Debating Climate Change with Anthropogenic Global Warming Believers

2010-10-18

In another conference I was once again asking questions about AGW and why Believers seem so adamant when there are so many unanswered questions.

Should Global Warming Deniers be Exiled to an Iceberg?

Recently the AP reported that an ice island had broken off from the Greenland ice sheets. The Petermann Glacier is four times the size of Manhattan. Representative Ed Markey, Chairman of the Energy Committee, says that the island should serve as a home for global warming skeptics. This is known as rational debate.

By

Physicist Dr. Denis Rancourt, a former professor and environmental science researcher at the University of Ottawa, has officially bailed out of the man-made global warming movement. In a hard-hitting and exclusive new exclusive video just released by Climate Depot, Dr. Rancourt declares that the entire man-made global warming movement is nothing more than a...

Global Warming Scam: 2010 is Not the Hottest Year

2010-07-17
By

Warmers and Democrats are once again getting overheated by their own propaganda; claiming 2010 is the hottest year on record. The current Cap-n-Trade promotional reads something like this (from The Hill blogs): The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) reported Thursday that the January-June period was the warmest worldwide on record, based on average...

UVA’s Defense of Michael Mann: Back Off, He’s a Scientist!

The University of Virginia has filed a petition to set aside civil investigative demands (CIDs) issued to it by the Commonwealth’s attorney general, Ken Cuccinelli. CIDs are akin to grand jury subpoenas. Cuccinelli’s inquiry was prompted by public disclosure — via the ClimateGate leaks — of the highly questionable academic practices of former UVA...

Climategate 2010: The Inconvenient Facts About Global Warming

In the wake of the Climategate scandal, panelists and audience members at the Fourth International Conference on Climate Change (ICCC4) indicated growing confidence that the tide is turning in favor of those who believe that manmade global warming is not a crisis. More than 700 people — including a good many scientists, along with economists,...

Climate Change: The Smell of Money

Thanks to Glenn Beck, we get bit more insight into the tangled web that The House of Global Warming was built on. Who would have thought? Goldman Sachs has been working hard to save the environment for years. Generation Investment Management (GIM) was founded by Al Gore, and a few friends, which included David...

Climategate: Sensenbrenner Report Challenges EPA Greenhouse Finding

This morning, Rep. James Sensenbrenner (R-WI), ranking member of the Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming, will release a staff report on the scientific issues that tend to discredit the EPA’s endangerment finding for carbon dioxide as a pollutant. The report’s release coincides with the opening of a committee hearing entitled “The...

On Deconstructing the Hockey Stick: Climate Game Over

Following is a simplified description of the main statistical error found with the “hockey stick” graph of temperatures during the past millennium. Michael Mann, Raymond Bradley, and Malcolm Hughes are three respected scientists in America. In 1998 and 1999, they jointly published some research on how temperatures have changed during the past millennium. According to their research,...

Climategate: The Whitewash is Official

The University of East Anglia’s carefully selected “International Panel” released their report on the ClimateGate scientific fraud scandal today. At eight pages, it’s not even a thorough whitewash. They don’t even make a minimal effort to rebut the obvious appearance of widespread data manipulation, suppression of dissenting research through improper means, and intentional avoidance...

Climategate, Bonn, and the intolerability of tolerance

Bonn, Germany– The UN’s international climate conference here in Bonn has decided that the wealthier nations among the 192 States Parties to the UN Convention on Climate Change should make plenty of taxpayers’ money available to hold two additional weeks of pre-negotiation negotiations between now and December, when the legally-binding World Government Climate Treaty...

Climategate bust: UN’s last, desperate bid for unelected world government depends on Bonn

There are not many empty seats in the dismal, echoing conference chamber in the ghastly concrete box that is the Hotel Maritim here in Bonn, where the UN’s latest attempt to maneuver the 194 States Parties to the Framework Convention on Climate Change gets underway today. The “international community”, as it is now called,...

Putting ClimateGate in Perspective

I attribute much of the recent rapid rise of the skeptics to the ongoing effects of ClimateGate. Yet, in a sense, the e-mails that were sprung from East Anglia did nothing more than confirm what most skeptics already suspected. Lawrence Solomon, author of The Deniers, has written an unusually good summary in the form...

Bonn Climate Conference (World Government: They’re at it Again)

They’re at it again. The world-government wannabes of the UN have summoned 192 nations to meet in Bonn, Germany, in the second week of April to plan another attempt to impose an unelected global government on us in the specious name of Saving The Planet. The Planet, of course, was Saved 2000 years ago,...

Is Anthropogenic Global Warming the New Intelligent Design?

Perching as I do close to the fulcrum of American politics and culture (those political-spectrum tests place me slightly to the left of center; my mostly liberal family thinks I’m well to the right), I’m fascinated by symmetries between the two ends of the seesaw. Pointing these out — observing, for instance, that Barack...

Climategate: James Hansen Finds Complying with FOIA To Be Too Much of a Burden

A “tipping point” appears to be at hand for James Hansen, the longtime Al Gore adviser and godfather of the modern global warming movement. Hansen now seems so disgusted with the conditions of his employment — on the taxpayer dime — that he no longer sees the conditions as acceptable. As readers may know,...

Climategate: Shameless Science

Without a blush of shame, this week’s Science magazine just ran an article called “Contributions of stratospheric water vapor to decadal changes in the rate of Global Warming.” After wiping off the unnecessary words we’re left with: “Global Warming would be here — except for that damned water vapor.” It’s the “woulda coulda shoulda”...

Climategate: Once Respected Nature Now Staffed By Moaning Ninnies

The once-respected science journal Nature recently published a whining editorial to the effect that climate scientists are not criminals, really; that attacks on them by increasingly-skeptical news media are soooo unfair; and that the fundamental science showing that the planet is doomed unless the economies of the West are shut down at once is...

Climategate: You want the truth? You can’t understand the truth!

In every place of knowledge, there is a statue dedicated to one of the great martyrs of science. He carefully studied the data and came to the conclusion that his people were doomed if action was not immediately taken. For this effort, he was mocked, derided, and ultimately ignored. And, as a result, millions...

The Fraud Is Everywhere: SUNY Albany and Queens University Belfast Join Climategate

Some of the emails leaked in Climategate discuss my work. Following is a comment on that, and on something more important. In 2007, I published a peer-reviewed paper alleging that some important research relied upon by the IPCC (for the treatment of urbanization effects) was fraudulent. The emails show that Tom Wigley — one...
