rushmc 18 #51 January 22, 2016 cvfd1399Well first you gotta be consistent with what you believe if you want to debate something. this needs to start with warmists They keep reframing the topic to make it harder to deal with them Remember! It used to me man made global warming but they renamed it to Climate Change Well duh The climate does change Sheeeesh"America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

EvilGenius 0 #52 January 22, 2016 I'm genuinely surprised about the idea that the satellite TLT trend doesn't show warming? As far as I can tell the most current data set is the RSS which shows an increase since satellite data became available in the 1980's. http://www.remss.com/measurements/upper-air-temperature The stratosphere cooling is consistent with overall global warming so that's not controversial right? Balloon data (Radiosonde) is in agreement with the TLT data although apparently the data from the tropics is all screwed up for a reason I don't understand. http://www.remss.com/measurements/upper-air-temperature/validation I don't buy the argument of the guy in the wattsupwiththat link as the dude is plotting atmospheric temperature on top of surface data which reeks of BS. But I'd be interested is seeing where info on the cooling trend is (seriously this isn't sarcasm). Now whether this is due to human activities is a trickier question (I reckon it is personally) but it seems pretty clear it is getting warmer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
normiss 726 #53 January 22, 2016 It's a matter of belief, not factual data. Someone mentioned it earlier, "you have to be consistent with what you believe to debate it". Horse hockey. thanks Turtle, I was close! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billvon 2,739 #56 January 22, 2016 >Well first you gotta be consistent with what you believe if you want to >debate something. Nonsense! Consistency is for ivory-tower effete wine-sipping nerds. Here's how you do it: In years where there isn't an increase over a previous record (say, 2012) you claim "look at the surface data! Alarmists admit it's valid. It's been cooling for THREE YEARS! Too bad alarmists can't face those FACTS." In years where there is a small increase (say, 2014) you claim "OK, the data is valid, but there's only a 38% chance that this is the warmest year ever! Too bad alarmists can't face those FACTS." In years where there is a large increase (say, 2015) you claim "The data is invalid! Too bad alarmists use the wrong facts."

gunsmokex 1 #70 January 24, 2016 All of this carbon reduction, green conferences and global warming El Nino BS isn't going to matter for $%^# because eventually we are going to blow each up to shit anyways. Its inevitable the world is at constant war with one another for religious and political reasons and they can't figure out their differences so they blow each other up. Do you really think anyone is going to give a $#% when there are nukes sent off into the air and its 30mins until they hit and all hell breaks loose. Any reduction we've done to earth in carbon emissions is going to negated in milliseconds! I get it though I mean we have to have hope that we won't someday blow each other up to $%^ so that's why spend billions of $$ on reducing carbon. But we should go to the extreme that the homeless aren't taken care of our education system suffers. The green stuff is just getting to be a little overbearing anymore and some people are now making it into its own lifestyle/culture. Anyways I could care less, I smoke, drink, fart and burn my garbage because I in the end we are only here for a shot while maybe and the Earth will be a hell of a lot longer than any person will be.

I'm unsure whether this is because you watch too much of the wrong news or if it's because "we've always been at war with Eastasia", but in either case, I think you're wildly wrong.

gunsmokex 1 #72 January 24, 2016 Hmm I didn't watch the whole thing but I get the jist of it less people are dying and there are less wars. That may very well be but well placed weapons of mass destruction could potentially kill millions of people and the after math millions more. Sooo I'm not going to worry about carbon. If I lived in smog everyday I might but I don't I live is one of the least populated states in the US and I like it that way :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gunsmokex 1 #73 January 24, 2016 Sure it simple and not loaded with a bunch of hand picked stats but I think it sums it up pretty well. Its just in our nature to destroy ourselves.

wmw999 2,318 #74 January 24, 2016 It's only in our nature to "destroy ourselves" to the extent that there is no stasis. People in the individual aren't all that good at dealing with change, but new generations sometimes are good at dealing with new situations. One just hopes that the old wise men really are wise and recognize that change is inevitable, rather than hollering about it.
