Confirmed: Mainstream Media Outlets Working Together To Set Climate Agenda

But it's a news article about media coverage, not a scientific study about climate change.

Are you denying that you base your opinion about global warming mostly on what you read in WattsUp?
No, He also skims OTHER junkscience conspiracy blogs for silly cartoon memes and dishonest out-of-context quote mines that he can mindlessy parrot. Not just WUWT.

So we're looking at an obvious agenda here- to brainwash the uninformed public based on an unproven hypothesis and hyperbolic apocalyptic predictions that the world is somehow going to end if the average temperature goes up by less than 2 degrees. And of course the lemmings are going to lap this up.

What's the incentive of scientists to mislead the public about climate change? What would they have to gain?
 
Oh FFS; words cannot express how disappointed I am with your utter disregard of decades of scientific research. WTF, do you have a self-published book about how humans affecting climate change are basically destroying the planet is some kind of partisan myth? I see no other reason why an intelligent individual who has survived decades with increasingly polluted oceans and drinking water, along with the massive destruction of global ice, rising sea levels, extinction of thousands of land and sea creatures, and the imminent inundation of thousands of miles of coastal land mass around the globe could possibly pretend that "there's nothing to see here, move along."

Humans are destroying this planet. If you don't care, for whatever reason, your grandchildren's and great-grandchildren's generation certainly will care, because they very well may represent that last generation of human beings on what will eventually be a completely dead planet. What on god's green earth do you personally get out of this utterly indefensible propaganda platitude? The mind boggles. Do you believe that as long as you get what you want during your lifetime that the lives of those who come after you no longer matter, because you won't be around to care? I just can't wrap my mind around something so selfish and narcissistic.
Perhaps he has a need to believe he is “smart” and can “think for himself”- by mindlessly swallowing and regurgitating the same old scientifically illiterate crap and conspiracy rubbish from junkscience conspiracy blogs that every other Climate Truther sheep does.
 
Yes all the links you post are bull****. Its pretty sad if you don’t know the difference between evidence-based science reports and The Onion. And very dishonest if you do.

Are your ideological beliefs threatened by climate science? Is that why you need to keep yourself as ignorant of climate science as possible and why you seem to be on a zealous crusade to convince others to not read any of the major science reports and stay as ignorant and misinformed as you are?

Or are you just a troll posting bull**** for the giggles?
 
A good book needs to be written that covers all the reasons why there is skepticism about the claims made concerning Climate Change. Predictions that haven’t come true, scenarios that don’t make sense, re- written historical data, silencing of opposing viewpoints, and obvious propaganda.
They’ve already been plenty of crap books written by science deniers making dishonest scientifically illiterate conspiracy claims. Its the same crap found on the junkscience conspiracy blogs you love. Don’t you already have enough bed time reading?
 
Please don't make me think you're really that stupid.
Climate Truther tactic #1 - Create lame dishonest strawmen arguments to attack.
 
Youre basically arguing with a bunch of fanatics who will not listen to reason. Their minds are set (even though they have no idea what it is theyre supposed to believe in) and nothing will sway them, just like Al Qeda.
Climate Truther tactic #3 - Projecting their own behaviour/characteristics on to others.

First off, no one is misleading anyone! There is a large defined range expected ECS from doubling the CO2 level,
and then there are emission scenarios. Combining the top end of the ECS range with the highest emission scenario,
can produce alarming results. It does not mean that the predictions are realistic, but only that they fall within the large
error bar.
If you are an nontenured professor, chasing grants, you frame your results the way you think the grant reviewers are looking for.
They teach graduate level classes on how to apply for, win and continue to win grants.
If the reviewers want to see results that appear to support the climate consensus, the uncertainty is wide enough to allow
that interpretation.

LMAO 3 straight replies one minute after the other and composed of nothing but childish insults. Thanks for proving my point. :lamo

Climate Truther tactic #4 - making delusional claims that have no basis in realty to try to save face.

The Conversation has signed up to something called Covering Climate Now – a special week of climate change coverage, supported by more than 170 media outlets who are disturbed by the fact that no-one in the media is talking about climate change. They’ve started off with a bang today with this article by digital editor … Contin

Looks like a taser event to me!
 
Um, nope.

Highest ever temp recorded was in Death Valley... in 1913. That hasnt been broken.

Highest temperature recorded on Earth - Wikipedia

Major hurricanes are... less frequent:

Don't Believe The Global Warmists, Major Hurricanes Are Less Frequent


So.... it seems you are being lied to since facts are facts. Lemmings get led, while intelligent people look at the facts before passing judgment. Which one are you?

Tens of thousands of scientists that have devoted their career to studying this: "Global hurricane intensity and quantity, as well a precipitation from these storms will rise with climate change."

Conspiracy Theorist Rebuttal: "Well here's a 7 year old opinion article from a magazine about investing showing that you're wrong!"

Seriously?

Actually, the rebuttal is the data.


Figure: Global Hurricane Frequency (all & major) -- 12-month running sums. The top time series is the number of global tropical cyclones that reached at least hurricane-force (maximum lifetime wind speed exceeds 64-knots). The bottom time series is the number of global tropical cyclones that reached major hurricane strength (96-knots+). Adapted from Maue (2011) GRL.

So you didn't post a 7 year old opinion article in your response?

That’s actually a more fact filled retort than one usually gets from PoS.

Actually no. The science is solid. It's called educating the public. That's their job.
