Climate change - sceptics versus deniers

[lefthandpalm] Sooner or later in any debate (sic) on climate change, something odd happens. Rather than actually talking about science and facts and stuff that might actually win them the argument (there is a reason for this lack, but we'll come to that later), the anti-anthropogenic global warming climate change start bemoaning the fact they get called mean things like 'deniers' for expressing scepticism about the 'new religion' of 'St Al Gore.' They complain that being called 'deniers' rather than sceptics is demeaning, as it is suggestive of Holocaust deniers like David Irving and his repulsive ilk.

Study finds no solar link to climate change

[Futurismic] But until I see evidence that the rest of the world had similar increased temperatures, this change in data is of little use to climate models. It could well be that at the time of this US rise, the temperatures elsewhere were largely down.

British climate change denialism (3)

[lunartalks] So what? A ten-year interval means nothing in statistical terms, except that it’s a convenient period where the data fits AGW deniers ideas, in fact it’s their current poster child. El Nino causes a temporary warming in world temperatures, La Nina depresses. If on average a weak El Nino causes little warming (the last one was piddly), and as has happened this year a prolonged La Nina depresses it, that says nothing to the causes of climate change. These phenomena are, as the report’s author said in a bit not reported Mr Dale’s Diary (excellent on politics, C3 on climate science) ‘variability’. If I may be allowed a bit of bold-rage of my own:

344. POINTLESS "SOLUTIONS" FOR GLOBAL WARMING

[Peak Oil Debunked] Due to the dominant role of coal, solution to global warming must include phase-out of coal except for uses where the CO2 is captured and sequestered. Failing that, we cannot avoid large climate change, because a substantial fraction of the emitted CO2 will stay in the air more than 1000 years.
