Michael-

Okay that came out wrong. Of course you have the right to an opinion.

I also have the right to decide your opinion is not worth listening to. I will only do so if you fail to give me a reason to back up your opinion. (Not that you've really said your opinion on this topic in full).

I assume you came to this thread to share your opinions and have discussions on the validity of climate change?

Or did you come to vaguely state an opinion and then get all emotional about it?

If this were any other forum people asking for your reasons and evidence on climate change would be preposterous. However, this is a forum about climate change.

So would you like to discuss it or not?

I would also like to apologise to you for my terrible wording that stated you didn't have the right to an opinion. Of course you do, I hope no offence was caused, sorry.

Also, Michael, there is no need to respect opinions on the scientific subjects IF THE PERSON HAS PROVIDED NO EVIDENCE FOR THEIR OPINIONS.

Science is knowledge and discovery through using experiments and evidence. A scientist (of either pro or Con global warming) would NOT respect your current opinion as

1. You haven't told us what it is
2. Said opinion might not be based on facts and science.

Please tell us

A. What your opinion is
B. Why you have it, and why we should consider and respect it.

If you have formed your opinion on scientific data, which I assume you have (although I cannot know until you actually say something instead of crying wolf) then I will happily respect and may consider your opinion as a factor as to weather I should change my own.

Everyone here is not here representing a side. We are here to gain knowledge and spread knowledge we do have. That's what science is.

I mean Michael you literally cut down Elroch's post to make it look like he meant something he didn't.
Elroch

I think he made a genuine (but avoidable) mistake: it looks as if he thought I had written one line that I quoted from Fetchy.

A sad story in Africa [edit] which has been put down to the effect of climate change.

Giant African baobab trees die suddenly after thousands of years

Haha, this is typical climate change nonesense, they have zero evidence of the cause of the trees dying and so they try to blame GW. These trees are ancient and have happily lived though far greater climate variations than the last few years and yet they "suspect" climate change as the cause without even bothering to rule out other possible causes, that's idiotic. Man made climate change is one of the new religions of which you're well and truly indoctrinated in, if you opened your mind you would start to see the BS but if you lived long enough, you'd still deny it right into the middle of the next ice age.

People like you are wrong most of the time, because you guess wildly like you have in this post, without the slightest knowledge of the subject. Ignorance is indeed bliss. You are not even aware that the changes in global climate in the last century have been greater than any in the preceding lifetime of these trees.

By contrast, the scientists have put forward an informed hypothesis. It is clearly  no co-incidence that most of these trees - which are thousands of years old - are dying at the same time. Something is causing that and it is very likely to be a change caused by humans. One of the largest changes caused by humans is that in the climate (observed in the weather records of that specific region, which is all that is relevant to this subject).

I should also emphasise that the scientists did not claim to be certain about the cause. They put it forward as a good hypothesis that needed to be tested, and the article mentioned this. But then you probably didn't even read it. Why would you? It's not as if you want to improve your knowledge.

Elroch

No, you are incorrect that there is any precedent for the recent spike in global temperatures within the lifetime of those baobab trees (a couple of thousand years). Why would you believe such a thing?

The most significant sharp changes in the past are the cold year or two that follow the very largest volcanic events (due to dust in the upper atmosphere, mainly), but these are transient events that fade quickly. You can be sure that anthropogenic global warming will not do so, because that is what the science tells us. (The little ice age can be considered the largest fluctuation in global temperatures in the 2000 years before the 20th century, but it was far less pronounced than the recent warming).

Here is a (slightly out of date) graph of past temperatures reconstructed using several independent methods that all give the same general picture with a couple of significant divergences that must be due to uncertainty, but which all remain within a quite narrow range of temperatures.

null

Note that although this graph makes my point unambiguously, more recent temperatures have spiked way above the end of that graph (which was just a few years ago). Here is the recent global average temperature record showing the part not on the graph above (the rise from around 0.5 degrees anomaly to almost 1.0 degrees in just a few years), which leaves no doubt about the fact that the recent temperature rise has no counterpart in the past 2000 years (and in much longer, actually). Uncertainties in the recent temperature data are also displayed, and can be seen to be essentially irrelevant.

null

And why would you have the ridiculous idea that I think climate change is the only evil? This is based solely on your own wild imagination. There are many other "evils" that the human race needs to address as it has in the past and continues to with the problems of disease, air pollution, starvation, destruction of ecosystems, extinctions and so on. It just happens that several of these things are significantly associated with climate change.

Lol, you don't seriously believe those graphs do you,

I do, because I have much better knowledge and understanding than you of how scientists work, and the specific facts about this data.

In particular, there have been no significant corrections to the modern data, which is where by far the strongest signal is seen. (The only significant correction to the older data was (1) well-justified and (2) has no significant effect on the overall pattern because it was a small correction to a minority of the data).

data has been proven to have been manipulated numerous times,

No (see above). Only an ignorant conspiracy wacko could suggest the signal observed across the entire world and accepted by the entire scientific community and all the world's governments (except one clown) is not real. The same sort of person who thinks no-one has ever set foot on the Moon and vaccination is not as effective as homeopathy.

if you open your eyes and look, you can find, for example, temperature records published a few decades ago, republished but "adjusted upwards"  for the exact SAME data yet the unimformed ( and gullible ) believe without question. Look around you for goodness sake, everybody's at it, the police manipulate crime figures, they simply threw away 1000's of reported crimes ( proven ) the NHS manipulate A&E waiting times by leaving ambulances outside, teachers manipulates SATS results, the government manipulates unemployment figures and... well you name it, they've lied about it, and yet you believe all this human climate change data is all honest and truthful despite everything else we're told is ful of lies, seriously!!!  😂😂😂😂 You were correct about one thing in your first comment though, ignorance is bliss 

So you have convinced yourself that all numbers are fake based on random unconnected examples from non-scientific sources. As a mathematician and scientist, I have to point out that not only are you wrong but your reasoning is crazy.

