the deniers must be pretty desperate if the best they've got is a paper saying that part of arctic ice loss is caused by natural forcings, even though the rest is anthropogenic.

The summary is
>"Internal variability dominates the Arctic summer circulation trend and may be responsible for about 30–50% of the overall decline in September sea ice since 1979."

Which if referring to specifically Sept 2016 is not saying much seen as we know that last year low was partly consequence of a heat anomaly.

>still thinking that more snow = more cold
>still can't tell the difference between cloud cover and snow accumulation in satellite imagery
news flash, genius, clouds and precipitation actually DECLINE when the air is really really cold, since cold air can't hold much moisture. have you ever noticed how it only really snows when it's sorta cold? on bitterly cold days, when it's -20 F, you don't see snow at all in most cases.
increased precipitation is actually a predicted consequence of warming, since warmer tropical waters put more water into the atmosphere through evaporation. if the planet were cooling, we'd be seeing LESS snow falling during winter, but the snow that did fall would stay on the ground longer.

>>8749357
literally copied and pasted from NewsMax.
fun fact: the quote comes not from Al Gore, but from Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK), who attributed it to Gore. the fact that "polar ice cap" is written as "polarized cap" is kind of a dead giveaway. what kind of brainlet types "polarized cap" and thinks "yup, that's an accurate term" anyway?

False. Nice image though, ripped straight from your favorite climate denial sites. How about you link to the actual study, I can do just that:
http://www.pbl.nl/sites/default/files/cms/publicaties/pbl-2015-climate-science-survey-questions-and-responses_01731.pdf

Many of those surveyed had no peer reviewed published climate science papers, and many weren't even published or published less than two papers (17% respondents). 21.1% described their depth of climate change at 21%. 11.3% said they were engineers, 9% statistics, 8.7% geologists, 8.8% remote sensing, not climate scientists. 388 of the respondents (20% of the sample) have 0-3 published papers relating to climate change. So no, many of those surveyed aren't experts nor were they climate scientists. Surprise that the consensus increases with expertise in the subject.

climate change alarmists have been disregarding the natural aspect until now

it raises an important point - if the processes involved are beyond human control, then it makes little sense for humans to try to stop or mitigate the warming/change occurring

furthermore, there is no credible path to actually mitigate the warming. we've heard these alarm bells for years, and yet the warming continues; not only that, it's accelerating (pic related);

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/climate-consensus-97-per-cent/2017/mar/10/earths-oceans-are-warming-13-faster-than-thought-and-accelerating

Finally, we're on the eve of World War 3, which will bring "climate change" on a level that dwarfs any of these current estimates

>two secret Soviet programs, "Mercury" and "Volcano", aimed at developing a "tectonic weapon" that could set off earthquakes from great distance

>US Secretary of Defense William S. Cohen, said..."Others are engaging even in an eco-type of terrorism whereby they can alter the climate, set off earthquakes, volcanoes remotely through the use of electromagnetic waves."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tectonic_weapon#Reports

etc.
>>
Also see below for another article by one of the author of the PBL survey in response to climate change deniers skewing the survey's results:
https://ourchangingclimate.wordpress.com/2015/04/12/responses-to-the-climate-science-survey/

>It showed that there is widespread agreement regarding a dominant influence of anthropogenic greenhouse gases on recent global warming. This agreement is stronger among respondents with more peer-reviewed publications.
>Results from most groups were very close to the IPCC range (1.5-4.5 °C) mentioned in the fifth assessment report (AR5) – except those tagged as ‘unconvinced’ which strongly deviated from the other groups, and to a lesser extent the group of respondents with three or less publications. For all subgroups the ‘best estimate’ was slightly lower than the ‘best estimate’ reported in AR4 (i.e. 3 °C). AR5 provided no best estimate.
>As with the attribution questions (see the ES&T article), there appears to be a trend in responses going from the group with fewest publications to those with most. The more publications about climate change respondents report to have written, the larger fraction of them agree with the IPCC position that the sun hardly played a role in recent global warming, since the solar output decreased slightly over that period.

>Attitude polarization, also known as belief polarization and polarization effect, is a phenomenon in which a disagreement becomes more extreme as the different parties consider evidence on the issue. It is one of the effects of confirmation bias: the tendency of people to search for and interpret evidence selectively, to reinforce their current beliefs or attitudes. When people encounter ambiguous evidence, this bias can potentially result in each of them interpreting it as in support of their existing attitudes, widening rather than narrowing the disagreement between them.
>The effect is observed with issues that activate emotions, such as political "hot button" issues. For most issues, new evidence does not produce a polarization effect. For those issues where polarization is found, mere thinking about the issue, without contemplating new evidence, produces the effect. Social comparison processes have also been invoked as an explanation for the effect, which is increased by settings in which people repeat and validate each other's statements. This apparent tendency is of interest not only to psychologists, but also to sociologists and philosophers.

there's no /x/ involved in what I wrote. the climate change debate does involve political aspects, including tectonic weapons. those are a matter of public record, see the quote by American Secretary of Defense William Perry.

>>8749546

>>there is no credible path to actually mitigate the warming

>Stage 4, nice.

not an argument. what I wrote is true. we've been hearing warnings from scientists and others for years; the climate continues to change, and it's accelerating

one of us is in denial all right..
>>
You people do realize the current level of co2 in the atmosphere is 426ppm right? I do believe that over time human causes might play into "climate change". I just don't see the collective human race accomplishing anything near that within the next 500 years. Using resources at twice or even three times the current levels.
Within the next hundred we'll probably be off fossil fuels anyway, if we all don't blow each other up first.
It's a non issue that's is wasting a lot of time and effort. I'd rather we focused on preventing the asteroid that's heading straight for us eventually, than this.

holy shit this kind of autism is a little unsettling.
he's doubling down on his objectively incorrect """correction""" by citing a completely unrelated example. in "between X and Y", X and Y are objects, not subjects. therefore, you should be using object pronouns.
when in doubt, try using third-person pronouns; most people have a little better intuitive sense with those. which sounds right: "between he and she" or "between him and her"?

are you the same guy who threw a shit fit in the last thread because I don't capitalize sentences when talking to him, and because someone else wrote:
>(I capitalize.)
and put the period inside the parentheses? (that too is according to convention, by the way.)

Hitchens's Razor applies.
deniers are so dead-set against any corrective action, even once they've conceded that climate change is happening they immediately claim that there's nothing we can do about it (stage 4).
and then when they're presented with the multiple feasible approaches to mitigating climate change and ocean acidification, they move on to stage 5, which is "oh, it's too late now, we'd have had to start twenty years ago".
>what I wrote is true.

You know, climate change deniers don't really think it never happens, they just think that it's a naturally ocurring process, that human interference doesn't really change the outcome, or the speed of the process.

And they're right.

Hello fellow anons. Havent been here in years. Think I have related information.
Have you ever heard of William Happer? This physicist went on one of Stefan Moleneux's shows a few months ago. He changed my opinion. I'll post the link below.

And yet they fight tooth and nail to force everyone to do nothing about the biggest threat to humanity, next to nuclear war.

And we don't even need to reach a catastrophe scenario. Extreme weather and seasonal flooding will drive mass migration of the 1/3rd of the human population living near the ocean. The current migrant crisis will be a footnote compared to that.

Increased drought and unusual weather events will dramatically reduce crop yields and disrupt ecosystems we rely on for food.

This shit has the potential to cause the unraveling of human society. And all you want to do is sit back and wring your hands over "well we can't really say it's caused by humans" and no nothing.
>>
>>8749686

it's a far greater picture than that. see industrializing nations like China and India, etc. they're not concerned with the oil lobby, but they also refuse to cap their emissions.

even to the extent you are correct that the oil lobby has blocked action, you're just explaining why I'm right. if there is no political will in the United States, for example, because the oil lobby has blocked action, and Republicans set to control both houses of congress and the Presidency until 2019, then in what world of yours do you see feasible action on climate change anytime soon?
>>
>>8749695
Firstly the notion of China as a nation that doesn't give two shits about emissions is a 15 year old meme. They are starting cap and trade and have been investing huge amounts in noncarbon energy. They have 36 operating nuclear reactors and are building more. Surprisingly China has become the voice of reason on climate with the US spinning off into oblivion.

India and other developing countries are different because they have to balance international pressure to curb emissions with the knowledge that increasing their energy per capita can have a direct effect on the quality of life of their citizens.

Feasible action on climate will happen when the Republican party stops doing everything they can to stop it.

Look at the Paris agreement. The intent of that conference was to come out with a real commitments and verifiable action on climate change. But the Republican congress flatly refused to accept any binding agreements on climate. This torpedoed the entire conference, and what came out of it was a weak, loose agreement.

So they tried again in Marrakech, with the World Meteorological Organization presenting a current assessment of the climate. On the second day of the conference, Trump was elected. All talks basically stopped there. Trump's election raised the question of whether or not it would be possible to carry forward a global effort to deal with the problem of environmental catastrophe if the leader of the most powerful country in the world would pull out of the agreement completely. As this was his stated goal of the president-elect who believes climate change is a hoax and whose policy is to maximize the use of fossil fuels, end environmental regulations and dismantle the EPA.

My great uncle owns a rice farm in Arkansas. It's unimaginable how far that single farm stretches. That is just one persons farm. We have more politicians involved in farming than actual farmers. If we needed more, we would have more.
As for the "lack of water" argument, we just watch California "borrow" water for years. I think we could stop watering our lawn, which use more water than farming, to "lend" it to these emergency farmers.

The paper says roughly 30-50% are from natural shifts. That leaves the other 50-70% manmade influenced.

Either way, the change is coming and building a better infrastructure that promotes self-sufficiency of a country is better compared to simply depending on oil/coal as its hazardous to health.
>>
>>8749717

they are investing in noncarbon energy, but they've only pledged to cap emissions by 2030. that's a long way away.

also, note that a "voice" of reason is just that. talk is cheap.

>Feasible action on climate will happen when the Republican party stops doing everything they can to stop it.

well, again, you're looking at 2021 before another Democrat is possibly in the White House. meanwhile, the earth continues to warm

>The intent of that conference was to come out with a real commitments and verifiable action on climate change.

"verifiable action" is not entirely accurate either. you're talking about nations self-reporting. figures are manipulated all the time, especially in highly centralized, controlled economies like China

you keep blaming Republicans but that is just one variable in this equation

I agree with much of your explanation, but it still gets you to the same place - no feasible action for the foreseeable future.

The argument is that the story keeps changing to fit the political purpose of the time. The political purpose now is to prevent third world countries from developing the means to be self sufficient, or even prosperous.
While you sit on your high horses, millions of children in Africa lose any hope of a happier future. Many will just die. It's not just Africa. It's anywhere that doesn't have the infrastructure already in place, to be immune to the current globalist agenda.

Yes, it is. By the way, that Time Magazine article is a fake, and you made yourself look really stupid by posting it. Embarrassing.
http://science.time.com/2013/06/06/sorry-a-time-magazine-cover-did-not-predict-a-coming-ice-age/
See, that image on the left is not from 1077, it's from a story from 2007, and the text has been edited. Nice job just believing whatever you see posted on some shitty blog though, really makes you look like a dumb plebeian.

Let's start with an actual study on the published papers in climate science at the time, and what they thought was occurring with the Earth's climate. Spoilers, the vast majority did not believe it was "cooling." When you want to find out what scientists were thinking during a certain time period, you should look at the peer-reviewed published studies, not newspaper / magazine articles.
http://journals.ametsoc.org/doi/pdf/10.1175/2008BAMS2370.1

Before you even bring up the newsweek article, here's an article by the author himself about the article being used by deniers.
https://www.insidescience.org/news/my-1975-cooling-world-story-doesnt-make-todays-climate-scientists-wrong

You see, you're cute little comic is just that, a shitty comic that isn't based in reality, and clearly uses the term "scientist" very loosely. If you want to know what scientists were thinking at a given time, I again suggest you take a look into the literature, not newspaper or magazine articles.

Oh, and finally, if you're the same sperg who always posts that "notrickzone" link with "278 papers" that aren't actually scientific papers, don't bother, because I'm not going to go through how wrong that garbage blog post is again.

People in the third world are not paying the carbon taxes because they can't. The middle class of the first world is the target of carbon taxation, a weird sort of new age hybrid luxury-sin tax, because fossil fuels are evil and first world living is a luxury granted by the state not a right.

If I wanted to rule the world driving the entire population of earth into energy poverty would be the first step, starting with that annoying privileged middle class.

People like yourself are nothing more than massive hypocrites. Could you imagine what narrative you would be pushing if a legitimate climate scientist had emails leaked showing him willing to accept a monetary payment to write a paper for a renewable energy corporation? People like yourself would never, EVER let it go, it would validate your shitty denialism and confirm your biases.

You are nothing more than a pathetic wretch that will never admit he has made a mistake, or has been wrong. So fucking sad.

Happer is also a paid shill for the George C. Marshall Institute by the way, an organization that has received millions in funding from companies like Exxonmobil in the past and other fossil fuel interests. He's also a member at the british GWPF, another "think tank" that does no scientific research and spreads propaganda and misinformation.

https://www.desmogblog.com/william-happer
>William Happer has accepted funding from the fossil fuel industry in the past. In a Minnesota state hearing on the impacts of carbon dioxide, Peabody Energy paid him $8,000 which was routed through the CO2 Coalition.
>In a 2015 undercover investigation by Greenpeace, Happer told Greenpeace reporters that he would be willing to produce research promoting the benefits of carbon dioxide for $250 per hour, while the funding sources could be similarly concealed by routing them through the CO2 Coalition.

You will defend this because YOU ARE A HYPOCRITE, accept it and move on, stop making double standards for yourself.
>>
By the way, Happer is not a climatologist / climate scientist by training, he's an atomic physicist, and sadly that field doesn't really have any overlap with the earth sciences / climatology. It's just sad that all the "experts" that are cited so widely by denialists are almost always not experts in climatology itself.
He's simply a contrarian that like many of the other contrarians has links to the fossil fuel industry.

Here's also a rebuttal to Happer's "The Truth About Greenhouse Gases," in which Happer basically summarized his views. An actual climate scientist (Michael MacCracken) reviewed his summary point by point and responded to every claim that Happer made:
http://www.climatesciencewatch.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/The-Real-Truth-About-Greenhouse-Gases-and-Climate-Change.pdf

Stop going through mental gymnastics to defend anything retarded your denier pals say, maybe if you actually opened yourself to valid criticism of their "ideas" you would gain some respect here.
>>
>>8750734
I can do that too ya know
"Classic libtard. Cant make a legitimate argument so they just make false accusations and attack someones character. Next you are going to call me a racist and a biggot. You are just some SJW autistic fuck." See? Its stupid and pointless. Doesnt change the way you think about climate change.

Im sure we agree on many things, like I am pro green energy. Gas will run out eventually, and battery technology is currently moving at a snails pace. I just dont think climate change is as big a deal as you.

Look, im new to /pol/, but im assuming most people act in a similar fashion to you. This has made you defensive, but before attacking someones character for no reason, in a place where nobody cares, try opening your mind to others opinions and logic.
Logic such as:
A man devoted his life to some research. We live in a day and age where people treat climate change as a religion. This man's research goes against what most people accept. This man needs currency to exchange for goods. He is getting paid decent money to talk about his research. He talks about said research.

>try opening your mind to others opinions and logic.
Hmmm. Sounds like you're a "priest" for a religion trying to tell me to "open my mind" to a religious belief. Guess what pal, your "logic" is garbage, it makes no sense to defend Happer in this situation. Real, true skeptics would be criticizing Happer and telling him to change his behavior and that it's not acceptable because it is a massive conflict of interest. Good science needs to be objective and based in evidence, Happer writing a paper for a fossil fuel company is NOT objective and is not science.

>A man devoted his life to some research. We live in a day and age where people treat climate change as a religion. This man's research goes against what most people accept. This man needs currency to exchange for goods. He is getting paid decent money to talk about his research. He talks about said research.

Ironic considering your previous statements. You treat climate change denial as a religion in which you won't ever criticize the "good old boys" on your side when they are wrong. It's clearly a belief system to yourself because despite all the evidence presented, you ignore it in favor of people like Happer, who aren't experts and aren't credible sources on the subject.

I say again, stop making double standards for the people you like, hold everyone to the same degree of accountability. If you have a fossil fuel corporation willing to provide monetary funding to a climate change denier to write them a statement on climate change, that is a conflict of interest, you cannot defend this, but of course you manage to wind up the mental gymnastics to do just that.

Who am I setting a double standard for? Happer? He's not an idiot, thus its a double standard. I havent insulted anyone on the opposing side. They have viable information, but a lot of the data has been falsified and skewed to show what they want to show. If Happer is guilty, then so is... idk John Cook, Peter Doran, etc. The only difference is they are taking money from big government. There are more politicians involved than scientists.
Is the government really all knowing and malevolent? Do you trust them with your life? Do you accept everything the governemt says with blind faith? If not, then its okay to be a little skeptical, which is what I am, a LITTLE skeptical.

>>
>>8750750
>This man's research goes against what most people accept
Happer has published next to nothing on climate science, and the only things he's ever published on the subject have no citations (because they are irrelevant) and have been rebutted by actual climate scientists, such as this paper:
http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/2016GL068837/full
He is not a climate scientist, rather an atomic physicist as I already said above. His matters / views on the issue are about as worthless as anyone else who doesn't specialize in the field.

Stop treating it as if his opinion on a topic in which he is not an expert matters in the slightest. He has contributed nothing at all to our understanding of the dynamics of climate, nothing.

As I said, if you want to actually understand why Happer is wrong, read the response by an actual climatologist, Michael MacCracken, that I posted above. He goes through Happer's arguments point by point, stating what happer said and then responding.

>Do you accept everything the governemt says with blind faith?
Everything you write is nothing more than vague conspiracy crap. Do you really consider researchers that work for NOAA, NASA, Scripps, NICDC, or GISS to be the "government?" They are scientists and researchers too. Let me guess, you're trying to take the old tired, lolbertarian stance that because they are technically employed by the gubmint that it's a conflict of interest too?

>If not, then its okay to be a little skeptical, which is what I am, a LITTLE skeptical.
People that cite Happer as a credible source aren't "a LITTLE skeptical," they are full blown denialists. Happer's views have been discredited time and time again by legitimate climate scientists.
>>
>>8750801
>If Happer is guilty, then so is... idk John Cook, Peter Doran, etc.
John Cook is not a climate scientist, neither is Peter Doran, and again, their views on the matter don't really mean much, but Cook at least cites scientific literature on his website to back up his arguments.
>The only difference is they are taking money from big government.
>only difference
Delusion, plain and simple. This is a complete false equivalency. Taking money to write a paper from a certain viewpoint from a fossil fuel company is completely different from working for a governmental organization that pays you a paycheck for publishing research. NOAA doesn't say "hehehe, here (((climate scientists))) good goys, publish research that us (((globalists))) want you to do push our agenda!"

If you honestly believe that's how it goes down, maybe you should do a little more research on how government grants work, and how employees of organizations like the EPA / NOAA / NASA do research. Hell, you can contact most climate scientists themselves and they would be more than happy to explain what their jobs are and how they publish. Stop with your evidence-less big gubmint conspiracy angle, it's not credible.

>There are more politicians involved than scientists.
Politicians don't publish research. Politicians don't collect and interpret the data, the fact that you're bringing politicians into a discussion about actual scientists shows you're just talking out your ass. What a politician thinks and says about climate change is worthless, the only thing that matters is the EVIDENCE.

>Is the government really all knowing and malevolent? Do you trust them with your life? Do you accept everything the governemt says with blind faith?
Red herring.

>So quit flipping shit, put on your big boy pants, and debate like a man. You are sounding like an angry feminist.

I'm going to let you in on a secret. That was never really a thing. /pol/ just imagined it in their desperate search of a dragon to slay to make them feel like they are relevant. It's like Don Quixote jousting with windmills that he imagines are giants. People aren't paid to post stuff, they're just doing it because they have an emotional investment in the subject. Take /pol/ for example. They're not paid, they just shitpost because they're emotionally invested in their particular political ideology, and that informs everything that they do. Climate change? They deny it, because their politics demands that they deny it. On /sci/, the subject matter is science, and that is what people who come here tend to be passionate about. So when /pol/ leaks and spawns their daily climate change denial thread, there are people here who are emotionally invested enough to be annoyed by the fact that some dumbass from /pol/ is spewing garbage. Doubly so considering that /pol/'s beliefs on climate change are not rooted in science and indeed have nothing to do with science, instead /pol/ denies climate change because their politics demand it, not because of any actual facts.

I've been keeping it short and simple because I wanted to make it easy for you to understand. I can give grossly oversimplified examples if you would like. "The world was warmer at one point in time. There used to be way more carbon dioxide in the air. Plants use carbon dioxide." Do my oversimplified and unspecific statements upset you? Will you put them in green text? You have put more words in my mouth than I have said. This message board is supposed to be full of people discussing science, not petty children insulting others.

All joking aside, I do agree that humans have had an impact on the climate. We aren't going to die though. We are trying to fix our problem while also keeping our standard of living. If we immediately stopped burning fossil fuels what do you think would happen to our infrastructure?

People tend to do their own research. Being self taught is a lot cheaper than getting a degree, and you can get just about as much out of it. If someone is a doctor, and has a degree in some high level science, then im sure they know more than the average person. They probably know more than you or me on this kind of thing.
That being said, you are being hypocritical giving Cook a pass, but not Happer. Why are Cook and Doran publishing a "consensus on human-caused global warming," if they have no credible knowledge? Why are they held with such high regards?

Briefly touching on what I said about the government research...just google stupid government research. Here are some of the first examples:

You are contradicting yourself. You claim that being self taught is just as good but then say that the doctor with a degree in a high level science knows more than the rest.

The post did not give John Cook a pass, it said that he is not a climate scientist and said that his views do not mean much. The only thing it did say is that Cook cites scientific literature so that means that he is far easier to fact check.

That's what alarmists have been saying the whole time. It's pretty much just "Repent or else! Abandon your sinful first world middle class standard of living and live like poor and virtuous third worlders! Mother nature demands it!"

The fact is that giving up fossil fuels just because of climate change hysteria is unnecessary. You aren't thinking rationally about this. In reality, CO2 is not particularly harmful overall and in the few instances where it is, geoengineering can solve that. Rushing to throw away fossil fuels and the technological progress that comes from having a modern civilization is a knee jerk reaction. Grow up already, the world isn't going to be destroyed. If you can't talk about this calmly and reasonably, what are you doing on a science board?

Lol the posts were getting to long for me to read but from what I could tell this thread went from a normal conversation about the relationship between carbon dioxide and the atmosphere, chemicals, physics, math, data, hard science, HARD SCIENCE to the regular ""CLIMATE CHANGE IS FALSE""

""You illiterate imbecile I am very educated I am good at math""

""NO U""

""NO U""

I'm sick of these threads, we know climate change is real, whats the extent? what are the consequences? we are not sure, BUT I AM SURE WE SHOULD NOT REACH CONCLUSIONS, and obviously everyone on this thread has, I encourage everyone to take a step back, read some published papers, not Reuters, anyway just venting but whatever just read more and become informed thats what I did and even I havent reach conclusions yet

Again, the media is not the scientific establishment. I don't know if you're autistic or you have some kind of cognitive disorder, but we require you post working links to full text if you want us to read the articles and find the sources / scientists that they are citing. Otherwise, your posts are meaningless. Post working links not behind a paywall or leave.

Again, I suggest you actually read the study that examined the scientific literature published by climate scientists at the time, showing that discussion of a global cooling trend in the literature was marginal at best, with the predominant focus being on global warming. Look at the chart I posted, from 1965 to 1979 there were 7 cooling papers, 20 that made no opinion on the trend, and 44 promoting a warming trend. Warming papers received 2043 citations, while cooling only received 325, neutral papers received 424. That seems like most scientists reading other's work at the time were definitely more interested in global warming, not cooling.

Let's say one of those authors publishes a paper on global cooling, and the media picks it up. Much like the media is known to do, they will publish a story exacerbating it claiming a "new ice age" is coming or something like that, citing a single scientist as evidence that all scientists think this way. That's likely what occurred, but again, we require you post working links so that I can examine the full article and see who they are citing / what study they are citing to know.

You're clearly not here for a rational discussion, so what is your purpose in these threads? Are you just here to argue, or are you willing to have a rational, evidence-based discussion in which you examine your opponents argument and actually respond / critique it?

The media is not a source of information about evidence for climate change, the scientific literature is. I don't know how many times this has to be explained to you, but the media's opinions on climate change / climate science don't really amount to anything when it comes to our understanding on the phenomenon. Only the evidence published in the scientific literature matters, the research, the observations, all the data collected points to a continuing warming trend well into the next few centuries.
If you're relying on the media as your primary source of information on climate change, you should consider changing your sources. Read scientific literature, read sources of information that aren't biased and are relevant to the research.

what did scientists actually claim? that stressed cells use hydrogen sulfide to signal their mitochondria.
so it's kinda telling that you're focusing on media reports from the 1970s rather than the actual published scientific literature from the time.

>the thing speaks for itself. you can't just do something because you want it done. governments must be involved and the governments won't.
that is political feasibility, which is entirely different from technical feasibility. BOTH are required for governments to take some course of action.
if they were the same thing, we'd already have fusion reactors. who doesn't want cheap energy? in that case, it's a purely technical roadblock.

this is just a reminder that there is nothing in the cited articles that suggests WWIII is imminent, and also that there is no evidence of any stripe that tectonic weapons exist, or even that they are in active development.
turns out that when Sec'y Cohen referenced them, he was only talking about futuristic hypotheticals, and how even the false scare of such a weapon could be used to intimidate people or cause panic.

>>8751354
The NYT article is focused primarily on Milankovitch cycles and solar forcings, both things that weren't as well understood in 1975 as they are now, here are some quotes from the article. Note that their main source for most of what is being espoused is Dr. J. Murray Mitchell Jr., a climatologist who studied the role that aerosols played in climate, particularly in the arctic. As the knowledge about the role of CO2 increased,
Here’s another article on Murray right after he died, and his role in climate science:

http://www.nytimes.com/1990/10/08/obituaries/j-murray-mitchell-climatologist-who-foresaw-warming-peril-62.html

>J. Murray Mitchell Jr., a leading government climatologist who warned for years of increasing evidence of global warming and other human influences on the climate
>Dr. Mitchell in recent years cited growing evidence that the world's gradually warming climate - an average of 1 degree over the last century, and 3 to 5 degrees in polar regions -was a result of a greenhouse effect in which the burning of fossil fuels in industrialized nations produces carbon dioxide and other gases that prevent the earth's heat from escaping into space

Keep in mind, that the original article you linked was from 1975, a time in which there was a lot of actual debate going on between climatologists, but the predominant theory was that Earth was indeed warming due to anthropogenic activity, with the minority of scientists espousing a cooling theory, mainly due to evidence of aerosols from volcanoes cooling the Earth in recorded history. They thought that human's pollution and aerosol emissions would have the same effect, combine this with the fact that they knew about Milankovitch cycles that that the Earth could potentially head into another ice age over thousands of years as the position of the Earth changes / tilt of the axis changes / distance from the sun and solar intensity changes.
>>
>>8751354
>>8753353
To get back to the original 1975 NYT article, here are some more quotes from it:

>There are specialists who say that a new ice age is on the way--the inevitable consequence of NATURAL CYCLIC PROCESS, or as a result of man made pollution of the atmosphere.
Their primary concern here is not greenhouse gasses, it's Milankovitch forces which were well known at the time to be the reasons for the interglaciations / ice ages during the holocene.
They're also talking about aerosols blocking TSI reducing global temps, something that has been shown to play a minor role with CO2 warming being a much stronger forcing. Basically, our knowledge on the issue is much greater today than it was in 1975.

>Sooner or later a major cooling of the climate is widely considered inevitable...
Again, not sure who the article is quoting, the NAS report does not conclude this, and I doubt many climatologists of the time would have made such absolutist statements when their understanding was still developing.

>>The first half of this century has apparently been the warmest period since the "hot spell" between 5,000 and 7,000 years ago immediately following the last ice age. That the climate, at least in the Northern Hemisphere has been getting cooler since about 1950, is well established
The cooling phase they are referring to is but a blip in the overall warming trend since the 1880s, of course if this paper was written a decade later, with the warming 1980s-1990s decades, they would likely have not said this.

>There is general agreement that introducing large amounts of smoke particles or carbon dioxide into the atmosphere can alter climate. The same would be true of generating industrial heat comparable to a substantial fraction of solar energy falling on the Earth. The debate centers on the precise roles of these effects and the levels of pollution that would cause serious changes
So this article is a lot less absolutist than you are trying to portray.
>>
>>8753377
>Dr. Mitchell has pointed out that a variety of factors determine the role of carbon dioxide on Earth. For example, the extent to which that gas, introduced into the atmosphere by smokestacks and exhaust pipes, is absorbed by the oceans depends on the temperature of surface waters

>If worldwide energy consumption continues to increase at its present rates, catastrophic climate changes have been projected by M.I. Budyko... he has written, will lead to "a complete destruction" of polar ice covers." Not only would sea levels rise but, with the arctic ocean free of ice, the entire weather system of the northern hemisphere would be altered
So basically what we know is happening today was still known back in the 1970s, only they had less data to support their hypotheses. nearly 50 years of data later and surprise, we know a lot more.

>However, Dr. Mitchell (the main scientists this article quotes) has suggested warming of the climate due to pollution might be enough to head off an ice age "quite inadvertently."
Dr. Mitchell is saying that global warming can occur due to human activity and emissions.

>The Academy of Sciences report notes that any assessment of climate trends is crippled by a lack of knowledge: "Not only are the basic scientific questions largely unanswered, but in many cases we do not yet know enough to pose the key questions."
So basically, this is a far cry from your "GLOBAL COOLING WILL OCCUR SAYS ALL SCIENTISTS IN THE 1970S!"

FLY, the report this article is referring to is a 1975 report that I've linked to in these threads in the past, titled "Understanding Climate Change" from the NAS.
http://archive.org/stream/understandingcli00unit/understandingcli00unit_djvu.txt

Shall I go over all the other newspaper articles you posted too?

Lastly, as for your narrative about global cooling being widely pushed in the 1970s, I already brought up a study (which you conveniently ignored) showing that the majority of scientists publishing at the time did not adhere to global cooling, but instead viewed the direction of the Earth's climate as warming, with a sizable minority also stating that it was unknown. Let's start with a quote from that NAS report I posted above:

>The corresponding changes of mean atmospheric temperature due to C0 2 [as calculated by Manabe (1971) on the assumption of constant relative humidity and fixed cloudiness] are about 0.3 °C per 10 percent change of C0 2 and appear capable of accounting for only a fraction of the observed warming of the earth between 1880 and 1940. They could, however, conceivably aggregate to a further warming of about 0.5 °C between now and the end of the century.

Care to make a guess as to how much warming occurred at the end of the last century? This 1975 report was pretty damn accurate, the actual amount from 1975 to 2000 was ~0.44 ± 0.06 °C Note the GISS graph, the anomaly change between ~1975 and 2000 is nearly 0.5°C, meaning a temperature anomaly that increased by that much relative to the baseline.

I'll leave you with a great webpage with many links to important historical papers in climatology and our understanding of global warming, many of which were game-changers in increasing our understanding of the climate and greenhouse gasses in the past. Many of these papers are even from before your supposed 1970s global cooling "consensus."

I found this link that discusses that very article and how it's also being misused by people such as yourself. It mainly focuses on the Newsweek article, but also mention's TWP's own article from 1970.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2015/06/25/huckabees-claim-that-global-freezing-theories-from-the-1970s-shows-the-science-is-not-as-settled-on-climate-change/

I'm having no luck tracking down the actual article this time, and I'm not paying to access it.


>Is Mankind Manufacturing a New Ice Age for Itself?

Same as above, I cannot find a working link to this article or .pdf that isn't locked behind a paywall.

>Scientist predicts a new ice age by 21st century

Same as above, and I see where this trend is going. I could literally only find a .pdf through google of the NYT article luckily, all the others I'm having no luck, so if I can't read the article itself, I can't analyze it myself.

>Because one can easily prove that CFCs can easily deplete the ozone layer unlike the whole climate change BS
Lies and conjecture, don't know what else I expect from a denier though. There's more evidence for the role of CO2 in climate change than there ever was for CFCs and Ozone depletion, yet that didn't stop action from being taken. Then again, the two problems are on much different scales, stalling / phasing out CFC production was something that was much easier to do.

We have already proved that CO2 is driving the current trend and is a major driver of climate change in the past and present. You only need to actually look at the evidence:
https://www.ipcc.ch/pdf/assessment-report/ar5/wg1/WG1AR5_Chapter08_FINAL.pdf

Do yourself a favor and read through the IPCC reports, or are you afraid to read something that doesn't confirm your biases? Why are you so scared?

Great. Also, not all of the guys in the study are actually climate scientists. There's was another study done that as scientists become more specialized in a field related to climate science, or climate science itself. The level of consensus increases. So, the more you know about it, the less you deny it.

