    Hey look, it's the mainstream media faking science and confusing average people again.

    Global Warming IS happening. Average temperatures are increasing all over the world.

    What we don't know for a certainty is what is causing it. It looks very much like its being caused by human pollution, but it could very well still be a natural cycle of some kind. We don't fully understand the systems at work yet.

    But anyone trying to tell you it isn't happening is a liar, through and through.

    And what we have here gentlemen is your typical, uneducated left-winged liberal preaching more world destruction at the hands of the evil homosapien. Global climate change is a proven, and re-occuring fact that has, and will continue to happen over the life span of this planet. There is no hard fact evidence that proves humans of any sort are the cause; albeit we do shed our share of pollution, the extent of damage if any has not been proven by current scientific means.

    There are a bunch of think-tanks, journalists and political campaign groups going around telling people the facts aren't facts. It's an effective way to confuse people, since people tend to trust facts (and those who discover them - scientists).

    Undermining trust in scientists has been a masterstroke of opposition PR. Stability for well-established energy companies and industrialists may well have been achieved. The price doesn't matter to them.
    >> Anonymous 12/19/09(Sat)15:35:41 No.6712121
    The IPCC states that the planet has warmed over the last 300 years and acknowledges that for 280 years of the 300 years, the warming cannot be not attributed to human activity. But the IPCC says the last 20 years of warming is due to human activity CO2 emissions.

    Unfortunately, that's wrong... because satellite temperature data which has been proven to be the most reliable and accurate, shows that in the last 10 years the temperature has cooled by 0.5 0f 1 degree, and that there has not been any global warming over the last 15 years, and that in fact, global cooling has occurred over the last 9 years.

    I think it's really dangerous. India and China have LARGE populations, nuclear weapons, and LARGE armies. Ever heard the phrase "society is 3 meals away from anarchy"? Well, anarchy is contagious.

    India relies heavily on irrigated crops. So does China. Neither is able to pay massive premiums for feeding their citizens, as so many live near the poverty line already. India specifically, relies heavily for it's crops on irrigation from rivers which are fed from glacial melts. Which are rapidly dissapearing.

    China just has a massively quickly dropping water table and has in the last 2 years abandoned a state policy that they were going to attempt to be food self sufficient. They have finally admitted that that will not be possible given their population and arable land/water resources.

    It could be world war 3. And I live in Canada, which Gore predicts is the big winner in all this. Look at his maps, which pretty much show northwestern North America getting warmer and wetter. Soon, we might be the next rainforest.

    Which will be lucky, as global warming is allowing the mountain pine beetle free reign of the area, a devestating insect plague which used to be checked every year by historically cold winters killing off a lot of the population. So we might need to plant banana trees because we sure as fuck might not have any pine trees left by then.

    Drought is ugly. Just look at Darfur.

    every single "energy independance" idea that is VIABLE you leftards shout down

    Clean Coal, for instance. So clean it doesn't even fucking emit emissions. You can DRINK IT. But no, because garnering coal means mountaintop removal, can't do that either.

    Nuclear energy to reduce need for solid coal and oil factories? might blow up like 3 mile island!

    Energy independence is obtainable tommorrow in the US with just natural gas and coal and the oil we can find on our land but we aren't even allowed to go FIND most of it because of environmental regulations

    So how's about you get the EPA to stop being maniacs about our energy reserves at home, and then we can have energy independence and we can all forget about the global climate change hysteria and terrorism since we'll have nice, efficient, clean local energy sources to power us for another 250 + years?

It's an obvious fraud conspiracy because there's a huge profit motivation behind the proponents of the fear mongering combined with emails which show clear collusion to alter facts, admission of destruction of underlying data, and pernicious use of peer pressure to undermine a process that is supposed to insure validity of assertions made.

    Lying about it surely will get these things to happen much quicker and totally not backfire. Nope, never happend before.

    Nobody would opposes those ideas at all if they where viable on their own.

    Climate change?

    I only care about myself :)
    And that's it.

    I love how the butthurt delusioned fags whine around that Copenhagen conference was a big fail, whereas it was clear from the beginning.

    I think the outcome is great.

    Does it mean countries do nothing for climate? Only fags will believe this.

    Countries don't want to be binded and be controlled!
    That's about it.

    And i love how the 3rd world countries are protesting, wanting more and more money.
    Like it would do anything and reach the poor citizen.

    there is no thing called "climate change caused by humans"
    however there is a thing called "pollution of natural environment caused by humans"
    if Copenhagen lessen second one it was worth of it

    ITT: dumbasses who don't understand that this is all a matter of risk calculation, a matter of degree, not absolutes.

    Risk calculation: (95% x socioeconomic costs) vs. (0.3% x climate catastrophe).

    Yale economist William Norhaus ripped apart the alarmist crap in the Stern Review. Look it up, envirofags.

    The only reason this shitty topic gets attention is because scientists don't understand economics and governments fund science that provides rationalization for state interventionism.

    I'm not contributing because I'm not a fucking climatologist. I am an accountant. I am not qualified to comment on ANYTHING about climate models.

    And neither are you.

    This is why I love reading these threads no matter which side OP is on. Nobody fucking knows what they're talking about and at least I have the humility to say "I don't fucking know."

    it is a bad thing in that most of them are moving in that direction anyway but when you start throwing on a shit load of unnecessary fines and taxes all you're doing is driving up the costs of their goods which makes life harder on the normal people who rely on those goods to survive

    A better path would be subsidizing research into those technologies and driving the costs of those technologies down so that companies want to invest heavily in them because they are more efficient, more reliable and cheaper

    Yes, exactly, and alarmist climatologists don't understand economics and thus don't understand social risk calculation. They don't understand public choice modeling. They don't understand market failure vs. government failure. Yet they make policy arguments despite this ignorance. As such, their side of the debate is just as irrational and idiotic as the conspiracy theorists.

    That is why they fail.

    Yes, it is. It is dead weight loss. And, of course, government is not magical, it cannot create resources. It is an allocative body, and an incredibly corrupt, inefficient, and often counterproductive one. As even many environmentalists have pointed out, schemes like cap and trade will result in more pollution, not less.

    I live in New York City. When I was younger, there would be snow in late October and the leaves would get all orange in mid September. There would always at least be a few feet of snow by December and I'd have a white Christmas.

    Now the whole year is just a perpetual rainy season with tepid summers and 60s-70s as late as December. I can't remember the last time we had any snow sticking in December, which doesn't happen until a week or two in late January.

    Why is this?

    for the same reason that once about every half century the weather pattern which brings rain and winds to the Mid West shifts far south and takes all that rain through Mexico instead, which was the weather pattern responsible for creating the Dust Bowl in conjunction with people over tilling the soil hoping for rain and never receiving it because of the shift

    Weather patterns have cycles and even shift positions over time

    why do you fags bother? nothing will change from this thread one way or the other. and stupid people will continue to lead the debate in real life from both sides while your satirical and well cogent points will be lost in the shuffle of new posts. enjoy.
