Global Warming causes worst winter on record in Ann Arbor?
Ann Arbor has had the snowiest winter ever, or at least since 1880 when record-keeping started. The winter doesn’t end until the end of April, or at least the snow doesn’t end until then.
Slowly but surely more people are questioning the Global Warming theory. Now there is talk that the warming has reversed. No doubt this is part of the vast Exxon Global Warming disinformation conspiracy, but is there really data that supports the idea that temperatures are coming down since 2002?
Dude, all of this has been addressed for you a DOZEN TIMES. But you’ll always ignore any piece of evidence that you find inconvenient, and always cling to every little shred that seems to support your preferred point of view. Climatologists have been telling us for over a decade that harsher winters in some areas would be a likely side effect of global warming, and now you’re saying that the fact that they were right about that is proof that they’re wrong?
I swear, if Christ himself appeared before you and said “Global warming is real and it’s your fault,” you’d tell him to go screw himself…

Ever occur to you this is what is know as a “long con”? Yes, isn’t it convenient that “experts” say that Global Warming could cause harsh winters. It even can cause growth in Antarctic ice. Floods, droughts, receding hairlines, and obesity can be caused by Global Warming. It doesn’t mean that they are.

Yeah… I notice how much driving a scooter and using twisty bulbs has cost me. Man, am *I* ever being conned.

To be a conservative, it is well known that you must suffer from a lack of knowledge, biased information and ignorance… but do you also have to be a liar too? I guess so.
The link is about Jennifer Marohasy, a biologist and senior fellow of Melbourne-based CONSERVATIVE think tank the Institute of Public Affairs. Can’t you give us one fucking “scientist” that isn’t on the take from a CONSERVATIVE thinktank? Is your argument so weak and are you so dumb that you have you find these assholes in Limbaugh land and believe their LIES. Dumbfuck.

I see. So anyone who does not believe the CO2 fairy tale is either a liar or a dumbfuck? Is there a third option?
You actually judge people by their Bio’s? Do you give any regard to what they say?

Yes, and I believe jim provided it: Person is on the take from Big Fossil Fuels. That accounts for about 99% of the denial “experts.” I’m surprised you hadn’t figured that one out, even as slow as you are.

Ever noticed how the only people who are really, really edged out by Global Warmalism are the farthest left, the real screwball types; Jim, William, for example?
These people want something like Globull Warming to be fact so’s they can make political hay against evil BusHitler neocons who favor Capitalism! and stuff. As if they won’t suffer as much (even the scooter bunnies like JeffP) if everything comes crashing down around their ears, economically speaking.
Oh, and Jim, go fuck yourself. Slowly, in a corner.

Speaking of “go fuck yourself,” you can go ahead and do that, if you think that I care about global warming because it advances some political agenda. I know it’s hard for you me-me-me conservatives to comprehend, but some of us actually believe the problem is real and needs to be addressed, and believe this for wholly unselfish reasons. Unlike you fuckers, who only care about your personal convenience, comfort, and profit in the here-and-now. If we’re fucking up the world for the next generation, who the hell gives a shit? Certainly not YOU, that’s for GODDAMN certain.
But I understand that you’re intellectually infantile, and therefore you HAVE to deny the very POSSIBILITY of global warming — because if global warming IS real and IS a problem, you wouldn’t have the first fucking clue what to do to fix it, and even worse, you’d have to admit you were wrong about something important. So it’s MUCH easier for you just to put on your tinfoil hat and pretend that the overwhelming majority of scientists the world over are involved in some kind of grand conspiracy designed to make libertarians look bad.
If you want to spend your life with your head up so far up your ass you can smell your esophagus*, that’s your business. But that doesn’t mean you have to be an asshole to everybody else about it, and impugn their integrity right out of the gate.
Here’s the biggest problem with your claim that global warming is some grand liberal conspiracy: the people who acknowledge it as a legitimate problem come from all across the political spectrum — liberals, conservatives, and even libertarians — but those who deny it are almost exclusively conservative/libertarian types. So which is the side that’s politically motivated here?
* - I expect a photoshop depicting this, by the way.

No, some people believe in the possibility of global warming, but not the probability.
BTW, you have yet to explain why the sea temperature has not gone up as predicted. That is a fly in your ointment.
The latest news about climate change is so alarming (the right wing would say alarmist) as to make many people want to plant their aching heads in the sand. Some scientists using advanced computer models now argue that if we want to stop the Earth from warming, the amount of carbon we should be emitting is … none. None? As in, zero? As in, shutting down the global industrial economy? After all, global energy demand is expected to accelerate until at least 2020. Yet attempts even to slow the rate of increase of carbon emissions have paralyzed world politics for more than a decade.
[…] religious faith, amongst the proponents of Global Warmalism. Look no further than the comments to Number 9’s post yesterday, and you’ll see vitriol directed at ‘non-believers’. Anyone who […]
As predicted, Global Warming is causing it to snow this morning in East Tennessee. It is a balmy 31 degrees. But as we know, weather is not climate.
Number 9:
BTW, you have yet to explain why the sea temperature has not gone up as predicted.
This illustrates my point beautifully. There will always be some point of detail that can’t be fully explained. Every time you find one of these, you point it out. Every time it gets explained, you just move on to another one. You’re swatting at gnats, and ignoring the evidentiary big picture.
But as we know, weather is not climate.
No, it’s not. If it rains in Phoenix, does that disprove the statement that Phoenix has an arid climate? If Phoenix gets an unusual amount of rain in a year, say 11 inches, does that prove that Phoenix isn’t an arid climate? Until you understand what “climate” is, and what it means, you just embarrass yourself.
You agree with me that weather is not climate, then you ask me if I think weather is climate. Are you 12 years old?
You are asking people to take this theory on faith. Why are you so surprised people won’t? Is there faith in science?
I construed your statement that “weather is not climate” as an attempt to head off the well-established point that a cold winter in a particular region does nothing to refute global warming theory. My comment was written in that context.
And no, I’m not asking people to take this theory “on faith.” I’m asking them to honestly and thoroughly assess the body of scientific evidence as a whole, rather than pretending every yabut they come up with is a death knell to the theory (until it’s addressed, at which point they look for another yabut).
