Don't get too comfortable IBdaMann - I'm not done yet! And I have plenty of science left to discuss. I have yet to see much science being presented by you, however! This (the above) is so very typical of your posts (it's getting pretty predictable and boring now). Actually no science content whatsoever (even though you claim to know all about science), just lots of unsubstantiated waffle. You are the one who actually cannot find fault in the science, because if you could, you would present it on this forum, with links to the original source information. But you can't do that, can you? Because you can't find anywhere, in any published scientific document, anything that disputes the existence of the greenhouse effect. And btw, I think you might be confused about your whole 1st LoT argument. I've looked through a few climate change sceptic websites, and there are plenty of people stating that the 2nd LoT is not upheld by the greenhouse effect, but nothing about the 1st LoT... |

Hi Tom_A, Yes, let me echo you're sentiment. But please note that I've actually had some very productive discussions with IBdaMann (see: http://www.climate-debate.com/forum/bursting-the-atmosphere-what-happens-when-rain-falls-up-d6-e703.php#post_2193) With that said, let me also share with you something I posted in another forum today (see: http://www.climate-debate.com/forum/there-is-still-no-global-warming-science--d10-e507-s80.php#post_2331) Now, one last thought, Climate Scientist. When it comes to climate change doubters, I have found them to be much like the people who claimed cigarettes don't cause lung cancer. Yes, there are always exceptions to any rule, but the overwhelming data we have today does back the existence of man-made climate change. However, rather than take the big picture into account, climate change doubters will latch onto and question every minute detail like the child who always responds with "why?" no matter what answer you give to them. Don't get me wrong, doubt and skepticism are healthy components of any scientific inquiry. But doubt for the sake of saying "you are wrong," solely so one can say "I am right" and end the discussion, is not the foundation of healthy debate. In the end, this latter type of doubting is what leads to a self-justifying, self-centered Ptolemaic model of discourse that, no matter which way you spin it, cannot encompass the whole truth. Therefore, though I often doubt and am skeptical about many things, when it comes to debate entrenched in redundant self-serving doubt, I like to leave those kind of discourses, like irksome children, where they belong: in the corner. |

Hear, hear, trafn! Keeping an open mind is important. I base my knowledge on evidence, and there are some things that are so well established and engrained into science that I do not doubt them. The existence of greenhouse gases and the greenhouse effect is one of these, as is the existence of gravity, and the knowledge that the Earth is not flat. However, there are lots of aspects of climate science that are still extremely uncertain, and I make no claims to know all the answers. For example, if someone asked me exactly how high sea level will be in 100 years time, or what the mean atmospheric temperature will be in 2100, then I won't know the exact answer. As a scientist, it is very important to be sceptical, to prevent one from jumping to false conclusions. I am very willing to discuss sceptical aspects of climate science, and would be particularly interested if anyone has some peer reviewed literature that shows something which seems to bring current climate science knowledge/predictions into dispute. |

