Quote from dcraig:
You are, to put it bluntly, an idiot. The first chart is not even a chart of temperature. Read the Y axis label. It says Z-Score. A Z-score of what?
The second chart conveniently ignores anything before 1960. So what if some earlier prediction was inaccurate. Science advances and a lot more is known today.
The fact remains that global warming is occurring, the long term trend is established the great majority of credible climate scientists will tell you just that - the world is warming at an alarming rate. This is not a prediction is a FACT.
You are a mindless true believer - - unlike others, you do have the capacity to think a little. But, you will have to actually go through the reports and links provided earlier to see how they all they all fit together and fully refute all the b.s. Its a useless waste of time to provide any further evidence including the detailed explanation of the charts . . . because you folks don't read any of it or watch and logically refute any of the lectures anyway. (First tactic is to try to attack those scientists presenting it & to ignore the actual data.)
For those who want to actually decide on these issues for yourself - - please visit the links & watch the lectures. Its gonna take some time & effort. The explanation of what is in the charts (and much more) is all there. Some of it is highly technical and specialized. None of it is something that can be captured in a few cute sentences. As you'll see there many times, youre asked to please not blindly accept any of it but decide for yourself. The other side says . . . stop thinking, its all settled. Which of these approaches makes sense to you - which seems fair ? These are the same tactics that get multi billion/trillion dollar bail out and health care bills rammed through - - that havent been read by the 'lawmakers', and which they dont allow the people to read or have any say. You see that happening in those realms, - - is it just Possible that the same thing could be happening in this area ? - - The whole motivation of my posting on this is to at least get people to take a more critical look at what they have been spoon fed. The mindless 'true believers' are beyond hope - - too invested in a predetermined outcome, but youre not. - - Thank you
