Renewable energy is not only ready for the change, those who continue to say it can be done will be left behind.

Think you meant can't there.

Re: Is this hipocrsity

Like your standards of proof in your other faith, you set a very low bar for the proof in your religious belief that rejects AGW.

Such "proofs" rely on the viewer not knowing enough about science to be able to critically analyse the claims. None will stand up.

I am certainly not going to spend money supporting a denialist fool get rich. You choose just one argument that you think you understand and post it here. I will show you why it is wrong.

Fortunately, I know a scam when I see one and global warming is a SCAM!

OH...by the way, Global warming in not the name for it any more. They have changed it AGAIN to fit the data. Talk about moving the goal post.

Re: Is this hipocrsity

The PROJECTION was based on historical data and the outcome did not eventuate because circumstances changed from the historical reality.



Despite the mess of their old technology meaning they are coming from behind, China is investing heavily in renewable energy.

you know why they are investing heavily in renewable energy. They know they can make cheaper panels which will help the green people fulfill their dream. With our government throwing money left and right at renewable energy, China would be fools not to and believe me they are no fools.

That said, their main energy relies on Coal the very industry Obama is trying (to a great success ) shut down. And they coal plants do not have scrubbers.

Smoking mirrors is all it is.

Re: Is this hipocrsity

If you think nothing is changing take a look at this page. Renewable energy is not only ready for the change, those who continue to say it can be done will be left behind.

Every day we waste avoiding the change is a lost opportunity and a bigger problem for our grandchildren. You admit the change must come eventually, why not start now?

Otherwise for those who don't believe it, please invest your money buying up shares in the fossil fuel industries that you insist are the only future we have. This will help free up capital for progressive investors.

A liberal Left page for sure.

Oh, Ngas an alternative energy was at 40 cent per therm or however they measure it. when the cold spell hit the northeast gas rose by 1000% $40 to $400. Why a shortage yes, but caused by the shutdown of several refineries.

You in Europe had better not make Putin mad! he will shut your gas off. Oh, yeah I forgot, you have windmills and solar panels that can power anything you want. Being an electrician I doubt very seriously that the solar panels will ever do anything but support the main power. Nuclear, Water, Oil or Coal will remain for the next 50 -100 years.... By then science will have caught up with reality and invent something that will advance our society 10 fold. That something would be unlimited power which has to come from the atom.

It is all a scam because they want the power. they are always crying about the oil companies making so much money. It simple they don't want a piece of the pie, the liberal left in this country want the whole pie.

So you say but you have not posted a single piece of evidence to back your claim. Nor has anyone else on this site in any thread. Not one. You won't because you know that it would be demolished by facts and you prefer to preserve your illusions.

OH...by the way, Global warming in not the name for it any more. They have changed it AGAIN to fit the data. Talk about moving the goal post.

Climate Change is just another name for it. The idea was to discourage those who think unusual cold snaps would be evidence against. In fact the prolonged cold snaps we have seen are due to the slowing of the Jet Stream, causing it to meander down to low latitudes just as the models show.

BTW Sydney, Australia has just had the longest run of May temperatures above 22 degrees (~72F) on record. Nineteen days in a row, over two times the previous record of nine.

We are two days from winter here and I am sitting by an open window at 9 PM wearing a single layer of clothing.

Re: Is this hipocrsity

The fact you won't except evidence such as gravitational effects doesn't nullify facts.

Simply vaguely pointing out "gravitational effects" does not constitute evidence. The mechanisms involved need to be elucidated. No such mechanisms have been found that would explain what we are measuring.

Moreover the effects you are referring to are already included in the models. Far from being overlooked as many denialists presume, the models would not be useful without them being included as they would not be able to match the history of climate as found in the geological record.

If you understood what you were talking about you would know that.

Gravitational effects and the effects of angular momentum manifest as variations in the eccentricity of the orbit of of the Earth and the tilt of its axis relative to the ecliptic.

The most important long cycles are the Milankovich Cycles. These ultimately trigger the glaciation cycles the planet has been experiencing for many millions of years.

Such effects cause changes over astronomical time scales. There is nothing that is even remotely likely to cause such temperature rises as we are experiencing in just a few decades.

