How Bad Is Global Warming?

[Ben D]

I see we've entered another brief cooling-of period.
We should be used to this by now.
Hard to time them though, due to their irregular occurrence.
A momentary respite from the incredible and irrepressible heated onslaught...
Ben-o-pause.

There has been 3,430 temperature record events in conus over the last four weeks....

I think there may be cause to doubt the "consensus". LOTS to chew on here.

According to the AGW fanatics, weren't we all supposed to be dead by now?

At least some of them said so ten to twenty years ago. Millions would be dead, etc, etc.

Never happened. Antarctic ice is actually GROWING but that never gets reported. Tons more REAL divergence from the mass societal control mechanism dreamed up by Enron (capntrade) and other fine folks a decade ago.

Sheesh.

I thought this was a website for people who thought OUTSIDE the box. Sometimes it seems like one of the most catholic of discussion boards around.

Yes, it's a sensitive issue, and one that I'd generally be loathe to raise here, but I have read that many believers in anthropogenic global warming behave towards those they perceive as believing less than true believers, in a manner more likely witnessed in religious zealotry.

Perhaps for that reason, AGW climate org provides a guideline for the more zealous adherents to help present a more reasonable face ...

I know right? I'm pretty sure there were no planes on 911 and yet the closed minded admin actually has a fucking rule against discussing it. And don't even try to mention crisis actors around here. People will jump down your throat and try to silence you. I guess we're only allowed to have the "right" thoughts. What will I do? I mean there really isn't anywhere else to go and discuss these things on the internet.

Why this obsession with thinking "outside the box" on something that is accepted as fact by pretty much everyone who knows what they're talking about. You know, the climate scientists.
(Yeah, I know, I'm a gate keeper for the establishment )

But silly me - I forgot they're all in it for the money. Because we all know that if you want to swim in champagne and hundred-dollar bills with a bunch of Victoria's Secret models, climate science is the way to go.

Not all climate skeptics (a great deal of whom are climate scientists) are conspiracy theorists.

I was an AGW believer until I read Kelly Mitchell's sober and sobering A Spiritual Autopsy of Science and Religion, a philosophy of science book that is full to the bursting with VERY good reasons to doubt a LOT of what we perceive to be consensus science (which is something that, since its inception, has never stopped changing).

I recommend it to everyone here.

By the way, turns out the Big Bang probably never happened, either.

Fucking right, Jerky. So when you gonna stick your head outta your box and take a look at the real world outside?

Talk about catholicism! I''m so fucking sick of high priests confusing my salvation with their salivation. Talk about blind belief! From Fucking Sun worshipers, no less!

[Jerky]

Huh?!?!?

[Iamwhomiam]

Not all climate skeptics (a great deal of whom are climate scientists) are conspiracy theorists.

Please name 3 of the "great deal of whom, (climate skeptics), are scientists."

Three please, Jerky. (No pms from Ben, please)

Or are these just empty words from someone living in nearly vacant box.

Here. I'll save you the trouble of tearing them apart by giving you the site that lists them and tears them apart for you based on YOUR prejudices.

At least that site lists their qualifications honestly, unlike other AGW propaganda sites.
