Man-made Global Warming debate stifled by censorship & intimidation

[Laissez-faire capitalist]

NASA has confirmed that Jupiter, Mars and Pluto are all experiencing Global warming?

How?

Undoubtedly humans are drilling for oil and building coal-fired power plants on those planets.

The Astronomy Picture of the Day, may 23rd, 2008, has the info on Jupiter

http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap080523.html

Jupiter is experiencing global warming.

[Laissez-faire capitalist]

Yes, Mars, Jupiter, Pluto and even Triton are experiencing Global Warming.

Must be Anthropogenic in nature....

Man Made Global Warming Scam Perpetuate by Censorship and Distortion.

Man caused global warming is one of the most brilliant and insidious scams in human history. Imagine if you could convince a significant number of people that every natural, inconvenient phenomenon was due to nefarious activity by your political adversaries? It cleverly focuses animus for natural events on people you don’t like, costs nothing and requires no effort to precipitate, and endlessly feeds hatred and derision against your foes. The only downside is that your political constituency would be populated exclusively by morons, but the power you could wield would nonetheless be real.

We never hear key facts. For example, the primary “evil” greenhouse gas is carbon dioxide, but it’s only present in trace amounts in the atmosphere = 380 parts per million. The major “greenhouse gas” is actually water vapor. Politicians of both major parties would have us believe that man-made climate change is a big deal. But it’s really “political science”.

See this thread:

"Not Evil, Just Wrong - The True Cost of Global Warming Hysteria"

[Nateman]

I figure the true test of any warming is ocean level rising. The level is rising but the rate is so slow that even if it was man made it's something we can live with.

Another point these people never make is that Carbon Dioxide is a fertilizer for plants. They must have it in order to grow. This in turn leads to more, not less, life on Earth. Carbon Dioxide emissions are therefore GOOD for the environment, not bad.

Calling your enemy a witch thereby getting them killed I think ranks higher on the scam scale, but replace "Official Priest" with "Official Scientist" and it becomes clear history is once again repeating itself.

[GOPJ]

...there is a very disturbing pattern that shows any debate on previous data is being deliberately thwarted and/or quashed, and nothing new is allowed to be added.

Earmarks of a scam...

[USFRIENDINVICTORIA]

Anyone who says (about any scientific topic): "the science is settled"; or "the debate is over" -- is not a real scientist.

He may or may not be a moron -- those statements alone provide insufficient data to make that determination.

He may or may not be an eco-fascist. If he actively tries to shut down debate; he's likely a fascist. If the topic concerns ecology, and he actively tries to shut down debate; he's likely an eco-fascist.

Even if he's neither a moron, nor a fascist -- he's certainly unqualified to discuss scientific issues.

Unfortunately, many Gorebots are moronic eco-fascists.

[San Jacinto]

Some people believe that solar activity plays an important role in the condition of earth’s climate, but these “Sun warms the earth” people are generally regarded as crackpots by the more well informed, who understand that lawnmowers and BBQ grills are much more influential on earth’s temperature than is the far away sun.

That's sarcasm, right? ;-)

A better way to phrase that is 3.8 parts per 10,000.

Or round it off and say 4 parts per 10,000

[supercat]

“There is a scientific consensus” “No, there isn’t” “Yes, there is” “No, there isn’t”

Few debates are more silly than an argument over whether consensus exists on a subject. If the argument exists, consensus does not.

That's probably another reason liberals want to ban it. Liberals don't want to admit that it's possible to achieve a world where their economic theories don't hold water (liberal theories only hold for subsistence-level economies). Thus, they need to cripple all production to make the world fit their mold.

(nb: to those infected with Liberal Mind Fog, when the real world disagrees with their understanding, that implies that the world, rather than their understanding, is mistaken)

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Few debates are more silly than an argument over whether consensus exists on a subject. If the argument exists, consensus does not.

Bingo.

And no one is seeking consensus over say gravity. You do not need to have consensus over something that you can prove with repeatable testing under lab conditions. You don't need consensus over something that is provable mathematically.

You only need consensus over academic wild goose chases you are trying to get funding for.
