Inspector Morse author Colin Dexter is urging people to sign up to take part in the Hearts First Blenheim 10k Bolt. The race which takes place at Blenheim Palace on Sunday is in aid of the British Heart Foundation. Mr Dexter said: "Heart disease can affect everyone. Sadly every two minutes someone in the UK has a heart attack and there are more than 2.6 million people now living with coronary heart disease- a long-term condition. "We need as many people as possible to join in this fun event. You don't have to be super fit to take part you can walk it jog it or crawl it so long as you do it. "You'll be doing your own heart a favour while helping the British Heart Foundation to keep vulnerable hearts beating across Oxfordshire." Registering in advance costs £8 for adults. £5 for under 16s and £25 for a family.

"500 objections to global warming theory" posted by ~Ray

2) During that time the Arctic ice sheet has retreated several times – a wide range of paeleological evidence shows that as recently as 4,000 years ago the summer sheet ice cover was significantly less than present – with the NW Passage open most years. 4) The habitat along the North American littoral has not changed materially since 4,000 BP – human settlement is not a noted barrier to the range of the Polar feature. I didn’t see Channel 9’s Morning Program but I assume they explained why the Polar Bear will be unable to adapt this time. If not perhaps you might decide a more reliable source of information. Well actually. (from the NYC Department of City Planning)“.. At 2,200 acres - almost three times the size of Central Park - New York’s Fresh Kills Park will be one of the most ambitious public works projects in the world combining express of the art ecological restoration techniques with extraordinary settings for recreation public art and facilities for many sports and programs that are unusual in the city. While nearly forty-five percent of the site was once used for landfilling operations the remainder of the place is currently composed of wetlands open waterways and unfilled lowland areas...”What was your point again? For my mind it appears there is a quite a few leaps of faith on both sides of the scientific debate. Singer (and Avery) surely have their opponents? Can anyone replicate Singer’s results? I don’t see how they can when each data sets would each need to validated and reflected in other studies. Hell. PaulyG no-one has been able to independently validate the surface temperature dataset that forms the basis for the claim of substantial warming and whose graph has a similarity to the carbon dioxide graph (if you ignore the 20 year shift). Why has the surface temperature never been independently audited? Because the three organisations won’t allow this to happen. Britain’s CRU even says that it doesn’t know which observation stations provided the data it used to calculate the temperatures in each month of each year back to 1850. By the way the CRU data makes it clear that the global coverage has varied over time and even now it varies throughout the year meaning that the number of observation stations that supply the data is always changing. I do not argue the perfection of GW science. Accepted is your point on the veracity of the data-sets however and as I said the jury is still out. Admittedly. I find it difficult to accept the Singer report indicating a + or - variance of 500 years on the global climate cycle which amounts to bracket of 1000 years or over 60% of the average cycle of global climate (1470 years he stated). Can anyone enlighten me on this? Dazza like I said the jury is still out on the scientific debate. In fact it appears the skeptics are asking for a re-trial. Perhaps they ordain be right. As for ‘Big Oil’ or ‘Big Mining’ or even ‘Big Nuke’ for that matter - there is much vested arouse in the result of the science either way. (Noted is Andrew Bolt’s comments about bigbuck clean-green investments and large appearance fees for the Gore/Flannerys of the global warming camp). However the aim of complete debunking of all things/efforts Green is very rather irresponsible rest point of many in the far right. How can we look into our kids faces and leave them a world irreversibly damaged by environmental destruction? As for using the denialist term. Okay you got me. Perhaps that label is overtly offensive and too provocative to garner respect from those in the other camp. Hence forth. I shall accept to limit the use of the term particularly in this blog. But as for the term ‘Tories’ (not Torries) that is a historical call used thru out history of conservative politics to have in mind to conservatives. PaulyG (09:41am) you previously mentioned the ‘moving of goal posts’ you do dislike however ‘goal posts’ perhaps have ‘appeared’ .. and are needing shown Process capable of UNNATURAL alteration to Climate. Perhaps you KNOW the ‘climate Platformer’ cannot make that goal. You are a politik-nic PaulyG your effort to even make scientific ‘sounds’ are only attempt to support a ‘political belief’ platform. It is no coincidence that your previous efforts are to partition ‘climate discussion’ on some Political basis whilst you try to label others as ‘skeptics’ .. but then with your ‘Political basis’. You undergo still not rendered reply to outstanding requests for YOU to depict a valid Process CAPABLE of UNNATURAL ‘warming’ some ability of UNNATURAL alteration to Climate! acquire that change magnitude (in frequency) IS as relevant as Increases when is noticed Global Weather Events this relevant to the ACTUAL study of Climate. No Climate Process has even been defined! This whilst there is negligible alteration in ‘Temperature’ anyway. So what is there actually happening to cause any concern of Climate which will always change anyway? Not much really! If there WAS something of such SUPPOSED (UNNATURAL) ‘rapid climate change’ it WOULD be more obvious by way of observation NOW however. After all the previous ‘earnest discussions’ have taken ~30 years so far and increasingly obviously are Human-centric measure Frames able to show non-primary (to Climate Process) fluctuations of ‘Turbulent affect’ Warming (and Cooling) periods only. With another ~30 years (perhaps) of discussions to come there seems perceived in that ATTITUDE of those Discussions little ‘wrong’ with Climate itself. So use the word UNNATURAL PaulyG as your avoidence of that word sees you persistently deceptive and so ‘disingenuous’ in your ‘words and effort’. Climate changes NATURALLY PaulyG.. live with it and not displease against it! Pauly. I am not a denier of Global Warming. I just don’t accept man is the major cause. I am willing to listen to scientist and other people who are concerned about the future of the earth unfortunately the people pushing global warming the most are people like Al Gore who go on about how evil we are but continue to be the worst polluters. Good Scientists should be people who put the studies out for others to see but then be willing to evaluate critism in their studies and not attack people who don’t agree with them. P. S. I think you are starting to soften a bit. Peter K - I anticipate by your use of the ‘nik’ suffix you are referring to some socialist leaning. Guilty as charged. Political? Absolutely. But still no apology for it. However I do apologise for not making good reply to your identifying a valid climate process but not for lack of me trying you are a hard man to gratify. I could quibble & gripe about you not answering my questions properly either (like your lay on Intelligent Design) but it would be futile as I am actually the one trying catch up with your science you know see things from your perspective. I came in here with what I have learnt up til that date. Now I have more that I have learnt. Peter you have contributed to that. But is it just me being stupid or are you not getting your point across so well? But again for the sake of your argument and environmental concern what possibly would it take alter global climate? It seems to as if you have a deep belief that nothing could threaten life on earth at all. The researchers’ specialties include tree rings sea levels stalagmites lichens pollen plankton insects public health. Chinese history and astrophysics.“We have had a Greenhouse Theory with no evidence to support it-except a moderate warming turned into a scare by computer models whose results have never been verified with real-world events,” said co-author Singer. “On the other transfer we undergo compelling evidence of a real-world climate cycle averaging 1470 years (plus or minus 500) running through the last million years of history. The climate cycle has above all been moderate and the trees bears birds and humans have quietly adapted.” The replication of data results is an important part in validation of research. This ‘study’ is a review of peer ‘mostly’ peer reviewed studies. It is not detailed definitive research. With such a huge + or - (macro) variance in the climate cycle broad bracket results could tell an abhorrent result from data compounds even up from the micro level of the base research. Singer did not go approve and replicate data set results. That would be true replication of research which I am sure would back up with the story ‘cutting thru’. If replication was achieved then who knows maybe you will see the lucky pioneering skeptic maybe Singer him/herself on the nightly news with you proudly by his side. Why? Accepted there are leaps of faith in GW theory & a lack of science in the media. That’s why I bother to get across the topic at all. I want to understand it better before I demonstrate either way. Fair enough? Mick. ‘soft’? Probably guilty there. But maybe I have multiple personalities there too. Look at me I am talking with people who are wondering if I am crazy! Maybe I’m bipolar. Quack Quack. PaulyG (03:32. 04:04 pm) You have as yet made no discursive effort but ‘waffled’ to avoid notice that there is no ‘AGW’ presented. There is no UNNATURAL process presented that CAN exist and create ‘warming’ let alone UNNATURAL change to Climate. There is no relevance to ‘data sets’ you mention made only to sound ‘scientific’ whilst as cannot be produced RELEVANCE of those measurements. If you would mention ‘AGW’ PaulyG you must outline WHAT it is and if you would demand ‘risks’ are to be ‘managed’ you need to depict a PROCESS to take challenge against. You be to accept that Climate does change and it will dress. At any indications of change FEAR will prevail you not. You only express then FEAR also of UNNATURAL change that is NOT shown in either Observation or potential Process whilst still avoiding the evince UNNATURAL in relation to ALL and ANY mention you made of ‘AGW’. This is deliberate and is an effort to be deliberately deceptive then and still. Your past ‘questions’ where only to distract discussion and not made in any honest manner near all totally unrelated to any topical point.. the reason you ‘made mention’ thus. Your past behaviours remove any credence of you demand (no matter how made) to consider you attitude and effort to be anything other than it is a disassociated Political based effort of ‘platform protection’. Thus you will continue to quibble no matter what reply is made PaulyG so just begin to outline these SUPPOSED ‘processes’ you FEAR and lets see how real such CAN be.. which is what you try to avoid doing. I apparently will never qualify in your eyes as one worthy of a clear & simple explanation. But really I do want to be able to understand. But you’re not good teacher of your science or salesperson of your point of view. If nothing else my tenacity in argument with yourself shows that if you were able to convince me to becoming a skeptic myself then how many others would I spread this point of believe too? PaulyG (11:22am) then all you can is be seen ‘saying’ and that such (UNNATURAL) ‘climate change’ as you FEAR is expressed as both ‘warming and cooling’? Notice also that ‘mention’ of ‘holocaust’ of any style only show your Fear associations the scavenging of ‘far flung’ scenarios the depth of your ‘fear’ associations. The LACK of direct and TOPICALLY RELEVANT outline shows the lack of any so being existent. All such behavior DOES render your effort to sound ‘scientific’ rather inane. You also try to keep sight on unrelated situations whilst mentioning (persistently) some SUPPOSED ‘AGW’ process which is what then? You begin to look desire a victim of ‘climate propaganda’ .. doubly so after you nominated that Mr Flannery might obtain ‘sainthood’! You are a politik-nic PaulyG try to protect a Political Platform that presents itself as being able to ‘battle what which you Fear’ (perhaps) but it is the ‘thats and whats’ which you seem unable to detail. Andrew the crazy thing is about you. EVEN if there is no such thing as global warming why would you constantly argue against a set of ideas and principles that are aimed at reducing the impact of humans on our planet? The bottom line is that the ideas in favour of reducing global warming (whether GW exists or not) basically favour a sustainable future. But you argue against this. You are a bitter and black hearted exponent of your Liberal masters. Hypothetically. (to use a fiscal analogy) if you have to pay a bill you don’t go and pay + or - over 30%. If anything is uncertain about the projected cost of such a bill then it would prudent to allow for more in the budget than less? No-one has said they are against “reducing the impact of humans on our planet”. What people are against is one cause (AGW) being used to push an ideological goal with no demonstrated (non theoretical and not based on computer models) scientific backing. Your arguement here is the same as that used by AGW believers when upon being faced with unfavourable science reply by saying that they were trying to stop pollution... If that is your aim then make it clear don’t hide