Do you still believe in man-made Global Warming catastrophic predictions?
- Phil Jones, the man whose data is a primary source of the global warming "hockey stick" model inputs, now says that he can’t find his data, and that the globe may have been warming for the past 15 years. He is a cheat, and he is a global warming guru upon whom all other "consensus" scientists depend. .
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1250872/Climategate-U-turn-Astonishment-scientist-centre-global-warming-email-row-admits-data-organised.html
- Democrats in Congress, again and again, said that the lack of snow in DC was proof of global warming. Now many say that climate change is responsible for the extreme changes.
http://www.notoriouslyconservative.com/2010/02/no-snow-global-warming-but-lots-of-snow.html
- Michael Mann advises his colleagues to delete emails that tend to refute their claims. He is a cheat, and he is a global warming guru upon whom all other "consensus" scientists depend.

- the IPCC has to recant claims about shrinking glaciers in the Himalayas

- polar bear populations have been increasing exponentially

- Far more extreme hurricanes were occurring in the 1920s and 1930s than today

- Al Gore got a D in natural science at Harvard. He was also a poor student in chemistry and physics, and he is a global warming guru upon whom all other "consensus" scientists depend. .

- Many quote the "consensus" among scientists, but consensus is not science, it is a vote. Science is reproducible results, and global warming predictions are subject to incredible scrutiny and refutations that cannot be responded to with data or analysis. Most global warming believers are not willing to admit that man-made global warming is a hypothesis that has not been proven anywhere.
Do you still believe in man-made Global Warming catastrophic predictions?
"g", I look forward to reading your study results…because up until now you have been depending upon Phil Jones, Michael Mann, Al Gore, and the IPCC. And they are all subject to great scrutiny and can’t answer the criticisms. So publish your study, otherwise you have no claim here.
Rico, by what data and analysis can you state that man-made CO2 is causing any impact at all?
"blue", I look forward to reading your study results…because up until now you have been depending upon Phil Jones, Michael Mann, Al Gore, and the IPCC. And they are all subject to great scrutiny and can’t answer the criticisms. So publish your study, otherwise you have no claim here.
"stay thirsty", I worry about you and your ilk, because you don’t understand Jones, Mann, Gore, and the IPCC, yet you are the Chicken Little who cries that we must "do something."
Enjoying life "Dee?" I hope we don’t have to read about you in a future version of Darwin Awards..
The wheels are coming of the MGW cart! IPCC Director Phil Jones said this weekend:
* Data for vital ‘hockey stick graph’ has gone missing
* There has been no global warming since 1995
* Warming periods have happened before – but NOT due to man-made changes
