The usual refrain from climate cultists is this: "tens of thousands of scientists cant be wrong!" or "science is with us!"

They claim that so many scientists believe in AGW and that something must be done about it. But this is all a propagandic lie.

First off, there are literally thousands of peer reviewed scientific papers that have been published that calls into question this very notion that the world is somehow in danger, or that AGW is manmade and something can be done about it.

Consensus? 500+ Scientific Papers Published In 2018 Support A Skeptical Position On Climate Alarm

Popular Technology.net: 1350+ Peer-Reviewed Papers Supporting Skeptic Arguments Against ACC/AGW Alarmism

Check the links to these papers and find out.

Also, a petition was started in 1997, and has been updated over the years, and these have been signed by no less than tens of thousands of scientists who are experts in their respective fields, and they doubt the current AGW agenda that's sweeping the UN.

Global Warming Petition Project

Over 31 thousand scientists have signed this petition, and it proves that there is no consensus on AGW. Game over, chicken littles.
 
Hey, lay of Virginia...it's a nice place to live...:2razz:
 
Ironically, the first picture showed a person's PhD in physics. NOt in climate science. And how much you want to bet those PhDs are in theology, or other fields having nothing to do with climate science? Oh, and the fact that all you have to do is go only have to go on this bogus website and claim your a phD to vote, which is probably 31,000 right wing losers having to lie because they don't have facts

As usual, right wing lies and idiocy are so easy to destroy

One of the pages in the shows the quantified qualifications of the signees, which number over 3000 with regards to climate sciences, so its obvious you didnt read it or couldnt. I bet the latter is true.


Please show us the university degrees of the "scientists" who believe in AGW. :waiting:

Are you talking about the “climate scientists “ that back in the 70’s said the earth would be destroyed in 30 years.
I have lived in the same city as a child since 1960. I look around and the air quality and water quality has not changed. The earth hasn’t been destroyed like all the doomsday leftist believed. Who did you say was lying to you?

Did you read the signature?

It was purported to be Edward Teller! I empasize purported because this is the infamous “Oregon Petition” which was a right fraud manufactured and kept alive by the global warming denial industry.
 
LMAO good grief the conspiracy forum is elsewhere:lamo

climate deniers = Birthers = Truthers that claim Bush planned it = anti-vaxxers = Flat Earthers = holocaust deniers = monumental retards

nobody honest educated and objective takes them loons seriously, they are only worthy of mocking and entertainment.

Are you even serious?

Your first link is to a partularly trashy global warming denial site that makes no pretense at being either professional or scientific. It’s just the place for Glen Beck readers!

Go to the home page of your second source and you’ll read this in the very first article.

How good have climate models been at truly predicting the future? << RealClimate

Your third link goes to an amateurish site that promotes a long standing climate skeptic fraud called the Oregon Petition. This is an outright fraud. It was discredited twenty years ago.

But right wingers resurrect it routinely, and the rest of us have to tell you that it’s a fraud from time to time.

But, like so many cherished right wing phoney memes, from Vince Foster, to Barack’s birth certificate, to Benghazi, to Iraqi WMD’s, the lies keep bubbling back up in the right wing media sewer, regularly recycled to an obviously gullible low information audience.

There are always problems with petitions such as that. “Scientists” is not a sufficient standard for a field as specific as climate science. Only 39 Climatologists signed the petition. Furthermore, the organizers have been collecting these signatures since 1997 but there does not appear to be any mechanism to remove your name as additional information has become available over the last 23 years and they don’t remove the names of deceased persons. Aside from that, they seem to be using the word “scientist” rather loosely - describing as such anyone who took a remedial undergraduate science class and graduated with a bachelors degree in something.

You dishonestly added that after the fact, and when I look at it, all it is is a list of papers.. No argument, no mention of what the studies actually say. and in reading the the titles, it doesn't support that those are anti climate change

given typical right wing dishonesty, I would bet most don't. And of course, right wingers don't check sources they just take the summary provided at face value as long as they want to believe it
 
97% "consensus" debunked ages ago.

