That graph clearly illustrates that we occasionally go through periods of extreme conditions, naturally.

IBDM, The books and DVDs were written by big time scientists, not wiki. Wiki gave the same info. It wasn't the other way around. I guess wiki got its info indirectly from the people that wrote the books and dvds. To think that thousands of scientists have conspired to make false scientific claims doesn't make sense to me. It's like claiming that hundreds of NASA scientists conspired to make fake video productions of Neil and Buzz landing on the moon.

We had it, used it for quite a while, and then phased it out, per government regulation, because it wasn't a good deal in the cost/benefit analysis.

Now the flip side of that is if someone wants to accuse something of being a hoax. Take for example those who doubted that genetics determined traits when that was new.

I think the long term trend is to lower temps (as per claims in the 1970's) but the short term trend per year (much greater than the long term trend per year) is toward warmer temps. You can see it in the northern sea ice and in the shrinking glaciers. The short term trend is due to anthropogencic CO2. Edited on 18-08-2019 02:49 |

Clearly there is warming that is NOT due to CO2 levels. As the climate history also accepted within the argument shows that we have had rising temperatures for the past 12000 years since the last ice age, the question very naturally is what increase is being attributed to CO2 and what increase would be there otherwise. But I never see this parsed out. I do think it's fair to say that in the graph below the correlation ends when CO2 spikes:  |

Unfortunately, climatologist can't actually go back very far, 1880 is where temperatures were being recorded regularly, 1958 for CO2. Creating data out of thin air (proxies/analogs) don't fit the need or use of them, they are just the closest thing to real data we could ever hope for, and it's highly subjective, works if you believe it. Have you read an IPCC Assessment report? I'll admit, I've yet to read one, cover-to-cover, but read through enough to have notice how much of it's worded. Doesn't show any degree of confidence in their own research, or certainty in their conclusions. They believe the warming has been about 1 degree Celsius, per century, past 300 years, but they expect a 1-3 degree increase by 2100. If they are absolutely CO2 is the key, they should be able to give specific numbers. Where's the hockey-stick, that 1 degree mark shouldn't happen any more. Everything else is pretty much the same, kind of vague, nothing certain. The sea levels 'may' rise by... Weather extremes 'likely' to increase. Food production 'could' drop.... I'd expect the 'experts' to know exactly what is going to happen, when CO2 levels reach certain points, not what might possibly happen. The work, is likely more or less legitimate, and they are working hard, because they truly believe the end of the world is near. We just don't have the tools to observe the hypothesis in progress, or even measure it. We've got a computer simulation, based on sketchy data. The output, can only be as accurate as the input. |

IBDM, The part about the scientists being political activists was the one that got me the most. The biggest scientific project, the Large Hadron Collider has something like 8000 scientists and engineers working on it. I don't think they are political activists, at least in their science |

8000 researchers and engineers working on a project that has to go fairly well. It wouldn't go fairly well if it was based on baloney the 8000 researchers had conjured up to fool people. Edited on 18-08-2019 18:40 |

You were claiming that no articles incorporated into Wikipedia were written by political activists, and you even pretended to be miffed that I would refer to political activists as "political activists" ... and then you pointed to some scientists and insisted they were scientists, as though that somehow transforms political activists into scientists.
