I'm a member of AAPG, and I'm proud that they are taking this stance, despite the effort of liberal geologists to keep this statement from being written.

Don’t confuse us with the facts.

It’s refreshing. When I started to read the article I just knew it was going to be another jump on the bandwagon statement by a group of scientists looking for research grants. Congratulations to this group and you.

Thanks for the post HopeSprings. I wonder if the MSM will now publish the conclusions of 30,000 scientists that disputes the consensus of 2,000 “so-called” scientists.

Of course they still want plenty of grant money to keep flowing in from the Feds but their honesty is refreshing. ;-)

Libs will just dismiss this and insist the geologists were “bought” because it’s from the Association of Petroleum Geologists.

Thanks. As a geologist myself, I keep wondering why this is not being disseminated (get it?) further.

Of course the climate changes. Why would we need the word if it was static? As I posted in another thread, my grandmother called them seasons and told me they had been happening for a long time.

Just had this discussion with some people over the weekend. The overall goal of these “scientists” who wish to declare themselves gods is to CONTROL the climate. They want to regulate the temperature. I know they keep saying that there is a difference between weather and climate, but if they think that they can control the climate of the entire globe, I would first like to see them control a hurricane or a tornado or an earthquake or a volcanic eruption or a lightening storm.

Point being, it is extremely egotistical for these people to think that they can ever CONTROL the Earth’s climate. My guess is that in trying to control it, they will screw it up immeasurably.

Unfortunately any facts from this group will just be dismissed because they have petroleum in their name.

Thanks for reassuring me that common sense still lives and breathes in the crazy PC world we live in today. I hope it’s enough.

Notice the increased use of the words “Climate Change” lately. They discovered it was hard to convince the people in the Northeast that Global Warming was a serious problem at a time when they were facing their most brutal Winters in years.

Facts, we don't need any stinking facts, we have the Goracle to guide us.

Bend over, get ready to pay, Sen Inhofe estimates it will amount to $4,500 in new taxes a year per ... Read the MIT paper reference by Inhofe for more information.

Did the donks have this BTU tax in their plan, tell anyone about it, or did the hoax just come up?

Caves reveal clues to UK weather
by Tom Heap
At Pooles Cavern in Derbyshire, it was discovered that the stalagmites grow faster in the winter months when it rains more. Alan Walker, who guides visitors through the caves, says the changes in rainfall are recorded in the stalactites and stalagmites like the growth rings in trees. Stalagmites from a number of caves have now been analysed by Dr Andy Baker at Newcastle University. After splitting and polishing the rock, he can measure its growth precisely and has built up a precipitation history going back thousands of years. His study suggests this autumn's rainfall is not at all unusual when looked at over such a timescale but is well within historic variations. He believes politicians find it expedient to blame a man-made change in our weather rather than addressing the complex scientific picture.
I like that closing sentence -- "future decision-making could be made based on scientific data and not on political expediency". I wouldn't count on it, but that would be great.

Three “recent” papers are all more than 7 years old? There’s been some work done since then!
