They want the idea of MMGW to be magical, not scientific, in character.

Correct. It is a religious cult; it is not a scientific movement.

Will you please read them again, very carefully, and then point out the lies for those of us who can not find them?

Thanks.

I have a theory. I have no evidence to support it whatsoever, but I CHOOSE to believe it:

The ban on atmospheric testing of nuclear weapons spelled the beginning of the end for all humankind.

The particulate matter such testing spewed in to the upper atmosphere was helping to keep global warming at bay.

Following the ban, it took more than 50 years for the positive effects of atmospheric nuclear testing to dissipate; but now that they have diminished to near zero the planet will be so hot as to be unlivable by the year 2050. If want to save the earth we MUST bring back above-ground testing of nuclear weapons!

That is my theory. I LOVE my theory. I shall entertain NO arguments against it, no matter how factual they may be, and no matter how much evidence to the contrary is presented!

CO2 is NOT a greenhouse gas, and according to geologic record it increases in the atmosphere 400-800 years AFTER the warming.

I believe you but I also know that globull warming is just an organized scam against man... the largest ever conceived and its end is one of the transfer of wealth and power to one class of ruling elite.

#1 THERE HAS BEEN NO WARMING IN THE PAST 17 YEARS

#2 IF THERE HAS BEEN NO WARMING IN 17 YEARS, MAN COULD NOT POSSIBLY CAUSE IT

What exactly is “global warming” anyway? That’s really four questions:

1. Is the globe warming? *******Probably********(Lie). Global temperatures have risen**********(Lie). Climate changes. Always has. Always will.

2. Is the warming caused by man? Maybe. There’s decent evidence that at least some of it is*********(Lie).

"Probably" is a lie? And by the way, global temperatures HAVE risen over the period in which records have been kept.

"Maybe. There's decent evidence that at least some of it is" qualifies as an expression of opinion. Sort of like YOUR opinion that "man could not possibly" cause it.

I believe the truth of hard evidence and all hard evidence points to weather stations placed so as to increase the temps that they record, data massaged for the same end (hockey stick East Anglia) and peer reviewed data that is based on all falsified data. You are free to believe whatever you want to believe but even the head climatologist from MIT is calling out these criminal con men.

Thank you for bestowing my freedoms on me.

If you read my postings here, you might find that I am, for the most part, in agreement with you - uo to the point where you called John Stossel a liar.

Which I am more than free to do. I bestowed nothing... I just do not want to argue with you over this... you will not change my mind and I am not going to change yours. Therefore I see no reason to continue in a circular argument. We can see things differently and still be fellow FReepers. My name is not Cuomo.

I think our point is that had you read the rest of the article, you would see that essentially, we are all in agreement with the conclusions in the article. Stossel is on our side!

The world has real problems, though: malaria, malnutrition, desperate poverty. Our own country, while relatively rich, is deep in debt. Obsessing about greenhouse gases makes it harder to address these more serious problems.

Which, of course, is exactly what the liberals want to do. They would rather rant about climate change than explain how they plan to deal with the national debt or Obamacare.

The globe is warming since 1979 unless you don't believe satellites function as they were designed: http://www.drroyspencer.com/latest-global-temperatures/ The source of that warming can be CO2 in theory. The rise in CO2 is manmade with nearly no doubt based on estimates of fossil fuel use. There is definitely natural variation and that includes some of the warming measured by the satellite.

To say some scientific claim is a "lie" means there is "proof" which automatically means it is not science, but dogma.

Good points. We can’t really do anything about greenhouse gases without draconian measures. And we shouldn’t really try to. If there is any warming, or sea level rising, whether it be of natural or man made causes, we should adapt.

So far, we haven’t see anything like what the models predict.

Don’t give up your freedom to a bunch of liberals who want to rule the world. They’re not half as bright as they think they are.