behind something else. Who knows... Maybe some AGW believers don’t care about “pollution” as they can’t make money from stopping it (carbon credits from own company) and some skeptics may be in favour of cutting approve on pollution but only when they KNOW what is being pushed for and why. The bottom line is that the ideas in favour of reducing global warming (whether GW exists or not) basically favour a sustainable future. If GW does not exist (as you are willing to admit is a possibility) how can you prove that not making changes ordain NOT “favour a sustainable future”. Isn’t it equally likely that by stopping activities disliked by AGW followers we are more likely to be working towards an UNsubstainable future? (particularly if/when AGW is proven to not exist in any measureable way) If there WAS something of such SUPPOSED (UNNATURAL) ‘rapid climate change’ it WOULD be more obvious by way of observation NOW. After all those previous ‘earnest discussions’ have taken ~30 years so far and increasingly obviously are Human-centric Time Frames able to show non-primary (to Climate Process) fluctuations of ‘Turbulent Process’ Warming (and Cooling) periods only. No Climate Process has even been accurately defined very few ACTUAL Processes are change surface mentioned.. just ‘repairs’ Al Keeda. But WHAT are these SUPPOSED ‘repairs’ then to be made upon Al Keeda? PaulyG (10:20am) again you try to notice some POLITICAL division and allude that your ‘attitude’ is somehow ‘environmentalism’! Define a valid UNNATURAL Process able to alter Climate. Notice that it is MEASURES that you notice in your analogy and such ARE of undefined Processes in the discussion of Climate. There is then NO POINT in valid SCIENCE to citing those measures as relevant even. As mentioned previously even ‘hypotheticals’ to be of relevance to a System. MUST have some defined ATTACHMENT to that System as otherwise even ‘statistics’ (and Statistical Process) are of little valid ‘use’. You are a ‘politik-nic’ PaulyG and your ‘goal posts’ require an UNNATURAL process to BE defined.. not just alluded to (indirectly even). You should not attempt to adopt ‘an attitude of a scrutineer’ PaulyG as it is NOT by ‘attitude’ that such works are done. Firstly why would we necessarily want to reduce the impact of humans on our planet as an end in its own right? Surely the planet is there for our benefit not the other way around (unless of course there are other creatures on this planet who have the capacity to reason)? Many of the changes that we make to the environment are positive - eg there’s a beautiful lake where there was once a grassy wasteland with a thin trickle of a creek running thru it just down the road from my place and I undergo a beautiful garden where once there was scrub. Your thoughts would make sense if the hysteria didn’t expend so much money or scare those who are young and those who lack common sense. The money wasted on this cheat could be put to better use in constructive areas such as providing drinking water for the undeveloped countries. Another scary thing about this scam is how the media and politicians manipulate the people. Dopes use the expression ‘Climate Change’ at the drop of a hat without any understanding. Mankind cannot change the climate. No-one knows what the climate will be in ten years time. Personally I hope it doesn’t get any colder. ps ps. “And there is a point to your apparent philosophical objection to conservation and environment. I have construe some of your right wing fans...” Can I ask where you got the idea that Andrew is opposed to conservation or the environment? There’s a BIG difference between a conservationist and a greenie!! The latter is motivated more by misanthopy and totalitarian anti-capitalism than care for the environment I would suggest. Unfortunately Prof Singer will be forever tarred with that brush. I also doubt that he could be regarded as AB described him in the article as a “prominent climate physicist”. His previous analytical techniques still stand discredited and there is simply no evidence that he has improved them. The link between the group of gases known collectively as the greenhouse gases and absorbtion of infrared energy is shown (refer to Ray Evans presentation on that one and he is no fan of the theory); the concentration of these gases is increasing in the atmosphere (and there is no dispute over that one). The impacts of these two elements can be subject to quite vehement debate and even acrimonony but I have no problem in accepting the hypothesis that increasing the concentrations of these gases will ultimately lead to fundamental shifts in the energy flux of the troposphere/stratosphere and lead to changes in climate. The magnitude rate of change and benefits/disbenefits of the increases in greenhouse gases do require further work but the fundamentals are sound and while this is being done the impact risks should be managed through the mitigation of anthropogenic releases of the greenhouse gases. In that same manner you attempt to act a ‘… link between the group of gases known collectively as the greenhouse gases and absorption of infrared energy...’ whilst avoiding the reemittence behaviours of those Molecules. It is only the retained Energy that become a Kinetic Gain of the Molecular Unit.. and measured as ‘heat’ by expression as alteration to the Kinetic Velocity of the Molecular Unit. The rise in ‘concentration’ might be so but the actual cause has seen many ‘adjustments’ to hypothesis related to the ‘greenhouse platform’ INCLUDING the median ‘atmospheric life’ of CO2 which became ‘shortened’. Then followed pronouncement that ‘warming’ seemed ‘suspended’ and would restart in a few years time. Notice also that CO2 rises are noted being AFTER ‘warming events’ whilst in the ‘upper’ atmosphere such materials labelled as ‘greenhouse’ are attributed a cooling process. It is readily possible to produce in First Principles a COOLING Process associated with rise in CO2 which is also consistent with other NOTICED situations presently accepted. Perhaps the ‘debate’ is due and made persistent by the ‘greenhouse warming hypothesis’ being inconsistent with SCIENCE.. with notice of what is ACTUAL.. and is based within a Political Platform that originated when ‘greenhouse science’ could not present itself in a VALID manner otherwise and still cannot do so today. The ‘fundamentals’ are NOT ‘sound’ Bill while there aren’t shown any ‘risks’ that need be let alone ‘should be’ managed via ‘… the mitigation of anthropogenic releases of the greenhouse gases...’! There is not seen any actual problem with Climate there is not seen any actual ‘global warming’ and there are few valid points made for ‘greenhouse science’ at all account. Can you make any? Notice then that a Photon is NOT ‘heat’ .. no Climate Process is been detailed so then (suggested greenhouse) remediations cannot be validly made anyway with expectation of ‘success’. Yours. Peter K. Anderson a k a. Hartlod(TM) In fact his controversial paper made very alter that the association between smoking and lung cancer had been systematically established. Singer was actually criticising the EPA for using a different statistical technique to determine that Exhaled Tobacco Smoke had the same carcinogenic potential as smoking itself. But let’s not get bogged down in detail. As you say: ”Unfortunately Prof Singer will be forever tarred with that brush.” - and buffoons like Lorax will forever mount sophisticated arguments against his opinions along the lines of: ”Singer?! HAHAHAHAHAHA! Give me a break.”. Last time I looked Singer also had a PhD in Physics and a successful 50 year career in research and development in space bourne observation and climate science. Not really a hallmark of ”prominent climate physicist” of course. I guess as you say it’s that old tobacco thing again: ”So much for the credibility of the Professor to address the basic argument…”. What is the role of CO2 (and other greenhouse gases) in making the earth an add up of some 30 degrees warmer than fundamental radiation physics would otherwise have it? If we accept the hypothesis that the the rise in CO2 postdates the rise in temperature by some 900 years then what event occured in the year 800 AD or so that caused the go in atmospheric CO2 that occurred in the 1700’s and that we have evidence for? Bill (09:35am) you ordain find those answers on my little weblog and such are simple and EASY to make. To save typing see hartlod-DOT-blogspot-DOT-com and article ‘Space’. Venus. Mars & Luna issues ‘in the Greenhouse’! You will find my expression extended into hartlodsgallery-DOT-blogspot-DOT com also. The numeracy you mention in the ‘30 degree’ be is already been seen and outlined as FLAWED effort Bill there is no ‘special warming’ made as you try to mention. Such a situation made by many others in these threads also and previously. Research of OPINION is too often what is made in mentions such as ‘… I have also noticed many years of my research in this topic. ...’ but OPINION is by the paucity of FACT the actual issue with what is presented as ‘greenhouse science’. So too is the effort to avoid direct question with only attitude of ‘superiority’ and/or ‘special knowledge’ and Bill you have NOT answered even on one inform make to you. Bill (05:07pm) the answers are there you asked ‘… What is the mechanism that causes the hide to be warmer (on average) than the moon? ...’ and that is indeed outlined. The only other question was of that supposed ‘30 degree’ number and that is a nonsense. For my part and the simplest flaw to here notice the Photon motion within the atmosphere is OUTWARDS being in line with reduction in atmospheric density and those interactions associated with Molecules. Outward motion is less interfered with and so is predominate. The Planet does present behavior that does ‘… follow theorectical physics...’ it is not either myself OR the Planet that is ‘misleading’ you. So please respond to my initial questions Bill no more avoidance. The mention you made of some ‘… link between the group of gases known collectively as the greenhouse gases and absorption of infrared energy...’ is avoiding the reemittence behaviours of those Molecules. It is only the retained Energy that become a Kinetic Gain of the Molecular Unit.. and measured as ‘heat’ by expression as alteration to the Kinetic Velocity of the Molecular Unit. The rise in ‘concentration’ might be so but the actual cause has seen many ‘adjustments’ to hypothesis related to the ‘greenhouse platform’ INCLUDING the median ‘atmospheric life’ of CO2 which became ‘shortened’. Then followed pronouncement that ‘warming’ seemed ‘suspended’ and would restart in a few years measure. Notice also that CO2 rises are noted being AFTER ‘warming events’ whilst in the ‘upper’ atmosphere such materials labelled as ‘greenhouse’ are attributed a cooling process. It is readily possible to produce in First Principles a COOLING Process associated with rise in CO2 which is also consistent with other NOTICED situations presently accepted. Perhaps the ‘debate’ is due and made persistent by the ‘greenhouse warming hypothesis’ being inconsistent with SCIENCE.. with notice of what is ACTUAL.. and is based within a Political Platform that originated when ‘greenhouse science’ could not present itself in a VALID manner otherwise and still cannot do so today. The ‘fundamentals’ as you mention are NOT ‘appear’ account while there aren’t shown any ‘risks’ that need be let alone ‘should be’ managed via ‘… the mitigation of anthropogenic releases of the greenhouse gases...’! Bill (05:07pm) it is not ‘The fundamentals’ of SCIENCE that you mention but some ‘fundamentalism’ of a Cult like attitude towards ‘climate’ associated with a Political Platform (with the ‘greenhouse theory’ as a ‘business plan’) trying to appear ‘scientific’. I do have no concern about whatever ‘line’ you might prefer to answer on nor will notice further effort to avoid answer by your production of spurious ‘retaliatory’ questions. You being avoiding on mention of the reemittence behaviours of those Molecules. It is the same ‘effort’ I sight every time I make such mention that which you make here Bill. I do notice Physics in a VALID manner and APPLY such to the Materials by their known properties with regard to the Situation the Environment presents such to us. It is only the retained Energy that become a Kinetic Gain of the Molecular Unit.. and measured as ‘heat’ by expression as alteration to the Kinetic Velocity of the Molecular Unit. Notice also and comfort that CO2 rises are noted being AFTER ‘warming events’ whilst in the ‘upper’ atmosphere such materials labelled as ‘greenhouse’ are attributed a cooling process. It is readily possible to produce in First Principles a COOLING Process associated with rise in CO2 which is also valid AND consistent with other NOTICED situations presently accepted. So the ‘debate’ is due only to and made persistent by the ‘greenhouse warming hypothesis’ being inconsistent with SCIENCE.. but belligerently platformed POLITICALLY. Here’s a question how many non-skeptics do any of us know? The category I know is either ‘who gives a t***’ or ‘it’s a load of bear on’. The politician who tries to bring any kind of tax on this nonsense ordain be a brave politician indeed. On another note does anyone else laugh out loud when they here an add selling products with ‘green’ as a value add? Poor green church members having to spend all their money on useless indulgences. I almost feel sorry for their stupidity. Some bloke summed it all up thus “no-one ever reasoned a believer out of a position arrived at through UNreason”. This goes for all religious nuts. How to convince a New Age believer that the fairies and crystals (the angels?) are not directing our lives? Or that that when Jupiter aligns with Mars we are NOT in the age of Aquarius? Or that ying is not balanced by yang? When it comes to AGW,either you are a screaming chicken little or you are not.. end of story. Cheers. But: I think the balance of evidence combined with a risk analysis of not acting now if it is correct requires accepting the scenario as real. To present evidence that has an alternative explanation is not necessarily “refutation” and some of the more extreme “scares” are indeed - well - extreme. 