There's a word for that: "denial."

The current climate model used by those concerned about CO2 shows that there was an ice age 12500 years ago and that we've been getting warmer, with ice melting, for that entire time. If you look at the temperature records used it shows that temperatures increased as much from 1880 to 1930 as they have in that past 50 years. So what caused the increase then? Was it a crisis then as well?

How do you know there was an ice age 12500 years ago? Were you there?

There are no temperature records of the Earth.

i don't know what caused specific increases in temp. I'm pretty sure that the anthropogenic CO2 is causing a short term increase in temp that is much faster than long term decreases in temp from earth's natural cycles.
It is the short term increase that will overcome any SLOW long term trends.

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.


Polar winter ice extent is larger than last years.
What about the advancing glaciers?

I think there are two approaches here:

1- obsess on the accuracy of the data used

2- set that aside and look at the argument made first

I think we can and should do both.

So just accepting all of the data with no margin of error the argument for CO2 based anthropogenic warming as the problem that was the reason for this topic in the first place. 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:


Argument from randU. This data is manufactured.

But pretend for a moment that you're a real expert, teaching at College X. You think they've got it all wrong. If you come out and say so what happens to you socially and professionally? Does the current culture accept scientists who are "Climate Deniers"?

Think back to McCarthyism. I'm sure that the many many people in positions of expertise who knew that the Red Scare was BS and a horribly mismanaged disaster where silent out of self interest.


If they deny the 1st and 2nd laws of thermodynamics or the Stefan-Boltzmann law, they are wrong, no matter who they are.

I would propose this: Lying has a motive. It's like an intellectual crime. People don't lie for no reason even if they have convinced themselves it's not a lie.

A professional working in any field may have motivations in some areas of what they do, which could be an incentive to lie, but will doubtless have many other areas of their job with no preferences at all whether A or B is true.

I think it's very fair to assume that even a corrupt liar isn't lying about things where they don't have a preference.

So a scientist studying quarks will genuinely have no motive in much of what they do to be biased and lie (assuming they didn't write a paper claiming to know what the outcome of an experiment would be).

But that same scientist can be under tremendous pressure, both internal and external, to have the answer to a different question come out a particular way.

Also there is lying overtly, and there is lying by omission.

We should expect bias always and ask how it's effecting things not if it's there.

So a political activist would have every motive in the book to lie to people about everything and to falsely claim to be "a scientist" just to give the false appearance of authority and neutrality, knowing that gullible people will buy the "scientist" act hook, line and sinker and will cognitively surrender from the bluff alone.

tmiddles wrote: But that same scientist can be under tremendous pressure, both internal and external, to have the answer to a different question come out a particular way.

That same political activist might be under tremendous pressure to meet a quota to get people registered for a political party, organization or event and might resort to instilling fear and panic to reach the desired numbers within the time allotted.

tmiddles wrote:Also there is lying overtly, and there is lying by omission.

Political activists do both.

tmiddles wrote:We should expect bias always and ask how it's effecting things not if it's there.

Exactly. When someone claims to be a scientist, there is absolutely no excuse for physics violations to be issuing from his mouth (or keyboard). This is one way to instantly spot a lying political activist ... which might be a bit redundant.

This brings me to topic of the numerous political activists in my experience that have posted on this forum and on others, claiming to be neutral scientists. I do not take long to ascertain their scientific illiteracy and to call them on it. Their reaction is always the same, i.e. to get pissy in a "you ruined it for me!" manner.

If they try to claim to be engineers, Into the Night is all over them in a heartbeat. The point is that Global Warming draws the political activists out of the woodwork claiming to be scientists. You have to be gullible to buy it because all believers in Global Warming or in Climate Change or in Greenhouse Effect are either scientifically illiterate or are flat out science deniers. All of them. If you fall for the "I'm a scientist and Global Warming is REAL" line then count yourself as gullible.

Climate 'scientists' have a reason to lie. It's their whole career at stake. They CHOSE to become high priests of the Church of Global Warming.

Scientists (not including climate 'scientists') also have reason to lie. They are paid by government grants. Those grants come with the Church of Global Warming string attached. If they don't support the Church of Global Warming, they don't get paid. They don't get their grants.

Then some scientists simply believe it. It's their religion, just like Christianity is the religion of many scientists. That religion colors everything they do, and they can often wind up leaping to conclusions.

However, when someone says <insert large number here> scientists agree on 'global warming', that is making an argument from randU fallacy. They are making up numbers.

It's my point IBDM. I get to say what the implications are. You can refute the implications if you want.

Comparing two unrelated groups is your point???

I guess my point to you ITN is that you substitute name calling and false accusation for sensible conversation.

I have accused you of nothing other than being a Marxist, which you freely admitted to.
I have called you no names. But I will this time, dumbass.

Contextomy fallacy. Argument of the Stone fallacy. Bulverism fallacy.

In my plumbing store in Fremantle there is a photo of the harbour dated 1868 and the sea level is in exactly the same place today.Do what I did go and have a look.I do not need some pratt from thousands of miles away telling me the sea has gone up 200mm when it has not

Can you make a copy of that photo and then go out with your camera and replicate that photo today from the same angle?

That would be GOLD! You could singlehandedly kill Global Warming in one fell swoop. You would lay the entire global conversation to rest!


Allow me to add that there would be a Climate-Debate trophy involved. Absolutely.

@ tmiddles, we are approaching your one year anniversary of joining us here at Climate-Debate. July 7th is the day. Mark it on your calendar.

Let's reflect back on those early days:

tmiddles wrote: Wouldn't this contradict an actual greenhouse? It's hot air who's thermal energy is being held within the space (green house or atmosphere). Light isn't being trapped, but the heat is being held. It's energy from the sun and so it's not being created just stored a bit longer.


tmiddles wrote:The greenhouse effect is not blocking light, or reflecting light back in towards the earth. It's simply holding onto a bit more thermal energy longer that would otherwise escape sooner.


tmiddles wrote: Do you believe in sweaters? Semantic games are waste of everyone's time too. Thermal energy storage is real enough to not bother another mention.


It's interesting that you thought you could get away with claiming that you were never discussing thermal energy since it was exactly what you came here to preach.

tmiddles wrote:If you argue that the greenhouse effect is a myth you're wasting everyone's time.


... and one full year after making this stupid claim you still haven't unambiguously defined Greenhouse Effect such that it doesn't violate physics. Let's revisit your first stab at defining Climate. It was precious:

tmiddles wrote:Oh and I can help you with "Climate", it's defined as the weather, which is the temperature, precipitation/humidity, and wind. So now you know!
Of course we're mainly talking about the temperature as people usually are when discussing the weather. But come on man. I didn't even need a dictionary for that.

Too funny!

... and who can forget this gem given in response to James__ politely explaining how the Inverse Square law explains why planets that are farther away from the sun are colder than planets closer to the sun:

tmiddles wrote:[Venus] is MUCH HOTTER, as in higher in temperature, than the inverse square would give you due to it's atmosphere.


Do you remember when you were projecting your true vision of science? How science is really just you and your other superhero friends on the Justice League saving the planet with your omniscience? It was quite a revealing moment:

tmiddles wrote:Science can measure things very competently. They are really doing amazing work. Look at all the incredible technology we have! Science is not as pathetic and useless as you seem to make it out to be.


Good times!

IBDM, is there a celebration planned? July 7 is better than July 6. If you're alive on July 7, it should matter just as, not sure on this one. Joining this forum is pretty much a mistake сынь.
