Publishing Studies Denying Climate Change

01/15/2014 8:06 AM

Why Don't Climate Change Deniers Publish Papers?

One of the more telling statements in the post:

"Mind you, scientists are a contrary lot. If there were solid evidence that global warming didn't exist, or that CO2 emissions weren't the culprit, there would be papers in the journals about it. Lots of them."

And as is the case with most arguments driven by hysteria, the real truth lies somewhere between the points that both of you are trying, feebly to make.

The only point I was trying to make, is that Rutan has saved me a lot of time and effort.

Couple of mouse clicks, and I'm done.

Are you done because he represents a view shared by you, or does he present irrefutable, verifiable proof that supports your beliefs?

I was hoping no one would respond to this thread and it would die a quick death.

It won't be around long.

Nobody denies climate change.

Yawn. Another Global Warming altar boy does a feeble 'straw man' argument again. Seems like the AGW crowd is really getting desperate these days.

Can't we just kill this thread? It should have been in the 'Break Room'.

I only got to this part.

deniers have not really been able to come up with a coherent argument against a consensus.

con·sen·sus (kn-snss)n.1. An opinion or position reached by a group as a whole

I'm still working on, "why do some actually insist thinking the world is not flat."

in the overall formula that addressees why the earth heats and cools(in cycles that last several hundreds of years or more)mankind is indeed a factor but the semantical argument always comes down to just how significant. I refuse to join the "sky is falling!! camp". mankind is a factor and always will be, even after we leave this planet for another or cease to exist at all. but some of us logical thinking beings refuse to be held captive to junk science. by the way aren't you comforted in the knowledge that the ozone hole man was so responsible for(and was going to radiate us all to death) has actually returned to a smaller measurement and now we're all safe again?

C'mon Fredski!!!

All you have to do, is convince yourself that the sun's role is insignificant. It's easy.

Supports the theory that anyone with an agenda, and enough money can produce a study to forward their agenda.

So kramarat holds up his hand and says, "Talk to the Burt!", Usbport invokes the 'they're just using a strawman' , Fredski actually uses a strawman (Fredski, the earth has heated and cooled, it's just a LOT faster right now than it ever has been), and LongintheTooth says it's all about money. I thought I made my point in an earlier thread that money in green is pennies compared to the billions in oil. Green is a fad right now and people are blowing money on anything 'green', but no one person is making billions off of Global Warming.

So the consensus here is that even though we're barreling down the tracks toward sure disaster, we shouldn't do anything about it? Even Burt Rutan has an energy efficient house. Think he knows something we don't know?

Yes. Both Rutan and Bush realize that technology exists that allows them to minimize their carbon footprint, without finding ways to steal money from others.

Algore flies around the globe in a private jet, rides in limousines, builds mansions on both coasts, owns one of the biggest houseboats in the US, makes millions from his message of salvation, and is looking for ways to force the trading of carbon like stocks...with him on the ground floor.

I'll go ahead and say it. Al Gore is a greedy, hypocritical, manipulative, selfish, arrogant, lying slob, that is using the global warming agenda to increase his coffers. He's a pig.
