igorant. That explains the vacuity of the argumentation. Unfortunately, that does not stop people from having opinions, or "thougths" about something.

I have my own thoughts why that is, specifically that they are desperate for anything they can twist around to impose their ideology of socialism/shared misery.
See? Exactly what I meant. "Thoughts", but no knowledge of the facts. Denial always appears as a strong opinion (admit it: showing your "background" is quite a statement). Ostrich do that; butt high in the air, and head in the sand. If you put your ear to the ground, you can hear them say: "nothings wrong!" until the bulldozer digs a highway on their denial. But hey, that is life, right?

Obviously, the catastrophe bound people are not that different from apocalyptic-bible cults. The end is nigh, and it smells like gazoline. My guess is that it is much more complicated than that, but I don't know for a fact that there is Global Warming. I am only 40. How can I measure these effects from my own experience?

And I am no scientist so...

BTW, are you?

So far, it seems that better than 80% of them get their funding by virtue of the fact that they're on a "climate change" committee - so if they don't find any 'climate change', they'll be looking for a real job. The other 20% are on the UN's payroll.

Oddly enough, there are only 'no-name' universities represented in your list.

Wu Centre for Ocean-Land-Atmosphere Studies
Xiao University of New Hampshire
Yang University of Arizona

lol.

Now there's some Ivy League establishments!

Right above the ones you listed:

M. Vuille University of Massachusetts
M. Wahlen University of California
G. Tselioudis NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies
P. Stone Massachusetts Institute of Technology
R. Stouffer Princeton University
S. Schneider Stanford University

etc.

I hear Harvard, Princeton, Stanford, MIT etc. are pretty much the bottom of the barrel when it comes to higher education.

You know, you're right, Spliff.

No one's ever heard of Harvard, or the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute, or the Goddard Space Flight Center, or Columbia, or the National Center for Atmospheric Research, or the National Science Foundation, or the Department of Energy, etc., etc.

Hardly "no-name" institutions. Of course, you would pick a couple to try to make your point, and hope no one notices your tactic. And of course, you wouldn't want to admit that there just might be some bright minds who know vastly more about this subject than you, even at "no-name" institutions. I mean, how dare we question your qualifications on this subject?

So I just did a random scan:

W. Schlesinger Duke University – James B. Duke Professor of Biogeochemistry and Dean of the Nicholas School of the Environment and Earth Sciences

S. Wofsy Harvard University – Abbot Lawrence Rotch Professor of Atmospheric and Environmental Science

P. Stone Massachusetts Institute of Technology – Professor of Climate Dynamics

R. Stouffer Princeton University – senior research meteorologist in the Climate Dynamics and Prediction Group of the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL)

S. Schneider Stanford University – honored in 1992 with a MacArthur Fellowship for his ability to integrate and interpret the results of global climate research through public lectures, seminars, classroom teaching, environmental assessment committees, media appearances, Congressional testimony, and research collaboration with colleagues. He has served as a consultant to Federal Agencies and/or White House staff in the Nixon, Carter, Reagan, Bush Sr., Clinton and Bush Jr. administrations. He also received, in 1991, the American Association for the Advancement of Science/ Westinghouse Award for Public Understanding of Science and Technology, for furthering public understanding of environmental science and its implications for public policy. In 1998 he became a foreign member of the Academia Europaea, Earth and Cosmic Sciences Section. He was elected Chair of the American Association for the Advancement of Science’s Section on Atmospheric and Hydrospheric Sciences (1999-2001). Schneider was elected to membership in the U.S. National Academy of Sciences in April 2002.
(Jesus H. Christ!)


M. Jacobson Stanford University – recently received the 2005 American Meteorological Society Henry G. Houghton Award for "significant contributions to modeling aerosol chemistry and to understanding the role of soot and other carbon particles on climate


...yeah. Lookin' a little foolish, aren't ya buddy?? Maybe...maybe you should go smoke another joint or something. It might straighten your argument right out.

