global warming may take a decade off

Like I said no such valid survey exists.

They used a biased sample and only included 218 skeptics out of 1886 scientists (11%), so obviously you will get 90% in agreement.

So in order to figure out how many skeptics exist in a pool of researchers you will only be happy when they start with a pool with 50% skeptics?

The whole point of any citation analysis such as this one would be to find out what the consensus is. It is painfully obvious that the consensus is that AGW is real. That is why it is hard to find more than about 218 skeptics out of 1886 scientists in this area. That's kind of the point!

Spend some time at a research facility that does this sort of thing, or spend some time around earth/climate scientists. It is really hard to find "skeptics" among them. Not impossible, but certainly hard.

This whole meta debate over how firm, exactly, the consensus actually is is somewhat beside the point.

But again, in order to assess the population of X in Y if X is low then it will only make up a small portion of Y. It's tautological.

ADMIN HAT ON



My apologies for not opening this back up sooner.

However, there was a big clean up because of mass flaming. We really don't want to go back to that.

So play nice.


Also, moved from American Politics.

Interestingly the depletion of ozone and the subsequent repair would fit the resulting temperatures shown in the graphs quite nicely. It explains the rapid rise of temperatures in the ninties and as the ozone was repaired to previous levels the pause is also explained. Further proof of this is the 1993 Montreal accord.

If there is a hoax it would not be that it doesn't exist, it would be the severity of the virus being way overexaggerated. The problem is that it is so easy to put a microscope on whatever you want to. I started out shaking my head so hard at people who were comparing it to the flu, because of the death rate percentage that I was constantly being told. As each week went by my skepticism at this death rate kept growing. It is a horrible shame that there are people suffering, but I'm just trying to understand how they can know the infected rate, because everything they say about the virus makes it sound flat out unstoppable, and it would have spread like wildfire by now if that was all accurate.

Neither 5000 ppm, 500 ppm, nor even 400 ppm is ideal for the thermal balance of the current biosphere, human settlement pattern and economic activity.

That is because you are using the wrong graphs:

Revisiting the pause , what happens when the El Nino years end and the La Nina years dominant. Will the pause appear again ?
The pause never happened.

Despite this predicted pause in temperature in 2008... most of the hottest years on record happened since.

Are you ready to make any claims about the future cooling period after this one was proven to be false?

We're in a low solar energy period and we aren't in El Nino... why is it still hot?

Why is it getting hotter of the ozone has repaired itself?

There's less CFCs and less ozone damage then ten years ago? Why is it hot again?

Cosmic Ray's and ozone depletion describe global warming in much better detail than greenhouse gas theroy. The theroy of ozone depletion says that when ozone was being depleted by CFCS the temperature record was warmer. The warming of the ninties matches exceptionally well with ozone depletion. Also the banning of CFCs and the recovery of the ozone layer matches the pause between 1998 and 2014.

You have probably noticed a similarity between the date of the rapture and the end of AGW. We always have people predicting both and being wrong every single time. Of course that does not stop them. They merely wait a bit and make another prediction. Some have more patience than others. I am currently following a series of videos on one lady that has made at least 14 different rapture predictions for this year alone. Guess what? We are still here.

The simple answer is a volcano and several El Nino years which effects of last several years. After they are over the pause will be visible again.
Any specifics?

Because you resurrecting this thread of people claiming in 2008 that the warming was over and now finally we'll see the magical pause... then the hottest years on record arriving seems like the whole thing is nonsense.