As I said. Name any evidence you like and I will demolish it, which I have just done in this case. Next please.

I know this is not scientific evidence, but it has served me well all the long years I have lived. 99% of the people on this forum are not climate scientist. It wouldn’t surprise me if we did have one, however, as I have witness some pretty smart people here. That of course means that each side is listening to others of either verbal or written reports. Look on both sides and see who is for it and against. Follow the money. Both side in this greeny debate stands to profit. Both sides have political agendas. Look at accountability. Look at reputations. I look at somebody like Harry Ried, Nancy Pelosi. She is for it, and has to be the stupidest person I have ever heard speak in congress. .Obama is for it. Everything he says is s lie. Why would I trust what he says on green not to be a lie. I don’t have time to research their names, but some of the reports of some scientist withhold facts from other scientist, hide emails etc. If you are a true scientist you want your data to be expose to the ultimate scrutiny. Look at some of the photos that have been truly expose as fakes. If you case is solid why try to deceive by having a scientist who has nothing to do with the subject at hand. Once it is found out it weakens your case. Not scientific but surely as the crows fly, birds of a feather flock together.

Interesting. Dick sees it as a matter of reputation. Bladerunner posts what he thinks is "evidence" as links that try to discredit the reputation of those who disagree with his position.

I guess this is not so surprising from people who subscribe to Christianity, one of the ultimate personality cults of all time. It is all about uncritical acceptance of opinion based on reputation.

Science is very different. Hypotheses stand alone, regardless of who presents them. If the hypothesis fits the facts then it gains reputation. If it suggests further tests whose outcomes are not already known and continues to fit in every case it ultimately becomes a theory.

Theories like General Relativity are spectacular. Relativity redefined fundamental measurement system and overturned the way we think about Space and Time itself. New measurements could not be interpreted in any way except to confirm its validity.

Climate Change has a much harder time. It didn't overturn anything but dealt with long term patterns in an extremely complex system.

The expected patterns have not always immediately emerged so the equivalent indisputable ah-ha moment like measuring the detail of the orbit of Mercury in Relativity are not available for climate change theory.

Instead scientists had to look deeper and deeper as to why temperature measurements did not immediately match those projected by models. However in every case to date, additional mechanisms have been brought to light by further research that explained the observed discrepancies.

Denialists seize upon this process as merely fudging the figure and assume they are just included to fit what biased scientists want to see. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Any new mechanism must endure rigorous investigation and their inclusion must help the models better match the recorded history.

The most recent major refinement to the models was the effect of particular Pacific equatorial current cycles which have been shown to be currently increasing the absorption of heat into the ocean. This understanding successfully explained why atmospheric temperatures had not recently risen as fast as models had projected.

As such cyclic mechanisms become better understood and computer processing power continues to increase the climate models continue to more and more closely match not only the measurement history but the ability to project the detail of the future.

Throughout this refinement process, one insurmountable fact remains. Increasing the atmospheric CO2 means more heat is retained by the planet. This is inevitably going to increase the temperature. The rest is just the detail of exactly how fast that will happen and who will suffer the most.

Unless we stop running or technology on combustion the temperature will rise. The sooner we accept this the sooner we will act and the less it will cost to solve the problems it creates.

Dick is correct. Science has been and continues to be debased by politics and religion. Currently, we are in such a period where the "cause-of-the-day" is global warming. One can only hope that continued scientific investigation over a suitable period of time (that washes out the political and religious overtones) will allow the real science to emerge.

Fortunately, I know a scam when I see one and global warming is a SCAM! ... OH...by the way, Global warming in not the name for it any more. They have changed it AGAIN to fit the data. Talk about moving the goal post.

Those "selling" global warming, as I have previously expressed, are not being honest with the public. Specifically by only focusing on managing CO2 emissions as the simplistic public sound byte "magic wand" solution. Environmental solutions, without repeating myself, will require many different management actions.

