The Earth has still been warming since 1998

Yes. Jefe, Mrs. Santa Claus, Referee, goosebeat, and hoofbump

Read the post. Hard data disagrees with your anecdote.

1/2/14 10:53pm

Sorry mate, I read the emails of the real scientists...

OldCosmo

1/2/14 11:04pm

If you are refering to Climategate, I have addressed that nonissue before. I'll

Please... don't.

You didn't provide any hard data

In order to more clearly see the human influence on warming trends, we must

That certainly would be nice,

The 'hard data' doesn't support the claims.

Climate scientists disagree. I have provided ample data. Unless you are going

1/2/14 10:58pm

Only the climate scientists you choose to quote. The other ones don't.

JamesDean

I think those 97% are on to something with this one.

1/2/14 11:06pm

LOL you should reread that pitiful paragraph before quoting 97% again

JamesDean

1/2/14 11:09pm

You should try responding in a constructive way like dsp81

I did. You denied it. Your viewpoint is clearly skewed, but you deny it when

Lol! Can you even hear straight?

Illegal Jimmergrant

Deleting your post because it looks stupid, doesn't make my hearing poor

JamesDean

I'm not sure that's what it says. Maybe you should check it again.

Illegal Jimmergrant

1/2/14 11:27pm

Retyping a post doesn't change it either.

JamesDean

1/2/14 11:29pm

Changing the subject when you're the one blatantly fabricating circumstantial

Illegal Jimmergrant

1/2/14 11:34pm

Ya, makes a lot of sense now.

JamesDean

1/2/14 11:35pm

Nice flippant response. Don't even address my points. Typical lib.

Illegal Jimmergrant

1/2/14 11:36pm

What if I was being serious?

JamesDean

1/2/14 11:37pm

I've reviewed your posting history. This is typical flippant James.

Possible.

That we can agree on. Finally.

You clearly don't know the difference between:

A lot of clear in this convo.

Let's be precise: 97% of 33%

Papers expressing no position on AGW do not mean that they do not believe the

1/2/14 11:15pm

Again, just poo poo the fact you got caught quoting falsely inflated numbers.

JamesDean

1/2/14 11:15pm

That's fantastic, but it doesn't prove what you are saying it proves

dsp81

1/2/14 11:20pm

The 97% was falsely attributed to scientists. I should have said peer reviewed

1/2/14 11:28pm

Oh ya, and the data we quoted...that was out of context too.

JamesDean

1/2/14 11:34pm

The numbers are nearly identical

dsp81

1/2/14 11:37pm

RE: The numbers are nearly identical

1/3/14 12:10am

Again, I think you are overstating the evidence

dsp81

1/3/14 1:17am

My original claim was overstated, hence why I revised it.

1/3/14 8:52am

I think you missed my point

dsp81

1/3/14 10:29am

And this is why I stopped giving in depth answers.

Why? Do you not believe in global warming at all?

1/2/14 11:00pm

I don't believe the warming is on the drastic scale to warrant panic, and

1/2/14 11:33pm

My evidence shows that we have had a damaging effect.

1/2/14 11:30pm

And then there's this...

JamesDean

1/2/14 10:52pm

That is a separate issue which I would love to address in my next topic.

1/2/14 10:56pm

Cute to dismiss the overarching issue. There are those who will try to correlate

JamesDean

1/2/14 10:59pm

Cute to dismiss my claims with no evidence to support yours.

1/3/14 12:17am

did you mean to link to the same article twice?

1/3/14 12:27am

also, the article you linked claims warming oceans.

1/3/14 12:32am

Yes it does...

OldCosmo

1/3/14 12:47am

ah, there we go, fixed the link. Sorry I was reading a few things...

You seem to be making a similar argument to Freddie Cougar, so I will refer you

No, I'm not. I'm saying that yes there is deep ocean heating going on.

Agreed. Unfortunately, the message is politicized and packaged.
