But just so you know I am not looking. I don't need to as I am not working from a position of faith



Not looking for evidence because you know your position is right? That's pretty much the definition of faith.

No, that's what's at issue. So far, I haven't seen anything reputable that shows the data has been manipulated with deception in mind.

You think you have, but all your links are to fringe websites, and papers like the Washington Times.

If the data manipulation is so blatant, it should be easy to show us where a real scientist has reviewed it and found it lacking.

Well for me, it is not any ONE report or article
But the number of them

Add to this the fact than none of the earth ending predictions are being seen

The Hide the Decline
and the rest of the emails

All together?

Manipulation


How about the record ice extents that are being reported?
Are the polar bears dead now?

How many cities have we lost to coastal waters rising?
(and those who try in include normal coastal erosion to AWG are jokesters)

The list goes on Dan

and on and on and on......

Oh
And for the alarmists, even once reputable pro AWG scientists who have NOW changed their minds based on what they are seeing become pariahs to be destroyed so, nothing from anyone who questions this myth has any chance of being reputable with the followers of the religion that is Manmade climate change

Or in this case simple self-interest. He works in an industry that will do much better financially if fear, uncertainty and doubt can be sown over climate science.

You see this all the time. Even the most rabid right-winger, for example, will "find environmentalism" if he can use it to keep an unsightly development from being built near him. Such people are immune to reason; they just search the web to find stuff to support their position and use that without any critical thought. To them it's not an issue of ethics or morality or right vs wrong; it's a simple matter of self interest.

So you're going to hang your hat on "scandals" like the CRU e-mails that, once reviewed independently, were found not to be scandals at all?

Even though there's no evidence of manipulation, the fact that you're heard the story many times means it must be true? I guess the old mantra of, "say it enough times, and people will believe it,' is working on you.

There is a link upthread to explains the sea ice extent quite well. Have you read it?

Quote

Are the polar bears dead now?



Some are. I don't think anyone predicted they'd all be dead by now. Do you dispute that the northwest passage is open for a longer time each year? Is that "manipulated data"?

Quote

How many cities have we lost to coastal waters rising?



None. Who said we'd lose cities to ocean rise by 2014?

If you based your arguments in facts, like you want GW believers to do, you'd sound more credible.

As for credibility?

At this point John, nothing more is needed
All you stood behind is being shot down
Lieing, deception, manipulation, none of the predictions following the alarm!!!

So as usual, you come out this way:D
thanks for being consistant if nothing else

I would take anything NEW you might come across
My mind can be changed
Cause it has already!
I once DID believe man could cause global warming
Not anymore
Unless you got something else

So a shitty newspaper posts a story about a journal that has nothing to do with climate. Then you try and use that article to support your opinion on purposely manipulated climate science.

All while claiming a superior understanding of science.

This is pretty good!!

Marc, every time a piece of data comes out that supports your position that climate change isn't happening, you rush to post it here.

But when a report comes out that is counter to your beliefs, you claim it must be the product of manipulated data, peer review fraud, or biased because of politics.

Do you truly not see your confirmation bias? It is obvious to everyone else.

Let's start with post #264 of this thread. You never responded to it.



Actually, it is a perfect example of the point I have been making

What is happen with the ice is NOT what was predicted is is!
So, here we go again with someone trying to explain away why the observations are not matching the dire predictions
So, as I have pointed out before, there are still way too many not understood factors to blame or claim anything

This paper is a theory we now have based on real observations
So, is this new? Not really. It is an attempt (IMO) to keep the alarmism hi

Now, all of these ideas may be real. Do you know they are or do you just take them at face value becuae it is what you want to beleive

Me? I done know but this I do know, it does not support AWG theory

Science progresses. Understandings change. When something doesn't fit the predictions, you try to understand why. You don't just throw your hands up and say, "It's all a scam!!!"



Exactly
Unless you are an AWG supporter

ANY info contrary to that view is labled a scam
As are those who actively question is
EVEN if you were once a revered supporter
Change your mind based on on observation and investigation you become a pile of shit
