Colin,

I really do not know about "alarmist propaganda"...........

What I do know is that the earths tempature fluctuates and we certinally appear to be in a warming trend. How much of this is caused by man and how much is natural, I do not know.

Same folks say it is mostly caused by man, I'm pritty sure that is wrong.

Some folks say man has no effect, I'm pritty sure that is wrong.

As we do not know, I have a real problem with those who say its all man and with those who deny man has any effect. Pete when you say that "bullocks, glaciers are getting bigger, I have a very hard time taking you seriously. To folks like LB, who say its all just a commi conspiracy...............look at the photos!!!!!


Mark,

This is post #118 Dec, 2011 this thread!

Pete,

If your point is that Governments will try and use data to as you say "tax the shit out of us", that may be, but thats not what I'm talking about. What I'm talking about is the obvious fact that the earth is warming.

You posted a long rant, implying that there is no global warming.....................and the post said things like Greenland is cooling.

That is just not true. I really do not know why the earth is warming and neither do you and neither does anyone else.

But it is warming and to post missleading data like that, is disingenuous and you will be called on it.

Mark, this is also from 2011, Post #156 this thread.


Say Mark, tell us more about "Despicable, lies"
 
Ok, you called me on this Jim. Fair enough. I will however, require some time to go back through it all. If, after having done so, I am found to be wrong, I will be the first to offer an apology and make a retraction.

Here are more photos showing receeding glaciers.

These photos along with tons of scientific data show the obvious fact that the earth is in a warming cycle. The cause of this warming is not known. Some will say it is entirely natural, some will say is entirely caused by man and somewill say it is a little of both.

The truth is that nobody knows.

Anyone who says its entirely natural does not know what they are talking about.

Anyone who says its entirely caused by man does not know what they are talking about.

But anyone who says it is not warming is wrong!


The title of this thread, Global cooling warming hoax, is crap!

Say Bob, are these photos part of your HOAX?

Mark, this is also from 2011.

Pete,

I'm afraid you will have to put this one down to your memory.

No change in attitude here........

You may be remembering me strongly stating the the world is warming. I have long argued that glaciers are receding, the ice caps are diminishing and the earth is warming, the cause, be it natural, man made or a little of both, I do not know, you do not know and Al Gore does not know.

I posted the above in a discussion with Pete. Pete had implied that I had changed my views on global warming.

Mark them jumped in with the following, which is not only rude beyond belief, buy totally untrue......


Oh my god, I just almost threw up my breakfast!

Despicable, lies!

If you can't be honest about things Jim, shut the fuck up.


Mark then posted this, if proved wrong: "I will be the first to offer an apology and make a retraction".........

Well Mark, its been over 30 hours............

I'm still waiting......

OK, let's consider the physical evidence.

The moon is moving away at a tiny, although measurable distance from the Earth every year.

Do the maths and you will clearly see that 85 million years ago it was orbiting the earth at a distance of about 35 feet from the earth's surface. This would explain the death of the dinosaurs; the tallest ones, anyway.:idea:

Jim

Can I ask a question or two?

What line of business are you in?
Are you receiving funding for research into this "debatable" area? (Call it climare change, global warming or whatever?)

I also stated clearly, that I would require time to go back over all the various posts on this subject, Jim.

However, you could not wait and began re-posting some of your previous posts instead.

Well, with a life (of sorts), I have not completed my referencing of the post history on this subject and you seem to think 30 hours is sufficient.

Therefore I will retract my posts, if you prefer and revisit the subject soon. I am not ready to apologize, but I can either delete them, or leave them up, what is your pleasure?

I will say, that if I have not responded one way or other by the end of the week, then I should expect to offer a full apology, as it would seem unfair to either expect an indefinite time, or conversely, be expected to meet your inadequate timetable either. How does that sound?

No one here on the anti-MMGW side, has ever to my knowledge, suggested or argued, that the climate is not changing Jim. Most of us have gone to the trouble to show you a picture of the SUN, or to explain how a slight alteration in the rotational axis of the Earth is the reason for seasons, the changes thereof and weather patterns in general.

Mark,

Pete and a few others have always maintained that there is absolutly no global warming, just ask him!

Pete then implied that I had changed my views, he though like you that at one time I argued that man was responsible for global warming.

I told Pete that he was mistaken, my view has always been that no one knows what is responsible for the warming, but it is warming.

********************

Now Mark read my post and without taking even a few seconds to go back over the posts in this thread...........If he had he would have seen many, many posts as far back as 2011 where I said just that.

But no, Mark did not take a few seconds to check, he posted this:

That incredabley rude post it totally untrue.


Now once again I demand a retraction and an appology!

********

You took seconds to slander me but want days to decide if you should appologize........

Bull Shit!

Time won't help Mark, my views have not changed!