You have found a great way to stay utterly ignorant. I presume you ignore the health warnings on cigarette packets and think drinking and driving without a seat belt is an expression of freedom.

First of all I'll answer your concluding flippant comment, I always wear a seatbelt, never drink and drive and would not dream of putting one of those poisonous sticks anywhere near my mouth, yuk. As for the rest, you just don't get it because your mind is set in stone and you refuse to accept the possibility that you are being conned. The difference between you and I is my view has wavered both sides of this humam climate change as I've looked at it with an open mind, the deeper I look, the more lies I see, if that makes me a " conspiracy wacko "  then that beats being one of the gullible sheep that follow and question nothing, there's definately plenty of wacko conspiracy theories out there but only a fool would believe they're all false. You could of course try opening your mind and look at both sides but that's not going to happen so I'll leave you in your happy world where everything is truthful and honest and noboby fiddles anything, as for me, I'm heading back to the real world 🙋

You can question anything you like - the theory of relativity, the microbial theory of infectious disease, the theory of Evolution or whatever. Heck, you can question the distributivity of multiplication over addition (a law of arithmetic) if you like. But where you come to conclusions that are contradicted by well-established, solid rational and scientific conclusions, your chances of ever being right are negligible. This is why you don't have a right for your poorly founded science denying thoughts to be treated as anything but mistakes.

If you are saying all these graphs have been manipulated, can I ask you two things.

1. Can I have proof this is so?
2. Why is that so?
3. What graphs or evidence do you believe is correct?
4. Why do you believe so? Could those graphs not have been manipulated?
5. So you believe that if I went to the Arctic or Antarctic with a few thousand pounds worth of equipment (as others have done.) I would not get those same results?

Haven't you considered the possibility that if it was all fixed someone would break ranks and be a whistle-blower. That hasn't happened and all the data points to the same conclusion - the planet is warming and co2 pollution is the main contributor to that rise. 

But (as VicountVonJames said above) by all means show us the data you are working from in order to draw the conclusions you have.

You might consider yourself an independent thinker or someone who is open minded but your conclusions are the result of manipulation by people who stand to make vast sums of money. And resorting to conspiracy theories is evidence of a paranoid and deluded mind.

Some news of concern this week: apparently the last few decades have shifted so far from equilibrium that Antarctica is losing ice 3 times faster than it was before 2012 - well over 200 billion tonnes of ice melting each year.

wicki, people have come forward and questioned this, many have been vilified and lets face it, these people know  which side of the fence the funding's on and for most of them, if you have doubts, you're likely to keep your mouth shut at the risk of losing your job.

"And resorting to conspiracy theories is evidence of a paranoid and deluded mind."

I'm neither paranoid or deluded, I simply don't blindly trust, I question everything, and so should you, as I stated earlier, so many different organizations have lied and fiddled their figures, it's human nature unfortunately, ask yourself, why would this be any different.       

 

 

Nonsense. Any scientist who had data that supported a different conclusions would instantly have a well paid job with one of the big oil companies and would become famous (assuming their results were correct) as being someone who advanced human knowledge and changed society. 

You think someone is going to give that up chance if they have it? 

And by the way, I do question everything. I question why there are vested interests who want to carry on polluting our air with co2 and who have distorted the argument and succeeded in enlisting the gullible into making their arguments for them. 

Ask yourself why there was no furore over CFC's a few years back. Scientists realised that ozone was being depleted by certain chemicals and the end result was the Montreal Protocal, which mostly solved the problem. Recent measurements indicate there are new sources of the ozone depletion chemicals possibly coming from Chinese landfill and companies there that break up old fridges. 

But the point is there was little controversy because the chemicals in question were fairly easily replaced - there was little financial impact. Changing from fossil fuels will have a huge impact and will not be easy but it still has to be done. And part of the reason it is so difficult is because it is a problem that will not affect most of us that much. Future generations is another story. The climate is changing gradually - some changes are already apparent at 1 degree above pre-industrial levels. After 3 or 4 degrees rise there will be massive consequences.

You should have questioned the source of that graph before posting it. It came from the climate change denier, Roy Spencer.

Yeah, could have picked a different graph, but there's graphs and data  from a whole range of sources showing different results from supposedly the same data, each one showing their particlar slant, all these graphs should be the same with no bias and that was my point. Scale minmums and maximums are chosen to give the impression of massive temperature swings when in reality it's less than a °c which is tiny compared to long term variations.

If 99 people say "1+1=2" and one person says "1+1=3", you'd be right to conclude that "something" is wrong. Your mistake is to thus view both "1+1=2" and "1+1=3" with equal scepticism.

mooly9, 

To accuse anyone of falsifying or adjusting data you have to be conspiracy theorist. In reality scientists are interested in getting to the truth regardless of where that takes them. 

You quoted Roy Spencer, but his ideas have been shown to be wrong by peer review. He has had to revise his findings so many times it is embarrassing. There is a consensus and the vast majority of people support it.

If 98 doctors told you that you had to give up smoking or you will get cancer, and 2 said its ok to carry on smoking - who are you going to listen to? I reckon you would do the right thing and stop smoking. But you seem to think it's ok to be complacent with the climate because it will be someone else's problem. Maybe your children (if you have any) or grandchildren will have to pay the price of your inaction (although they won't because more sensible people are taking action to change things).

And all of this just to support the use of fossil fuels which will run out in less than 100 years anyway. 

Is it really worth putting human development and long term prosperity in jeopardy just so a few fat cat oil company bosses can get even richer? Especially when there is a viable alternative.