1 and 2: No informed person disputes that there have been “natural” variations in climate throughtout history (and pre-history). But the argument is that addition of atmospheric CO2 with industralisation will significantly add to this. (5)Yes cold kills people and the ecosystem will adapt but over a very long timescale. The ecosystem does not give a hoot about the welfare of humans or their societies. Very large human populations will not be able to easily uproot themselves at short (decades) notice and move to the now balmy Siberian Tundra. Philip Shehan (12:10pm) says:- ‘… To expect every element of the man made global warming argument to be established beyond contend is nonsense and those say it is are idiotic. ...’; Actually Philip there isn’t seen any ‘.. element of the man made global warming...’ notced at all. The only ‘idiocy’ (the descriptive you use) then would be in those attempts to ‘establish by argument’ that ‘such warming’ exists (somehow and unnoticed). However what you show within your comments Philip is a Political Platform trying to argue itself and trying to sound ‘scientific’ in so doing. There is also numerous FLAWS in the effort to hypothesise that CO2 can even create a VALID ‘warming effect’. Even then any VALID ‘warming affect’ still does need to have shown a VALID ability to actually alter Climate in an UNNATURAL manner. Can you Philip detail ANY of the necessary ‘points of SCIENCE’ required rather than make those ‘points of argument’ you in mention? (No point in trying to ‘sound’ or ‘appear’ as being ‘scientific’ Philip none at all.) I am actually agreeing with the sceptics that scientific debates should never be declared closed and there are legitimate arguments against AGW based on scientific data observation and hypothesis. Overall in my humble opinion however there is more evidence (and I simply reject your contention that there is none whatsoever as idiotic) that AGW is occuring. Deciding what to do if this is the case is OF COURSE a political decision. So is DECIDING TO DO NOTHING until further evidence is gathered. Or Never as the denialists would undergo it. Such decisions should be made according to risk assessment of which the scientific arguments as to whether the phenomenon is occuring are merely part of the input data. So Philip Shehan (09:49pm) you have not outlined an actual problem existing then.. and what evidence of UNNATURAL processes is there Philip? You again avoid the evince AND its connotations trying instead to slide in mention of ‘AGW’ which has no UNNATURAL existence observed. There is no ‘risk’ to bring home the bacon then just expressions of FEAR made by OPINION. The best management then is to do by such the second best seems to be that employed. Such is to talk a great deal more until even that small Political Platform accepts there is no ACTUAL problem. As such it seems another 30 years of ‘counter committee’ discussions is about to be instituted. There isn’t seen any ‘… element of the man made global warming...’ noticed at all. There is little indication that there are ‘raised’ temperatures of the Environmental System. There are numerous FLAWS in the effort to anticipate that CO2 can even produce a VALID ‘warming cause’ and still any VALID ‘warming process’ must have shown a VALID ability to actually alter Climate in an UNNATURAL manner. Can you Philip detail ANY of the necessary ‘points of SCIENCE’ required rather than re-attempt ‘points of argument’? You also Philip can appear to only nominate others as ‘idiotic’ when unable to present any REALITY of the ‘problem’ you act to make of a SUPPOSED ‘AGW issue’. WASHINGTON. Sept. 12... -- A new analysis.. reveals that more than 500 scientists have published bear witness refuting at least one element of current man-made global warming scares. ...... “We have had a Greenhouse Theory with no evidence to support it-except a moderate warming turned into a scare by computer models whose results have never been verified with real-world events,” said co-author Singer. ... ... Avery and Singer noted that there are hundreds of additional peer-reviewed studies that undergo found cycle evidence and that they will publish additional researchers’ names and studies. ...... For more information please contact Dennis Avery. Hudson Institute Senior Fellow.. at 540-337-6354: Email: Hudson Institute----- Whilst readily is it found:-‘… For more information please contact Dennis Avery. Hudson Institute Senior Fellow.. at 540-337-6354: telecommunicate: Hudson Institute...’ There can be little worse that the babbitting {… (the action of) a self-satisfied narrow-minded man who cannot see beyond his own business and social interests...} you here produce Andrew G than when such IS obviously ALSO pointless. “His name was... Babbitt and.. he was nimble in the calling of selling houses for more than people could afford to pay.” -Sinclair Lewis line Andrew G (05:46pm) why not call direct not ‘reverse charge’? Ask then for a facsimile number. Make then a small fax note and send it. This often works faster than an email. You might get a reply to your email it will take time but if such was formed with the attitude you display here. I doubt much effort will be placed towards you. Why you would expect ANYONE to accept a ‘collect call’ from you is a mystery also let alone why you would believe their actions deficient in rejecting such. Perhaps then you should consider your attitude.. and the EGOTISM you do display. “His name was... Babbitt and.. he was nimble in the calling of selling houses for more than people could afford to pay.” -Sinclair Lewis Babbitt And according to you I am expected to:Call Intl to the USSend faxesSend emailsAwait repliesThen post a considered argument on the blog in three weeks time. Well Andrew G (08:24pm) it works it does what I suggest… Also you do need Andrew G to also notice the comment from Marty (12:41pm) being; ‘… you be to be spoonfed everything? ...’;and realise that Marty IS also a reader of this weblog as am I. Notice your exaggerations as you need only:- (1) Call ONE Intl call (to the US) (2) Send ONE facsimile. Both of these actions CAN be made from domiciliate even as ‘your computer’ CAN send a telecommunicate (my mobile telecommunicate even has a ‘fax driver’ for it as example...) as well as receive such. Also this after you HAVE (as claimed) sent that email.. and will need to await reply whilst you seem unable TO MAKE a ‘… considered argument...’ anyway. PS: Another tip most larger Offices have nice COLOUR LASER fax machines.. so your ‘document’ even arrives ‘in colour’ ...’sweet’ hey! Did anyone else catch the story on the the ABC measure night regarding the Carbon Credit industry being in strife. Apparently the global price of carbon has taken a nose dive of 50% in the last 2 weeks. One of the companies - Easy Being Green I think it was is struggling and evaluate they may actually go out of business and blame the Howard Government somehow. Market forces at work!Perhaps joe public is becoming a little more suspicious after all. As soon as the Alarmists and ‘Climate Scientists’ have adjusted their models for the 1000th time to explain to people why the Earth hasn’t warmed as they have predicted (Or cooled drink because of everyones brilliant Carbon Footprint reduction methods) then everyone may see the light and their eyes will undergo opened to see how foolish they were for following popular trend of the left-wing media. Oh come on now Andrew. The bind you refer to is just an attempt by Avery and Singer to market their latest book. Talking about which the 1500 year climate cycles they refer to are known as Dansgaard-Oeschger events. If you do a little bit of research on them you will find that climate scientists have been aware of them since the late 80s - early 90s and contrary to the Avery/Singer claims they are not global warming events as ice cores clearly show that as Greenland warms the Antarctic cools and vice versa. Of course the biggest flaw in the Avery/Singer theory is that these cycles stopped 11,000 years ago. Greg: The article is correct insofar as there is a large body of literature that identifies 1500 year temperature cycles since the last glaciation (although not all as warm as present). I don’t know what Avery and Singer’s theory is; solar cycles (presumably) the period of the thermohaline circulation or whatever. However it will certainly not be Dansgaard-Oeschger events because these occured during the last glaciation. Your friend has suggested you might be interested in this blog post:500 objections to global warming theory Thursday. September 13. 2007 The Hudson Institute’s Dennis Avery and prominent climate physicist S. Fred Singer undergo combed through the global warming science:A new analysis of peer-reviewed literature reveals that more than 500 scientists have published evidence refuting at least one element of current man-made global warming scares. More than 300 of the scientists found evidence that 1) a natural moderate 1,500-year climate make pass has produced more than a dozen global warmings similar to ours since the last Ice Age and/or that 2) our Modern Warming is linked strongly to variations in the sun’s irradiance… 3) sea levels are failing to rise importantly; 4) that our storms and droughts are becoming fewer and milder with this warming as they did during previous global warmings; 5) that human deaths will be reduced with warming because cold kills twice as many people as heat; and 6) that corals trees birds mammals and butterflies are adapting well to the routine reality of changing climate. Not that you’ve seen much of this research reported in the media addicted as it is to catastrophe and the new faith.(Thanks to readers Ben and Spencer de Vere.)The full affix with comments is available at:http://blogs news com au/heraldsun/andrewbolt/index php/heraldsun/comments/500_objections_to_global_warming_theory/thanks

2) During that time the Arctic ice sheet has retreated several times – a wide range of paeleological evidence shows that as recently as 4,000 years ago the summer sheet ice cover was significantly less than present – with the NW Passage open most years. 4) The habitat along the North American littoral has not changed materially since 4,000 BP – human settlement is not a noted barrier to the range of the Polar Bear. I didn’t see Channel 9’s Morning Program but I assume they explained why the Polar Bear will be unable to adapt this time. If not perhaps you might choose a more reliable source of information. Well actually. (from the NYC Department of City Planning)“.. At 2,200 acres - almost three times the coat of Central Park - New York’s Fresh Kills Park will be one of the most ambitious public works projects in the world combining state of the art ecological restoration techniques with extraordinary settings for recreation public art and facilities for many sports and programs that are unusual in the city. While nearly forty-five percent of the site was once used for landfilling operations the remainder of the site is currently composed of wetlands open waterways and unfilled lowland areas...”What was your point again? For my mind it appears there is a quite a few leaps of faith on both sides of the scientific debate. Singer (and Avery) surely undergo their opponents? Can anyone replicate Singer’s results? I don’t see how they can when each data sets would each need to validated and reflected in other studies. Hell. PaulyG no-one has been able to independently validate the surface temperature dataset that forms the basis for the claim of substantial warming and whose graph has a similarity to the carbon dioxide graph (if you do by the 20 year shift). Why has the surface temperature never been independently audited? Because the three organisations won’t allow this to happen. Britain’s CRU even says that it doesn’t know which observation stations provided the data it used to calculate the temperatures in each month of each year back to 1850. By the way the CRU data makes it clear that the global coverage has varied over time and even now it varies throughout the year meaning that the number of observation stations that supply the data is always changing. I do not argue the perfection of GW science. Accepted is your point on the veracity of the data-sets however and as I said the jury is still out. Admittedly. I find it difficult to accept the Singer report indicating a + or - variance of 500 years on the global climate cycle which amounts to bracket of 1000 years or over 60% of the average cycle of global climate (1470 years he stated). Can anyone enlighten me on this? Dazza like I said the jury is still out on the scientific debate. In fact it appears the skeptics are asking for a re-trial. Perhaps they will be right. As for ‘Big Oil’ or ‘Big Mining’ or even ‘Big Nuke’ for that matter - there is much vested interest in the result of the science either way. (Noted is Andrew Bolt’s comments about bigbuck clean-green investments and large appearance fees for the Gore/Flannerys of the global warming camp). However the aim of complete debunking of all things/efforts Green is very rather irresponsible stand point of many in the far right. How can we look into our kids faces and leave them a world irreversibly damaged by environmental destruction? As for using the denialist term. Okay you got me. Perhaps that denominate is overtly offensive and too provocative to garner respect from those in the other camp. Hence forth. I shall agree to limit the use of the term particularly in this communicate. But as for the term ‘Tories’ (not Torries) that is a historical term used thru out history of conservative politics to refer to conservatives. PaulyG (09:41am) you previously mentioned the ‘moving of goal posts’ you do dislike however ‘goal posts’ perhaps have ‘appeared’ .. and are needing shown Process capable of UNNATURAL alteration to Climate. Perhaps you experience the ‘climate Platformer’ cannot make that goal. You are a politik-nic PaulyG your effort to change surface make scientific ‘sounds’ are only act to support a ‘political belief’ platform. It is no coincidence that your previous efforts are to partition ‘climate discussion’ on some Political basis whilst you try to label others as ‘skeptics’ .. but then with your ‘Political basis’. You have still not rendered reply to outstanding requests for YOU to outline a valid Process CAPABLE of UNNATURAL ‘warming’ some ability of UNNATURAL alteration to Climate! Realise that Decrease (in frequency) IS as relevant as Increases when is noticed Global Weather Events this relevant to the ACTUAL study of Climate. No Climate Process has change surface been defined! This whilst there is negligible alteration in ‘Temperature’ anyway. So what is there actually happening to cause any concern of Climate which will always change anyway? Not much really! If there WAS something of such SUPPOSED (UNNATURAL) ‘rapid climate change’ it WOULD be more obvious by way of observation NOW however. After all the previous ‘earnest discussions’ have taken ~30 years so far and increasingly obviously are Human-centric measure Frames able to show non-primary (to Climate Process) fluctuations of ‘Turbulent Process’ Warming (and Cooling) periods only. With another ~30 years (perhaps) of discussions to come there seems perceived in that ATTITUDE of those Discussions little ‘wrong’ with Climate itself. So use the word UNNATURAL PaulyG as your avoidence of that evince sees you persistently deceptive and so ‘disingenuous’ in your ‘words and effort’. Climate changes NATURALLY PaulyG.. live with it and not rile against it! Pauly. I am not a denier of Global Warming. I just don’t evaluate man is the major cause. I am willing to listen to scientist and other people who are concerned about the future of the earth unfortunately the people pushing global warming the most are people like Al Gore who go on about how evil we are but act to be the worst polluters. Good Scientists should be people who put the studies out for others to see but then be willing to accept critism in their studies and not attack people who don’t agree with them. P. S. I think you are starting to change intensity a bit. Peter K - I assume by your use of the ‘nik’ suffix you are referring to some socialist leaning. Guilty as charged. Political? Absolutely. But still no apology for it. However I do apologise for not making good reply to your identifying a valid climate process but not for lack of me trying you are a hard man to please. I could quibble & gripe about you not answering my questions properly either (like your position on Intelligent Design) but it would be futile as I am actually the one trying surprise up with your science you know see things from your perspective. I came in here with what I have learnt up til that go out. Now I have more that I have learnt. Peter you undergo contributed to that. But is it just me being stupid or are you not getting your point across so well? But again for the sake of your argument and environmental concern what possibly would it take affect global climate? It seems to as if you undergo a deep belief that nothing could threaten life on earth at all. The researchers’ specialties include tree rings sea levels stalagmites lichens pollen plankton insects public health. Chinese history and astrophysics.“We have had a Greenhouse Theory with no evidence to support it-except a moderate warming turned into a scare by computer models whose results have never been verified with real-world events,” said co-author Singer. “On the other hand we have compelling evidence of a real-world climate cycle averaging 1470 years (plus or minus 500) running through the last million years of history. The climate cycle has above all been moderate and the trees bears birds and humans have quietly adapted.” The replication of data results is an important part in validation of research. This ‘study’ is a analyse of peer ‘mostly’ peer reviewed studies. It is not detailed definitive research. With such a huge + or - (macro) variance in the climate cycle broad bracket results could indicate an abhorrent result from data compounds even up from the micro level of the base research. Singer did not go approve and replicate data set results. That would be true replication of research which I am sure would help with the story ‘cutting thru’. If replication was achieved then who knows maybe you will see the lucky pioneering skeptic maybe Singer him/herself on the nightly news with you proudly by his side. Why? Accepted there are leaps of faith in GW theory & a lack of science in the media. That’s why I bother to get across the topic at all. I want to understand it better before I demonstrate either way. bring together enough? Mick. ‘soft’? Probably guilty there. But maybe I have multiple personalities there too. Look at me I am talking with people who are wondering if I am crazy! Maybe I’m bipolar. Quack Quack. PaulyG (03:32. 04:04 pm) You have as yet made no discursive effort but ‘waffled’ to avoid notice that there is no ‘AGW’ presented. There is no UNNATURAL process presented that CAN exist and produce ‘warming’ let alone UNNATURAL change to Climate. There is no relevance to ‘data sets’ you mention made only to sound ‘scientific’ whilst as cannot be produced RELEVANCE of those measurements. If you would mention ‘AGW’ PaulyG you must outline WHAT it is and if you would demand ‘risks’ are to be ‘managed’ you be to outline a PROCESS to take action against. You need to accept that Climate does change and it will change. At any indications of change FEAR will prevail you not. You only express then FEAR also of UNNATURAL change that is NOT shown in either Observation or potential Process whilst still avoiding the word UNNATURAL in relation to ALL and ANY mention you made of ‘AGW’. This is deliberate and is an effort to be deliberately deceptive then and comfort. Your past ‘questions’ where only to distract discussion and not made in any honest manner come all totally unrelated to any topical point.. the reason you ‘made have in mind’ thus. Your past behaviours remove any credence of you bespeak (no matter how made) to consider you attitude and effort to be anything other than it is a disassociated Political based effort of ‘platform protection’. Thus you will continue to quibble no matter what reply is made PaulyG so just begin to outline these SUPPOSED ‘processes’ you FEAR and lets see how real such CAN be.. which is what you try to avoid doing. I apparently will never qualify in your eyes as one worthy of a clear & simple explanation. But really I do want to be able to understand. But you’re not good teacher of your science or salesperson of your point of view. If nothing else my tenacity in argument with yourself shows that if you were able to convince me to becoming a skeptic myself then how many others would I spread this point of view too? PaulyG (11:22am) then all you can is be seen ‘saying’ and that such (UNNATURAL) ‘climate change’ as you FEAR is expressed as both ‘warming and cooling’? Notice also that ‘mention’ of ‘holocaust’ of any style only show your Fear associations the scavenging of ‘far flung’ scenarios the depth of your ‘fear’ associations. The LACK of enjoin and TOPICALLY RELEVANT outline shows the lack of any so being existent. All such behavior DOES render your effort to sound ‘scientific’ rather inane. You also try to maintain notice on unrelated situations whilst mentioning (persistently) some SUPPOSED ‘AGW’ affect which is what then? You begin to look like a victim of ‘climate propaganda’ .. doubly so after you nominated that Mr Flannery might gain ‘sainthood’! You are a politik-nic PaulyG try to protect a Political Platform that presents itself as being able to ‘contend what which you Fear’ (perhaps) but it is the ‘thats and whats’ which you seem unable to detail. Andrew the crazy thing is about you. EVEN if there is no such thing as global warming why would you constantly argue against a set of ideas and principles that are aimed at reducing the impact of humans on our planet? The bottom line is that the ideas in save of reducing global warming (whether GW exists or not) basically favour a sustainable future. But you argue against this. You are a bitter and black hearted exponent of your Liberal masters. Hypothetically. (to use a fiscal analogy) if you have to pay a bill you don’t go and pay + or - over 30%. If anything is uncertain about the projected cost of such a bill then it would prudent to allow for more in the budget than less? No-one has said they are against “reducing the force of humans on our planet”. What people are against is one cause (AGW) being used to push an ideological goal with no demonstrated (non theoretical and not based on computer models) scientific backing. Your arguement here is the same as that used by AGW believers when upon being faced with unfavourable science reply by saying that they were trying to stop pollution... If that is your aim then make it clear don’t hide behind something else. Who knows... Maybe some AGW believers don’t care about “pollution” as they can’t make money from stopping it (carbon credits from own company) and some skeptics may be in favour of cutting back on pollution but only when they KNOW what is being pushed for and why. The furnish lie is that the ideas in favour of reducing global warming (whether GW exists or not) basically favour a sustainable future. If GW does not exist (as you are willing to admit is a possibility) how can you be that not making changes will NOT “favour a sustainable future”. Isn’t it equally likely that by stopping activities disliked by AGW followers we are more likely to be working towards an UNsubstainable future? (particularly if/when AGW is proven to not exist in any measureable way) If there WAS something of such SUPPOSED (UNNATURAL) ‘rapid climate change’ it WOULD be more obvious by way of observation NOW. After all those previous ‘earnest discussions’ have taken ~30 years so far and increasingly obviously are Human-centric Time Frames able to show non-primary (to Climate Process) fluctuations of ‘Turbulent Process’ Warming (and Cooling) periods only. No Climate Process has even been accurately defined very few ACTUAL Processes are even mentioned.. just ‘repairs’ Al Keeda. But WHAT are these SUPPOSED ‘repairs’ then to be made upon Al Keeda? PaulyG (10:20am) again you try to notice some POLITICAL division and allude that your ‘attitude’ is somehow ‘environmentalism’! Define a valid UNNATURAL Process able to alter Climate. Notice that it is MEASURES that you notice in your analogy and such ARE of undefined Processes in the discussion of Climate. There is then NO POINT in valid SCIENCE to citing those measures as relevant even. As mentioned previously even ‘hypotheticals’ to be of relevance to a System. MUST have some defined ATTACHMENT to that System as otherwise even ‘statistics’ (and Statistical Process) are of little valid ‘use’. You are a ‘politik-nic’ PaulyG and your ‘goal posts’ require an UNNATURAL process to BE defined.. not just alluded to (indirectly change surface). You should not attempt to adopt ‘an attitude of a scrutineer’ PaulyG as it is NOT by ‘attitude’ that such works are done. Firstly why would we necessarily be to reduce the impact of humans on our planet as an end in its own right? Surely the planet is there for our benefit not the other way around (unless of course there are other creatures on this planet who have the capacity to reason)? Many of the changes that we alter to the environment are positive - eg there’s a beautiful lake where there was once a grassy wasteland with a thin trickle of a creek running thru it just down the road from my place and I have a beautiful garden where once there was scrub. Your thoughts would make sense if the hysteria didn’t waste so much money or scare those who are young and those who lack common comprehend. The money wasted on this scam could be put to better use in constructive areas such as providing drinking water for the undeveloped countries. Another scary thing about this scam is how the media and politicians manipulate the people. Dopes use the expression ‘Climate Change’ at the drop of a hat without any understanding. Mankind cannot change the climate. No-one knows what the climate will be in ten years time. Personally I hope it doesn’t get any colder. ps ps. “And there is a inform to your apparent philosophical objection to conservation and environment. I have read some of your right wing fans...” Can I ask where you got the idea that Andrew is opposed to conservation or the environment? There’s a BIG difference between a conservationist and a greenie!! The latter is motivated more by misanthopy and totalitarian anti-capitalism than care for the environment I would suggest. Unfortunately Prof Singer will be forever tarred with that brush. I also disbelieve that he could be regarded as AB described him in the article as a “prominent climate physicist”. His previous analytical techniques still stand discredited and there is simply no evidence that he has improved them. The link between the group of gases known collectively as the greenhouse gases and absorbtion of infrared energy is shown (refer to Ray Evans presentation on that one and he is no fan of the theory); the concentration of these gases is increasing in the atmosphere (and there is no dispute over that one). The impacts of these two elements can be subject to quite vehement debate and even acrimonony but I have no problem in accepting the hypothesis that increasing the concentrations of these gases will ultimately lead to fundamental shifts in the energy flux of the troposphere/stratosphere and lead to changes in climate. The magnitude rate of change and benefits/disbenefits of the increases in greenhouse gases do demand further work but the fundamentals are sound and while this is being done the impact risks should be managed through the mitigation of anthropogenic releases of the greenhouse gases. In that same manner you attempt to overplay a ‘… link between the assort of gases known collectively as the greenhouse gases and absorption of infrared energy...’ whilst avoiding the reemittence behaviours of those Molecules. It is only the retained Energy that become a Kinetic Gain of the Molecular Unit.. and measured as ‘heat’ by expression as alteration to the Kinetic Velocity of the Molecular Unit. The rise in ‘concentration’ might be so but the actual cause has seen many ‘adjustments’ to hypothesis related to the ‘greenhouse platform’ INCLUDING the median ‘atmospheric life’ of CO2 which became ‘shortened’. Then followed pronouncement that ‘warming’ seemed ‘suspended’ and would restart in a few years time. Notice also that CO2 rises are noted being AFTER ‘warming events’ whilst in the ‘upper’ atmosphere such materials labelled as ‘greenhouse’ are attributed a cooling process. It is readily possible to produce in First Principles a COOLING Process associated with go in CO2 which is also consistent with other NOTICED situations presently accepted. Perhaps the ‘debate’ is due and made persistent by the ‘greenhouse warming hypothesis’ being inconsistent with SCIENCE.. with notice of what is ACTUAL.. and is based within a Political Platform that originated when ‘greenhouse science’ could not present itself in a VALID manner otherwise and still cannot do so today. The ‘fundamentals’ are NOT ‘sound’ Bill while there aren’t shown any ‘risks’ that need be let alone ‘should be’ managed via ‘… the mitigation of anthropogenic releases of the greenhouse gases...’! There is not seen any actual problem with Climate there is not seen any actual ‘global warming’ and there are few valid points made for ‘greenhouse science’ at all Bill. Can you make any? sight then that a Photon is NOT ‘heat’ .. no Climate Process is been detailed so then (suggested greenhouse) remediations cannot be validly made anyway with expectation of ‘success’. Yours. Peter K. Anderson a k a. Hartlod(TM) In fact his controversial paper made very clear that the association between smoking and lung cancer had been systematically established. Singer was actually criticising the EPA for using a different statistical technique to determine that Exhaled Tobacco Smoke had the same carcinogenic potential as smoking itself. But let’s not get bogged down in detail. As you say: ”Unfortunately Prof Singer will be forever tarred with that brush.” - and buffoons like Lorax will forever mount sophisticated arguments against his opinions along the lines of: ”Singer?! HAHAHAHAHAHA! Give me a break.”. Last time I looked Singer also had a PhD in Physics and a successful 50 year go in research and development in space bourne observation and climate science. Not really a hallmark of ”prominent climate physicist” of course. I guess as you say it’s that old tobacco thing again: ”So much for the credibility of the Professor to address the basic argument…”. What is the role of CO2 (and other greenhouse gases) in making the earth an average of some 30 degrees warmer than fundamental radiation physics would otherwise have it? If we accept the hypothesis that the the rise in CO2 postdates the rise in temperature by some 900 years then what event occured in the year 800 AD or so that caused the rise in atmospheric CO2 that occurred in the 1700’s and that we have evidence for? Bill (09:35am) you will find those answers on my little weblog and such are simple and EASY to make. To save typing see hartlod-DOT-blogspot-DOT-com and article ‘Space’. Venus. Mars & Luna issues ‘in the Greenhouse’! You will find my expression extended into hartlodsgallery-DOT-blogspot-DOT com also. The numeracy you mention in the ‘30 degree’ number is already been seen and outlined as FLAWED effort Bill there is no ‘special warming’ made as you try to mention. Such a situation made by many others in these threads also and previously. Research of OPINION is too often what is made in mentions such as ‘… I have also noticed many years of my research in this topic. ...’ but OPINION is by the paucity of FACT the actual air with what is presented as ‘greenhouse science’. So too is the effort to avoid direct question with only attitude of ‘superiority’ and/or ‘special knowledge’ and Bill you have NOT answered even on one point make to you. Bill (05:07pm) the answers are there you asked ‘… What is the mechanism that causes the earth to be warmer (on average) than the moon? ...’ and that is indeed outlined. The only other challenge was of that supposed ‘30 degree’ number and that is a nonsense. For my part and the simplest flaw to here notice the Photon motion within the atmosphere is OUTWARDS being in line with reduction in atmospheric density and those interactions associated with Molecules. Outward motion is less interfered with and so is predominate. The Planet does present behavior that does ‘… follow theorectical physics...’ it is not either myself OR the Planet that is ‘misleading’ you. So gratify respond to my sign questions account no more avoidance. The have in mind you made of some ‘… link between the group of gases known collectively as the greenhouse gases and absorption of infrared energy...’ is avoiding the reemittence behaviours of those Molecules. It is only the retained Energy that become a Kinetic Gain of the Molecular Unit.. and measured as ‘heat’ by expression as alteration to the Kinetic Velocity of the Molecular Unit. The rise in ‘concentration’ might be so but the actual cause has seen many ‘adjustments’ to hypothesis related to the ‘greenhouse platform’ INCLUDING the median ‘atmospheric life’ of CO2 which became ‘shortened’. Then followed pronouncement that ‘warming’ seemed ‘suspended’ and would restart in a few years time. Notice also that CO2 rises are noted being AFTER ‘warming events’ whilst in the ‘upper’ atmosphere such materials labelled as ‘greenhouse’ are attributed a cooling process. It is readily possible to produce in First Principles a COOLING Process associated with rise in CO2 which is also consistent with other NOTICED situations presently accepted. Perhaps the ‘debate’ is due and made persistent by the ‘greenhouse warming hypothesis’ being inconsistent with SCIENCE.. with notice of what is ACTUAL.. and is based within a Political Platform that originated when ‘greenhouse science’ could not present itself in a VALID manner otherwise and still cannot do so today. The ‘fundamentals’ as you mention are NOT ‘sound’ Bill while there aren’t shown any ‘risks’ that be be let alone ‘should be’ managed via ‘… the mitigation of anthropogenic releases of the greenhouse gases...’! Bill (05:07pm) it is not ‘The fundamentals’ of SCIENCE that you mention but some ‘fundamentalism’ of a Cult like attitude towards ‘climate’ associated with a Political Platform (with the ‘greenhouse theory’ as a ‘business plan’) trying to sound ‘scientific’. I do have no concern about whatever ‘line’ you might prefer to answer on nor will notice further effort to avoid answer by your production of spurious ‘retaliatory’ questions. You being avoiding on mention of the reemittence behaviours of those Molecules. It is the same ‘effort’ I notice every time I make such mention that which you make here Bill. I do notice Physics in a VALID manner and bear on such to the Materials by their known properties with regard to the Situation the Environment presents such to us. It is only the retained Energy that become a Kinetic Gain of the Molecular Unit.. and measured as ‘heat’ by expression as alteration to the Kinetic Velocity of the Molecular Unit. Notice also and still that CO2 rises are noted being AFTER ‘warming events’ whilst in the ‘upper’ atmosphere such materials labelled as ‘greenhouse’ are attributed a cooling process. It is readily possible to produce in First Principles a COOLING Process associated with rise in CO2 which is also valid AND consistent with other NOTICED situations presently accepted. So the ‘debate’ is due only to and made persistent by the ‘greenhouse warming hypothesis’ being inconsistent with SCIENCE.. but belligerently platformed POLITICALLY. Here’s a question how many non-skeptics do any of us experience? The category I know is either ‘who gives a t***’ or ‘it’s a load of bull’. The politician who tries to bring any kind of tax on this nonsense will be a brave politician indeed. On another note does anyone else laugh out loud when they here an add selling products with ‘color’ as a value add? Poor green church members having to spend all their money on useless indulgences. I almost conclude sorry for their stupidity. Some bloke summed it all up thus “no-one ever reasoned a believer out of a position arrived at through UNreason”. This goes for all religious nuts. How to convince a New Age believer that the fairies and crystals (the angels?) are not directing our lives? Or that that when Jupiter aligns with Mars we are NOT in the age of Aquarius? Or that ying is not balanced by yang? When it comes to AGW,either you are a screaming chicken little or you are not.. end of story. Cheers. But: I think the balance of bear witness combined with a risk analysis of not acting now if it is correct requires accepting the scenario as real. To present evidence that has an alternative explanation is not necessarily “refutation” and some of the more extreme “scares” are indeed - well - extreme. 1 and 2: No informed person disputes that there have been “natural” variations in climate throughtout history (and pre-history). But the argument is that addition of atmospheric CO2 with industralisation will significantly add to this. (5)Yes cold kills people and the ecosystem ordain adapt but over a very long timescale. The ecosystem does not furnish a emit about the welfare of humans or their societies. Very large human populations ordain not be able to easily uproot themselves at short (decades) notice and move to the now balmy Siberian Tundra. Philip Shehan (12:10pm) says:- ‘… To expect every element of the man made global warming argument to be established beyond dispute is nonsense and those say it is are idiotic. ...’; Actually Philip there isn’t seen any ‘.. element of the man made global warming...’ notced at all. The only ‘idiocy’ (the descriptive you use) then would be in those attempts to ‘establish by argument’ that ‘such warming’ exists (somehow and unnoticed). However what you show within your comments Philip is a Political Platform trying to defend itself and trying to sound ‘scientific’ in so doing. There is also numerous FLAWS in the effort to hypothesise that CO2 can even produce a VALID ‘warming effect’. Even then any VALID ‘warming process’ still does need to have shown a VALID ability to actually alter Climate in an UNNATURAL manner. Can you Philip detail ANY of the necessary ‘points of SCIENCE’ required rather than alter those ‘points of argument’ you in mention? (No point in trying to ‘sound’ or ‘appear’ as being ‘scientific’ Philip none at all.) I am actually agreeing with the sceptics that scientific debates should never be declared closed and there are legitimate arguments against AGW based on scientific data observation and hypothesis. Overall in my humble opinion however there is more evidence (and I simply reject your contention that there is none whatsoever as idiotic) that AGW is occuring. Deciding what to do if this is the case is OF COURSE a political decision. So is DECIDING TO DO NOTHING until further evidence is gathered. Or Never as the denialists would have it. Such decisions should be made according to risk assessment of which the scientific arguments as to whether the phenomenon is occuring are merely part of the input data. So Philip Shehan (09:49pm) you have not outlined an actual problem existing then.. and what evidence of UNNATURAL processes is there Philip? You again avoid the word AND its connotations trying instead to slide in mention of ‘AGW’ which has no UNNATURAL existence observed. There is no ‘risk’ to bring home the bacon then just expressions of FEAR made by OPINION. The best management then is to ignore such the second best seems to be that employed. Such is to talk a great broach more until even that small Political Platform accepts there is no ACTUAL problem. As such it seems another 30 years of ‘counter committee’ discussions is about to be instituted. There isn’t seen any ‘… element of the man made global warming...’ noticed at all. There is little indication that there are ‘raised’ temperatures of the Environmental System. There are numerous FLAWS in the effort to hypothesise that CO2 can change surface produce a VALID ‘warming effect’ and still any VALID ‘warming process’ must have shown a VALID ability to actually alter Climate in an UNNATURAL manner. Can you Philip detail ANY of the necessary ‘points of SCIENCE’ required rather than re-attempt ‘points of argument’? You also Philip can appear to only nominate others as ‘idiotic’ when unable to present any REALITY of the ‘problem’ you attempt to make of a SUPPOSED ‘AGW air’. WASHINGTON. Sept. 12... -- A new analysis.. reveals that more than 500 scientists undergo published evidence refuting at least one element of current man-made global warming scares. ...... “We have had a Greenhouse Theory with no bear witness to support it-except a moderate warming turned into a scare by computer models whose results have never been verified with real-world events,” said co-author Singer. ... ...

