Tolerance vs intolerance

How about 99.9%?

Is Climate Change caused by human activity. Well,"YES!" The question Powell should ask is - "Are Humans' emissions of carbon dioxide causing catastrophic global warming?" As there has been no significant warming for more than 17 years, the answer to this must be "NO!"

Powell claims that he went through "every scientific study published in a peer-review journal during the calendar year 2013."


To check that he was on the right track, he could have done a check with the NIPCC. The NIPCC ("Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change") is an international panel of nongovernment scientists and scholars who have come together to understand the causes and consequences of climate change from a sceptical viewpoint, looking at information which is routinely ignored by the official U.N. body, the IPCC.

The NIPCC regularly reviewing the peer-reviews scientific literature and archives those reviews on their website.



Geochemist James Lawrence Powell says: "the only people still debating whether or not climate change is “real,” and caused by human activity, are the ones who aren’t doing the actual research."

If you look at the names behind the NIPCC , all are scientists who have done research and most if not all have published papers.

Were their papers included in Powell's "every scientific study published in a peer-review journal ..."

of course not .

Conclusion : Powell is only interested in those Scientists that support HIS theory on Climate Change . Bob

When temperatures have increased on average on Venus and Mars, should we call it global warming and blame it on the martians and whatever alien may be on Venus, or should we blame it on a shift of the sun?

The graph Forkie is tempeture data NOT solar data. You have of course explained the decreasing number of people taking those measurements and the increasing number of montoring stations located at airports?

So you don't have a clue what "peer reviewed" means, do you?

The discredited "NIPCC" had to have their papers published by the Heartland Institute, which took money from Philip Morris to deny the harmful effects of cigarettes. So why don't you look up "peer reviewed journal" or "refereed journal," go whoopsie, and then we can continue this chit-chat.

Forkie is giving 110% effort. Nice job!

So the government is not manipulatimg data to suit their needs ?


The truth is that tempertures are not rising, despite the falsified information used in your graph .

Multiple U.S. government bureaucracies including NOAA, NASA, and the Department of Energy are again being accused of inappropriately manipulating temperature data — or “adjusting” it, as officials at the agencies implicated in the scandal put it — to show global warming. While the accusations are not new, the latest scandal, sparked by an in-depth analysis of the data by independent analyst Steven Goddard at Real Science, relies on official records to suggest that federal agencies have been fudging temperature measurements to make past decades seem colder and recent years appear warmer.

If I had to choose , I would believe a non governmental agency over a governmental agency in a heartbeat. Unless, you assume that the government never lies , in which case I have some oceanfront property in Arizona that I can sell to you for a reasonable price .
Didn't Al Gore invent the internet? Bob

It's purty chilly up heh' in Appalachia this mornin' .

Who is Steven Goddard? Is that even his real name?

It snowed early this morning in NJ. Crazy weather we're having.

A most difficult question.

1. The web page entitled About Me purporting to offer biographical information about this mystery man has apparently been captured by Chinese Communists.

2. "Mr. Goddard" has previously acknowledged that Steven Goddard is a pseudonym.

3. DonDiego trusts snidely333 remains safe from the chill.
