Evidence for CO2 causing global warming?

[Clinton Huxley]

YOU PEOPLE ARE NO DIFFERENT THAN RELIGIOUS NUTS, in this particular topic.

respectfully,

This is a forum for slightly demented atheists. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is over there.

Maybe you got us mixed up?

You know, although the legitimacy of your posts wouldn't change, it would maybe do you some good if you didn't burst onto the forum in such an argumentative manner. You'll probably find that most people here will just be a bit "meh" about this subject as long as you seem to be trolling.

I'm going to barge into the Women's Institute Forum and harangue them about the acidification of the oceans. Do you know they haven't lifted a finger!

Your posts often spur me to lift a finger.

I'm determined to view that in a positive light.

I blame your extremist Christmasical views. Did you know that Santa's sleigh is only .0000000000000000002% of atmospheric content? That is such an insignificant trace element.

Clausian cooling helps to counter the effects of global warming. His reindeer are carbon neutral.

I like this line of argument!

"But your honour, how can it be rape when my semen is only 1*10-28 of the semen in the atmosphere! That's lower odds than homeopathy!"

Here's a great site for those interested which rebuts the claims of denialists and their arguments.

As it says on the front page...

Scientific skepticism is healthy. Scientists should always challenge themselves to expand their knowledge and improve their understanding. Yet this isn't what happens in global warming skepticism. Skeptics vigorously criticise any evidence that supports man-made global warming and yet uncritically embrace any argument, op-ed piece, blog or study that refutes global warming.

Now I know a couple here will act like school children and say the opposite, that it's the proponents of global-warming that do this (sort of a "I know you are, but what am I" argument). But the fact is many lines of evidence from scientists all over the world through different lines of enquiry, are coming to the same conclusion. It's ironic that people who claim the whole thing is a conspiracy would claim that people who accept scientific fact as presented by a large body of scientists, especially when authoritative figures on the side of denialists side are generally economists, meteorologists and David Bellamy ( ), are "religious nuts"! This is no different to Arseholes in Genesis making a list of so-called scientists who reject evolution, but when you check the list they're mainly computer scientists!
And in this regard global-warming denialism is no different to evolution denialism or holocaust denialism. Their goal is to undermine current scientific thinking, but as usual, offer no thinking of their own.

They also have a completely free iPhone app too.

I haz it.

WHAT THE FUCK is all this denialist shite? Even the IPCC leave room for doubt in their conclusion, only CLAIMING to be 90% sure that the warming is man-made.
Why not join the real world, or is this a site for GOD denialists?

90% is as good as probable. Anyway, I predicted in the third sentence you would resort to playground tactics. Thanks for playing

I seems strange to me that we accept what the Astronomers say , Mathematicians, Physicists, zoologists ,Doctors etc but When it comes to something like Global warming suddenly there is a bunch of people who (some with vested interests) Demand a final absolute answer . Smoking causes Cancer , You will find it hard to find empirical evidence that it causes cancer by itself . You cannot take a patient with cancer and Prove that smoking caused it .It seems some of the Climate change deniers are asking for this.
The fact that They cry for evidence and then say "Oh those papers were too much to wade through." makes me think arguing with them is fruitless .

They remind me of the supporters commercial sea fishing who think that all scientists lie just to ruin their livelihoods. In living memory we have had the total collapse of the north sea Herring industry due to overfishing the average size of the fish caught of All species is getting smaller year by year ,but this is just the scientists telling lies ....

When it comes to the effects of climate change If there is a 90% chance that even 10% of the dire warnings are true then 10% chance our grandchildren will laugh at us for being so silly or a 90% chance that they will be struggling to live in a very different world to the one we enjoy .

If you want to call me a god denialist I don't object and this isn't a site FOR anything .

Don't patronise me and try to imply that I don't know that the Carbon dioxide levels are only 391 ppm and that's not very much ! it's still 35% higher due to man's effect .

All we need is more pirates and the global warming thing will be settled.
