Prominent climate change denier now admits he was wrong

Quote from nitro:

You should go back and study the "does smoking cause cancer" debate back in the fifties and sixties. You will find nearly identical crazies saying there was no conclusive evidence causally tying smoking and cancer.

And 85% of these 'crazies' were university professors who were funded by the tobacco industry to produce findings that there was no conclusive evidence casually tying smoking and cancer.

It was outsiders with no ties to the tobacco industry who demonstrated that there was clear evidence tying smoking and cancer... and pushed the point in front of Congress. The tobacco industry tried to discredit these people saying they were merely engineers and doctors ... not scientists.

So what do they find under the glaciers when they melt in South America and Europe. All of the villages where people lived 6000 to 14000 years ago.

Maybe I should just post pictures of my yard in winter and summer --- it has about as much credence as pictures of a glacier taken 76 years apart from a 'climate change' perspective.

All things go in natural cycles - like they have for thousands of years including global temperature and the melting of glaciers.

You said global warming is "nonsense".

Don't you claim to be in the oil service industry, hypocrite?

And what the fuck does that have to do with the price of tea in China? How could it be that you're smart enough to fly a plane?

Tea? I thought the topic was AGW.
Rectum profits from a major contributor of green house gas emissions, kinda like you only on a larger scale.

More...

Hmm...because I'm a whole lot smarter than your average heat and air installer?

And he has been cleared of all wrongdoing and data manipulation by multiple investigations. And regardless, the science does not depend on him at all.
But I'm sure the Koch bros are happy to see how deluded you and your fellow deniers have gotten. They probably have donated to that website.

BTW... this is news to the ignorant deniers but, the hockey stick chart is correct.

Maybe the videos provide documentary evidence of the fraud being committing by climate change promoters. Nothing quite holds up as well as video when it comes to evidence.

No, they don't.

Besides, charts are much more telling. Videos are for the lazy and those that need their opinions spoon-fed to them.

Please tell me what you think this chart means and where it might be wrong. You DO know how to read a chart don't you? I'm starting to think the deniers simply don't have the brainpower to understand them.

Keep in mind this data is verifiable by multiple sources. IOW it's accurate. It's not designed by commies from the UN.
