Re: Global warming

And, of course, we need a guarantee that reducing carbon dioxide emissions will:

1. Slow down global warming.
2. Not throw the planet into an ice age.

Re: Global warming

Ah, so you are agreeing with me by arguing with me. That's a novel twist.

Re: Global warming

So, obviously the species will survive even with a few thousand survivors of the crisis. This is good to know. I'm sure that with modern technology and scientific knowledge we can do a bit better...

Re: Global warming

'Ever' matters for two reasons:

1. It's wrong.
2. It makes those who are trying to make the case for human induced global warming look like they are now resorting to hyperbole and exaggeration to...

Re: Global warming

Not only that, if the world is going to grow enough food to feed the 9 billion people expected by 2050, it needs to be warmer and we need more carbon dioxide, not less, in the atmosphere.

Re: Global warming

Obviously the amount of energy put out by the sun is something that the current climate models can only make assumptions about. If they have assumed that solar activity will remain as high as it was...

Re: Global warming

Absolutely. The primary reason I have problems with those who propose that humans are causing potentially catastrophic climate change include:

1. Their data are either unavailable or cherrypicked....

Re: Global warming

UNfortunately the paper does not name the individuals who responded to the survey. I shall email the authors and ask for that list.

Question 2 is flawed however, because we don't need to know what...

Re: Global warming

Well, let's start from first principles.

1. We have observed that the earth is warming.

2. Now we need to establish what could possibly cause the earth to warm.

That's not evidence, that's hearsay. Are their names published anywhere? It might be useful to email them see if they can provide some evidence.

Re: Global warming

Not really. It merely continues to prove that you have no evidence. The whole point of evidence is that it has to be evident.
