    Cap-and-trade: You're wrong on the history. Read up on it. As for people making money off it, well it's a market solution. Exactly the point of it is to make money but that's somewhat irrelevant to whether or not it works and doubly irrelevant to whether or not the science of climate change is right. If a gene therapy for MS makes money it doesn't follow that MS has a non-genetic origin. That's a fucking ridiculous thing to believe. But, unsurprisingly, that is what you believe.

    Anyway, I'm interested in your thoughts about what's going on with greenhouse gases. Why won't you answer a simple question? You've been astonishingly firm in asserting that humans aren't causing climate change ('junk science' according to you) so you must have an answer to this. Well, what is that answer? 1, 2 or 3?

    Oi Duckman - the thing is...they are not creating a better world. They are creating starvation for millions and billions of dollars for a few.

    After having beaten us senseless with "the stick" for years now...they finally get around to admitting what "the carrot" is.
    The climate then stabilized at relatively warm temperatures about 10,000 years ago, hitting a plateau that lasted for roughly 5,000 years, the paper shows. After that, shifts of incoming sunshine prompted a long, slow cooling trend. The cooling was interrupted, at least in the Northern Hemisphere, by a fairly brief spike during the Middle Ages, known as the Medieval Warm Period. (It was then that the Vikings settled Greenland, dying out there when the climate cooled again.)
    Scientists say that if natural factors were still governing the climate, the Northern Hemisphere would probably be destined to freeze over again in several thousand years. “We were on this downward slope, presumably going back toward another ice age,” Dr. Marcott said.
    Instead, scientists believe the enormous increase in greenhouse gases caused by industrialization will almost certainly prevent that.
    So, can someone explain to us again why mile thick glaciers over the northern states are desirable again? That explanation was missed the first time.

    whilst you were quote mining, or pore likly pasteing someone elses quote mining you missed the bit at the bottom of the article. which does answer some of those statements about its natural change, don't worry about it.

    Dr. Mann pointed out that the early Holocene temperature increase was almost certainly slow, giving plants and creatures time to adjust. But he said the modern spike would probably threaten the survival of many species, in addition to putting severe stresses on human civilization.

    “We and other living things can adapt to slower changes,” Dr. Mann said. “It’s the unprecedented speed with which we’re changing the climate that is so worrisome.”
    Boonme care to comment on this, after all you do see Dr Marcott as a credible expert.

    A couple of figures

    5.0x 1020J total world annual energy consumption in 2010
    8.0×1020J estimated global uranium resources for generating electricity
    1.5×1022J total energy from the Sun that strikes the face of the Earth each day
    3.9×1022J estimated energy contained in the world's fossil fuel reserves as of 2010

    Why do we still bother with fossil fuels?

    1×1023J Amount of energy added to climate by anthropogenic greenhouse gasses

    Edit
    Crap, it doesn't display right. The meaning of the numbers is 10 by the power of 20 etc.

    My word - the reason why this is a religion, is that you are basically banging out what Pope Gore tells you so that he stays rich. You seem to think the FEAR needs to stay, when in reality, it needs to go along with the leaches to see what is really happening.

    15 years of "scientists learning shit science from other shit scientists in a whole industry supporting their careers paid for out of the pockets of bankers who will become even more powerful and controlling and you call this science? getting sense out of you mob is like trying to talk a suicide bomber into not pulling the trigger - brain washed completely, and the cleverness of it all is that you are doing someone elses work for them believing you are doing it for the right reasons, when in reality you are just a pawn; a mouth piece for Gore and the Bankers.

    My earlier question - what is happening to fight this that will actually have an in pact? I said "nothing" - no answer from your mob yet. Whilst you are defending and thinking, Al Gore has just earnt another million bucks - when do you get your share?

    This seems to be a given in the doctrinal world of the Co2 fanatic but back in the rather more sedate cloisters of pure science, as opposed to the lobby fodder of publicly funded yea sayers looking to fill their pockets and chasing tenure, we are still attempting to arrive at what might be a " world " temperature.

    You see, unless one has that, measuring change is somewhat problematic, n'est-ce pas?

    You chaps do love your statistics and like all of your ilk you never shirk to apply problems to them and thus inventing causes, and thereby, solutions.

    Quick fix science rooted in fashion and political whimsy. Gore, the prophet, preaching his religion attains iconic status, political converts build the temple and statistician scientists donning the robes of high priests ensure the Word is spread and hey presto! We have orthodoxy and a new world order.

    Problem is, prognostications are nothing more than computerised finger waving in the air and no more reliable than the evisceration of a chicken by Delphic oracles looking for the next, fat handout from the buffoons who sponsor them.

    MMGW is not an established scientific fact last this poster was aware.

    btw, how 'bout those icecaps?

    You could - you won't because you think this question is some kind point in your favour, but you could - begin with AR4. It's significantly out of date with regard to the speed and severity of the consequences of climate change but for the physical basis, I think it's fine.

    Ah fuck it, what do I care? If you enjoy wallowing in a cesspit of stupidity, paranoia and shitty reasoning, who gives a toss? You're not going to answer my question so there's no point continuing a conversation and whilst it's fascinating to peek into the bottomless pit of stupidity where people like you live, it's also enormously depressing.

    Fortunately for the world, the galactic-sized gaps in your knowledge are not shared by all humanity and whilst the cartoons you so enjoy reading will dispute the fact, anthropogenic climate change simply is an accepted and extremely well understood theory, to the point where it's now a standard part of the education of school children and university students (and least in those parts of the world lucky enough not to be under the thumb of the Texas Taliban).

    I care though - because whilst you are stupidly praying at the alter, down on your knees, nothing is happening. Nothing.

    Wake up.

    Answer this -

    1) what can be done and what is the real effect of this?
    2) Is this being done? After 20 years?
    3) Who is actually gaining from it?
    4) Who are the losers?

    The end consumer always pays for all taxes. Always.

    I think you and your religion care more about being in the Cool Al Gore gang than you do about anything else.

    Just out of interest, and this is a genuine question to get some knowledge here that I can not find out. What temperature is the earth meant the be, on average? What temperature is "best" for the earth?

    Oh! Having got a second RED from the Pro Climate Change Lobby in the board I guess they have run out of fake answers then.

    Hmmmm

    That's very sad. One would have thought that the climate change fear mongers would be able to tell me the answer to this. I would have assumed that with them spreading such massive amounts of fear about the temperature raising by 1 or 2 degrees that they therefore know exactly what the right temperature is for the world. Maybe they are right, and it is right about now, and should not rise. However, maybe they are wrong and the world needs to be 5 degrees warmer - shit, that might even stop earth quakes or something - who knows.

    What we need is a load of one eyed biased faux scientists to plug a load of junk information into a computer model that will tell us what the temperature of the world should be. Then the science will be settled.

    Surely Nasa knows the answer to this question?

    NASA - Michael Griffin

    Mr Griffin said


    "I have no doubt that global -- that a trend of global warming exists. I am not sure that it is fair to say that it is a problem we must wrestle with. To assume that it is a problem is to assume that the state of earth's climate today is the optimal climate, the best climate that we could have or ever have had and that we need to take steps to make sure that it doesn't change.

    First of all, I don't think it's within the power of human beings to assure that the climate does not change, as millions of years of history have shown, and second of all, I guess I would ask which human beings - where and when - are to be accorded the privilege of deciding that this particular climate that we have right here today, right now is the best climate for all other human beings. I think that's a rather arrogant position for people to take."
    So even a Nasa dude didn't know and thought it preposterous that we should even dare to assume anything like this. Of course, he was sacked for saying this and other defences of common sense.

    "Unfortunately, this is an issue which has become far more political than technical, and it would have been well for me to have stayed out of it." "All I can really do is apologize to all you guys.... I feel badly that I caused this amount of controversy over something like this."[

    Alas no - they will tut tut, say I don't understand science and am a moron ("Prick" is the word Zoo used for his Red to me - thanks mate ). they will then sneer a little, look down their noses at my stupidity, and having completely ignored this actually vital question to which there is no answer, will go back to pumping up computer model information by scientists paid to produce scary models.

    Maybe Gore learnt how to be a fear mongering preacher from his best mate Fred Phelps from the Westboro Baptist church.

    I remember reading something like this explaining the stupidity of wildlife conservation. Used the example of the giant redwoods in California. The conservationists will do just about anything to try and make sure those redwoods stay around forever. How long have they been there? 5000 years? 10000 years? What was there before? The forest that the redwoods make up is a very inhospitable place for other living things. There isnt much to eat and therefore there isnt much else living there except redwoods.

    Mabey the enviornment before the redwoods took over was better. A place where life flourished. Mabey we should cut all the stupid things down and see if nature puts something better in its place.

    Conservation is impossible in a constantly changing enviornment just like stopping climate change is impossible in a constantly changing climate.

    So what is the earths correct temperature? Great question that no one can answer. I will have to see if I can get the original blueprints from my buddy GOD lol.
    I'm not saying it was Aliens, but it was Aliens!

    Great find (well, startlingly similar to all the other information delivered on here).

    So, ground temperature has allegedly raised by 1.5 degrees. Is this good or bad? Does the earth need to warm up? Is it currently too cold? Should it be colder? Does massive ice caps have a function vital to the health of the earth is perhaps could the earth benefit from more water in circulation?

    Couldn't find it on that website.

    Did find these sponsors though

    The Lee and Juliet Folger Fund ($20,000)
    William K. Bowes, Jr. Foundation ($100,000)
    Fund for Innovative Climate and Energy Research (created by Bill Gates) ($100,000)
    Charles G. Koch Charitable Foundation ($150,000)
    The Ann & Gordon Getty Foundation ($50,000)

    William K. Bowes, Jr. Foundation ($100,000)
    The Ann & Gordon Getty Foundation ($50,000)
    Anonymous Foundation ($250,000)

    Quite a few proven eugenicists there, as well as advocates of depopulation.