I'd be a sucker if I thought global warming wasn't BS.

Find something else to worry about, folks.

Ain't like you're gonna live long enough to find out which one of us was right.

So just go hug a tree and promote Socialism or whatever you global warming proponents typically do with your time.

To quote myself in the NASA/global climate change thread below:

In another thread here on the good of the pol lounge, you talk about strongly arguing your opinion and prefering to win "outright" rather than reach a middle ground. Well, that's bullshit. You've lost here. You lost a long time ago, when every single one of your points gets refuted. You just move on to the next excuse that we'll have to refute and then, when it's painfully clear you just don't know what you're talking about, just like every other time, you'll resort to trying to inflame opinions by writing outrageous comments like how much you pollute, or how everything global scientists say is contradictory. It shows you wouldn't change your own opinion, no matter how stupid or wrong it is, no matter what's proved to you. How pathetic.

I can't wait for your reply, which until I posted this sentence would probably talk about how you're still going to pollute more because you simply don't care. OOOOooooo. Scary.
...yeap.

Others have responded to this sufficiently, but looking at the list you chose to call out, since when is the University of Arizona a no-name university? It has one of the top natural sciences departments in the country as I recall (and, more commonly known, a really good basketball program).

Just about the reply that was expected. Can't come up with anything substantive. BTW, I don't promote "Socialism," but I do believe in and promote fairness.

That is just it, the global warming fearmongers really don't give a rats @ss about "climate change" other than that they can use it as a tool for their own political agenda.

One could quite easily take what you wrote and replace 'global warming' with 'terrorism' and 'climate change' with 'al-Qaeda' and it would still make sense. Are you claiming that Republicans keep their values and political agendas separate? Do you have anything more to add to this discussion than name-calling and platitudes?

I truly feel sorry for all the folks that bought into the global warming myth.

Please, find another cause to celebrate. You won't live long enough to even know if you're right or wrong.

Save the whales or something.

I mean, how dumb are you gonna feel in the next decade when the average temperature drops 2/3rds of a degree?

How dumb are you going to feel when every claim you've made in this thread turns out to be wrong and yet you keep making unfounded assertions that go against the opinion of many reputable experts?

Anyway, why the hell do you feel sorry for people who believe in global warming? Does it cause them some kind of harm?

Of course, it just couldn't be true that this administration has anything to do with altering data and trying to silence it's critics, could it?

I'm celebrating keeping Intelligent Design out of the science classroom. Unfortunately, I had two strokes and an aneurism before I picked up a bat and beat them.

I swear, their stupidity is like The Ring. You watch them and 7 days later you're a moron.

For those who are against the EPA, cleaner air, cleaner water... why don't you want to protect the environment against the pollutants?

Why do you want all the forest to disapear, to make sure we cannot breathe the air, or have clean water, or protect the animals?

because none of those "goals" are really what the envirowackoist zealots are looking for.

It is just a control/imposed "fairness/socialism/shared misery" ideal that they can't win at the ballot box so they are using the made up "problems" of the environment as tools towards thier political objectives.

Hmm... let me see who to believe.

Top NASA scientist who spend many years studying global warming who is risking his career to show the global warming is a real threat and something we have control over.

Or ExxonMobil paid lawyer who knows nothing about climate changes.

Man, though choice.

Damn those tree huggers!

Right spliff. I don't believe top scientist all over the world who are studying global warming. I know better. I don't believe in gravity either. Those scientist have an agenda.

You are a craze fanatic Spliff. Just admit it.

What good is funding to the top scientist if he losses his job? He benefits nothing from the funding, if he keeps insisting global warming is a threat. He'll lose funding. So, you're wrong.

It really doesn't matter. Spliff won't believe in global warming even if hurricaines and typhoon kills millions on the West Coast. It's craze fanatics like him that won't listen until it's too late. Actually, he won't listen even when it's too late.
