One reason liberals are idiots when it comes to global warming

  3. Oh come on, I'm sure you can provide "proof" from an anonymous poster on some web forum somewhere that I am immoral. Apparently it's all you need for it to qualify as a fact since you are so gullible.

    Once again you quote a biased proclamation from an organization while failing to note that a significant majority of APS members protested and resigned, including Nobel-prize winners and APS Fellows, when the American Physical Society put forward this statement on global warming.

    An Open Letter to the Council of the American Physical Society

    As physicists who are familiar with the science issues, and as current and past members of the American Physical Society, we the undersigned urge the Council to revise its current statement* on climate change as follows, so as to more accurately represent the current state of the science:

    Greenhouse gas emissions, such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide, accompany human industrial and agricultural activity. While substantial concern has been expressed that emissions may cause significant climate change, measured or reconstructed temperature records indicate that 20th and 21st century changes are neither exceptional nor persistent, and the historical and geological records show many periods warmer than today. In addition, there is an extensive scientific literature that examines beneficial effects of increased levels of carbon dioxide for both plants and animals.

    Studies of a variety of natural processes, including ocean cycles and solar variability, indicate that they can account for variations in the Earth’s climate on the time scale of decades and centuries. Current climate models appear insufficiently reliable to properly account for natural and anthropogenic contributions to past climate change, much less project future climate.

    The APS supports an objective scientific effort to understand the effects of all processes—natural and human—on the Earth’s climate and the biosphere’s response to climate change, and promotes technological options for meeting challenges of future climate changes, regardless of cause.

    * The statement of the APS Council, adopted on November 18, 2007 is as follows:

    Emissions of greenhouse gases from human activities are changing the atmosphere in ways that affect the Earth’s climate. Greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide as well as methane, nitrous oxide and other gases. They are emitted from fossil fuel combustion and a range of industrial and agricultural processes.

    The evidence is incontrovertible: Global warming is occurring. If no mitigating actions are taken, significant disruptions in the Earth’s physical and ecological systems, social systems, security and human health are likely to occur. We must reduce emissions of greenhouse gases beginning now.

    Because the complexity of the climate makes accurate prediction difficult, the APS urges an enhanced effort to understand the effects of human activity on the Earth’s climate, and to provide the technological options for meeting the climate challenge in the near and longer terms. The APS also urges governments, universities, national laboratories and its membership to support policies and actions that will reduce the emission of greenhouse gases.

    Your morals most likely align with your complete lack of integrity when dealing with scientific facts.

    Can a retarded parrot who re-posts the same fabricated nonsense over and over again.... actually have a moral compass?

  6. Look, I've already proven that you are liar. Why don't you shut the fuck up moron. An insignificantly small number of rightwing douchebags quit the APS over this. That's all.

    The 99.9% of them remaining stand behind this statement.

    "The evidence is incontrovertible: Global warming is occurring. If no mitigating actions are taken, significant disruptions in the Earth’s physical and ecological systems, social systems, security and human health are likely to occur. We must reduce emissions of greenhouse gases beginning now."

  7. Fuck you asshole. There is NOTHING fabricated about the facts I present. You however are now a known liar who posts lies and deceptions. Fuck you.

    Try this "fabricated chart" asshole. From NOAA.

    As has been outlined many times the proper before, the proper and accepted way to graph ocean heat content is 10^24 joules, not in a scale of 10^22 (which is just a way of creating misguided alarm).

    The temperature of the ocean has only changed 0.06 degrees since 1960. Why don't you provide a graph with the scale in degrees C of the change in ocean temperature since 1960? You know, the way ARGO provides the data.

    Why don't you go to their previous and current membership rolls to validate your absurd statement.

    Are the hundreds of scientists, including Nobel prize winners and over 30% of the APS Fellows, who supported the dissenting letter and resigned - just a group of "rightwing douchebags"? I will note that most are registered Democrats.

    Nobel Laureate Dr. Ivar Giaever: 'The temperature (of the Earth) has been amazingly stable, and both human health and happiness have definitely improved in this 'warming' period.'

    Here is the real chart from ARGO - the service that measures the temperatures in the oceans globally.