Babbitt and.. he was nimble in the calling of selling houses for more than populate could afford to pay.” -Sinclair Lewis Babbitt And according to you I am expected to:Call Intl to the USSend faxesSend emailsAwait repliesThen post a considered argument on the blog in three weeks time. Well Andrew G (08:24pm) it works it does what I suggest… Also you do need Andrew G to also notice the comment from Marty (12:41pm) being; ‘… you be to be spoonfed everything? ...’;and realise that Marty IS also a reader of this weblog as am I. sight your exaggerations as you need only:- (1) Call ONE Intl call (to the US) (2) Send ONE facsimile. Both of these actions CAN be made from home even as ‘your computer’ CAN send a facsimile (my mobile phone change surface has a ‘fax driver’ for it as example...) as come up as acquire such. Also this after you HAVE (as claimed) sent that email.. and will need to await reply whilst you seem unable TO MAKE a ‘… considered argument...’ anyway. PS: Another tip most larger Offices have nice COLOUR LASER fax machines.. so your ‘enter’ change surface arrives ‘in colour’ ...’sweet’ hey! Did anyone else catch the story on the the ABC last night regarding the Carbon Credit industry being in strife. Apparently the global price of carbon has taken a nose dive of 50% in the last 2 weeks. One of the companies - Easy Being color I think it was is struggling and think they may actually go out of business and blame the Howard Government somehow. Market forces at work!Perhaps joe public is becoming a little more suspicious after all. As soon as the Alarmists and ‘Climate Scientists’ have adjusted their models for the 1000th time to inform to people why the Earth hasn’t warmed as they undergo predicted (Or cooled down because of everyones brilliant Carbon Footprint reduction methods) then everyone may see the light and their eyes will have opened to see how foolish they were for following popular trend of the left-wing media. Oh come on now Andrew. The article you refer to is just an attempt by Avery and Singer to market their latest book. Talking about which the 1500 year climate cycles they refer to are known as Dansgaard-Oeschger events. If you do a little bit of research on them you will find that climate scientists have been aware of them since the late 80s - early 90s and contrary to the Avery/Singer claims they are not global warming events as ice cores clearly show that as Greenland warms the Antarctic cools and vice versa. Of cover the biggest flaw in the Avery/Singer theory is that these cycles stopped 11,000 years ago. Greg: The article is correct insofar as there is a large body of literature that identifies 1500 year temperature cycles since the last glaciation (although not all as warm as present). I don’t know what Avery and Singer’s theory is; solar cycles (presumably) the period of the thermohaline circulation or whatever. However it will certainly not be Dansgaard-Oeschger events because these occured during the last glaciation. Your friend has suggested you might be interested in this blog post:500 objections to global warming theory Thursday. September 13. 2007 The Hudson Institute’s Dennis Avery and prominent climate physicist S. Fred Singer have combed through the global warming science:A new analysis of peer-reviewed literature reveals that more than 500 scientists have published evidence refuting at least one element of current man-made global warming scares. More than 300 of the scientists open evidence that 1) a natural discuss 1,500-year climate cycle has produced more than a dozen global warmings similar to ours since the last Ice Age and/or that 2) our Modern Warming is linked strongly to variations in the sun’s irradiance… 3) sea levels are failing to go importantly; 4) that our storms and droughts are becoming fewer and milder with this warming as they did during previous global warmings; 5) that human deaths will be reduced with warming because cold kills twice as many people as heat; and 6) that corals trees birds mammals and butterflies are adapting well to the routine reality of changing climate. Not that you’ve seen much of this research reported in the media addicted as it is to catastrophe and the new faith.(Thanks to readers Ben and Spencer de Vere.)The full post with comments is available at:http://blogs news com au/heraldsun/andrewbolt/index php/heraldsun/comments/500_objections_to_global_warming_theory/thanks

"No melting, but moving" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-03-04 07:25:17

’… Just when you thought this season’s cryosphere couldn’t be more strange...’ Well perhaps if those ‘observers’ where not so often trying to ‘fit’ a ‘warming turn’ .. and considered making observations in a manner of SCIENCE. There is a difference tween ‘believing’ there is an ‘established’ hypothesis and that hypothesis establishing itself. What is ”expected from science” is OBSERVATION then hypothesis and there is no consistent observation of UNNATURAL warming. Dude. I really do agree with most of your posts but could you please and this is the back up time I’ve asked you this quit with the syntax nightmare that you present to us every single damn affix??? Geez ,man. I use parenthesis too much but getting through your posts is a nightmare at this time of night (indeed any time) and not because of the actual info presented but because it makes my eyes bleed and my head comprehend trying to actually just construe the damn things. Hypothetical UNNATURAL process X: Plantary deprivation of sunlight due to global sized radioactive clean darken post-detonation of world nuclear ICBM arsenal. Rationale: This ‘holocaust’ scenario however unlikely or extreme is possible. The hypothetical is linked to the actual world by fact of nuclear armament. Radioactive dust clouds undergo been observed after many detonations of nuclear devices. Sunlight is vastly restricted from reaching the earth. The ascend of the hide cools as a prove. Plants die from lack of lighten for photosynthesis and precipitation & other defy patterns are also affected. Questions for Peter K (& co): Is this above scenario containing an UNNATURAL process & relevant climate dress effects VALID? James (11:52pm) it is good that you agree with those points I increase having found them to be legibly presented. Let me offer you then some more information for as it might well might be that:-‘… The written word differs from the spoken. ...’;.. realise then within the Internet is the written ‘word’ that which IS being spoken. It is a pleasure to otherwise receive your attention thank you James. Next it would be that PaulyG (11:53pm) still avoids outline of the (supposed) UNNATURAL process able to either ‘warm’ Climate or otherwise able to alter Climate in some UNNATURAL manner that HE does worry. Thus are We all unable to establish what it is you do ‘worry’ still nor what it is you want Us to ‘ameliorate’. Climate does dress persistently. We all must learn to live with any such changes within their NATURAL Expressions. AND do so without Fear and ‘blame’. I am trying to get onto your page Peter somehow. I just fail to see how you unequivocally prove no unnatural climate change process (could ever?) exist. So I will rephrase: PeterK. Would that abovementioned scenario create a climate dress effect via a VALID process of deprivation of sunlight blocked by dust clouds? BTW your continual refusal to reply answer negative or affirmative to the question regards your lay of Intelligent Design Theory is suggestive of your supportive belief in it. PaulyG (11:22am) then all you can do is ‘say’ and that such (UNNATURAL) ‘climate change’ as you FEAR is expressed as both ‘warming and cooling’? Notice that you comfort avoid use of the word ’UNNATURAL‘ PaulyG which renders your effort to appear ‘scientific’ rather inane. You also try to keep notice on unrelated situations whilst mentioning (persistently) some SUPPOSED ‘AGW’ affect which is what then? You are a politik-nic PaulyG and only try to protect a Political Platform that presents itself as being able to ‘battle what which you Fear’ (perhaps) but it is the ‘thats and whats’ which you be unable to detail. You begin to be like a victim of ‘climate propaganda’ .. doubly so after you nominated that Mr Flannery might gain ‘sainthood’! Physical processes are natural. The explosive detonation of a bomb disturbing dust is a Natural process. There is nothing unnatural about it. An Asteroid would do the same thing. Massive volcanism also… Dust’s influence on the albedo is the same no matter the circumstance that places it there. As long as they all achieve similar hight and densities. Peter K. Anderson a k a. Hartlod(TM). I used unnatural (again)in my affix and you accuse me of avoiding it for at least the back up time? Note my affix: ‘... Hypothetical UNNATURAL affect X: Plantary deprivation of sunlight due to global sized radioactive dust darken post-detonation of world nuclear ICBM arsenal. ... Questions for Peter K (& co): Is this above scenario containing an UNNATURAL affect & relevant climate change effects VALID? ‘ PaulyG (12:24am) there is no ‘accusation’ being made you do demonstrate directly behavior to forbid answer by attempting ‘retaliatory question’ such a common feature of ‘political’ behaviourism. You would (and did) nominate ‘AGW’ as producing an effect that is UNNATURAL (somehow). That is you would bespeak ‘AGW’ is too be seen as producing ‘warming’ or UNNATURAL dress to Climate otherwise. Yet you will not or cannot outline any Process capable in change surface some potential. You ‘operate’ only with a BELIEF there is something to Feat demand that others accept and also ‘take on your Fear’ and act churlishly when asked for some detail of that which you be to Fear. What is this supposed UNNATURAL PROCESS that you fear Pauly G? Your nomination of some ‘list’ of ‘things’ seems only an effort to HIDE otherwise what it is you seem to fear. So now you are seen demanding ‘blind belief’ of others to only match ‘your own’ perhaps? Weirder every day I tell you. You keep thinking that the threshold of weirdness will be crossed and everyone ordain wake up and go “Hang on! I don’t believe that!”. Andrew: regarding your mention below. It is expected that warm air with greater moisture carried into the Antarctic region ordain prove in greater precipitation as the air cools and can displace less wet vapour. Increased snowfall is not expected from Antarctic warming. In any case. I think you will find that it has warmed. You really be to know something about the subject. ANDREW REPLIES: construe THIS - - AND APOLOGISE FOR CRITICISING BEFORE RESEARCHING. YOU REALLY be TO KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT THE SUBJECT Andrew: I’m not sure that TCSM is a scientific journal. Regardless. I evaluate that you ordain sight that that your five-year-old reference was open to be referring to an error - the satelite data was including stratospheric cooling (predicted by the models) as well as the tropospheric warming (also predicted by the models. You also obviously fail to understand why it is predictable that there is increased snowfall in the Antarctic. I suspect that is because you don’t understand the relationship between air temperature and its capacity to hold water vapour. No apology yet. And just for the record. NH ice sheet dress since from 1979 to August 2007 = -8.1%/decade trend slope. SH= -0.3%/decade The ice sheet in the SH has hardly “grown” as implied by this post. The trend indicates no significant change in size. Now that is an interesting question. Why do we see quite dramatic ice sheet loss in the northern hemisphere where most of the world’s population lives and no change in the southern hemisphere. What a conundrum. matteo francesco (07:40pm) in saying ‘… and the biggest mind for increased sea levels is thermal expansion not ice break up...’; can you nominate to us the MASS of those Waters of the Oceans please? You have in mind also to variation in Turbulence Processes which ordain show fluctuations in Temperature whilst Precipitation is a ‘kinetic’ process as much as a ‘thermal’ one. Both situations then must be given ‘compete sight’ but it is that there is not UNBIASED observations or even valid notice of what IS ‘heat’ in too much of ‘greenhouse science’ .. and its presentations. In a nutshell it’s a earn to the editor of Nature that says Antarctica temps cooled up until 2000. It doesn’t say what happened after 2000 though. This map shows the data from 1957 process now. You know what? Some areas undergo cooled but most of the continent has warmed (even more so). The actual impel itself has cooled from -48.9 to -50.4 while the coastal station Faraday (the displace with the most warming) has gone from -5.4 to -2.0 Peter Farnbach (10:26pm. 11:59pm. 08:46am) sight however that the precipitated wet (that is being noticed) is rarely ‘locally’ derived. It does show by its presence then a obtain of Kinetic Energy another within the affect that did ‘deliver’ such Water from a remote Region. Have you ever notice that is ‘warmer’ AFTER precipitation? Then there is the ‘warming process’ of that Water freezing directly itself. Such situations must be given ‘equal notice’ but it is that there is not UNBIASED observations or even valid notice of what IS ‘heat’ in too much of ‘greenhouse science’ .. and its presentations and associated ‘areas of interest’. LK (09:53am) please do announce WHY ‘numbers’ from 1979 to 2007 are of ANY consequence to actual Processes of Climate. Apart from such making a convenient platform for some Political movements there is no validity in SCIENCE to make anything of such numeracy. Human-centric time frames do only show variations in System Turbulence thus fluctuations in System Temperature and Weather System Patterns. You fear monger within attempt to avoid notice that the Northern Pole SEA ice is considered non-permanent has seen expressed highly variable break up rates as HAS been noted by others (with example even). There’s an explanation for this mark my words global warming doesn’t mean the whole globe warms at once there ordain be cold spots and it will be dry and wet and I don’t know. I give up. It’s climate change now anyway so it can do what it likes and the alarmists will still be right until nothing alarming or catastrophic happens. We undergo to run out of gullibility sometime surely. 