It never had anything to do with whether you were finished with anything. climate scientist wrote: And I have plenty of science left to discuss. I would be elated if you would actually begin. climate scientist wrote:I have yet to see much science being presented by you, however! Read my posts. I'm the only one presenting any science. The reason you haven't seen "much" more from me is because you can't get beyond your stupid violation of the 1st LoT. Apparently your dogma depends on it. It's almost as if your funding depends on it. Regardless, you won't explain how work is being accomplished so we don't get out of the starting gates. climate scientist wrote: You are the one who actually cannot find fault in the science, I can't find any fault in "The Science" because it is an unfalsifiable, physics-violating dogma that consfuses its congregation by its very name. When warmazombies venture unaware into a science discussion with adults, they can't even join the discussion without having to reach for a dictionary in the hopes that it will explain the science they need to understand. I'll tell you what, I'll start a thread for you. It will be a thread dedicated to your explanation of the science of the "greenhouse effect." You and I will keep the discussion limited to science. I will continue to post verifiable science that you are free to look up yourself. You will be responsible for providing all the science that you insist you have that is new to me. The rules: 1) Anything you claim to be "science" must be supported with the corresponding falsifiable model that resides in the current body of science. 1a) Papers and "studies" don't qualify as science, even if they are said to be "peer reviewed" ...or even "poor reviewed" ...because anyone can write a paper. 2) You must directly answer questions that are asked about your science (no dodges, no evasion) and answers to questions that are not asked don't count as answers 2a) Wikipedia citations and other non-authoritative sources don't count as "answers" I'm guessing that these rules above will not sit well with you because they kind of back you into a corner whereby you must 1) provide actual science and 2) you can't evade direct questions addressing apparent contradictions and violations, but we'll see. I will extend to you every opportunity to present the science you insist you have. climate scientist wrote: But you can't do that, can you? Because you can't find anywhere, in any published scientific document, anything that disputes the existence of the greenhouse effect. You are falling back on the same, tired religious argument that I can't prove your deity does not exist, just like Christians can correctly assert that we can't prove "God" doesn't exist. This is the very essence of "unfalsifiability." This is why falsifiable models are required for science, and why neither "God" nor the "greenhouse effect" have any associated science. So, yes, you are absolutely correct that I cannot prove your "greenhouse effect" doesn't exist. climate scientist wrote: And btw, I think you might be confused about your whole 1st LoT argument. I've looked through a few climate change sceptic websites, and there are plenty of people stating that the 2nd LoT is not upheld by the greenhouse effect, but nothing about the 1st LoT... First, you need to understand that I am not a "climate skeptic." "Climate Skeptics" are all religious believers in Global Warming, and believe in the "greenhouse effect" and in "greenhouse gases" just as you do. They are simply a competing denomination that does not accept the catastrophist part of the dogma and thus formed a separated schism within the Global Warming church. Second, the discussions you read were of a very different "greenhouse effect". Just as it is with any religious dogma, different members of the congregation assign their own personal meaning to the symbols of the faith. What the "greenhouse effect" means varies among different people. The bottom line is that every single one of them involves a violation of the laws of physics. Yours happens to involve a violation of the 1st LoT. The one you read was from the "Climate Forcing" sect. According to them, the "greenhouse effect" is the cooler upper atmosphere warming the warmer lower atmosphere, in direct violation of the 2nd LoT. Of course they, just like you, insist this is not a violation of thermodynamics and that anyone who dares to blaspheme against the "greenhouse effect" obviously doesn't understand "The Science." Third, I am an atheist. I have no theism. I have no dogma. I exclusively take the science perspective so I readily recognize dogmatic bullchit when I see it. I thoroughly understand the laws of thermodynamics and when someone resorts to telling me that I am somehow confused on the matter, I know s/he is getting desperate and simply won't admit not fully understanding him/herself. Look, all you have to do is ask. I don't mind explaining. I don't think i can [define it].

To everyone following this thread, Might I suggest that if you'd like to participate in the process that IBdaMann gave the rules for in the prior post, that you do so in the thread he's created for this purpose at: http://www.climate-debate.com/forum/the-science-of-the-greenhouse-effect-d6-e713.php#post_2340 This way, all contributions to this discussion will be in one place instead of spread out and, therefore, easier to follow. |

I have created this same thread in many different forums and it is always the same. Complaints. No science ever gets discussed, just preemptive complaints about my pointing out logical fallacy after logical fallacy.

Ceist wrote: Are you admitting to being even whackier than the Sky Dragon Slayers? In your mind, yes, absolutely, ...except I would write it "wackier" (without the "h"). I don't know if you have ever had the privilege of listening to two Christians of differing denominations seriously arguing over some stupid difference of their respective dogmas. They could be hurling insults over how the other is not a "true" Christian. However, the one thing neither of them wants is for an atheist like me to jump into the discussion and start telling them what science has to say about the topic. They will join forces until I leave, then when they believe I'm gone they'll resume their petty squabble. The same thing applies to warmazombies and climate lemmings, i.e. differing denominations of the Global Warming faith. The warmazombies refer to the climate lemmings as "deniers" because the climate lemmings don't accept the catastrophic doom-n-gloom of the warmazombie denomination, and the climate lemmings insult warmazombies as baseless fear-mongers who should be ignored. But neither want an atheist like me to jump into the discussion and say what science has to say about the topic. Warmazombies and climate lemmings even moreso than Christians because Global Warming dogma, called "The Science" really confuses the entirety of the congregation by its name alone. Many, like yourself, naturally put the word "mainstream" in front of it to reflect your belief that you are in the majority, and that a majority of subjective "consensus" is somehow important. So, yes, I bring that wacky, falsifiable, verifiable science to the discussion that will certainly rub you the wrong way, moreso than mere sky dragon slayers. I don't think i can [define it].

Hi Everyone, I have enjoyed participating on various threads over the past few weeks here on Cimate-Debate.com. It is wonderful to have a place where we can freely exchange ideas on this topic. Unfortunately, some of the threads like this one have taken on negative overtones which no longer facilitate ongoing goodwill which is the foundation of this website. In cases such as this, I have decided that the best way to respond to such threads is by not responding to them at all and ceasing any further participation in them. The reason I'm posting this is to let you know that instead of continuing participation here, I have created my own new thread, and I invite you to do the same. You can join my new thread at: http://www.climate-debate.com/forum/the-2-minute-warning-clock-on-climate-change-d6-e714.php To assist in maintaining a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere on my thread, I'm going to suggest the following guidelines: 1. Please stay on topic. If you find my new thread inspires tangential ideas which you'd like to share with others, then create a new thread of your own for that purpose and post an invitation to it from my thread. 2. Please direct your critical posts/comments to the message and not the messenger (i.e. - anyone expressing themselves either on this website or outside of this website). Agreement is not required, but respect is requested. 3. Please avoid posting road blocks. Repetitive and redundant posts serve only to draw attention to oneself and create conflict. Given I lack the capacity to take authoritative action, I cannot moderate my new thread. However, think of me like a janitor who aspires to maintain a welcoming environment for everyone. If someone does not follow the thread's guidelines, I will post a request asking them to amend their post of concern. Should they refuse, then in the spirit of maintaining goodwill here I will contact the website administrator/moderator and ask that they intervene. Should you find another participant violating these guidelines, I would ask that you not respond to them. Instead, if I have not already addressed your concerns by post in my new thread, please notify me so that I might do so immediately. I look forward to your participation in my new thread and the opportunity to exchange ideas with you. Sincerely, Trafn |

Usually that means EVASION but sometimes that means banning the guy presenting the science. I don't think i can [define it].

Usually that means EVASION but sometimes that means banning the guy presenting the science. You are the epitome of a hypocrite. I have asked you numerous times to post links to the source information of your inaccurate 'scientific' posts and you have not done so. You are the one evading the science, which I have clearly posted for you, with reference to physics resources. If you expect anyone to believe a word of what you have posted above, then post some links that support your 'scientific' statements. Your pathetic attempts to avoid my very easy request are exposing you as a fraud. |

Wow, I guess I've found a way to push your buttons! I'm not going anywhere. You are free to leave if you are too upset to participate in this discussion any further. It is not an unreasonable or difficult request. Apparently I am a loser and a fraud, and yet I am still able to post references and links that support the information I have posted on this blog. Why are you not capable of doing this too? |

Anyway, I found your "Science of the Greenhouse Effect" post interesting but I'm not sure what you are proposing there. I'm curious about what is your field of study if you don't mind me asking. |

