Good News: Lower Climate Sensitivity to CO2

Posted By Rod Kaufman

Hmm, where to begin?
Let's start with the obvious. Even the author of the openly-biased website acknowledges nobody ought to draw conclusions from a snippet derived from a paper. For example, the fact that a particular author(s) in the link publishes a study doesn't mean, by any stretch of the imagination, that such a study is a definitive word on anything. To wit:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-15858603
and:
http://climate.yale.edu/publications/climate-sensitivity-constrained-co2-concentrations-over-past-420-million-years-0
So to state that anything has, in fact, been debunked here is sheer folly...

And here's more science

Posted By Rod Kaufman

Oh please, I'm more interested in what some ex-Argonauts from NOAA ahave to say about all of this. NOAA has to be overlooking some empirical evidence somewhere given the fact that everybody knows we're entering another ice age. You won't believe the truth until the polar cap busts through own home and pushes it up to the top of Mt Pinos! And if you're looking for your scopes, get a clue: they're under a glacier! So what if global warming predicts more snow fall because the polar caps are melting and there's more water vapor in the air to condense and form more rain and snow. And never mind the oceans absorbing more heat and expanding in the process. After all, the hydrological cycle never had it so good!

1000+ Papers Supporting AGW Skeptic Arguments

Posted By Rod Kaufman

Dave Snope said:

Here is a useful resource: A list of over 1000 papers. They seem to come out almost every day, but it's awfully nice of someone to compile them into an organized list with links.

Preface: The following papers support skeptic arguments against Anthropogenic Climate Change (ACC), Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW) or ACC/AGW Alarm.

Counting Method: Only Peer-Reviewed papers are counted. Supplemental papers; Addendums, Comments, Corrections, Erratum, Rebuttals, Replies, Responses, and Submitted papers are not counted but listed as references in defense of various papers. There are many more listings than just the over 1000 counted papers,

Criteria for Inclusion: All counted papers must be peer-reviewed, published in a peer-reviewed journal and support a skeptic argument against ACC/AGW or ACC/AGW Alarm.

Criticisms: All criticisms of this list have been refuted or a change made to correct the issue. Please see the notes following the list for defenses of common criticisms.


THE LIE:
"There was a massive study of every scientific article in a peer reviewed article written on global warming in the last ten years. They took a big sample of 10 percent, 928 articles. And you know the number of those that disagreed with the scientific consensus that we’re causing global warming and that is a serious problem out of the 928: Zero."

- Al Gore,

The 900 claim was refuted a year or so ago. Now this stuff.
Take a closer look, Dave:
