"A UN panel said Friday it was more certain than ever that humans were causing global warming and predicted temperatures would rise by 0.3 to 4.8 degrees Celsius (0.5-8.6 degrees Fahrenheit) this century."
Gee thanks IPCC -- with that range from NOTHING_Burger to CALAMITY, that's NOT "settled science".... That's the point I was making to RealDave above... And that's the problem..
Because ANY actual result in that range is "likely" and THAT is NOT sufficient guidance to send our economies back to the Stone Age.. EVEN IF --- we could....
Furthermore, what's NOT STATED in that article is EQUALLY important.. What WAS the "co2 emission assumptions" that were used for THAT number.. And does the same modeling "back project" accurately?
There is no adequate consensus.. Because a consensus is on ONE question at a time. And GW/CC has about 100 key questions.. So there is no "general" consensus on ALL of it...
GW/CC have no scientific consensus?
What planet are you on?
What question is that consensus on? Because a scientific consensus requires a VERY LIMITED AND SPECIFIC question.. That's how this sciency works....
State the SPECIFIC question this supposed "consensus" is on.. And realize that you need to ask a HUNDRED questions to get enough consensus on climate change to even ponder future public policies....
Like "what's the temperature anomaly GONNA BE in 2100" ?????????
I just showed that there is NO CONSENSUS on that one worth turning everything inside out....
You need to ask a 100 questions to believe that GW/CC is not happening?
And just what is "turning everything inside out" supposed to mean? Is that like the day some ape discovered fire and an ape you asked 100 questions before acknowledging its reality?
You didn't answer my question of what YOU are claiming has consensus.. And YES, there are over a hundred CRITICAL questions that must be asked and have consensus before your minions of morons go around haranguing everyone about "what's to be done about it"....
Knowing what fraction of the MINUTE warming that has occurred is due to anthropogenic Co2 emissions does NOT GUIDE the solution without KNOWING what the projected temperature in 2100 is gonna be.. Similarly, you need to know how much confidence is in the modeling that is the root of the projections, what assumptions drive the models and how accurate the estimates of critical climate variables are actually known..
Did you understand REAL CONSENSUS on the very limited question of whether the PUBLIC was understanding what climate science ACTUALLY says? By a LARGE MAJORITY, climate scientists agree that the public knowledge of what the science is warped and distorted...
You're one of those haranguers... Too lazy to THINK like a scientist, and too politically rabid to have a conversation with...
"Haranguers"?
I don't have to "think like a scientist" to come to a realization that GW/CC is real and that it is man made. I can with 100% certainty accept the determination of actual scientists and scientific organizations that GW/CC is real and poses a threat to our way of life.
You have nothing but doubt sowing and NO scientific organization to back opinion that cow farts are natural, so don't worry. Why is it that NO scientific organization will back your opinion?
