Robert F. Kennedy Jr. at LIVE EARTH
Kennedy calls "climate change" deniers to be "traitors" guilty of "treason," and that he'll "see all of you on the barricades." The video has been yanked from other websites. If you haven't heard it, click the link before it is yanked there too. It's still working and only 6 minutes long.
I can’t help the lettering used in the graphics at the source, but it has references.
This is why we need the Fairness Doctrine. If we had the Fairness Doctrine we could eliminate all discussion of solar radiation as a cause of warmth. We need the government to mandate what we can and cannot talk about on this, and all other, subjects.
Bzzt. Wrong answer. Temperature is only defined above -273.15 C (0 K). Even if the author meant degrees F, he failed to take into account the decay of radioactive material in the Earth that drives the massive planetary convection cycle that causes the plates to move. The surface temperature would certainly be much lower, but heat would still be transferred to the surface from deeper layers.
I just listened to the RFKjr speech. The writer of this article is obviously one of the “indentured servants of the oil industry”, suggesting (can you imagine) that solar radiation is related in any way to warmth.
Y’all are putting a lot of your eggs into an empirical basket.
If I thought credible experts disagreed about a complex empirical question, I wouldn’t think it appropriate to have a confident view on the matter.
But hey, YMMV :-))
An excellent article. Thanks for posting. I await with great anticipation the demise of the anthropogenic global warming fraud. Nothing would please me more than to see all of the doomsters have their “theory” relegated to the dust bin of history.
The point is that the increased heat causes outgassing of CO2 from the ocean - but that the heat comes first. Increased atmospheric CO2 is a BYPRODUCT of high insolation/incident solar radiation. The oceans are so vast that there is an (average) 800 yr lag between increased temperature and increased CO2 in the athmosphere. This has been shown from the Vostok Ice cores (see below)

Traitors to what ? Is there a Planetary Constitution ? Does that constitution state that human freedoms must be limited to prevent climate change ?
As much as I long to have the current crop of alamists (global warming this time) be humbled and embarrassed, it appears that the earlier global cooling alarmists just might have the last laugh. Hark! The ice age cometh!
This is an excellent article covering a lot of information about the historical climate and greenhouse gases that the climate scientists refuse to talk about.
Dr. Merrifield should be encouraged to publish more articles.
The American Thinker is not thinking too well Absolute Zero is about -273 C (-454 F).
Thanks ND. But lookie, someone’s repeating the mantra:
“This should settle the debate,” said Mike Lockwood, from the UK’s Rutherford-Appleton Laboratory, who carried out the new analysis together with Claus Froehlich from the World Radiation Center in Switzerland.

That could pretty much be inferred from the ice core data, as well as other indirect measurements of the historical temperature record.
We are due for the Big Cool Down. The actual temperatures are going to lag the solar input somewhat, because the earth has considerable thermal inertia.
Good Science bump.
