It's interesting that the consequences of climate change are always just far enough away that by the time we get to that point in the near future, no one will remember the warnings to realize they never came true.

Remember when all gore said that by 2010 people in North America would never see snow again? And that by 2015 all of our coastal cities would be under water? They keep moving those goal posts and people still keep buying into it.

What are we supposed to do about it anyways? Tax other nations and corporations if they do not meet with our standards for carbon output. Its a scam, and all it's going to do is get the retarded liberal lead western nations to pay more for stupid shit while our competitors laugh and actually get shit done.

Thats like not taking the opinion of a biologist seriously when asking about drug resistant bacteria. You're a fucking moron, they are heavily invested in it, BECAUSE ITS THEIR FUCKING JOB TO RESEARCH IT. You dont know how science works, they're not out there to conspire against you, they follow a process based on rational thinking and empiricism and publish whatever results they get.

If you have a climate science question, you ask a fucking climate scientist because he knows better than you, you dumb shit.

FRAME 1

1 is false.

2 - just because there's no "uncertainty range" doesn't mean the graph is misleading. Indeed, the graph in the 2nd frame uses an uncertainty range to make model predictions look like they could be accurate when they are not (they are clearly running too high and observation is about to break out of the bottom).

3 - The data sets ARE in close agreement.

4 - no idea what they're talking about, there's not another group of satellite temps.

5 - I'm sick of the faggots who complain about the region being analyzed. If AGW theory is true then this region would absolutely show the effect. If it's not showing the effect then either there is no warming, or the warming else where is not anthropogenic (man made).

FRAME 2 - LOL this very clearly shows that the models are running away from reality. You can cut all the other frames and just post this one since it shows the truth: minor warming due to CO2 alone with no H2O amplification.

FRAME 3 - the global surface record is shit due to UHI effects and flat out tampering. It's no longer a scientific data set. It's a mythology.

FRAME 4 - sea level rise is at the low end of all the scary predictions.

FRAME 5 - Arctic sea ice melt literally cannot be due to atmospheric warming. It is driven entirely by ocean temps and currents. And no, ocean warming isn't sufficient to explain it either. It's probably just a natural cycle.

On the other side of the world, Antarctica is gaining ice. Antarctica is the one that matters btw. The Arctic could melt completely and ocean levels wouldn't change 1".

FRAME 6 - at this point the ocean surface temperature set is a fiction just like the ground data set. Why? When buoy temps didn't show the expected rise they incorporated engine intake temps for ocean crossing vessels. Engine intake water. As in "preheated."

Nice try though.
>>
>>70910579
Clearly not! Science definitely doesn't work that way. Muh purity of science.

Lemme tell you how this goes if you even brush up against Climate Science.

I set up an experiment to demonstrate chaos theory, and how it makes modelling even very simple things very complex in reality. I did this by building a pool playing robot. I went overboard on sensors and measurements. It took literal minutes for the computer science whiz kids to model the robot striking the cue ball and it's subsequent travel along the pool table.

At some point in this experiment, I was joined by a friend who has already completed his Phd. He suggested that we scrap the entire thing and never speak of it. I didn't.

A Stanford mathematics Phd and a Phd candidate along with Stanford Computer Science geeks, could not model the travel of the cue ball accurately. It can't be done.

I was not allowed to publish. I had to find a new supervisor, and I'm at risk of losing my place here and all of my work for even posting this story.

It doesn't matter because CO2 is a weak GHG. The maximum forcing for a doubling of preindustrial CO2 levels, absent feedbacks, is +1.2C. Everyone agrees on this and it is not in dispute. But not because "muh consensus!" It's basic physics.

The IPCC gets its 2-8C warming range based primarily on a range of H2O amplifications. Observation to date indicates there is no H2O amplification. At all.

Now you know.

There is no neutral party, this topic is politicized for a reason. Academia is performing its services to support a desired outcome. The outcome is increased leverage and a bigger slice of the pie that is the US energy industry for the government. The only real industry that is left in the US. Eventually it will move to taxes on other nations and even corporations. If you don't see that this is a powermove I can't help you out. I'm not trashing academia, but when there is this much at stake I would never think anyone has only pure motive.

>79 people out of a group of 3k+ is a reasonable sample size
I'm sorry, how true are those statistics made by Fox and whatever media company on political standings again?

also this:
>Its a scam, and all it's going to do is get the retarded liberal lead western nations to pay more for stupid shit while our competitors laugh and actually get shit done.

>Implying we aren't creating a new ice age to kill off all the non whites

>The world is never-changing, and anything that does happen is because humans are asshoels
>be it extinction, natural disasters or global temperature

if scientists were around during the mini-ice age, would they blame it on humans as well?

Would Chicxulub be the fault of pesky mortal meddling as well?

explain how this is a powermove? by whom? What does the US stand to gain by taxing other nations? China probably won't give a fuck...

If the US could impose more taxes on the energy production industries here (like oil and natural gas) then it would be a huge win for them. If they could implement carbon taxes they could use them as leverage against domestic companies the oligarch class sees as competitors or who just wont play along. European nations leadership are pretty easily swayed by anything "progressive" and will gladly pay a carbon tax or open up their own companies to being subject to the tax for whatever reason they do their crazy shit.

so in the end, they'd be raping european businesses, but wouldn't it be better if they started fucking over chinese/russian/asian businesses? they pose more of a threat than the communist superstate which will roll on its back and die in a few years I'd say

China, no. But remember Keagan's leaked "Fuck the EU" leaked call? You see the immigrant crisis at least. The Ukraine bullshit, also. The groups in charge don't give a flying fuck, and its not about the taxes really, its about having more control and leverage over the EU.

They can't right now. Russia threw out all of our NGOs last year, and China doesn't fuck around either. The least we can do is make sure the EU can't pivot to Russia for the forseeable future due to internal crisis.
