That's because there is a concerted propaganda campaign being waged by the fossil fuel industry to confuse the public about the reality and dangers of anthropogenic global warming/climate changes in order to delay any effective governmental action to restrict or tax carbon emissions and thus reduce their profit stream. You are an apparent dupe of this propaganda campaign and so you spread misinformation and nonsense on this very important topic. Maybe people wouldn't get so "wound up" with you if you'd get your head out of your ass and actually look at the evidence rather than just parroting debunked propaganda memes and denier cult myths. That seems like a very idiotic point of view. AGW is a major threat to our civilization and our biosphere and ecology. It is not something that can be ignored. Knowing that the warming is being caused by the gigatons of fossil carbon that mankind is pumping into the atmosphere every year allow for the possibility of reducing carbon emissions and mitigating the long term effects. A real 'skeptic' has valid reasons and evidence for being skeptical. You don't so I would have to label you a denier, not a skeptic. The question would be just why do you 'believe' that? Do you just ignore the scientific testimony and evidence? Scientific opinion on climate change No, you poor dupe, that's just another denier cult myth. Climate models may not be perfect but they have gotten very sophisticated and robust and have been repeatedly verified by modeling past climates and forecasting the last few decades of actual climate changes. The greenhouse gas effect is actually pretty simple and fairly straightforward. We've increased CO2 levels by about 40% in the last two centuries and that is having a very significant effect on the Earth's climate.
So you're saying that you really have no idea what the point is that is being made so you just throw in a pointless non-sequitur. LOL. "The world's covered with people", nine billion of 'em, mostly living within 50 miles of the coastline and with agricultural resources that are very dependent on regular climate patterns. Rising temperatures and sea levels will play havoc with food supplies for billions of people who are just barely avoiding starvation now.
What basics. Like burn oil, make C02, trap light from sun, make heat. There are no basics, it's a highly complex area of research. Basics like, apple fall from tree, hit ground. That's how gravity works, it pulls things down. Here's another one. The sun goes round the earth therefore the earth is the centre of the universe. End of story. No need for further investigation. Case closed.
Of course there are basics. You can take a climatology course in most colleges and universities where you will learn about it. I'll even offer for you to borrow my own climatology notes from when I studied it if you are interested, but I doubt you are. It's not a complex subject. The media would like you to think it is.
LOLOLOLOL....dude, you are really a loon. You list your age as 38 so you would have been about 12 in 1984. That's when you learned all about climate science??? Learned so much in fact that you are now qualified to critique and dismiss the work of the PhD climate scientists who've been studying this for decades??? LOLOLOLOLOL....a real loon. You obviously have no idea what you're talking about.
Shut up, gonad. The idea that they are right and there is no further need for discussion or research.
Well if you think the idea that they're right is not correct, you must think something in particular is wrong. Perhaps you could point out what that something is from the IPCC report: http://www.ipcc.ch/publications_and_data/ar4/wg1/en/ts.html New research and discussion is happening all the time.
Yeah, I figured that would eventually be your response to anyone who points out how idiotic and misinformed your posts are. LOLOLOL. And your response to Walsh's posts is very telling. You claim that climate science is sooooo complex that nobody really understands what is going on but that only reflects your own ignorance. You claim that the scientific research that has been done very intensively for the last four decades is not correct but when challenged to point out what exactly is not correct, all you can come up with is: " The idea that they are right and there is no further need for discussion or research." LOL. You really seem retarded, dude. All of the evidence that has been gathered supports the conclusions the scientists have reached about what is happening to the Earth's climate patterns and what is causing it, so they probably are "right". You certainly seem unable to intelligently refute any part of the consensus position of the world scientific community. No one has claimed that there is "no further need for discussion or research". Very intense and thorough scientific research on global warming/climate change continues worldwide and the discussion among climate scientists in the pages of the science journals continues unabated. There is no problem with the science. The conclusions of the climate scientists are well supported by literally mountains of evidence. The problem is that ignorant trolls like you, McClod, are playing the "useful idiots" role as the foot soldiers for the fossil fuel industry's propaganda campaign to preserve their trillion dollars a year profit flow that they make from selling the fossil fuels that are killing the planet.
@ghonadz: what do you think about alternatives like nuclear power, solar energy, water energy, green energy, wasting less energy?
It's not me who keeps buying their petrol. I ride a bike, like I already told you. Makes fuck all difference what I say or think. Save you lecture for car owners.
My opinion: oil, coal and uranium are limited and will be no solution, rests only biological energy but we have to stop wasting energy. This turbo capitalism makes people sick so thats no solution either. We have to live in better harmony with this planet I think.
Wasting less energy would be very helpful overall and would be a very good start. We need to and can satisfy our civilization's energy needs from renewable sources that won't run dry or be constantly increasing in price or have availability dependent on regional strife. That means solar, wind, hydro, geothermal and ocean (waves, tides and currents) energy. Nuclear power sources as a solution to the world's energy needs have many serious problems, like the safety and long term storage of large amounts of nuclear waste that remains deadly for millennia, nuclear weapons proliferation, and the terrorism threat to the nuclear power plants. Moreover, the whole nuclear industry is dependent on a limited, non-renewable resource, uranium, that is difficult to mine and refine and that will soon be mostly only available from foreign sources, just like most of our oil supplies are now. Three-mile Island, Chernobyl, and now Fukushima demonstrate the constant uncertainty and extreme dangers of operating nuclear power plants. Even if they run smoothly for decades, they always remain a huge disaster just waiting to happen. Whether it is human error or cascading natural disasters, these plants can go horribly wrong and devastate large areas of land and kill large numbers of people, either directly or slowly from the long term effects of radiation exposure.
As long as you continue to post misinformation and lies in the service of the fossil fuel industry, I will continue to refute you and "lecture" you, you poor deluded, duped and bamboozled denier cult troll.
Is it environmentally friendly to efficiently in systematic fashion use windshield washer fluid for the chemical difference of perceiving it being sustained in the development of the eventual demise of the oil industry?:devil:
