  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Many of the charts of warming have shown that the fastest places to warm are the furthest up in the northern hermisphere.. trust me, even in Canada it's noticable. Global warming or not - something is messed up in the environment. By this time of year it's usually about 12-15, it's been 20-25 the past few weeks.

Last winter, there was a week in the middle where we could practically wear shorts, then the next week it was -20. Even more messed up, sometimes those two happened right next to each other: One day far too warm to be winter, then a sudden chill that had even the hardy Canadians complaining. We're messing with the environment, and the environment is messing back.

Are you claiming that a website ABOUT collecting proxy data is the same as actually COLLECTING proxy data?

You said there was "proxy data from both sides." But only one side is actually doing any science and actually collecting data.

What side do you think those doing the collecting for submission to that site are on ? What do you think they are looking for ?

THERE ARE MANY SCIENTIST DOING THE WORK FOR THE SKEPTIC SIDE. fOR CRYING OUT LOUD YOU ARE BRAINWASHED THERE ARE MANY SCIENTIST WHO ARE SKEPTICAL THIS IS WHERE I GET MY DATA. I COULD NOT DO IT OTHERWISE.

No, nearly all of your data is taken from work by scientists who wholly endorse global warming as both occurring and very likely caused by humans. The deniers then take that data and lie about it to attempt to say something that the data does not say.

No there are two sides we have our own graphs and data which is mostly what I use. I can spot an Alarmist chart a mile away.

I'm sorry, what? Those scientists agree that global warming is occurring, and that it's likely caused by human emissions of CO2. How, precisely, are they on "your side"?

I can't believe your hubris and chutzpa both Spencer and Christy are emphaticaly skeptic. You show me where this is not true please. I believe GW is occuring and 2.5% is caused by man.

Lol -- you throw up a politically partisan "institute" as evidence? I might also note that they didn't collect any data... Sure, denialists like to make pretty charts, but how many are drilling ice cores, counting tree rings or examining varves?

Again, "your side" doesn't generally collect data. They don't often produce models, and they certainly don't make measurements!

Of course you could easily prove me wrong. Instead of showing a website claiming to tell how cosmic rays MIGHT affect clouds, show a study showing that cosmic rays DO cause clouds in the atmosphere. Sure, radiation can generate nucleation sites, but all the experimental data has shown that it's not significant in cloud formation.

Of course, do feel free to prove me wrong! Show me some skeptics that take data as you've claimed, not just pump out pretty graphs. I'm not saying that analyzing data isn't important, but you seem to think denialists collect proxy data (since you presented a site ABOUT proxy data in response to a claim that denialists DON'T collect proxy data). We're not saying there's no denialist claims INCLUDING proxy data as you seem to think -- we're showing that your specific claim that denialists COLLECT proxy data is bogus.

Do you understand what a Bell curve is? I don't think that term means what you think it means.

And by all means -- show not how radiation can create nucleation sites but how it DOES and with a significant effect in the atmosphere. Also, you might show even ONE reason why I should take your alleged correlation (with error bars of course!) to suggest causation.

Medieval Warm Period Record of the Week
Was there a Medieval Warm Period? YES, according to data published by 599 individual scientists from 354 separate research institutions in 38 different countries ... and counting! This issue's Medieval Warm Period Record of the Week comes from Naja Lake, Lacandon Forest, Chiapas, Mexico. To access the entire Medieval Warm Period Project's database, click here.

You can see all the data here collected by skeptical scientists.

Haha! Read the interviews in the piece you linked.

Uh, why on Earth do you think that all of these scientists think global warming either isn't happening or isn't caused by mankind?

Seriously, read your sources for comprehension! They don't collect data themselves, they search through other scientists' work and pick out the bits that agrees with their stated assumption -- that the warm period was warmer and longer than "alarmists" think.

Most of them not all are skeptics because they are contributing proxy data to prove a MWP.

That is a complete non-sequiter. First of all, the existence of a medieval warm period is completely and utterly besides the point when it comes to whether or not the current warming is man-made. The precise temperature of the Earth during that period is interesting, but in no way whatsoever impacts measurements of the causes of the current climate change.

So no, that a scientist argues for the existence of a medieval warm period in no way, shape, or form indicates that said scientist is a global warming denier.

The only people that you link to that I can be sure are deniers are those that are taking the MWP science out of context in a ridiculous attempt to show that it indicates the world isn't warming now, or that the current warming isn't caused by humans.

Virtually nobody believes there is no GW . And now for something completely different :http://www.climate-skeptic.com/2007/09/chapter-6-skept.html
Please tell me what you think of this site it is fairly technical.

It goes over the same discredited arguments.

Though I find it amusing that they claim that land use is a big effector of global climate. I don't doubt that it has some effect, but that's still anthropogenic global warming, still something that we can affect in an active way. The problem, however, is quantifying this contribution, and I don't think it holds a candle to the contribution from CO2, from everything I've read on climate science to date.

Thank you for looking at this website.

Which of these graphs to you believe ?
