they predicted that the earth temp would be 2 degrees hotter then when they made that perdition it only risen by .7 degrees and it has stopped
I don't know any skeptics who don't think the climate is changing
The discussion is human involvement, in general, and Co2 in particular.
In the normal course of things, Humanity can survive the warming we are likely to see.Do you realize how narrow-minded your thinking really is? :lamo
So, all science ever done is suspect, rocket88?
Read Cook's abstract, that's not what it says.Really? I can point out a bunch here at DP. :lamo
It's no longer a discussion. 98% of climate scientists agree that climate change is due to human involvement.
It has not stopped. We are getting hotter all of the time.

The figures reveal that from the beginning of 1997 until August 2012 there was no discernible rise in aggregate global temperatures
This means that the ‘pause’ in global warming has now lasted for about the same time as the previous period when temperatures rose, 1980 to 1996
Global warming stopped 16 years ago, reveals Met Office report quietly released... and here is the chart to prove it | Mail Online

Because the negative effects of climate change, if on the extreme end, are devastating and will impoverish and kill millions of people and deracinate our economy.
Given the terrible nature of the risk, wise people act prudently to avoid it, even if the risk itself isn't certain.
It goes without saying that tea party knownothings aren't wise.
All the ski resorts in Georgia are gone (I recently lived there for 11 years). The ski resort on the other side of the mountain from my Upstate NY farm (about a half mile from my property line) hasn't run the lifts in years. Now they just lease the main building out for weekend concerts for local bands and have a paid bar. Last winter we got 250 inches of snow and the year before that we got maybe 30. Anyone who says the global weather patterns are not shifting is a window licker with a football helmet on backwards, sitting at the back of a short yellow bus. We can argue all day long as to what the causes are for climate changes (man made vs natural), but this rock is hurling through ice cold space and there are definitely evolving weather patterns on it just like there are on Jupiter or any other planet in this universe with an atmosphere. I think it's kind of funny that folks think some computer program can model how patterns on a planet happen with any degree of accuracy. Maybe in a few thousand years after we get to other solar systems and start seeing macro trends instead of one micro trend. Windows 8 barely runs right half the time; and yet we think some software on Windows 8 is suddenly the cat's meow? I'm all for technology; but I'm thinking folks need to realize the stuff has limits. </rant>

And now it's global COOLING! Record return of Arctic ice cap as it grows by 60% in a yearAlmost a million more square miles of ocean covered with ice than in 2012
BBC reported in 2007 global warming would leave Arctic ice-free in summer by 2013
Publication of UN climate change report suggesting global warming caused by humans pushed back to later this month

LOLwhut?!?!?!? I may not be Nostradamus, but I am pretty darn sure the temperatures in USA have been steadily rising and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. I'm also reading that these weather shifts are going to cause agricultural belts in USA to move North.
One year fluctuations don't prove anything about climate.
but a 10 year study can predict the earths temp for the next 100 years

The part you people refuse to even think about is why the models turned out to be incorrect. To you, temperatures falling outside of the model range disproves AGW in of itself. This, of course, is based on fundamental misunderstandings about how climate models work and what their purpose is.
I don't know any skeptics who don't think the climate is changing,
The discussion is human involvement, in general, and Co2 in particular.
So does this mean Conservatives don't 'hate' science any longer? ;
CO2 is a requisite to sustain life on this planet. :doh
How you explain warmer summers and shorter winters, along with way less snow at the ski resorts than back when we were kids? I'm experiencing not only warmer weather than previous decades, but much bigger single snow dumps and gone are the days of consistent snowfall that was needed to run ski resorts. Things are most certainly changing on this planet. And I don't think anyone expected stasis, did they?
So is a lot of other stuff. Oxygen, nitrogen, plants and meats, grains, moderate temperatures, and absence of tornadoes, etc. There is a very delicate balance on this rock.
