Momentum Shifts to Skeptics on Global Warming Debate
Live Science ^ | Feb 11, 2010 | Robert Roy Britt

Posted on 02/12/2010 3:59:14 AM PST by decimon

Eroding confidence in climate science punctuated by a pair of blizzards has global warming skeptics across the United States calling for a sharp rollback to years of political and industrial efforts to curb greenhouse emissions thought to contribute to global warming.

Climate scientists are on the defensive, and they're not backing down. >

"People who are opposed to solving the carbon-climate problem have lost the scientific debate," said Ken Caldeira of the Carnegie Institution Department of Global Ecology. "Therefore, they have had to move from discussion of the facts to character assassination, innuendo, and the politics of the personal attack."

Caldeira told LiveScience today that he views the tactics as "disgusting." But he sees a silver lining in them: "These are the death throes of a wounded opposition," he said.

"These are the death throes of a wounded opposition,"

Remember that phrase Doc. I have a feeling you and your band of liars and cheats will be hearing it more and more.

It is long past time for us to change the tone of this fight. The people who have been spewing this man-made global warming BS do not deserve any titles other than “quack,” “charlatan” or “con artist” and should be treated as such!

A lazy writer who couldn’t bother to look up a comment from a skeptic scientist.

Nowadays when I see such arrogance from the warm-mongers I think, "How much of my tax money is this parasite stealing? How much is his "Institution of Global Ecology" stealing from American taxpayers?"

Ken Caldeira Testifies to Congress on Geoengineering

Can global warming be mitigated by a technological fix such as injecting light-blocking particles into the atmosphere or chemically “scrubbing” excess greenhouse gases from the atmosphere? Global Ecology's Ken Caldeira addressed this question in his testimony to Congress in a hearing titled “Geoengineering: Assessing the Implications of Large-Scale Climate Intervention.”

This jerk-wipe is penning pretty good satire and doesn't even know it.

Well well well...discussion of the facts indeed.

Would someone be so kind as to inform heir professors Gerlich and Tscheuschner that they have lost the debate, you know the ‘scientific’ debate, german-grade uber-precise exposition of theoretical physics notwithstanding?

People are not as dumb as some politicians and activist think. They tell us the recession is over and Obama stimulus is creating jobs, yet they see otherwise. ( Where in the world if you had a sum of money would you invest it? )

Now they say because its cold and snowing its Climate change.

He’s staying on the offensive. Beats having to explain himself.

"These are the death throes of a wounded opposition,"

Next, these frauds will offer a computer model "proving" the opposition is dead.

Of cause, it too will be based on rigged computer program code & "enhanced" data. But again, they will declare the debate closed & bill taxpayers for this "research."
