Last one out of the GW building please turn off the lights
Climate change is on ice
- Thread starter Banjo
- Start date
So educated people don't read mainstream media? I take it you ignore ABC, NBC, ABC, FOX, and CNN which covered the increase in sea ice in Antarctica.
So what is it that is under question?
That the earth is warming way beyond what can be attributed to the sun alone?
That CO2 is the most important long term greenhouse gas and largely controls the temperature of the planet?
That man has increased CO2 by 40%?
That a ten year old can understand this cause-effect relationship?
That the denial of science and AGW science in particular is the best single proof of how dumb Republicans are?
Because the answer is yes for all of the above.

Just out of interest - because people have debated it before - here are the details leaked from the Heartland Institute about the funding for Anthony Watts (who runs the WattsUpwithThat.com website).
Just in the interest of full disclosure and to close out earlier questions.

Then if co2 is at it's highlest levels why hasn't the earth warmed over the last 15 years.
A 10 year old can understand it, why can't you?

Holy smokes! I can't believe you posted that!
"The documents, leaked to websites DeSmogBlog and Climate Progress, show that the Heartland Institute, a conservative think tank whose efforts include the denial of man-made climate change, has received millions of dollars over the years from well-heeled donors and corporations, including the Koch Brothers, Microsoft and General Motors. And it has received more than $8 million from a single anonymous source over the past four years.
"The documents, leaked by Oakland-based climate researcher and water expert Peter Gleick, also reveal who is on the receiving end of Heartland Institute fundingâand thatâs where Chico enters the picture. Local radio weather forecaster Anthony Watts, "

"âWe have resorted in the past to legal means only in a very few cases involving outright fraud and defamation. The current situation clearly fits that description, and our legal counsel has advised that the first step in defending ourselves should be to ask the blogs to take down the stolen and forged documents.â
Ironically, Heartland was one of the groups that attacked scientists on the basis of stolen emails that were purloined from the University of East Angliaâs climate-research unit in 2009. The resulting âClimate-gateâ scandal ended only when investigators determined the scientists had done nothing wrong.
As to the âschool reformâ policy Bast mentions, the documents show an effort to introduce an anti-climate-change curriculum to the nationâs public schools. The documents have not, as of press time, been removed from the Internet."
What the?????GWB ! You're surprising me here.