Hi IBdaMann, Personally, I'm neither religious, agnostic, nor an atheist, as I don't think that we as a species have evolved far enough to be able to understand the concept of God. In addition, I find it laughable to think that we could be of any interest or importance to anything that was God. Check out this Youtube clip, The Island of Misfit Toys: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SH1j1luFOw I think we live on the planet of misfit toys. Everything here, the people, the animals, the plants, etc. are things that didn't work out as planned and were, therefore, exiled to Earth. And to as whether there's other life in the universe, if there isn't and we're the best God can do, then God's an idiot. No, I believe there is other life in the universe and they know better to leave us alone as we don't play well with others. In fact, we don't even play well with ourselves. |

If you do have a theism then you are theistic (which would make you religious to that extent). Agnosticism is a philosophical view on what is knowable and what is not knowable, and is not a theistic position. trafn wrote: In addition, I find it laughable to think that we could be of any interest or importance to anything that was God. Very true. What kind of sick, narcissistic ego-maniac creates sentient beings for the purpose of being worshiped by them and who punishes with eternal torment those who fall short of the "worship" mark...out of unconditional love for all of his/her creations? trafn wrote: In fact, we don't even play well with ourselves. If we were discussing this in a political forum then I would be pointing out that this is actually a sign of intelligence in the struggle to survive in a world of competition induced by limited resources. The question becomes: If there is a gOd, why did she/he/it imprison us on a dust speck with so limited resources while making an entire universe of space that is completely hostile to human life? Christians absurdly claim that the universe is "fine-tuned" for human life. The truth is that the universe, if it were engineered/designed, was therefore obviously created to kill any humans who tried to escape the terrestrial prison. To believe Christianity, one must believe that we are more like gladiator slaves who are forced to fight in the arena and emerge victorious if we wish to live another day. Or perhaps we're the dogs in the pit with gOd tossing in a single piece of meat over which we can choose to fight for his/her/its entertainment or we can opt to starve.

Not that it's particularly relevant, like a lot of stuff in this thread, but God is merely the manifestation of an obscure and futile desire to draw attention to oneself. |

Agreed, IBdaMann. Actually, science (that of climate change or any other form) and religion are two different sides of the same coin. Religion tries to explain away the unknown by invoking blind faith (i.e. - A + "a miracle" = , whereas science tries to expand our knowledge of the world by invoking logic (i.e. - A + B = C). Sadly, in today's world, the reigning religion is money, and capitalist are its high priest. They and their corporate henchmen will stop at nothing to protect their hoarded material wealth which they have created by stealing away free will from the masses and enslaving us all with an addiction to petrochemicals. That said, I go off-line for a moment so I can fill up my car with gas. |

Hi Earthling, John Christy, who you quote above, is undoubtedly a highly intelligent and highly educated individual who, unlike many climate science critics, is actually a climate scientist, all of which are things I admire about him. Given the study of man-made climate change is relatively new (James Hansen didn't make the first announcements before the U.S. congress until the 1908's), it's quite reasonable to assume that there will still be some respectable skeptics like Dr. Christy within the scientific community. That said, he is part of a grossly outnumbered minority which are worth listening to, but not, perhaps, in exclusion to the overwhelming majority of the scientific community which sees the issue contrary to his viewpoint. His position is analogues to that of Peter H. Duesberg (1936-?), a German American molecular biologist and a professor of molecular and cell biology at the University of California, Berkeley. At the age of 49 he was elected to the National Academy of Sciences. He received an Outstanding Investigator Grant (OIG) from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in 1986, and from 1986 to 1987 was a Fogarty Scholar-in-Residence at the NIH laboratories in Bethesda, Maryland. He too, like Dr. Cristy, is a highly educated and intelligent person. Yet, starting in 1987, he denied that HIV was the cause of AIDS, a position I believe he still holds today. I had the opportunity to speak by phone several times with Professor Duesburg between 1987 and 2000, and his arguments are not without merit. Yet, few people then or now give his position much credence. Perhaps you might want to reassess Dr. Christy from this perspective. |