This article questions the validity of that number, but does not debunk the number of attempt to calculate a better one. It then gives up on trying(likely because it knows it can't) and attempts to argue that consensus irrelevant because there have been a couple times throughout history where there was a consensus and it ended up being wrong.

When you're making decisions that impact the lives of billions of people you don't bank on the assumption that 97% of scientists are wrong.

Well, when you cite the completely BS "Global Warming Petition Project" then you give the game away. Have you looked into that, like at all? What it is a bunch of people who have supposedly 'signed' a petition, and the requirement is that they have a degree in something sort of scientificy sounding, but that's it. My dad could have signed it, and his knowledge of AGW was approximately ZERO. My local vet could sign it, and he treats dogs and cats for a living and there's no reason to trust his judgment over the lady taking my money at the gas station or a bartender.

Seriously, if you want to kill the credibility of a post, citing that nonsense is a WINNER!
 
The climate change debate has nothing to do with science, it’s all about politics.

You are right, because the science is settled, its fact. Right wing assholes who suck the dick of oil and gas companies make it political.

Nice response. You must have a third grade education.
Hate to break it to you science is not always a fact, but rather a prediction. If it were fact, we would all be dead by now.
Your foul mouth does not make you any more intelligent.

This is the infamous “Oregon Petition”, which is a right wing media fraud that has been around for the better part of 25 years now. It is a complete fake.

The educated elite: 'You cant tell me nothing. I graduated from Bezerkley's climate science program so not I is a expert and know fer a fak that globul warmin is reel.'

Typical right wing Trumpster type.

Confronted with facts, you make up some nonsense that is supposed to pass for wit.

This “educated elite” which you mockingly ridicule (the man on your AM radio tells you you’re so much smarter than educated people!), happens to be Edward Teller.

Teller did not go to Berkeley. He immigrated from Hungary. He was the father of the US Hydrogen bomb.

I realize that you don’t know what you’re talking about, but you dont’ have to advertise it!

Do you understand that the whole concept is reasonabley straight forward and if lots of electrical engineers say that a particular rocket engine is not going to work because of stuff they know about even though it is not necessarily rocket science should make you think that there might be a problem.

I understand that an undergraduate science class doesn’t make anyone a subject matter expert on climate science. That’s like relying on someone who took woodshop once upon a time to tell you whether or not a building is structurally sound.

If you only have very basic arithmatic you can still work out if a price for a new school building program is reasonable given the known cost of building a school and also knowing how many schools are being proposed. You don't need a degree to see if those numbers are close.

I know that the numbers claimed for the ice mass loss of Greenland are false or the numbers claimed for the level of precipitation (snowfall) on Greenland are false. One or the other. I know this because I can look at maps and pictures of the rivers coming out of Greenalnd and see that there are not many many Mississippi sized or bigger rivers there each summer. Thus I can with very basic sums show that Greenland is gaining ice mass. No need for satelites that nobody can check the working out of.

Right, but if all you need is basic math, then the opinion of your local bartender, yard maintenance guy, shoe salesman is just as valid as that of a vet, or a family doc. What does a cat vet know about the climate? Nothing that anyone reading Watts Up with That can't get. But the petition calls the vet a "scientist" and effectively equates that vet's opinion to that of someone spending 2,000 hours a year on climate research. It's BS from start to finish.

What you're doing is positing that expertise doesn't matter. If that's the argument, that's fine, and I'm sure you won't mind me using the internet to make a recommendation for your cancer treatment, right? And if we want to know about the state of cancer research, what works and what does not, we can poll anyone with a scientific sounding degree in the past 70 years and treat that poll just like the views of a NIH cancer researcher, or a cancer doctor at Cleveland Clinic or Mayo, right? That is your argument!
