Why? Because not everyone is sucking on IPCC's teats when they go about their business of purposly trying to 1) "prove" there is climate change instead testing whether there is one or not and 2) pin it on mankind rather than examining if any other factors may be invovled, like, ya know, that big glowing ball in the sky which dwarfs everything we do to parts of billions?

IPCC is not a homogenous body of scientists where everyone is involved in everything. They are also not homogenous in that they don't all agree with eachother. When it came to climate change and mankind's part in it, of the 2500 people that make up IPCC, only 62 had actually reviewed the chapter that claimed mankind is responsible for the perceived climate change. And of these 62, not all agreed and thought the report failed the review (shush!!!)... and a big bunch of them had a vested interest in claiming mankind is to blame. All in all we were left with only a handful of scientists with any kind of credibility left who claimed this. That's 5 in 2500.

Not-alarmed cat is not alarmed.

Personally I think combustion is bloody stupid, no matter if it's coal, oil, gas, garbage, pet or wood we're burning because combustion gases are BAD in that they kill 2 million people every year. We need to get all that shite replaced. Prefereably with nuclear because that's the only thing that can compete in volume, safety, price and reliability and thus constitutes the most attractive option to those that make the decisions.

Oh the ridiculous things I hear daily from creativionists... (I study evolution and related things and like to discuss them, so I sometimes end up talking to people like that)

I guess the old "Evolution is just a theory" should be mentioned, since it's something I hear way too often. It's just parroting that means the person talking has no idea what they are talking about.

I would advise that you bring to their attention that gravity is also "just a theory." Then test it by jumping up and down a few times with a smug look on your face.

Oh, oh! I have another one!

"Waste heat from nuclear plants are responsible for global warming!". And this came from a professor.

Quick math: Cross section of the earth is 40 000 000 meters (circumference), squared and divided by 4 PI. Average power from the sun of one square meter or the earth's surface is 1 kW. To be on the safe sid here I'll set it to 0.1 kW per square meter to account for that the energy might be more easilly deflected at high latitudes.

That gives us that the Earth is constantly heated by 12 700 000 000 000 000 Watts. In one year this amounts to 111 000 000 000 000 000 000 Watthours. Compare this to the waste heat of all of for instance Sweden's nuclear plats, which is 130 000 000 000 000 Wh. Lots and lots of zeroes... but the latter is actually 1.1 millionth of that. That 1/ 1 000 000.

And remember that this was concervative. I tuned down the actual solar effect to 1/10 just to be on the safe side.

Again: unimpressed cat is unimpressed.

This.

I hate to break it to you dude, but jumping on the celebrity bandwagon doesn't get you any gold medals. Err... Unless you win a Nobel Prize for making shit up.

The simplest issue is that a higher concentration of reflective gasses in the atmosphere will reflect a greater quantity of photons out into space than it will back down to Earth.

I'm gonna laugh when I'm cozy in my home with my fireplace and furnace and various heaters when an ice age rolls in. Really, really hard.

"How do they get LOL cats to say those things?" - Coworker

Honestly, I work IT for two companies - one is a processing 80 million credit cards, and the other is actually developing video games. Both of them seem to be filled with people who can somehow code well but still generate more stupidity than Rush Limbaugh and Hannity combined.

Also, trying to make a valid point and then saying, "Unimpressed cat is unimpressed," kind of defeats your intellectual argument. Text emulating LOLcats? That makes my head hurt.

"Interracial breeding messes up the child's jaw." an orthodontic technician said it while she was poking around in my mouth so I could not respond.
A proper response would have been to bite him. And afterwards you can blame it on your "messed up jawmuscles".

OT:
"Can you make it so when I open Firefox I get on the internet and not google?" - My mom. After my sister and I got her a new computer. Which, by now, I doubt she deserves.

Back when I was studying history this girl said (with a completly straight face) 'How do you spell USSR?'
Not said as a matter of fact, but still worth mentioning.

I move to ban all discussion on global warming before this thread turns into a flame war, make another thread to argue the existence or non-existence of the Gaia Microwave Effect.

My Resident Evil fanboy friend: "MGS has some of the worst dialogue ever. I WON'T LET YOU BECOME A DREAM!"
Me: Wow, you almost became a Jill sandwich.

All your crazy American politicians who say crap like "It's called the theory of evolution, because it is only a theory"

Thanks buddy, the fact that we all descended from apes is wayyyy worse then we all came from the most incestuous family of all time.

Hey mom, you look hot today in that leaf.
