Only 20% Think Debate About Global Warming Is Over

I am telling you it is the opposite, the curve is much more weighted at the lower numbers.
Let's go over it one more time,
70 ppm to 140 ppm 1.2 °C (Delta 70 ppm = 1.2 °C)
140 ppm to 280 ppm 1.2 °C (Delta 140 ppm= 1.2 °C)
280ppm to 560 ppm 1.2 °C (Delta 280 ppm= 1.2 °C)
560 ppm to 1120 ppm 1.2 °C (Delta 560 ppm = 1.2 °C)
Within the steps the curve is the same, much more response occurs between
0% and 50%, as occurs between 50% and 100%.
Don't believe me. plot it for your self.
 

When politicians pay for a study, they expect the result to supporr their agenda, or *gasp* they're not going to pay for it.

Do you have proof of that, or just supposition? And does a specific politician pay for it? I'd like to see this objectively studied, if you have that information.
 
Progressive ****s sure love to use "polls" and "studies" to shove **** down people throats - why stop now?

A poll is useful for gauging the populations perspectives and viewpoints. Science isn't a perspective or a viewpoint. It doesn't operate based on how people "feel". Just because a large segment of Americans believe that evolution isn't true doesn't mean anything other than most people prefer to use their religion to explain reality than...well reality.

So yeah...if most Americans believe marriage between a homosexual couple should be supported by law it makes sense for those findings to be used in discussing public policy.

If most American believe the theory of gravity isn't true that doesn't mean public policy should be based on the fact gravity doesn't exist.
 
If its so scientifically accurate, why are scientists faking the evidence?

Are they? The evidence comes from agencies all over the world in a multitude of subject matters. It's pretty universally accepted that the climate is changing, that carbon is a greenhouse gas, and that human kind is pumping a lot of carbon into the air. Those are three basic principles that science has agreed on. In addition, scientist have attempted to rule out other reasons for climate change including the amount of radiation from the sun or long term global climate patterns and have pretty much done so.

If you believe in a widespread global conspiracy among scientist I'm not sure what we have to discuss. There is no amount of evidence anyone can provide you because according to you, all evidence is suspect, all scientist are biased, and anything other than your starting point of "climate change doesn't exist" can easily be explained away using non-scientific facts.
 


Here's why ...
 
When politicians pay for a study, they expect the result to supporr their agenda, or *gasp* they're not going to pay for it.

They might pay for it. . .BUT. . .the scientist will be disqualified from receiving any more grant monies or contracts. Strong incentive to produce 'evidence' useful to the politicians.
 

If you understand the numbers then you are allowed to draw your own conclusions. That's called freedom and we are correct to do so. If you believe that you should not draw your own conclusions from information you understand but instead only rely upon what you are told to think about them you are unfit to vote or sit on a jury.
 
Why conflate science with religion? Seems a strange tactic when debating science, maybe it is you that is religious about the subject. I am heartbroken though that you think I don't understand science very well. :2bigcry:

To clarify; I find your following of the orthodox view of global warming, or at least the alarmist one, to be religious in nature. I think this because of your unwillingness o draw your own conclusions from information which you say you understand.

Right...they'll give that money to a scientist that will produce the desired result.
 

Yes, they do.
 
That doesn't do it. It doesn't even address the question, not to mention that much of what you post is inaccurate.

You wanted evidence. Care to explain the need to fake the data?

It's not faked. You're just buying a false narrative. But that wasn't what I asked you prove.

Allow me to highlight:

This is what I was getting at in my OP, the fact that people think their casual knowledge of a subject is greater than the best collective minds of the world. If I were a climate scientist with exceptional knowledge and insight in the field I would draw my own conclusions being that I am a master of the subject. However computers are my thing, I have only a cursory knowledge of climate science, only a fool with a limited knowledge of a subject thinks their opinions are likely better than thousands of scientists from the mainstream community.

So let me ask you, are you a lifelong climate scientist? Do you have a Phd in the relevant fields? Have you spent thousands upon thousands of hours reviewing literature, peer reviewed papers? Research? If not what makes you think your opinion or that of longview is anything special? Are you guys secret master climatologists? I seriously doubt it, you're just somebody on a forum with a self appointed rebel ego because you draw your own conclusions.
 

The information has indeed been faked. I just proved it.
 

Yes I know that Co2's effect is halved upon each doubling in concentration.

You are missing the point I'm making though that the emission of Co2 has not been linear, it is an exponential curve. From 1880 to 1980 only ~40ppm of Co2 was emitted, that's over 100 years. The vast majority of the Co2 (~110ppm) has been emitted in the last 30 years.
 
I understand the amount of atmospheric CO2 has increased a lot in the last 30 years,
but that does not change the response curve of CO2, only how fast we are pushing up the curve.
The concept of catastrophic AGW, is based on two factors.
The first is the direct response of CO2, based on observational data in lab experiments.
This is where the 1.2 °C for each doubling comes from.
The second part is based on the concept that feedback from the warming caused from the
direct response, will be amplified to cause between .3 and 3.3 °C of additional warming.
(Yes, their range is a factor of 11 between low and high.)
At more than half way through the response for the first doubling,
We are barely scrapping the low end of the prediction.
 

Answer to your links.

Link 1:

Intersting orgainization the author defends. A organization that have worked for the tobacco company. Who knows who it works for then it comes to global warming? And as I also posted before the oil companies is amongst the richest companies in the world so they can afford to support a lot of organization. Also”climategate” relates to East Anglia e-mai. I already posted a link to it and I do it again, lower down in my post.

Yes they was a fault in one paraph in a report with over 900 pages. But it doesn't change the overall findings.

Good respond and explanation to that.

Already posted on that case. I know I once again link to Wikipedia, but it have a lot of reliable sources to follow up on.

And I can say it yet agian. That the work of IPCC is really impressive. That work is based on the work of so many scientist and so many findings, still the deniers can find so little to atack even then deniers use dirty tactics.

You talk about "dirty tactics" yet adopt the dirtiest tactic of all in labeling your opponents in the debate as "deniers"...

AGW proponents have long since abandoned any reasonable, or rational response in looking at their own biases.
