Not 97% but .3% of Climatologists agree.

there are only two trolls on et who continue to assert that scientists use words in correctly.

those two trolls have both been seen in this thread and they are both leftists.

here is a the quote again showing that co2 is a natural thermostat.

only a troll would try and say this scientist is wrong without proving anything.

Quote from jem:

Carbon dioxide and nitric oxide are natural thermostats,” explains James Russell of Hampton University, SABER’s principal investigator. “When the upper atmosphere (or ‘thermosphere’) heats up, these molecules try as hard as they can to shed that heat back into space.”
That’s what happened on March 8th when a coronal mass ejection (CME) propelled in our direction by an X5-class solar flare hit Earth’s magnetic field. (On the “Richter Scale of Solar Flares,” X-class flares are the most powerful kind.) Energetic particles rained down on the upper atmosphere, depositing their energy where they hit. The action produced spectacular auroras around the poles and significant1 upper atmospheric heating all around the globe.

Don't Miss it! Climate Depot Factsheet on 1970s Coming Ice Age Claims

'Fears of a coming ice age, showed up in peer-reviewed literature, at scientific conferences, by prominent scientists and throughout the media'
http://www.climatedepot.com/2009/10...s-factsheet-on-1970s-coming-ice-age-claims-2/

Despite many claims to the contrary, the 1970's global cooling fears were widespread among many scientists and in the media. Despite the fact that there was no UN IPCC organization created to promote global cooling in the 1970s and despite the fact that there was nowhere near the tens of billions of dollars in funding spent today to promote man-made global warming, fears of a coming ice age, showed up in peer-reviewed literature, at scientific conferences, voiced by prominent scientists and throughout the media.

FC - I suggest that you read it for a change to find out the truth.

Climate depot can and should be ignored as a source of the truth about AGW. Only fools can't recognize that it is bought and paid for by the fossil fuel industry and related interests and only idiots would constantly refer to it while believing it is anything but.

Multiple studies show the research literature was dominated by global warming.

But again, it does not matter. It's at best a very feeble argument. Things are far different now.

This is what NASA says...

Ninety-seven percent of climate scientists agree that climate-warming trends over the past century are very likely due to human activities, and most of the leading scientific organizations worldwide have issued public statements endorsing this position.

And only complete idiots cannot understand the concept of a thermostat.

Those same idiots might think that one thing mistakenly stated by one scientist about a layer of atmosphere that has nothing to do with AGW has any relevance or importance.

The real idiots might argue that because someone is a leftist that they are automatically wrong about everything. This is a common idiocy prevalent on this board.

AL GORE: 'Extreme' weather, 'increasing storms' and 'other extreme events'...

REPORT: '2013 ranks as one of the least extreme US weather years ever'...

Those that identify as Tea Party smarter than liberals in science.

I've got to confess, though, I found this result surprising. As I pushed the button to run the analysis on my computer, I fully expected I'd be shown a modest negative correlation between identifying with the Tea Party and science comprehension.

But then again, I don't know a single person who identifies with the Tea Party. All my impressions come from watching cable tv -- & I don't watch Fox News very often -- and reading the "paper" (New York Times daily, plus a variety of politics-focused internet sites like Huffington Post & Politico).

I'm a little embarrassed, but mainly I'm just glad that I no longer hold this particular mistaken view.

hey ignorant troll, do greenhouse gases such as water vapor (clouds) aerosols and co2 keep the earth from warming at times... yes or no.

do greenhouse gases make the earth warmer or cooler.
and please support your ignorant answer with science.
(I will give you a hint... science does not know and I can prove it.)

It's amazing how a few lunatic liberal trolls can elicit 250+ replies on a completely ignorant topic such as climate change. We've got REAL problems in America, and climate change sure as hell isn't even in the top 1,000 problems. At this point in communist America, arguing over climate change is akin to raising hell with the fire department for knocking over the mailbox while they're there to put out the house fire...

I am glad that guy was open minded enough to learn something he should have already known.

"Tea Party supporters are wealthier and more well-educated than the general public, and are no more or less afraid of falling into a lower socioeconomic class, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News poll."

It's a shocker he gets all his (mis)information from the ny times, huffington post and politico.

Hey ignorant troll, do you realize that the thermosphere has nothing to do with AGW? That CO2 is greenhouse gas? Do you understand the difference between a blanket and a thermostat regulated heating system. Based on your absurd argument, you do not.

Science absolutely DOES have proof that CO2 causes warming of the earth. Your contention that it does not is laughable and absurd. It is akin to saying we have no proof that smoking causes health problems.


Here's what Exxon says... Exxon......You know, the huge fossil fuel company. Perhaps you have heard of it.......


"Rising greenhouse-gas emissions pose significant risks to society and ecosystems. Since most of these emissions are energy-related, any integrated approach to meeting the world’s growing energy needs over the coming decades must incorporate strategies to address the risk of climate change.

Stabilization poses a significant challenge, especially for CO2, the most significant of the GHGs emitted by human activities. Atmospheric CO2 interacts with the biosphere and oceans such that CO2 remains in the atmosphere for many decades and accumulates today at about one-half the rate of emissions."

"Man-made climate change contributed to some of 2012's most extreme weather, including the spring and summer heat waves that baked parts of the United States and Hurricane Sandy, which devastated coastal communities along the eastern coast of the country, according to a new report.

The study, which includes research from 18 different teams from around the world, examined 12 extreme weather events from last year and found that human-caused global warming increased the likelihood of half of the incidents, while the others were dictated by naturalweather variability.

"We've got some new evidence here that human influence has changed the risk, and has changed it enough that we can detect it," Peter Stott, a climatologist at the United Kingdom Met Office, the U.K.'s national weather service, told reporters in a news briefing on Thursday (Sept. 5). "There's a great deal of variability, [but] nevertheless, we've seen evidence for that increase in risk.""
