The climategate emails have not changed the actual data around AGW or its interpretation:

Regarding the medieval warm period you ask about, here is a possible explanation: http://www.skepticalscience.com/medieval-warm-period.htm

Regarding CO2 following temperature you mention, apparently it’s not that one follows the other that is important: http://www.skepticalscience.com/co2-lags-temperature.htm

Regarding Human CO2 being relatively small part of the atmosphere, that apparently is not the issue: http://www.skepticalscience.com/human-co2-smaller-than-natural-emissions.htm

(Skepticalscience.com attempts to clear up common misconceptions, and they have pretty good links to sources.)

The scientific consensus is incredibly strong that humans are significantly effecting climate change. The following article sites that there are no scientific bodies of national or international standing that disagree with AGW. At best you have the American Association of Petroleum Geologists being non-commital: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_opinion_on_climate_change

Not trying to get in an argument with you, just thought these links might help in your search for the truth.

If I were one to be opposed to reduced emissions and global treaties, I wouldn’t start by trying to argue that AGW is not real. I’d instead take the approach that fixing it will be too costly and that we might be willing to live with the impacts and spend our efforts elsewhere. I personally do not make that argument, but I bet one could.

Best luck,

The tenuous correlation between warming and increased CO2 levels is the ONLY area where there might be a possible causation, and yet that has been debunked. CO2 levels rise as a result of warming, not as a cause of it. CO2 constitutes only 1/2 of 1 percent of the earth’s atmosphere, and man-made CO2 constitutes only 1/2 of 1% of that – far too small a percentage to have any measureable impact even if you buy the GHG -Global Warming theory – which I don’t.

AGW is much like a Rorschach ink blot – we can all look at the same evidence and see drastically different things. Aren’t you at least curious as to why the original temperature data has never been released for peer review? Or why the MWP temperature data was excluded from the historical temperature graphs? Or why the global cooling of the past 7-8 years – in contradiction to the AGW theory – is occuring?

Science is about curiosity and trying to prove that the consensus is wrong. Attacking ANYONE for expressing scepticism is not in the true scientific tradition. Scepticism is the foundation of science.

Do your job and expose the TRUTH, even if it makes you uncomfortable.

“Piled Higher & Deeper”

But how can you single out these lies as a criminal offense when virtually everything else that our government is telling us is also a lie ?

Obama should be impeached for the perjury he committed when he said 2 words at the end of his inauguration ceremony.

When asked by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court if he swore to protect and defend The Constitution of the United States, he said I DO</i?

“That’s me out of here, there’s no point talking when all it does is polarize already held positions.”

Or, in other words, “The debate is over!” Sadly reaper, the debate is never over, as long as real scientific proof is available. All these models have been proven wrong. The earths atmosphere is directly connected to dozens of circumstances that we have no idea on how to measure when taken in all together. And there are probably a dozen more that we don’t know about.

Your ranting that people who believe in god somehow makes these scientist less accountable to the truth. When it’s just the opposite. Science and religion are absolutely connected by their very substance. Honestly, why reach for the stars unless it’s to touch the hand of God? I don’t mean physically of course but it’s mans destiny to grow. And one day , maybe, we will achieve recognition and God may say ‘welcome’, when we get there. That’s along way from now. But with this global warming scam we have taken more steps back and still there are those that want us back in the caves to save the earth.

Perhaps it’s your disbelief in god that makes you worship science so much? Perhaps you believe that man has no one to answer to and that we will reach nirvana on our own? Look where that has led. Socialism, communism, the Third Reich… Not very impressive is it?

“Warmer temperatures wouldn’t be bad..if a) so many millions didn’t live at and below sea level b) we weren’t so overpopulated and c) acidification of the oceans doesn’t also happen.”

All that is theory reaper. Models based on a few facts but never cover the whole picture. Would you make life and death decisions based on half truths and not enough information? Your trusting the scientist who have been proven liars and politicians who care only for power.

These are your gods reaper. And their alter will be stained with the blood of the millions who will be sacrificed for their ‘visions’.

If you really want to save the earth reaper, then focus on ‘creating’ better plants and machines that will help the planet instead of knocking everything down so you can stand on top of civilizations grave and cry ‘glory to me in the highest’.

It’s pure BULL$HIT, just like everything else you’ve said thus far…

The Goracle and the IPCC have been using scare tactics about rising sea levels for years. Here’s the truth about the subject from Lord Monckton’s report on the conclusions of the British High Court in their decision against allowing the unrestricted free viewing of Gore‘s science fiction horror film to British school kids.

Gore says that a sea-level rise of up to 6 m (20 ft) will be caused by melting of either West Antarctica or Greenland.1 Though Gore does not say that the sea-level rise will occur in the near future, the judge found that, in the context, it was clear that this is what he had meant, since he showed expensive graphical representations of the effect of his imagined 6 m (20 ft) sea-level rise on existing populations, and he quantified the numbers who would be displaced by the sea-level rise.

Ms. Kreider says the IPCC estimates a sea-level rise of “59 cm” by 2100. She fails to point out that this amounts to less than 2 ft, not the 20 ft imagined by Gore. She also fails to point out that this is the IPCC’s upper estimate, on its most extreme scenario. And she fails to state that the IPCC, faced with a stream of peer-reviewed articles stating that sea level rise is not a threat, has reduced this upper estimate from 3 ft in 2001 to less than 2 ft (i.e. half the mean centennial sea-level rise that has occurred since the end of the last Ice Age 10,000 years ago) in 2007.

The IPCC’s predictions above of course, are all predicated on the assumption that the warming is going to continue for a long time, and we all know that that’s not true since the warming ended 11 years ago, and since we’ve been steadily cooling for the last 8 years.

The fact is that all of the IPCC’s predictions have turned out to be wrong by massive proportions, because they’re all based on falsified or exaggerated data interpreted by junk science. Here’s the most recent proof of that:

So please do as I suggested, and go sell crazy somewhere else, we’ve heard and seen more of it that we can stomach at this point…

Warmer temperatures wouldn’t be bad..if a) so many millions didn’t live at and below sea level b) we weren’t so overpopulated and c) acidification of the oceans doesn’t also happen.

“far too intelligent to believe one word that comes out of your foul mouth.” Firstly up till now I haven’t been foul mouthed, it doesn’t serve a purpose and slinging mud just undermines any sensible argument. Secondly I’m not seeing much sign of ‘intelligence’ on these forums.

Leaving the asylum now, last one out turn out the lights please.