2. Prophets tell us that we are to die,20 years from now for sure,it doesn’t happen,our feet start a tappin’,then we’re told to wait 20 years more. Andrew - Are you serious or just ignorant? The loss of Arctic ice is one of the feedbacks that can accelerate AGW as less ice reflects less bunco gesticulate radiation. This is not compensated for by ice thickness gains in the interior of the Antarctic. Also the mass balance overall of the Antarctic is still negative as more ice is melting around the edges than is being accumulated in the interior. “Scientists say the rate of melting in 2007 has been unprecedented and veteran ice researchers worry the Arctic is on track to be completely ice-free much earlier than previous research and climate models have suggested. “If you had asked me a few years ago about how fast the Arctic would be ice remove in summer. I would have said somewhere between about 2070 and the move of the century,” said scientist Mark Serreze polar ice expert at the NSIDC. “My view has changed. I think that an ice-free Arctic as early as 2030 is not unreasonable.” Ice free 40 years sooner. I anticipate this is all natural after all as it must just be an amazing co-incidence that all this is happening just when we are pumping billions of tons of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Also the mass balance overall of the Antarctic is still contradict as more ice is melting around the edges than is being accumulated in the interior. volume was not mentioned in this report they were talking about area ie form kilometers and it contradicts your claim of it shrinking due to “melting around the edges” Ender (07:48pm) notice that the Guardian was long ago attributed the position as ‘the best wrapper for fish and chips’. The ABC is of a lesser ‘use’ being incapable even of use as a ‘look for and chip’ container. You still show poor comprehension of SCIENCE as Water Ice is still Water and does still what ‘water’ does. The ‘solid’ however ADDS interaction ‘abilities’ to that presented by the Molecule and the Liquid. You need to act into the 20th Century Ender sight the Photon then progress into the 21st Century. Clinging to the 19th Century and the ‘greenhouse theory’ is not doing you any ‘good’ .. certainly trying to misidentify some older ‘communication jargon’ into your efforts to make ‘scientific’ noises does not. Have you as yet comprehended why Heat is a problem for Electric Propulsion Systems Ender? Who is Bernie Slattery anyway BTW?? Does he experience anything more than you or me? DOes he just trawl the ‘net like everyone else? If so pardon me ffor not taking his word for it. Especially becasue I would have thought this part of the quoted website is pretty important: The observed sea ice preserve in the Southern Hemisphere (1979-present) is not as desire as the Northern Hemisphere. Prior to the satellite era direct observations of the SH sea ice advance were sporadic Seriously Andrew this is a very high risk strategy you’re engaging in. People ordain go to jail in the future for deliberately misleading the public about climate dress. I’m convinced of that. When the climate turns nasty populate will be for someone to accuse and the most vocal climate change deniers will be top of their list. It might be possible to get away with this nonsense in the dying days of the Howard regime but the political environment in Australia and the U. S ordain be very different in a few years measure. I can see a time when the denialists are demonised and dragged through the courts for anything and everything. Look at the tobacco companies. No doubt I’ll be shouted down and called a madman by your followers but don’t say you we’re warned. Should be interesting when that happens... Only question what ordain Al Gore be imprisoned for? Obtaining property by deception (selling carbon credits while trying to compel populate to buy them by making unsubstantiated claims) fraud misleading Congress… WOAH! You don’t believe this utter tripe do you? I can’t believe I am reading this from an Australian. So you would put populate in prison for disagreeing with you. Typical godamn leftists. You complain and moan about freedoms but in the end you are the Authoritarian and dictatorial of anyone. Actually. I didn’t didn’t call anyone scum nor did I say anything about shooting people or putting them up against the wall. As usual all the violence and abuse came from Right-thinking populate. In the 1970s. 80s and 90s the tobacco companies spent millions on “science” and PR in an effort to persuade the public that smoking was not damaging to your health. Those same tobacco companies have now been forces to pay out billions in compensation. I repeat: Andrew you are engaging in a high-risk strategy. Unlike the anonymous commenters on this blog (myself included) you are out there on the public record repeatedly denying the reality of human-caused climate change. You have gone come up beyond just expressing a dissenting opinion (which you are more than entitled to do) you undergo been actively pushing the denialist agenda to the point of regularly mocking supporters of action on climate change. IMO this will go back to follow you because this problem is not going away. It ordain become the issue for a generation. The Lorax (06:03pm) you make very obvious how the ‘Eco-alarmist’ does panic when confronted within rational discussion. Their fears get the exceed of them obviously and rapidly they begin to address others. Their worry seems that of becoming IRRELEVANT which leads the ‘Eco-alarmists’ to try to LATCH onto any Community ISSUE that is ‘presently relevant’. You have not ever been ‘shouted down’ you are just a little paranoid but do be to show some (valid) outline The Lorax of an actual Process around which your ‘demands for action’ can be noticed. You thus otherwise seem to only ‘dance a jig’ without stage.. or props.. or any (rational) purpose do you have ‘funny shoes’ at least? You ‘cause’ is not assisted by attempting to denominate others as ‘denialists’ when you otherwise cannot present an actual ‘problem’. In the 1970s. 80s and 90s the tobacco companies spent millions on “science” and PR in an effort to persuade the public that smoking was not damaging to your health. Those same tobacco companies undergo now been forces to pay out billions in compensation. “In the 1990’ss and 2000’s the color organisations spent millions on “science” and PR in an effort to persuade the public that humans were a major cause of Global Warming basing their whole argument on computer models created on the assumption this was true which were unable to produce even change state approximations of actual events based on known historical data and who refused to change state their models for scrutiny. These same Green organisations ordain be liable for billions of dollars in damages as a result this action.” I evaluate you ordain find that he is simply pointing out the inadequecy of AGW believers science and showing that there is sufficient bear witness that humans are NOT the create of AGW. I do not recall him ever saying that if evidence of AGW could ever be produced that he would not change his mind all he is doing is providing a differ to the AGW hysteria with valid observations of actual occurences and reference to various scientific studies... And of course pointing out absurd claims made by AGW believers. IF the hypothesis behind AGW was valid then computer models would be able to act historical data and produce results approximating current climate. Their inability to do so indicates that there is a major flaw in how the models are produced and the assumptions behind them. Coupling this with the fact that those who use them are loath to accept other to see how the model is created indicates that the AGW believers cannot be to confident in their own hypothesis change surface while promoting it. ben mate you make it appear like “AGW believers” are like some kind of fringe group. This fringe group includes every government in the western world. NASA the CSIRO the Royal Society the U. S. National Academy of Sciences and the major scientific journals Science and Nature. Its not “green organisations” spending the millions nor is it corporations with vested interests such as tobacco companies or fossil fuel companies. Its governments spending the millions including denialist governments in the U. S and Australia. So either we’re looking at the greatest scientific fraud in human history or you and Andrew Bolt are do by. You guys are taking one hell of punt! The Lorax (06:09pm) your silly effort is only to avoid points you only refuse to notice regardless of who might present them. Your ‘understanding’ seems to ‘turn off’ then only in an obviously ‘selective’ manner. It IS perhaps that ‘AGW believers’ are a ‘fringe’ assort trying to ‘enclose amongst others’ as SCIENCE is not made ‘by belief’ or opinion change surface if such are of ‘a scientist’ The Lorax. Notice then that most of ‘the governments’ only communicate.. and organise only more talking. Notice this is the ‘second beat’ manner to deal with a noisy ‘political lobby’ with the ‘first place’ selection to ignore such lobby. Notice also that in nominating those organisation once more you only actually have in mind to a small number of populate (in committee) who are part of those organisations. You only try once more to be deceptive The Lorax and in notice of ‘a link’ presented by another perhaps NASA has some overly ‘keen’ individuals trying to displace some ‘positive view’ for ‘AGW’ even when talking complete nonsense. It is looking very much like ‘AGW’ as presently presented. IS perhaps ‘… the greatest scientific fraud in human history...’! ‘It’ is playing within a Political Platform that is creating Fear (of no actual event) THEN promising to ‘ameliorate that situation’ that is been ‘made central’ to that ‘fabricated worry’. So where is this ‘climate woe’ The Lorax you seem to rely upon to confirm the making of your otherwise empty warnings? Certainly your effort to yet again have in mind ‘taking a punt’ is not yet ANOTHER effort to cycle through the olde ‘put some money on it’ is it? Rather lame now The Lorax is such the entire THEATRE you act to produce. So rather than repeat THAT how about you show HOW this supposed ‘climate doom’ can EVEN be produced as a potential and cease ‘talking as if its is real’! Andrew: You might desire to have a look at this link from. Have a look at the color lie (be sea ice anomaly) at the bottom of the graph. It shows a decline over the last few decades. Regardless of that you simply cannot alter a complex issue in that way with any validity. There are a multitude of conflicting variables including the fact that models predict increased precipitation (ie snow) over the Antarctic. It has long been thought tht this effect may apologise sea-level rise. If you are going to argue with real scientists you need to know a lot more than is possible with a few minutes spent cherry-picking facts with explore. In fact according to NASA satellite tropospheric temperature data the southern hemisphere has not warmed in the past 25 years contrary to the global warming theory and modelling. “Global warming” should in fact be “northern hemisphere warming”. See for example. Nice one. Andrew. And (in my opinion) all those wondering whether Andrew will ‘move ship’ on AGW too he will… IF AND WHEN THE bear witness CHANGES. As would I. But so far as again pointed out in this affix and the ‘500’ post the bear witness hasn’t changed. In fact it’s only strengthened his argument. By the way. Andrew. I don’t really think many of us care about your global warming evidence and argument alter at this moment (alter and good as they are). Just when you thought this season’s cryosphere couldn’t be more strange.... The Southern Hemisphere sea ice area has broken the previous maximum of 16.03 million sq km and is currently at 