Climategate: the final nail in the coffin of 'Anthropogenic Global Warming'?

Bill what would it take for your to change you mind on AGW? How long would the planet have to cool?



I know that you didn't ask me directly, but I think it's an excellent question.

For me, at least, if the broad consensus in the scientific community reversed it might change my mind.

Quote

How much, and what type of proof would you need?



The scientific method doesn't work that way. Theories are not proven. Instead, hypotheses are tested. If the results of the test are consistent with a theory, that theory gains strength and credibility. If the test is not consistent, then the theory is modified.

A theory is not disproved by hacking emails and taking what some scientists say out of context.



And a theory is not proven when data is hidden, destroyed or ignored because it does not support your hypotheses.

A theory is not proven when papers are NOT ALLOWED to be peer reviewed.

And never should there ever ever be science by " consensus". That is a joke all by itself

Hannity's not even close on 2009 temperatures

"In three separate instances over two weeks, Sean Hannity has baselessly asserted that "this is one of the coldest years on record" to claim that climate change is a "hoax" or not "real." In fact, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS), and Britain's Met Office have stated that to date, 2009 is among the warmest years on record."

Too bad that's not what the AGW folks did - when the results didn't match the hypothesis, they changed the data until it DID match, instead of changing the hypothesis.

>Bill what would it take for your to change you mind on AGW?

A change in our understanding of radiative heat transfer, atmospheric chemistry, the CO2 cycle and geology. Actually two of those four would probably be sufficient.



So, proof that the AGW scientists were falsifying data and results carries no weight with you.

Interesting.

Certainly blows any argument of objectivity out of the water.

>This thread has gotten very quiet very quickly

Seemed to happen as soon as I asked you to back up your statements. Coincidence?




There was a book written within the last 10 years that names everyone of those who's emails have now been published. Everything they were doing was pointed out at that time. The author got ripped to shreds.

So, the emails now public are not something that exposes anything, it validates it. Coincidence?

But, it has never been like you to drag a thread off topic. And now, with the very "scientists" you so routinely quoted so thoroughly discredited, I have say how you are keeping a stiff upper lip

At least the effects in our atmosphere may have just been handed a large change, seeing how the data used to support these is now shown to be less than repeatable.

If you're referring to "...trick..." and " ...hide the decline...", you might want to wait for real proof, if any, that data was falsified. I have seen no proof of falsified data.

I have, however, seen proof of lack of objectivity, intent to stifle dissent, intent to interfere with peer review, intent to interfere with publication of scientific research, proof of collusion with non-scientific groups, proof of money chasing, etc.

I am not. M&M have attempted to publish reviews of Mann and Briffa's work but were (imagine THAT) not granted peer review. Now we know at least some of the reason why.

There's already been stuff that's shown where temperature data was jiggered with (Mann's "Nature Trick" and more recently 'flipping proxies), as well as the 'magic disappearing proxies' that Mann and Briffa used. The emails are just icing on the cake.

I'm sure that Bill or kallend would LOVE to chime in with 'where's the peer-reviewed papers, then', but we've already seen THOSE emails, too.

Correct. Just as proof that deniers are funded by oil companies, have done the same for smoking, have falsified data and have lied about their qualifications carries no weight with you.

I have seen this site come up a couple of times lately in my searchs. Not very familar with them yet but they do an interesting piece on the CRU and the emails releated to the global warming fraud that is now exposed. This links posts to a pending law suit against NASA for the withholding of docs ordered realed in an FOIA case among other things

Only in your mind. Which should be no change; you have never given any scientist who disagrees with you a hint of credit.



And I have been prove right now havent I!!

Withheld docs and data, manipulated data and models are now proof that this whole scam was never about climate, but rather an attempt to force others live as the GW nuts think we should all live.

The arogance and disgusting attitude is from that side as now all who care to look can see

Nope. The facts of AGW still hold:

1) CO2 is a greenhouse gas
2) We have been increasing its concentration due to our CO2 emissions
3) Increases in CO2 result in more heat retained in the radiative system that is the Earth

Funny - when deniers do that you consider them heroes.

Still waiting on those links, BTW. If you want to claim one side "withheld data" it would be nice for you not to do the same thing.

Still holds :D:D:D

Except the data now known does not support your position. Along with those "scientists" you so oft refered to and quoted.

ya, those three points you list are in play. And if they were the only points in play then you would have a point. But, since it now has been proven that data/studies/papers that did NOT support the church of man made global warming. have been withheld to keep the myth (the god) all powerful there must me more to it. More that is yet to be understood. Which has been the position of the deniers all along.

I think you have misinterpreted the information in the emails.

It isn't the smoking gun you seem to think it is.

You are unbelievable.

Kallend didn't say that the quote wasn't in the link, he said that the rest of the link completely debunks the quoted part.

The quote is from the NZCSC attacking the NIWA. The link is to a blog post that explains exactly why the NZCSC's criticism is wrong, and based on exactly the kind of data manipulation they are accusing the NIWA of.

That you could actually read the post that you linked to and only take away from it the fact that the NIWA was accused of manipulating data is, as I said, unbelievable.

Dude, I made no claims about was or was not correct. I posted a link to show a "scandal" that may on one side or the other.

The point? AWG prpoents are going to be hard pressed to be trusted anymore. Science by "consensus" is being shown for the fraud it has always been (regardless or ones opion)

Sure the shit is going to fly. But the deniers will not and should not fear the bull shit harasment pitched by the AWG supporters anymore.
Now maybe a real debate can be had
