Andrewwhyte 1 #9 December 10, 2009 QuoteThey are both complete jackasses to be sure, and I am sure they are wrong on every point, I just need someone to help me refute their data. Why? If you are interested in the truth you will question all data, not just that you disagree with. More importantly you will limit your inquiries to people whose training indicates they might know something. ie scientists. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brenthutch 444 #10 December 10, 2009 Is Dr Michael Mann (Introduced to me as "Mr global warming") good enough for you? During a 1/2 hour conversation at a local watering hole, we shot the global warming breeze, about 6 months ago. It turns out that he was lying to my face and used data he knew to be false to support his position. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andrewwhyte 1 #11 December 10, 2009 As I said, question all data. Being a scientist doesn't mean he's right. But not being a scientist means the best he can do is quote someone else's (a scientist perhaps) work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DanG 1 #13 December 10, 2009 QuoteTo be specific, I asked him about the lack of warming in the last 10 years.

The ten years since have been cooler, therefore the deniers say that the planet has been cooling for the last ten years. Even a cursory look at the temperature data shows that the planet is still warming, there just happened to be a particularly hot year ten years ago. - Dan G Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For a scientist, that sort of accusation is just about as welcome as an accusation of child molestation. I'm curious... if you met him in the bar face to face again, what exactly would you accuse him of? How would you back up your accusation? This whole climategate business is almost as bad as the McCarthy hearings; possibly worse since the communist party did actually exist. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I suggest you learn some science BEFORE criticizing scientists. Um, there has been extensive discussion in the climate community about the "pause" in warming with no explanation. No volcano or strong La Nina. It just stalled. Today - 1998 is an outlier. Nothing to see there. 1999 - this is way worse that we predicted. By 2008, we expect to see a .2 degree increase from this. This is a wakeup call to all and proof. John - nobody predicted this decade-long pause. Not predicted. Data does not match the predictions. We can compare the data with the predictions. They don't match, and match less and less. I personally want an answer. I've explained my theories but lack the data to show it. I reckon I could manufacture some, find some proxies, etc., and disprove a couple of them. My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
