Global Warming for Dummies

[DimPrawn]

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.

I was asking pjclarke, who at least seems to have a grip of the subject rather than your random personal opinions.

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.

Goto 5.

I propose an experiment.

Lets sit around drinking tea for 10 years and then look out of the window and see if we are all ****ed.

It's what the public sector has done since Labour came to power.

He probably thought I had dealt with the bloke adequately.
But do carry on, its fun watching you dig.

No concensus!

Q. 1. When compared with pre-1800s levels, do you think that mean global temperatures have generally risen, fallen, or remained relatively constant?
Q 2. Do you think human activity is a significant contributing factor in changing mean global temperatures?

A. In our survey, the most specialized and knowledgeable respondents (with regard to climate change) are those who listed climate science as their area of expertise and who also have published more than 50% of their recent peer-reviewed papers on the subject of climate change (79 individuals in total). Of these specialists, 96.2% (76 of 79) answered “risen” to question 1 and 97.4% answered yes to question 2.

For the shorter attention-spanned: the more expertise you have in climatology, the more likely you are to accept the reality of AGW.

Well there does appear to be quite a community that disagrees with AGW.

I think in Dim's world someone who rejects evolution and is a proponent of intelligent design has adequate scientific credentials to debunk AGW, so he'd like to know what you make of the chappie.

[sasguru]

yes but by how much??

Goto 5.

What does Phil Jones have to say about this:

"From: Phil Jones
To: John Christy
Subject: This and that

The scientific community would come down on me in no uncertain terms if I said the world had cooled from 1998. OK it has but it is only 7 years of data and it isn’t statistically significant."

Was he in the 8% that disagreed.