I know this will blow your mind and think I have completely lost mine, but most of what you said fortifies what I believe, and that is fine but you will have to stand in line to declare me a fruit cake. There's a bunch of people in my church ahead of you. If you have done all or most of the research on your own, I take my hat off to you. I do not know you personally or anything about you so the information you would offer is little value to me. If not, however, than you like most on this thread/forum are evaluating what others have research. I don't have the time, ability, or interest to do a analysis of all that is available from both sides. The people that I respect that have a better ability (brains) than I have all debunk global (anything you want to call it). Every single one. Not just a few, every single one. In and our of the ministry. In and out of the media. Every single one that favors global etal. that I know anything about I disdain. They show me no sign of intelligence. Not don't take this personally, I don't know anything about you, so I can't possible disdain you. I know this is not scientific, but it is all I have to work with, but it works for me. Many, many times in my life, in many difference areas. I was in business for myself, I was in politic, in my college life, teaching school, my 22 years of military, almost every time I had doubts about a person, they usually were wrong (later proven) with their position on many areas. Global anything for us is in the same area as the other thread of atheism. None of us will be around to say ah ha, I was right. I also put some trust in something I learned in the first grade. It's called, "The sky is falling, the sky is falling".

Re: Is this hipocrsity

I really wish you would address the answers instead of prophesizing doom.

I did address your claim about global warming being due to "gravitational effects". You don't want to talk about that now because you have been proved wrong. An honest debater would acknowledge that fact.

Please offer some actual evidence that supports your case.

I know you have stated we need to reduce CO2 emissions that much we know. We also know you want to give a pass to the countries you feel need to continue to spew CO2.

In countries like India and Pakistan they have the technology to possess the Bomb will they get a pollution pass in your utopia?

I don't want to give a pass to anyone. Moreover you are misrepresenting the situation by pretending that it is the developing world that are the biggest culprits. Well wake up. The people of the USA are still by far the largest contributors.

Does Al Gore get a pass? He will need a pollution pass if he is to maintain that fleet of SUV's he owns. Maybe he will receive another Nobel Peace Prize for cutting down old growth redwoods to build sun decks in his front yard.

Again you attack the personality rather than the issue. Al Gore is a hypocrite and I have no respect for him. It doesn't mean that the issues he is raising are wrong.

I would like to know what are we going to do about aircraft. 1700 jets take off / land here at LAX daily do you care? does it matter?

Just because some parts of the problem are more difficult it does mean we cannot address any of it.

Aircraft manufacturers have invested a fortune in improving efficiency. Both Boeing and Airbus are working on electric plane technologies using fuel cells to further increase efficiency. Yes it is early days but they see it as important.

What about trains? Should we put solar panels on top of airplanes and trains?

Trains are easily electrified. Many lines already are. Feed the grid with solar energy. (You didn't chose a difficult one there did you.)

Like most alarmist you have ample doom and gloom statics, but fall short on real life solutions.

Rubbish. It is you who has offered nothing of substance while you parrot the "can't be done" propaganda fed to you by fossil fuel proponents. Meanwhile others get on with the job of doing it.

Re: Is this hipocrsity

I have to give credit where credit is due. That's a good come back.
However what I mean is not just what people say about GW. For an example Nancy P. says we have to pass this bill to see what's in it. That has to be the most ignorant thing I have ever heard from any politician. Granted you can't evaluate her on one statement, but with her it's every time she opens her mouth. Why would I believe what she has to say on GW. As I see it 99% of the people on this thread are believing and analyzing the information that is coming from someone else, so if that's the case it boils down to who you believe, who has creditability. Not just me, but all of us.
BTW Your come back gave me a good chuckle, and I do not consider you my enemy. You see when people get nasty it is usually because of emotions. I try never to let emotions guide my lips. Of course I am not perfect, after all I am a husband.

One can only hope that continued scientific investigation over a suitable period of time (that washes out the political and religious overtones) will allow the real science to emerge.

The real science is already here. It shows that global warming is real and that it is being caused by humans vastly increasing the CO2 in the atmosphere.

Politics is certainly getting in the way by pretending the truth is not already resolved. Unfortunately people like you will only accept what you want hear regardless of the evidence.

Those "selling" global warming, as I have previously expressed, are not being honest with the public. Specifically by only focusing on managing CO2 emissions as the simplistic public sound byte "magic wand" solution.
