Why worry about global warming?

[laconicstudent]

You don't have any evidence to refute.

Neither do you, as far as I can tell, considering your use of a cartoon.

So you'll be able to list papers that were denied publication because of their conclusions rather than their poor content, or researchers who lost their funding (espcially in light of how much the oil industry tends to through around)?

Apparently the vast majority of professional climatologists and scientists whose expertise relates directly to global climate would disagree but.

But I'm sure they never saw those particular cartoons!

There ya go a first class cartoon against Global Warming.
CO2

 

[Baggins]

That doesn't appear to be a cartoon against global warming.

It certainly is free of content or argument. I'll give it a couple of mercy points for observing that a climate conference in Denmark in December isn't the best time and location to highlight the issue of global warming though.

Why was this thread brought back from the dead?

For a minute there I thought it was av doing his old thing.

Just goes to prove that creationists use Cartoon physics to prove their point.

Man caused global warming is a crock. It has never been proved that AGW is true here is a peer reviewed paper against AGW

We must keep the debate open and not bend to pressure to make radical decisions such as cap & trade.

 

[Greatcloud]

I'm not worried about global warming it is good news for the farmers of the world.

Sorry, I'll get into it in a bit, but I just want to comment that what jumps out at me really quickly is that there are only 10 citations in a 17 page paper, and every single one of the editorial board and the author himself supply .com and hotmail email addresses. Also, the other papers published in the journal are saying that plate tectonics is controversial and should be abandoned. Can we please acknowledge that this article is fringe at best?

Fringe? I would say crazy . It is published in a jorunal that says plate tectonics is controversial, it must be from the 60's or something.

While I agree 10 citations in a 17 paper are low, it shouldn't automatically discount the paper.

Edit: The paper is rather colloquial and lacks the university name at the top with the author's name.

 

[Mikecpking]

What amazes me is the deniabilty of some people, that burning fossil fuels with ever increasing amounts of CO2 emissions won't have an effect!

 

[Greatcloud]

Yes burning co2 in ever increasing amounts does have an effect but it is a local effect not global. The urban heat island effect is what is affected mainly.

It does not really matter what the cause is. You can not go back and change it now. We still have the reality that the ice is melting and the ocean level is going up. This is a cause for concern in a lot of very high population citys. There are already area where they have to watch the charts for high tide because that means flooding. Also cities like London has to be concerned with storm surges.

Says the man that thought the sun was shutting down

[Greatcloud]

Blaze the Sun did appear to be shutting down for a while it is good that the Sun is now active again.

Here is another peer reviewed paper against AGW.

Only to you, Greatcloud. No-one else thought the Sun was shutting down. The ultimate irony now being that the sun probably is shutting down...or will do in 10 years or so.

Here is another peer reviewed paper against AGW.
