IMMensaMind 459 Posted January 23, 2018 Most of the people that I know that don't recycle and throw all their ###### in the trash and drive gas guzzlers are liberals who support climate change. Some of the worst hypocrites you would ever see. But, it goes with the liberal ideology: Do as I say, not as I do. We want YOU to sacrifice for climate change, not us. They know the real purpose: taxation and control. They don't give one sht about an environment that they truly believe isn't affected in the way that they preach.

RaiderHaters Revenge 3,578 Posted January 23, 2018 Both sides are subject to bias and corruption. If its a topic I dont fully understand, I tend to err in believing the most preeminent scientists in the field, those with the most peer-reviewed publications. I aint talking about Gore or Nye. Who are the most reputable scientists, and are they a part of the dissenting 40% ...and while youre at it, can you send a link where that number came from? you asked me what my opinion is on what % do I think Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The proportion of papers found in the ISI Web of Science database that explicitly endorsed anthropogenic climate change has fallen from 75% (for the period between 1993 and 2003) as of 2004 to 45% from 2004 to 2008, while outright disagreement has risen from 0% to 6% (Oreskes, 2004; Schulte, 2008). This drop in endorsement may be a manifestation of increasing taken-for-grantedness (e.g., Green, 2004) of anthropogenic climate science; the rise in disagreement may be a result of increased funding of sceptics by fossil fuel industries, conservative foundations and think tanks (McCright & Dunlap, 2010). Yet, apart from discussions among scientists, public concern over climate change is also waning in the US (Leiserowitz, Maibach & Roser-Renouf, 2008, 2010; Maibach, Leiserowitz, Roser-Renouf, & Mertz, 2011; Pew Research Center, 2009), the UK (Jowit, 2010), and Canada (Berry, Clarke, Pajot, Hutton, & Verret, 2009).

And Id trust government funding more than private/corporate grants. Either way, no one is saying the science is infallible - by design, hypotheses are meant to be tested and revised to reflect the data.

wiffleball 4,639 Posted January 23, 2018 God, I'm so sick of this . We get it, every time there's a weather event that's involving the cold, some idiots going to chime in about global warming. Jesus, if the people who believe in climate change posted nearly as much as the people who feel the need to spout off with thank you global warming! The board would be nothing but that. Never understood what the point is. Because, no matter what you believe, at the end of the day, put me in the camp that would rather have, ceteris parabis, solar energy than Coal Power. We know for a fact that man can change the immediate environment for both good and bad. Frick, most of the Northeast is in far better shape now than it was a hundred years ago. Chalk that up to man. Why was it in such bad shape in the first place? Chalk that up to man. As to measuring Hundred Year swings and a half inch here and there in Ocean levels? I don't know and I don't care. But again, most of the things that I've seen proposed to help the environment just seem like a good fuucking idea. - as opposed to 200 year old coal technology for example.

I notice you want nothing to do with the 1300+ peer reviewed papers, nor the quote from the sage journals Probably best to go to the IPCC if you really want to scrutinize the data: http://www.ipcc.ch/publications_and_data/publications_and_data_reports.shtml ETA I like that Prager U video (not a fan of a conservative site posing as an institution of higher learning though). Pretty reasonable explanation, though he goes a little overboard after the 4 minute mark. I agree with much of what he says. If you do as well, the only thing we likely disagree about is the relative number of scientists in groups 1 & 2. I also feel like a lot of your "data" is derived from group 3, whom I think are irrelevant in this discussion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baker Boy 1,484 Posted January 23, 2018 Worst Deal In History: $1.5 Trillion A Year To Reduce Global Warming By 0.048°C Even if every nation in the world adheres to its climate change commitments by 2030 the only difference it will make to “global warming” by the end of this century will be to reduce the world’s temperatures by 0.048°C (0.086°F). That’s 1/20th of a degree C. Earlier this year, Climate Change Business Journal calculated that the annual cost of the global warming industry is $1.5 trillion. http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/11/10/cost-climate-change-1-5-trillion-year-reduce-global-warming-0-048c/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I purposefully shed this part off my portfolio from day one. It is the most cockamamie math and taxes scheme on the planet. And it is literally why this refinery is going bankrupt. Alternatively, it was so easy to game the system. We actually caught some jackass who just claimed to have a refinery and just wanted a paper trail so he could apply for various tax benefits and flat-out cash grants. The Rins thing just paperwork wise is retarded. If you want a legitimate beef against something, this is what you want to beef with. Google renewable energy standards credits. Personally, whenever they start talking about Carbon taxes or this or anything else involving cash in lieu of environmental responsibility I know it's a scam. But to dismiss any and all reporting about climate change because of crap like this is really dumb.