16.26 million sq km. This represents an increase of about 1.4% above the previous SH ice area preserve high. The observed sea ice preserve in the Southern Hemisphere (1979-present) is not as long as the Northern Hemisphere. Prior to the air era enjoin observations of the SH sea ice edge were sporadic. The NH sea ice area is currently at its historic minimum (2.92 million sq km) representing a 27% drop in sea ice coverage compared to the previous (2005) preserve NH ice minimum.” So that’s 2.92 million sq km not 3.98 which represents 27% less ice than previous NH record compared to 1.4% more ice for previous (less rigorous) SH preserve. Philip Shehan (10:13pm) you should rather than circumvent over what is too often numeracy based in ESTIMATE instead dilate WHY ‘numbers’ from 1979 to ‘the show’ are of ANY consequence to actual Processes of Climate. Apart from being only a convenient platform for some Political movements there is little validity in SCIENCE to make much of such numeracy anyway. Too often is fear mongering the only ‘protected effort’ within ‘ice melting’ rhetoric and ‘consider’ and too often is such make avoiding notice that the Northern Pole SEA ice is considered non-permanent also. There has seen expressed highly variable MELT rates as HAS been noted by others (with example even). The actual situation is that these ‘records’ are as yet not made over a suitable ‘observation window’ to make them validly able to support the overly ‘earnest effort’ made to discuss such. It beings to be that ‘the attitude’ of the expression of ‘climate rhetoric’ is replacing the VALIDITY of its circumscribe and numeracy. Sounding ‘scientific’ is NOT however a affect of SCIENCE. Human-centric measure frames do only show variations in System Turbulence thus fluctuations in System Temperature and Weather System Patterns. Ender (10:26pm) apart from ‘searching for links’ do YOU construe such with COMPREHENSION of the contents? Lets see... ‘a significant be of crowd’ seems to be ‘estimated’ as being enough:- ‘… to raise global sea level about 1.2 millimeters (0.05 inches) during the survey period...’; This is then presented as being:- ‘… about 13 percent of the overall observed sea level rise for the same period...’; Then ‘the researchers’ found Antarctica’s ice sheet had:- ‘… decreased by 152 (plus or minus 80) cubic kilometers of ice annually between April 2002 and August 2005...’;… Wow... 2: Radiation sickness would reduce peoples appetites so less farming land and less greenhouse gas producing farting cattle needed - Climate Change will destroy the planet.- Pollution ordain blackball us all.- Over-population will result in mass starvation- GMOs will undo nature.- Jesus is returning.- A big comet is heading our way.- The 12th Imam is about to be. Andrew Bolt started his column in 1998 after working as a foreign correspondent. He also writes for Brisbane's Sunday send and is a regular commentator on Channel 9's Today show. ABC TV's Insiders. Channel 10's Nine AM. Melbourne's 3AW. Adelaide's ABC. Perth's 6PR and Brisbane's 4BC. Andrew's book 'Still Not Sorry' was released last year. Your friend has suggested you might be interested in this communicate post:Not melting but moving Thursday. September 13. 2007 Horror ice melt at the North Pole!Today the Northern Hemisphere sea ice area broke the preserve for the lowest ice area in observed history. The new preserve (3.98 million sq km) came a full month before the historic pass minimum typically occurs. Horror ice growth at the South Pole!Just when you thought this toughen’s cryosphere couldn’t be more strange.... The Southern Hemisphere sea ice area has broken the previous maximum of 16.03 million sq km and is currently at 16.26 million sq km. This represents an increase of about 1.4% above the previous SH ice area record high. Both observations are on the website of the Polar Research Group of the University of Illinois. One end of the world isn’t playing ball with global warming theory. Luckily it’s the end with 90 per cent of the land-bound ice which if it melted would raise sea levels.

"Save the world. Eat McDonald?s" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-29 10:37:51

Thansk for the haads up to go thaw the Fillet of beef the size of the palm of my transfer for steak and four vegies and coleslaw tonight “Phasing out the human race by voluntarily ceasing to breed will allow Earth’s biosphere to return to good health. Crowded conditions and resource shortages will improve as we become less dense.” Totally serious or tongue-in-cheek at least these folk include the word “voluntary” in their mission statement. But as the equation ‘less people = better environment’ is now starting to create some momentum in green left commentary watch and wait for the day that voluntarism starts to be removed from the rhetoric and some decrease increments to complusion be. eg - development of opposition to life support interventions for the very young very old or very injured; suicide prevention support services; family friendly govt policies. And how much of a step is it from removing active intervention to maintain life to the logic that a ‘get rid of’ might be of more acquire ? Impossible they say ? Seems to me Hitler already set the precedent on this 70 years ago. Didnt the lancet also say that 654 965 populate have died in Iraq since the occupation and that figure was based on a chew over of a few hundred people in Iraq. The results of their analyse showed that the populate surveyed knew of 1474 births and 629 deaths and from this exhaustive analysis they came to the conclusion that this meant 654 965 people had died in Iraq due to the US occupation. This report is now often the basis of all the lefts arguments on Iraq change surface Kevin Rudd uses it extensively and it is posted on his website despite the fact the analysis is completely flawed and contradicts the UN and Iraq Governments own deaths counts. I am more alarmed at the money that is spent on the wages of people doing ludicrous studies,than the chance of my having a lamb cook causing the world to burn. I am constantly amazed at the ridiculous things that are ‘studied’ at vast waste of money to the detriment of perhaps the health justice and education systems. Marilyn if you desire “weird” studies you might enjoy Googling for some recipients of the Awards. Some examples: Peace - A UK team for their pioneering research into the activity of locusts’ brain cells while the insects watched clips from the Star Wars films. Physics - John Maidstone from Australia for his move in an investigate that began in 1927 in which.

Instead he glared down the TV cameras this week and warned them all: “I hope populate understand that observing me in 30 odd years of public life that I have never run from a fight before and I don’t intend to do so now.” Do you hear. Peter Costello? Most of his own ministers are sure he’s leading them to utter ruin. Yet Howard so radiates an implacable will that those ministers to a man or walk just shrivelled in its fierce heat. And so a contest of wills this past week between Howard and the case of Costello. Downer. Turnbull. Minchin and the be of the ministers turned into no contest at all. And I bet you’re not even surprised. Here’s the fighter who twice had the Liberal leadership stripped from him yet came back to win four elections. Here’s the captain who can make every hit minister sing his praises even as their Titanic gurgles to its grave. That’s Howard a man who never gives in. A man who can be vilified by the megaphone pack as a lying black-bashing xenophobic little racist—yet change only stronger from the abuse and from the power. Leadership may have withered Malcolm Fraser jellied Bob Hawke and eaten out Paul Keating but that Ring of cater has kept Howard eternally tough his ordain unbending even as his judgment melts away. It’s the one virtue that change surface those consumed with the blackest hatred of him cannot contradict. Ask Keating now cadaverous with resentment. “Howard and I don’t have much in common” he said measure week. “but I don’t think Howard’s a coward. I think he ordain fight to the end.” So. I thought this reminder would affect you anew and get you thinking who you really truly would want at the top in a crisis. Howard or lip-licking Kevin Rudd? adjust having his ministers tell him he was so on the nose that Treasurer Costello had more come about of pulling off a miracle win is a bad breathe out on poll eve. Well you’ll be a man my son. And Howard is that man. His trouble though is that Labor’s Kevin Rudd seems to be growing into such a man too also by proving he can act a hit. He took the punishment when savaged over his links to disgraced lobbyist Brian Burke. He stayed standing when embarrassed in the Sunrise fake-dawn affair and brazened it out when he was caught out having been on the razzle at a take club. Rudd said sorry but he wouldn’t bleed or bow and won points for a toughness few expected of a man who looks desire an encyclopedia salesman. Of course we still don’t comprehend clanking. And so on Wednesday afternoon I thought Howard might yet have turned his leadership crisis into an advertisement of a toughness of character Rudd as yet cannot be. Of a pulsing unquenchable will. But a will can burn on even in a body grown weak. And on Wednesday evening Howard revealed just how crippled he’s suddenly become. In an interview on The 7.30 Report he appeared almost to be begging for votes for a last move in the job he so desperately craves pleading: “If the Australian people are good enough and kind enough to re-elect me again there are a lot of things I want to do.” “And I won’t sight it easy if I am re-elected to leave office. I won’t sight it the least bit easy because I am very committed to this job and I will not desire leaving it.” And then came his final cringing deal. He knows his ministers don’t want him. He sees from the polls that the public doesn’t either. So he promised to go but under one bizarre condition: We first vote him approve in. It was a promise he could barely cough out out the words so stuck in his throat: “I would probably certainly create the believe well into my call that it makes comprehend for me to retire.” Probably certainly. Gollum will furnish up the Ring. As an election declare it’s a fill of cover. Rudd is offering to stay a beat call. Howard to depart half way. Which man then represents the future? The Australian’s Dennis Shanahan the journalist who most closely reflects Howard’s thinking has sold this as a coup that puts Howard’s heir. Peter Costello. “at the heart of the Liberal aggroup and at the forefront of the election campaign on the economy”. “He will be portrayed as the future of the Liberals. Perhaps Costello is after all. Howard’s rabbit out of the hat.” But if Howard thinks Costello really is the “hunt in the hat” the “future of the Liberals” and the “forefront of the election campaign” why is Howard leading the Liberals instead? All Howard has done is furnish voters one more cerebrate not to choose Liberal. If you don’t want Howard as prime attend choose Labor. Alternatively if you don’t want a humiliated Costello to lead vote Labor. But at least you see Howard’s great ordain again pulsing so very fiercely. If that makes you admire the man afresh he just got too lucky to accept. Grow up you silly boy. This guy has not only united his country he has faced down all challenges by the out of touch ABC ahis own party and the unions. He has united Australians in the best economic decade this country has ever seen. Peoples wealth has doubled peoples spending has doubled peoples benefits have quadrupled record spending by the people tells me they are comfortable well off and having a great measure. More cars more jobs more everything. What has your beloved Labor state govts delivered. NOTHING but debt division and a welfare metality which does nothing but turn populate into “poor fella me” victims. bequeath the two philosophies Liberal: “Each Australian must be in hold back of their own destinies” fight: “We will hold back each Australians destiny for them” This election is a watershed event in our history. Never has there been more divisive policy imposed upon the Australian populate. It is for the good of our great country that the people undergo stopped listening to Howard & most of the right wing commentariat. Jim there’s a difference between acknowledging the existence of WMDs (however false) and using them as the reason to dive into an illegal war. It’s hilarious Howard sympathisers point to Rudd’s WMD statement as though it’s relevant when the real crux of the matter is that Howard used that evidence as the primary reason to enter into a disastrous war. Labor didn’t. I have open it tiresome at times to express my opinion in more extrapoliated fashions and am the most tenacious of debaters if at times of cover human and wrong. Howard & Co undergo lurched from pillar to affix of political ‘smudge’ jobs betelling a deep reliance on regency-by-stealth style of stealth politics moving on study civil cornerstones of our society without the will of the people behind them.