I would ask those who argue against the consensus what kind of research they did to come to their conclusions? Chances are, if it involved a lot of Google, it's not even remotely close to research. Googling is asking a machine a question. It's not really different from asking a person a question, except Google allows you to indulge in your biases and search for the conclusion you want while ignoring those troubling realities that undermine the belief you've come to validate. Google is, at best, a woeful attempt to approximate real research. No expert became an expert from pounding enough terms into a search bar.

Amazing to see how far off the wagon Curry has fallen. Once a somewhat "respectable" contrarian, she has clearly fallen off the deep end after retirement into full blown denial. How anyone that considers themselves rational could associate with the GWPF is a complete oxymoron. For those of you that don't know what the GWPF, it's essentially a British "think tank" that much like its American counterparts doesn't disclose the sources of its funding and spreads climate change misinformation.

Evidence shows that the more you expose someone to ideas that conflict with their biases, the more they retreat into their biased way of thinking.

This.

I remember some guy a few years back saying climate change is a hoax and that NASA is nothing but lies, but once NASA released a report on how Antarctica is getting colder, he kept shoving it in my face how scientists agree with him now (even though he didn't even read the article). This is OP's thread right now.

How can some people be so fucking retarded is beyond me.
>>
>>8753882
The article likely wasn't the one on ANtarctica getting colder, it was a paper suggesting from a small amount of research from I think 2003-2008 that the East Antarctica ice sheet was growing slightly. It was used by deniers to claim that sea ice was increasing globally, despite them not even reading the paper showing that it was over a short period in the past, and that sea ice overall has declined globally since 1979.

>Here, we used meta-analysis to test for biases in the statistical results of climate change articles, including 1154 experimental results from a sample of 120 articles. Funnel plots revealed no evidence of publication bias given no pattern of non-significant results being under-reported, even at low sample sizes. However, we discovered three other types of systematic bias relating to writing style, the relative prestige of journals, and the apparent rise in popularity of this field: First, the magnitude of statistical effects was significantly larger in the abstract than the main body of articles. Second, the difference in effect sizes in abstracts versus main body of articles was especially pronounced in journals with high impact factors.

CFC causing the depletion of the ozone layer created a far more detrimental situation with a far more rapid, noticeable and obviously detrimental effect, than CO2 based warming.

What does is this word salad even trying to imply? After reading that my mind is full of fuck, that's almost as bad as reading some Hegel.

Man made climate change "theory" hatched from a think tank of politicians, priests and social engineers is an echo chamber not a science. It was invented for one purpose, to apply carbon taxation (life taxation) eventually on a global scale and through this taxation system will eventually control who gets fossil fuels and at what taxation level, and who doesn't get them at all perhaps? The mechanism to implement this machinery is fear mongering through computer generated prophecies of climate doom.

>Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change 2007
Between these clowns and NASA-NOAA you have the source of 90% of this useless doom propaganda. I think the East Anglia climate propaganda department has toned down it's rhetoric after their malfeasance and corruption was made public. NASA-NOAA better watch its step as it has already been caught pushing highly questionable climate bullshit and the UN....well, after 1000 wars and 0 victories is just looking for some other justification for its existence but what it seeks, absolute power, we know corrupts absolutely, will just need to run its course now until enough people demand its dismantlement.

Didn't look like they were on board at all.

>said Congressman Tom DeLay, the Republicans’ whip in the House of Representatives. He shrugged off a challenge to produce some peer-reviewed studies supporting this view. “I’m not going to get involved in mumbo jumbo,” he said.

>Other supporters of the ban stressed that the scientific dissenters were few in number and had scant track records in the relevant fields of research. The opponents responded that scientists who disagree with the establishment line are denied research funds and opportunities to speak out, though they didn't offer evidence to support their claim of a blackout on dissent.

I understand that you are too ignorant to parse that and too lazy to google the difficult terms, so let me explain.

>Here, we used meta-analysis to test for biases in the statistical results of climate change articles, including 1154 experimental results from a sample of 120 articles.
they took a bunch of articles and analyzed them
>Funnel plots revealed no evidence of publication bias given no pattern of non-significant results being under-reported, even at low sample sizes.
they performed a statistical test, plotting measured effect against precision. if there's no publication bias, the distribution will look like an inverted funnel (hence the name) with the most precise tests producing results towards the middle of the range. if there IS publication bias, the most precise tests tend to be further to one edge due to low-precision results on that side of the distribution not getting published.
>However, we discovered three other types of systematic bias relating to writing style, the relative prestige of journals, and the apparent rise in popularity of this field: First, the magnitude of statistical effects was significantly larger in the abstract than the main body of articles.
in other words, researchers talked about the biggest effects in the abstracts and left the less impressive stuff buried in the results section.
>Second, the difference in effect sizes in abstracts versus main body of articles was especially pronounced in journals with high impact factors.
articles in more prestigious journals had a stronger tendency to put the cool results up front.
>Finally, the number of published articles about climate change and the magnitude of effect sizes therein both increased within 2 years of the seminal report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change 2007.
people started doing more research on climate change, and finding bigger effects, after the IPCC 2007 report.