Time to be a man Mark!

Jim your memory is failing, I have never said their is no such thing as global warming, I have always said that the science was flawed and those scientists that were deniers lost their grants. I have always said the climate is always changing, it's called weather.
I have said that global warming is bullshit based on the now proven flawed computer modelling by the IPCC .
The globe has been cooling for the last 17 years BTW. I believe that that is the normal cycle of weather.
I have always said that we should stop pollution wherever possible.
Start with China, India and Indonesia.
And don't try and redistribute wealth by taxing all of us based on flawed computer modelling.
 
This is our problem Jim: Neither Pete, Larry, nor I, have ever said that the climate doesn't, or isn't changing. You frequently offer claimed evidence to support global warming, with the odd little comment (as indicated in your quotes above) sometimes attached, to leave your exit door open. Sadly the main bulk of your posts however, to me at least, have always come across very pro MMGW. So you obviously think you come across all open-minded on the subject. In which case, I fear I am not alone in having mis-read your opinion? I tend not to argue so avidly against opinions that reflect my own, yet I must have got this one very wrong indeed!

I apologize unreservedly for saying this, "Despicable, lies! If you can't be honest about things Jim, shut the fuck up". I over-reacted to you accusing me and others of being delusional.

If you are indeed, so open to the real causes of our climates' ever-changing nature, then I fear I may owe you more apologies for many more insults and counter-insults between us in the past?

You are still arguing about the Argument.

Here it is in black & white. Simplified for the Paddock...

Hopefully we can all accept that there was some extremely dodgy science to begin with which has now been discredited.

"Global Warming" - A term now widely discredited.

"Climate Change" - Generally accepted term for unusual weather events.

Now the scope of the 'conflict' This is now the accepted area of dispute (if any).

Mans Role in:

a) the Cause (of Climate Change) and
b) the Cure (or Control of Climate Change"
)


Side A of the argument has said that Man is to blame - disputed by Side B

Side A says that the main component in Climate Change is CO2 Emissions by Man - disputed by Side B.

Side A maintains that Man CAN control climate change or at least slow it down - disputed by Side B.

Side A stipulates that by a series of punitive taxes it can 'encourage' producers and citizens to be eco friendly and thus slow down or eradicate Climate Change. Disputed by Side B.

Side B position is that Climate Change is the natural cycle of the Earth and that anything Man has done or can do is but a pinprick, but that there should be some consensus on a less wasteful approach Industrial and Domestic consumption of fossil fuels and the generation of waste.

Quite how far Side B is prepared to go in order to fulfill a 'greener' approach has never been expounded, in fact neither side has been particularly specific, depending mostly on rhetoric to force an argument, plus it would seem to me that nobody can prove anything either way. It's just a concept.



Seconds out......


Edit: Graphs and pie charts will now be essential to support any theories.

In the meantime, as Al has pointed out, the Chinese are marching up your high street!

Pete, you posted this, you not mean it?

FACT: Accurate satellite, balloon and mountain top observations made over the last three decades have not shown any significant change in the long term rate of increase in global temperatures. Average ground station readings do show a mild warming of 0.6 to 0.8Cover the last 100 years, which is well within the natural variations recorded in the last millennium. The ground station network suffers from an uneven distribution across the globe; the stations are preferentially located in growing urban and industrial areas ("heat islands"), which show substantially higher readings than adjacent rural areas ("land use effects").

Yes Cliff, change is happining, we just do not know what the cause is.

You know for sure, no one knows for sure and credibility suffers.

Jim, you're absolutely right.....we don't have 100% definitive and conclusive proof that the current climate change trend is man-made. However, we have a LOT of smart scientists who generally, on balance, agree that is a man-made phenomenon. Of course, there are a few scientists who say it isn't but, again, on balance, the overall and general consensus is that it is.

That's good enough for me, but a person (including me) doesn't have to be a scientist to make an informed conclusion here. Just use common sense. Yes, there has been climate change in the past as a result of natural phenomenon (ie. not man-made), but that climate change has happened for the most part at a very gradual rate (tens of thousands of years) except for a couple more rapid changes which appear to coincide with the arrival of a major meteor landing. As far as I know, no major meteors have touched down on planet earth in the last 100 or so years other than the relatively minor ones in Russia in 2013 and 1908, neither of which appear to be sufficient size to cause climate change.

So what does that leave? Man. Specifically, the staggering amount of environmental damage left by man over the last 100 years or so.

People are naturally inclined to stick their heads in the sand when it comes to facing something unpleasant. It was the same with facing the threat of Third Reich in the 30's...most chose to ignore it and hope it would go away....until it was too late.

We would be best to stop squabbling about who's fault it is, or what's causing it....and just get on with leading cleaner and more environmentally friendly lives.
