Predictions

Toddster, the thread is about predictions for this year. Not about renewable energy or fossil fuels. I have made some definate predictions, as has Mathew. Now we have a bunch of people claiming we are actually in a cooling cyle. So, if that is the case, what are their predictions?
 
How do we suppose to keep track of our climate if no one trust any of the data?
How do you trust data that keeps being adjusted upward when the satellite measurements say they are being adjusted in the wrong direction? OR that you use a model and 'in filling' which inflates temps rather than real measurements?

Trust is earned. NOAA and NASA have a long way to go t0 earn my trust. CRN shows almost a full 0.6 deg C cooling in the last 14 years as does the satellite data, yet you all want only your adjusted data to be touted as true.

I'm, quite frankly, tired of the bull shit been spread.
Yeah, a proud example of an American denialist.

Another factless baseless feck...
Factless? I listen to actual evidence, and don't act as if some massive conspiracy is happening.
 
Wasteful spending on unreliable green energy?

Did I stutter? Stupid fuck.
It's not wasteful spending when it is working, and securing a healthier future/better alternatives to non-renewable, destructive energy.

It is wasteful spending. It's not securing a healthier future.
What utter bullshit, it's certainly a better future then that of non-renewable energy and destructive practices. The denialist's know no bounds..

Keep building windmills that will never pay for themselves.
For the glorious socialist future!
As if energy needs to be for the profit of the capitalist.. :cuckoo:

Commies would understand how to make energy unprofitable. :badgrin:
 
Happy Earth Day 2015: The Earth is doing just fine, thank you
Wednesday, April 22 is Earth Day. To hear the experts like Usher and Al Gore tell the story, the planet is in a miserable state. We're running out of our natural resources, we're overpopulating the globe and running out of room, the air that we breathe is becoming toxic, the oceans are rising and soon major coastal cities will be underwater, and the Earth is, of course, heating up, except when it is cooling down.

This is perhaps the single greatest misinformation campaign in world history. Virtually none of these claims are even close to the truth -- except for the fact that our climate is always changing as it has for hundreds of thousands of years.


Earth Day should be a day of joy and celebration that life on this bountiful planet is better than anytime in human history.
Since the first Earth Day back in the 1970s, the environmentalists -- those who worship the creation rather than the Creator have issued one false prediction of Armageddon after another and yet despite the fact that their batting average is zero, the media and our schools keep parroting their declinism as if they were oracles not shysters.

Here are the factual realities we should be celebrating on Earth Day.

1. Natural resources are more abundant and affordable today than ever before in history. ‎Short term (sometimes decades-long) the price of most natural resources -- from cocoa to cotton to coal -- is cheaper today in real terms than 50, 100, or 500 years ago. This has happened even as the world's population has nearly tripled. Technology has far outpaced depletion of the earth's resources.

2. Energy -- the master resource -- is super-abundant. Remember when people like Stanford biologist Paul R. Ehrlich warned nearly 50 years ago (and Barack Obama just three years ago) that we were running out of oil and gas? Today, thanks to fracking ushering in a new age of oil and gas, the United States has hundreds of years of petroleum at its disposal and at least an estimated 290 years of coal. Keep in mind, this may be a low-ball estimate; since 2000, the Energy Information Administration's estimates of recoverable reserves have actually increased by more than 7 percent.

We're not running out of energy, we are running into it.

3. Our air and water are cleaner. Since the late 1970s, pollutants in the air have plunged. Lead pollution plunged by more than 90 percent, carbon monoxide and sulfur dioxide by more than 50 percent, with ozone and nitrogen dioxide declining as well. This means that emissions per capita have declined even as the economy in terms of real GDP nearly tripled. By nearly every standard measure, it is much, much, much cleaner today in the United States than 50 or even 100 years ago. The air is so clean now that the EPA worries about carbon dioxide -- which isn't even a pollutant. ‎(And, by the way, carbon emissions are falling too, thanks to fracking.). One hundred years ago, about one in four deaths in the U.S. was due to contaminants in drinking water. But from 1971-2002, fewer than 3 people per year in the U.S. were documented to have died from water contamination.

