    Most people believed the geocentric over the heliocentric theory for decades after scientists believed otherwise.

    Epic fail.

      Dr. Theon appears to have retired from NASA in 1994, some 15 years ago. Until yesterday I had never heard of him (despite working with and for NASA for the last 13 years). His insights into both modelling and publicity appear to date from then, rather than any recent events. He was not Hansen's 'boss' (the director of GISS reports to the director of GSFC, who reports to the NASA Administrator). ...

      If it comes from Inhofe, assume false until proven otherwise, you won't go far wrong.
      And Roy Spencer?

      I suppose he is a nutter as well?

      The temperature chart shows a gradual natural background warming with spikes caused by natural phenomena.

      Where's the runaway heating and where's the correlation to CO2 levels?



      The case for natural climate change I also present an analysis of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation which shows that most climate change might well be the result of….the climate system itself! Because small, chaotic fluctuations in atmospheric and oceanic circulation systems can cause small changes in global average cloudiness, this is all that is necessary to cause climate change. You don’t need the sun, or any other ‘external’ influence (although these are also possible…but for now I’ll let others work on that). It is simply what the climate system does. This is actually quite easy for meteorologists to believe, since we understand how complex weather processes are. Your local TV meteorologist is probably a closet ’skeptic’ regarding mankind’s influence on climate.

      Climate change — it happens, with or without our help.

        Reduced to wheeling out the same nutter twice?
        This is beyond parody.



        Seriously Dim. Goto 5. As most on CUK have noticed you're several chisels short of a full tool box, even if you are a nice bloke.

          Fifty-nine percent (59%) of Americans say it’s at least somewhat likely that some scientists have falsified research data to support their own theories and beliefs about global warming. Thirty-five percent (35%) say it’s Very Likely. Just 26% say it’s not very or not at all likely that some scientists falsified data.
          That compares quite favourably with the 57% of Americans who thought that Iraq had WMD and the 40% who believe we actually found them.

            I think we need to review Einsteins theory of relativity.

            ...and how about John Forbes the nobel prize winner of game theory(Beautiful Mind) , he was a bit of a nutter as well.

                      Don't forget Isaac Newton, he was a bit of a nutcase.

                      ...ah my pencil just floated up from the floor to the desk.

                      I think that gravity was a nutty idea.
