[Pajamas Media] But only if we really grasp what’s happening with the Global Horror Picture Show these days. The biggest danger to good science is that rational skeptics will continue to be outgunned by the fear peddlers: A big lie can go around the world before the truth can get its boots on.

[Bookworm Room] Bookworm Room » Oh, for a little cynicism *UPDATED*: Thus, we find quantifiable data (the earth seems warmer than it used to be, according to weather stations scattered across the world), we develop a hypothesis (climate change is occuring) and a mechanism by which it might be occuring (man-made CO2 induces a greenhouse effect) and then (this is the sine qua non) subject the hypothesis to testing in order to verify the hypothesis. With enough evidence, a hypothesis becomes a theory, which essentially means a hypothesis with lots and lots and lots of supporting data.
[Pajamas Media] Pajamas Media » The Sky Is Falling ” and Warming! Everybody Panic!: You also don’t seem to know that a ten year period beginning with a strong El Nino and ending with a La Nina will not reflect the underlying climate trend. Further, you state that the globe has cooled, but surface temperatures show a positive linear trend over the last ten years.
[toryleadership] toryleadership: How Cameron Won... And Davis Lost: Those bits of the Tory Party which believe in British independence, in Parliamentary democracy, in the liberty of the individual under the law behind secure frontiers, in marriage and the family, in people being selected on their own merits and not on sex or skin colour, in the prevention and punishment of crime, in rigorous education and in the rights of citizens to keep the fruits of their labours, may realise they have to shake themselves free.

He has been grossly exaggerating already exaggerated information from the IPCC Policymakers summary report. If he gets attacked on the facts in any public forum, he will be torn to pieces. Boxer knows this. So does everybody else with any real knowledge of the topic. ==> Conclusion: You don't have any real knowledge on this topic.
[Watts Up With That?] Weather Channel nixes “Forecast Earth”, including Cullen « Watts ...: Often, it is so politicized and those on both sides don’t always appear to have their facts straight. History has taught us that weather patterns are cyclical and although we have noticed a warming pattern in recent time, I don’t know what generalizations can be made from this with the lack of long-term scientific data.
[Global Warming] AccuWeather.com: Global Warming News, Science, Myths, Articles: If you cannot establish this in a compelling manner then YOU DO NOT HAVE A THEORY, YOU HAVE A SUPOSITION.The whole Premise behind the Catastrofic Epic as proposed by the proponents of AGW is based on the assumption that the planet will warm anywhere from 4 to 6 degrees Centigrade by the time that CO2 concentrations reach 560ppm in 2070. CO2 can ony account for ~1.5 degrees of that based on its known sensitivity of which ~0.6-0.8 degrees of that has already occured.
[Comments for RealClimate] RealClimate: This is the path we are on now, with roughly 40% of humanity in India and China VERY energy hungry and the US showing no sign of diminishing thirst for oil and othe cheap energy. To date, we have shown no more intelligence than a colony of yeast in fermenting grape juice.
[The Oil Drum - Discussions about Energy and Our Future] The Oil Drum | DrumBeat: October 12, 2007: Even if we only go back 100 years, that raises visions of Victorian London, far more violent than the current version, even though the capitalist elites had the proles outgunned. (Something the NRA never talks about.) However, the book "Gangs of New York" claimed that Philadelphia averaged about 3 murders a year then, and New York a hundred times more.
[Charlie's Diary] Charlie's Diary: No I'm not apologizing again ...: Interestingly enough, now that I have read up on the (still well contested) ruddiman hypothesis, it seems that he thought that human activity affects climate all the way through the last 8,000 years, with the latest effects being plagues killing off enough humans to reduce Co2 levels.
