Human role in warming 'more certain' - UN climate chief

[Old Hack]

Thanks for yet another concise, lucid, focused post that sheds some light on the matter.

I think it made perfect sense.

Well to quote the original article :

The panel is due to deliver its latest report on the state of the climate later this week in Stockholm, Sweden.

Its last report was criticised after an error on glaciers unveiled other flaws, but Prof Pachauri said procedures had been reformed and strengthened.

He also dismissed suggestions of a slowdown in global warming.

"There’s definitely an increase in our belief that climate change is taking place and that human beings are responsible,” he told me.

"I don't think there is a slowdown (in the rate of temperature increase). I would like to draw your attention to the World Meteorological Organization which clearly stated on the basis of observations that the first decade of this century has been the warmest in recorded history.

nothing like a bit of certainty then eh Ass?

No science is certain, that was my point.

Nothing is certain in this life. Expect perhaps the cretinity of your posts.

so why highlight the word might in my post, it is entirely relevant?


The only thing that is certain is that the Politicians are taxing based on AGW/AGC/GCC/ "something might be wrong with the climate but we can't prove it " Yet they are doing nothing about solving it.

You tit, that was Vetran's point; whilst it's still not fact based, he'll continue to show it the kind of attention it deserves

[Old Hack]

When I see some conclusive facts then I will be convinced, currently the only thing I see is politicians taxing while the earth might burn one day.

Thanks for yet another concise, lucid, focused post that sheds some light on the matter.

You did

[vetran]

I didn't. HTH.

actually you didn't my apologies.

No science is certain, that was my point.

Scientists usually take for granted a set of basic assumptions that are needed to justify the scientific method:

1. That there is an objective reality shared by all rational observers
2. That this objective reality is governed by natural laws
3. That these laws can be discovered by means of systematic observation and experimentation

"Climate scientists" (sic) conveniently ignore point 3 and rely on conjecture and the connivance of useful idiots not to question the underlying observations or seek empirical proof
