Climate Change Cancelled! (Whew!)

If the "no such thing as AGW" voices are really increasing that rapidly, the AGW inactivist movement won't need to introduce every new inactivist with so much pomp and fanfare. I mean, I just saw a big blaring headline on the International Climate 'Science' Coalition web site that read

NASA MOONWALKER/"WHOLE EARTH" PHOTOGRAPHER JOINS CLIMATE SKEPTICS

Drum rolls please!

Now, if such an occurrence is so important that it warrants a big blaring headline, then it's probably not very frequent. And indeed, it's not very frequent, because the rest of the time we get the same old dittoheads -- Tom Harris, Bob Carter, Viscount Christopher Monckton, etc. -- droning on and on with the same old talking points.

How dare they resort to "reasoning" and "technical" arguments to rebut global warming! What is this world coming to when these voices are allowed to be heard? Silence them all and off with their heads!

How dare they refute Time magazine's off the cuff comment that global warming was to blame for the Hudson river plane crash.

How dare they shed light on the misleading comment that part of the Greenland ice sheet "an area the size of Manhatten Island" melted (gasp!), without indicating that this represents a miniscule .03% of the entire ice sheet.

How dare they give factual information on global temperatures since 2001 that show a cooling trend that flies in the face of every model prediction relied upon by the IPCC that show continued warming over this period, not one of which predicted this cooling.

How dare they refute the implication that tropical storms will increase dramatically due to warming, even after NOAA has stated that no such trend will emerge and in fact, warming would likely decrease the incidence of tropical storms due to to a more equitable temperature balance between the equator and the poles. Shame on Al Gore for putting a hurricane on the cover of his movie and thus cementing it in the minds of the unsuspecting an image that is completely contrary to the fact that their occurance has absolutely NOTHING to do with warming. A red herring ploy at its finest.

I tire of the self-righteous approach of the global warming camp. I'm reminded of a comment by Einstein: "Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of truth and knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods." Science is never "closed." Debate should be encouraged. Ridicule should cease. If a claim is shown to be false, then it should be abandoned. Let's move forward from "us and them."

And of course ... I'm most likely a Republican with a marketing degree and ties to the oil industry. That would explain my views. Dismiss me.

Climate change is one of those things that people have varied opinions. I believe that significant actions by humans to pollute earth can have impact on our climate and nature. That being said, I think we should take some actions in order to prevent pollution of our environment.

Thank you for good article.

there are a few unscroupulous people who create lists of "scientists" who do not believe in global warming.

It has been shown repeatedly that a good many of those "scientists" have no relevant expertise in fields qualifying them to judge the scientific evidence on global warming and climate change, that others are not in fact "scientists" at all, that some are in fact dead or non-existent, and even that some are qualified scientists who actually subscribe to the consensus theory of anthropogenic global warming and climate change but that their words have been deliberately taken out of context and misconstrued to make it sound like they do not.

What's left is a very short list indeed, consisting of the same few names of scientists that are already well known for their skepticism of the theory of anthropogenic global warming and climate change. Some of their points are valid but unproven or overblown, others have long since been shown to be totally and completely bogus.

Any of them who assert that the earth is actually getting colder are either completely incompetent or deliberately lying.

You are wrong when it comes to climate scientists, they do not believe in global warming like someone believes in some superstition like a lucky white rabbit's foot.

Scientists are objective and are convinced by weighing-up the scientific evidence. Since the objective evidence regarding climate change is unequivocal (one-sided) showing that the earth is warming it takes a truly remarkable bindness to the truth to ignore the huge imbalance of evidence that demonstrates a warming world to conclude that the earth is cooling.

As for large number, either you are referring to the widely debumnked Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine's Petition Project and its associated junk science article 'environmental Effects of Carbon Dioxide' which has been widely debunked.

Alternatively you may be referring to one of the lists of scientists invented by various deniers and think-tanks that misleadingly include numerous scientists whose work in no way disputes anthropogenic climate change.

These lists are unreliable, or are downright dishonest and to quote these as if they somehow counter the conclusions of the IPCC, or Naomi Oreskes' research is dishonest in the extreme.

That was a great post. Very enjoyable read..