4. There is no Malthusian nightmare of overpopulation. Birth rates have fallen by about one-half around the world over the last 50 years. ‎ Developed countries are having too few kids, not too many. Even with a population of 7.3 billion people, average incomes, especially in poor countries, have surged over the last forty years. The number of people in abject poverty fell by almost one billion from 1981 to 2011, even as global population increased by more than 1.5 billion.

5. Global per capita food production is 40 percent higher today than as recently as 1950. In most nations the nutrition problem today is obesity -- too many calories consumed -- not hunger. The number of famines and related deaths over the last 100 years has fallen in half. More than 12 million lives on average were lost each decade from the 1920s-1960s to famine. Since then, fewer than 4 million lives on average per decade were lost. Tragically, these famines are often caused by political corruption -- not nature. Furthermore, the price of food has fallen steadily in the U.S. And most nations steadily for 200 years.

6. The rate of death and physical destruction from natural disasters or severe weather changes has plummeted over the last 50 to 100 years. Loss of life from hurricanes, floods, hurricanes, heat, droughts, and so on is at or near record lows. This is because we have much better advance warning systems, our infrastructure is much more durable, and we have inventions like air conditioning, to adapt to weather changes. ‎We are constantly discovering new ways to harness and even tame nature.

Earth Day should be a day of joy and celebration that life on this bountiful planet is better than anytime in human history.

The state of the planet has never been in such fine shape by almost every objective measure. The Chicken Littles are as wrong today as they were 50 years ago. This is very good news for those who believe that one of our primary missions as human beings is to make life better over time and to leave our planet better off for future generations.

Happy Earth Day.

Well, here we are, nearly 1/3 into the year. So, what are your predictions for the year? A warm year? The warmest year on record? A cool year? The coolest year?

How about weather? We have already had a record warm and dry winter in the West, and quite a cold year in the East. Storms? Not so many, thus far. So, what are your predictions for the US on extreme weather this year? None? Average? A lot? And of what kind? Floods? Drought? Hurricanes? Tornados?

Here are mine. 2015 will be the warmest year on record, exceeding 2014 by a good bit. Arctic Ice will be less in September than last year, and more than 2012. The Drought in the Western States will continue to be severe. And the East will see some flooding. Hurricanes? Not as many, an El Nino year, same for tornados. Probably some sections of the nation will see extreme heat this summer, depending where the blocking high parks itself.

Now your turn, you people that are predicting cooling.
What you said..but add in a few volcanoes that spew for the first time in forever, more diseases that are new and kill humans and animals, civil unrest, possibly another war, food shortage in the USA and very hard times this year that is still to come, following by a worse year.
 
It is wasteful spending. It's not securing a healthier future.

Thankfully for the rest of us s0n, you're not only in the distinct minority...........you're in the fringe minority = politically irrelevant.:2up::eusa_dance::eusa_dance:

But we skeptics love new k00ks in this forum.......the more the merrier!!!:spinner:

I don't watch capitalist controlled media, sorry. Reality manufacturing company? Focus on the international world, not just fucking America, this country is the worst with its rampant denialism. It doesn't matter what americans think, facts are facts, much like when most Americans denied evolution.
 
Oh.....and this is a fair question given recent news..............

Are we talking about real data or rigged data??:bye1::dunno::dunno:
Real data supported by international organizations and actual climate scientists.



But that's been happening for 25 years and its still not mattering in the real world. Green energy is still laughable and will be at least until the middle of the century!!!! Climate science is an internet hobby in 2015.

Would you like to see the Obama EIA projection graph, dumbass? I'll gladly post it up if youd like........have a passion for making far left nutters look stoopid.:spinner:
