Senate Dems pull all-nighter on climate change

Is the US government serious about Climate change action?

  • Yes.

    Votes: 1 9.1%

  • No. It is all for show

    Votes: 3 27.3%

  • I don't know

    Votes: 1 9.1%

  • I don't care

    Votes: 6 54.5%
  • Total voters
    11
or as one of the local papers stated....


“because these senators are calling for action in a chamber they control but without any specific legislation to offer up for a vote, or any timetable for action this year.”

Were the democrat senators protesting the fact the Senate leadership would not bring agw nutter bills to the floor for a vote? Did they feel powerless to get legislation pass the majority in the Senate.

Why didn't they just take the issue up with the Majority leader and the President maybe the president could use the bully pulpit to force the Majority leader to bring their bills up for a vote.

Wait a minute... something is odd here. There are in the majority... and there is no science supporting their idea that man made co2 is causing warming. So what was this really about.

Once again you are confusing your intentional ignorance with what science actually knows. Nutjob.
 
It's a shame, but the reason this is just a show is because the GOP are a bunch of science denying morons similar to what is seen with the deniers here. So nothing can happen.

Once again, the problem with the US is the Republicans.

Than explain why cap and trade never passed when the dems had a super majority just a few years back.
 
The skeptics of this gigantic hoax use the scientific method to thoroughly debunk the notion of agw.

The proponents use adjusted data that they attempt to hide from public view, threats of reprisal towards colleagues if they dissent, and base their summaries on votes of like minded, weak willed minions who are threatened with the loss of grants and jobs if they don't vote in the appropriate manner.
And did i mention that they conspire to keep any dissenting science from not only being published in science journals, but also from being heard on broadcast media?

It's time to call a spade a spade. The entire swindle is put forth by people who are completely lacking in integrity. Not an ounce.
 
every few months another study comes out showing the sun and the tides have caused warming in the past.

last year most nutter scientists first admitted climate sensitivity (sensitivity to co2) is lower than they thought.

The models predicted warming because co2 rose dramatically, but temperature has not warmed in 17 years...

recent studies say clouds and water vapor likely have more impact on temps than co2.

and the data shows co2 trails the change in ocean temp very closely with a 1 year delay. (see below)

And... there is no science showing man co2 causes warming.

I have presented all this info to you many times.
All you have ever presented was failed computer models and distorted perspective charts.

Changes in global atmospheric CO2 are lagging 11–12 months behind changes in global sea surface temperature and 9.5–10 months behind changes in global air surface temperature. Changes in atmospheric CO2 are not tracking changes in human emissions.

Abstract

Using data series on atmospheric carbon dioxide and global temperatures we investigate the phase relation (leads/lags) between these for the period January 1980 to December 2011. Ice cores show atmospheric CO2variations to lag behind atmospheric temperature changes on a century to millennium scale, but modern temperature is expected to lag changes in atmospheric CO2, as the atmospheric temperature increase since about 1975 generally is assumed to be caused by the modern increase in CO2. In our analysis we use eight well-known datasets: 1) globally averaged well-mixed marine boundary layer CO2 data, 2) HadCRUT3 surface air temperature data, 3) GISS surface air temperature data, 4) NCDC surface air temperature data, 5) HadSST2 sea surface data, 6) UAH lower troposphere temperature data series, 7) CDIAC data on release of anthropogene CO2, and 8) GWP data on volcanic eruptions. Annual cycles are present in all datasets except 7) and 8), and to remove the influence of these we analyze 12-month averaged data. We find a high degree of co-variation between all data series except 7) and 8), but with changes in CO2 always lagging changes in temperature. The maximum positive correlation between CO2 and temperature is found for CO2 lagging 11–12 months in relation to global sea surface temperature, 9.5–10 months to global surface air temperature, and about 9 months to global lower troposphere temperature. The correlation between changes in ocean temperatures and atmospheric CO2 is high, but do not explain all observed changes.

Highlights

► Changes in global atmospheric CO2 are lagging 11–12 months behind changes in global sea surface temperature. ► Changes in global atmospheric CO2 are lagging 9.5–10 months behind changes in global air surface temperature. ► Changes in global atmospheric CO2 are lagging about 9 months behind changes in global lower troposphere temperature. ► Changes in ocean temperatures explain a substantial part of the observed changes in atmospheric CO2 since January 1980. ► Changes in atmospheric CO2 are not tracking changes in human emissions.
