I guess that means they’re going with a “The Big Lie” strategy with Global Warming?

"The consequence of that is we are basically looking now at a future climate that is beyond anything that we've considered seriously,"

WOW, You mean it's even worse than "We're all gonna die!!" ?

"The consequence of that is we are basically looking now at a future climate that is beyond anything that we've considered seriously,"

Hooooo K ... anyone care to attempt to translate this into plain English?

Marohasy: "No, actually, there has been cooling, if you take 1998 as your point of reference. If you take 2002 as your point of reference, then temperatures have plateaued. This is certainly not what you'd expect if carbon dioxide is driving temperature because carbon dioxide levels have been increasing but temperatures have actually been coming down over the last 10 years."

Duffy: "Is this a matter of any controversy?"

Marohasy: "Actually, no. The head of the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) has actually acknowledged it. He talks about the apparent plateau in temperatures so far this century. So he recognises that in this century, over the past eight years, temperatures have plateaued ... This is not what you'd expect, as I said, because if carbon dioxide is driving temperature then you'd expect that, given carbon dioxide levels have been continuing to increase, temperatures should be going up ... So (it's) very unexpected, not something that's being discussed. It should be being discussed, though, because it's very significant."

Solution: Cease all life in China and India.

That oughta do it.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Then we need to have India and China to stop putting out so much CO2.

Somebody needs to tell these dumbasses that we’ve figured out their “global” scam and we aren’t buying it anymore. Time for them to all go out and find new careers. With the Commie ‘RATS in charge, the job market looks pretty good for con men.

... a top climate scientist said on Saturday

Except that Chris Field is not 'a top climate scientist'. Rather, Chris Field is a professor of biological sciences. So how much confidence can one have in his pronouncements and predictions about future climate changes?

Field said "the actual trajectory of climate change is more serious" than any of the climate predictions in the IPCC's fourth assessment report called "Climate Change 2007."

Translated into plain English, that means, "the climate predictions in the IPCC's fourth assessment report were wrong". Yet rather than putting that fact into the headline, Reuters runs with the alarmist headline of "Global warming seen worse than predicted".

Those Reuters "journalists" must have been educated way beyond their native abilities. Otherwise, how could they have misunderstood something so important that is staring them in right the face, huh...

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

They should all go over to China and India, every last one of them, to protest, lobby, march on Peking and generally disrupt China's economy like they have over here.

They can do it! They need to be convinced that this needs to be done ASAP. They should stage sit-ins, block tanks in Tienanmen Square, spike trees and truck tires, just raise havoc. The Chinese will listen, yes they will.

spurred by sharp increases in greenhouse gas emissions from developing countries like China and India

Hasn't the recent downturn caused these countries to have a sharp decrease on greenhouse emissions?

[USAF70]

And the Global Warming Conference attendees listened intently.

CHICAGO (Reuters) - The climate is heating up far faster than scientists had predicted, spurred by sharp increases in greenhouse gas emissions from developing countries like China and India, a top climate scientist said on Saturday.

No evidence is given anywhere in the article that this is the case.

"We now have data showing that from 2000 to 2007, greenhouse gas emissions increased far more rapidly than we expected, primarily because developing countries, like China and India, saw a huge surge in electric power generation, almost all of it based on coal," Field said.

He said that trend was likely to continue if more countries turned to coal and other carbon-intensive fuels to meet their energy needs. If so, he said the impact of climate change would be "more serious and diverse" than the IPCC's most recent predictions.

So what you're saying then is that there's no evidence whatsoever that things will be worse than in your original predictions. You're just saying that, had your questionable theories about greenhouse gases and doom been valid, all this extra CO2 would have made the situation worse. But your theories, and the models built around them, just haven't demonstrated any predictive powers. The fact that there may be more of the gas shown to have no effect on much of anything other than plants, just doesn't impress or frighten anymore. Sorry.
