Of course you need to post your bona fides because you're a skeptic. You are the flat earth society of the 21st century. You're the guy that wanted to put Copernicus in jail because he dared suggest the earth went around the sun not the other way around. It is incumbent on you to prove them wrong. They have more than proved their POV. And I call the ice caps mounting and the glaciers retreating as more than enough observed, measured, quantified and empirical evidence. And is just the tip of the iceberg. I can't help it that you don't believe.
Same old non argument...same old non answer...same old not the first shred of observed, measured, quantified, empirical evidence supporting the claim that mankind is altering the global temerpature with his CO2 emissions...
And of course I don't need bona fides to state that there is no such evidence in support of the claims of global temperatures rising due to CO2 emissions...I am stating that none exist....and they don't...one needs no special qualifications to make that statement and one needs no special qualifications to deliver them if in fact they existed.
And I certainly am not anti science....i am anti pseudoscience....which is what climate science is today. Copernicus actually had observed, measured, quantified, empirical evidence to support his claims so he would have been in no danger from me....only from the religious consensus...which describes you....as you would with me if you and yours had your way...you represent the wrong consensus that Copernicus (the skeptic) was fighting against.
They have more than proved their POV. And I call the ice caps mounting and the glaciers retreating as more than enough observed, measured, quantified and empirical evidence. And is just the tip of the iceberg. I can't help it that you don't believe.
If their point of view was that the climate is changing, then of course they would have enough observed, measured, quantified, empirical evidence to support their claims...and they would have no argument from me...clearly the climate is changing...but then, the climate has always, and is always changing... That, however is not what the discussion is about...sure the climate is changing...but your side says that mankind is altering the climate with his CO2 emissions....There is the rub...and there is where your side of the argument breaks down....there is not the first shred of observed, measured, quantified, empirical evidence in support of the argument that MAN IS ALTERING THE GLOBAL CLIMATE WITH HIS CO2 EMISSIONS. Hell, if you want evidence that the climate is changing, I can provide all that you want. Here, for example, is evidence of that from the Greenland ice cores covering the past 10,000 years:
![GISP2%20Ice%20Core.jpg](/proxy.php?image=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.iceagenow.com%2FGISP2%2520Ice%2520Core.jpg&hash=50697bb5be4b166f601fa1fee4b8c1e3)
No doubt the climate is changing and has always changed...take a look at the graph above.....and relate it to the climate in the northern hemisphere....(ice cores from the antarctic show the same warming spikes by the way)....Look at the Minoan warm period about 3000 years ago...look a the temperature then compared to now...think perhaps glaciers were retreating and arctic ice was melting then?... How about during the Roman warm period?...how about during the Medieval warm period?...think the ice retreated even further during those periods?
Sure, the global climate is changing...it has always and will always change...is man causing it?..of course not...and again, there isn't the first bit of observed, measured, quantified, empirical evidence supporting the claim that he is....if you think there is, then by all means lets see it...but evidence that the climate is changing is not evidence that man is causing the change...if you believe that, then it isn't surprising that you have fallen for the scam.
But let's put your skepticism aside for a second. Let's say the climate scientists (you know they guys who have spent literally years and thousands of hours studying this shit unlike you) are wrong (they're not).
Don't you find it odd that a bunch of guys who spent years and thousands of hours studying an observable, measurable, quantifiable entity such as the atmosphere and the climate don't have the first bit of observed, measured, quantified, empirical evidence to support their claims that man is altering the global climate with his CO2 emissions?
Don't you think it a good idea to stop pumping all this shit into the atmosphere?
I probably have more draconian ideas regarding pollution than you.....I favor fines of a magnitude that would bankrupt polluters..I favor long prison sentences for polluters. I am a conservationist as opposed to being an environmentalist....if you don't know the difference, then that is a topic for another discussion....suffice it to say that I prefer a clean environment and have no problem with regulations regarding actual pollution...CO2, however is not a pollutant, and there is not the first shred of evidence supporting the claim that more CO2 in the atmosphere causes climate change...again, if you believe it exits, by all means, lets see it.
Don't you think it a good idea to stop fossil fuels fucking up the atmosphere?
I have no problem at all with regulating emissions that are actually pollution...AGAIN, CO2 is not a pollutant.
You think it ok? If so, go live in Beijing for a year. Watch episode 4 of The Crown. Although based on the reign of Queen Elizabeth that episode is dedicated to a week in 1952 where more than an estimated 12,000 people died in London due to what they called the Great Smog. It was when fog and pollution mixed together and created a perfect situation where people with breathing problems died. It lead to the British Parliament passing the Clean Air Act.
I agree there, but when you talk about that sort of thing, you are not talking about CO2..which is an entirely different topic...You don't seem to realize that there are any number of actual environmental problems that we can and should be addressing, and that most, if not all of them have solutions that are readily available...they aren't being addressed though because climate science has co opted every one of them and dragged them under the umbrella of anthropogenic global warming...there is no anthropogenic global warming...and because this has happened, actual environmental problems are not, and will not be addressed so long as the anthropogenic global warming scam is sucking all of the air out of the room and all of the treasure out of the coffers.
Don't do it because you're a anti GW skeptic. Do it because it makes sense.
Tell me Dr. Grump...what is the ideal temperature for life on planet earth? What has the average mean temperature been throughout most of earth's history?...What has the average atmospheric CO2 concentration been throughout most of earth's history? What was the average global temperature and atmospheric CO2 concentration at the time that the climate fell into the ice age that the earth is in the process of exiting at this time? Can you answer any of those questions?
