But I'll just leave it at Global Warming hasn't met the scientifically significant statistical relevance to be considered "true". So if you're saying it's true, you're wrong. | ||

It's been proven that the global temperature was higher 65 million years ago than it is now. And we're coming out of an ice age...I mean, global rise in temperature is to be expected. | ||

Ask an old person. These fads come and go, and none of them are ever scientifically proven. The only thing they have in common is that somebody stands to gain from people believing in them. | ||

By then you'll be laughing at some crazy kids who believe a meteor is going to hit, or an ice age is going to hit overnight, or global flooding is going to kill everyone. Ask an old person. These fads come and go, and none of them are ever scientifically proven. The only thing they have in common is that somebody stands to gain from people believing in them. This is a terribly poor argument. Anthropogenic Global warming has been in the mind of scientists for over 60 years and has risen to prominence as the gathered evidence has continued to support the hypothesis. And before anyone mentions anything about the "global cooling scare", that pales in significance to the amount of papers being published on a potential global warming scenario, the figure was something like 3:1 in the early 50s. Again I implore anyone with even the slightest interest on the subject of AGW to watch the series on youtube by Potholer54, the first installment of which is on page 2 of this thread. It is a enjoyable and concise look at the science behind the theory, and presents the views of scientists, both proponents and dissenters, and if their proposals are valid. The concept of AGW is one that will forever be entrenched in the scientific world. It is one that has produced many peer reviewed papers published in scientific journals. There is a very high consensus amongst scientist, especially climatologists. Here is an article detailing this consensus: http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/full/306/5702/1686#ref9 If the peer reviewed literature agrees upon a subject, then we best listen. Not doing so leaves you to fall into three categories: Ignorance Denial Conspiracy theorist Take your pick, or perhaps, jump in to all three. | ||

Amount of gas spewed into atmosphere will cause the sky to darken and go red, you will see problems such as acid rain, waters becoming toxic as underground oil is spewed into oceans as well as volcanic gas from underground volcanos this will kill of alot of the ocean life in turn affecting stability of the food chain leading to problems of food resources 'expect at some point food shortages' some people will starv to death others will become cabals it wont be a pleasant time at all. War will be occuring as countrys try to take advantage of their enermys situations and struggle to obtain resources to survive, meteorites will be on higher impact than seen before as the magnetic fields surrounding the earth will be at their weakness they will be easier to pentrate the atmosphere, comets will cause impacts sending dust into the air affecting the atmosphere, as lifeforms die of new ones will become dominate new deseases will arises mutations of current ones which will also be deliberately assisted by human groups. There will come a point all money will be electronic a number will be given as a indentification for the person which will contain all details this number will be a encrpyted 666, prototyping of it will be the switching from physical money to debt and credit system 'electronic'. Eventually it will come to point that barcoding of skin occurs or insertion of chips this will be to increase security is what you will be told and to protct you but this is the mark/number of beast of prophercy. That is your future change it if you can, I highly doubt you can... | ||

[...images omitted...] I could post lots of things about statistical accuracy. But I'll just leave it at Global Warming hasn't met the scientifically significant statistical relevance to be considered "true". So if you're saying it's true, you're wrong. You're using yearly measurements. If you use the daily measurements, your confidence interval shrinks by a factor of sqrt(~365) and it is then statistically significant. | ||

Also there is a big difference between how science is substantiated and how religion is substantiated, the main one being that if science was done in a religious fashion, every single scientist would be a heretic. You seem to miss the point that every scientist who questioned CO2 to be a "climate killer" like a year ago was actually called a liar by the media and the CRU, and they tried everything to get them out of any recognized media attention. You are right that there is a big difference between science and religion, but those "scientists" who willingly hid the decline of global temperature and called everybody a liar and "climate change denier" who thought otherwise, are no actual scientists, they are just trying to manipulate. | ||

Does anyone else remember the hole in the Ozone layer? Cigarettes being ''good'' for your health. I guess those were just conspiracies invented by scientists too, so they could get a worldwide salary augmentation. | ||

You anticipating their decision in ridicule does not make it any less credible if the email were indeed indictive of fradulent activity. | ||

I guess those were just conspiracies invented by scientists too, so they could get a worldwide salary augmentation. Cigarettes being healthy for you is a product of lobbying. My major issue is that people treat scientists as contiguous universal body on so many issues, when there are actually only a few idiots out there in the scientific community who claim that cigarettes are good for you, that MMR causes autism and that AIDs doesn't exist. What happens is the press report "Scientists now say that there is a link between the MMR vaccine and autism", when really they should say, Dr Andrew Wakefield, whose research doesn't live up to scientific standards reports that there link between the MMR vaccine and autism. | ||

What about the immense commercial interests being served by saying global warming/cc is an undisputeable fact without having any empiric studies to prove this? Just think about all the companies in the world manufactioring solar and wind energy solutions, electric cars, biofuel, or green lobbyists who try to gain more power.. look at the immense amounts of money invested to reduce CO2, while we don't even know how it affects cc yet. All this money would've been way better invested strengthening animal rights, saving the rainforest, etc. I mean, now that there is so much money involved in this, we can't even use it to do something really helpful, and rather try to tell people they are criminals because they are driving a car that put out 10 mg too much CO2... | ||
