Global Temperatures increased by 0.04 degrees Centigrade this year.That's not global warming. That's a tiny, natural variation.


Are you talking about 2019?
This seems to have uptodate info: https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/sotc/global/201908

If it is an increase of 0.04 degrees C and is a result of natural variation the fact is that the increase comes on top of the warmest years ever recorded. The important part is that there is a long-term trend toward global warming. Temperatures don't have to up every year for this to be true.

Lost amid the coverage of Swedish teen activist Greta Thunberg at last week’s U.N. Global Climate Summit were the 500 international scientists, engineers and other stakeholders sounding a very different message: “There is no climate emergency.”https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2019/sep/29/scientists-tell-un-global-climate-summit-no-emerge/Needless to say these 500 have been criticised for opposing the narrative. This side of the Pond, they've been totally ignored. Very unscientific to not consider alternative views.


From the same link you gave:
The declaration was dismissed by Penn State climatologist Michael E. Mann, who called it “craven and stupid,” as well as the left-of-center [U.K.] Guardian, which said the document “repeats well-worn and long-debunked talking points on climate change that are contradicted by scientific institutions and academies around the world.”

If you want to say that 500 scientists are opposing climate change that's fair enough but many, many more are endorsing it.

A bit too long to quote but:

moisok keeps on about dressing up in high heels, etc. I must have missed his argument against global warming apart from polar bear numbers increasing. Which I've answered several times.

The point made by saddo (originally raised by blank) was about two people talking about snow. Two people aren't the entire scientific community. Maybe they got it wrong.

He then said:
Of course there are, to say anything else - to offer some balance even- would see their careers ended by virtue signalers and zealots like yourself. It's the same reason there are suddenly no comedians on TV who don't tow the official PC line.

Where is the evidence that their careers would be ended by virtue signalers and zealots? In Injera's post he mentions 500 scientists arguing against climate change. Have their careers ended?

If I was in PR I'd look at the protestors and think - upper middle class lefties and lib dems, missed out on their St Petersburg 1917 moment, and probably because they were too busy building careers in the public sector or NGO's once they got either their Arts degree or worse still, one in social studies. Sitting at home now, may have been able to retire only with a final salary pension, mortgage free, money in the bank, inherited own parents' house to boot. It needs to also include normal everyday people because these protestors are not normal and everyday people. Should have expanded that base before letting leash on the streets.


That's about protesters not climate change. There's another thread for that where you will be in good company.

Climate change is not happening because we do not see any signs that it is happening

If or when we do see such things , and if and when they are a problem

Then we will address the actual problem , whatever it is

Charlie - you quote Michael Mann, one of the leaders of the ACM debate.

Mann became famous for the chart, which showed temperatures running along in a horizontal fashion before spiking at the beginning of the 20th century. It was the “evidence” the global warming alarmists had been waiting for — “science” that showed human activity was overheating Earth. It was included in at least one United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report.

Not all were convinced, however. There were questions about the data he used to create the stick, which he wouldn’t release. It has been called “100% fraudulent,” an “artifact of poor mathematics,” and a violation of “of scientific standards.”

Mann has been accused of engaging in “data manipulation,” and “academic and scientific misconduct.”

https://www.thegwpf.com/media-ignores-michael-manns-court-loss-it-doesnt-fit-the-warmist-agenda/

Dr Tim Ball was taken to court by Mann and of course the case was thrown out.

'What happened was that Dr. Ball asserted a truth defense. He argued that the hockey stick was a deliberate fraud, something that could be proved if one had access to the data and calculations, in particular the R2 regression analysis, underlying it,” Hinderaker wrote. “Mann refused to produce these documents. He was ordered to produce them by the court and given a deadline. He still refused to produce them, so the court dismissed his case.”

Injera this is still ongoing and it's quite hard to find a balanced view of the court case (climate deniers like this sort of thing so searching is made difficult).

Michael E. Mann took climate change deniers to court. They apologized.
https://grist.org/article/michael-e-mann-took-climate-change-deniers-to-court-they-apologized/ (June 14th 2019).
In 2011, renowned scientist Michael E. Mann sued a Canadian think tank that published an interview suggesting his work on climate change was fraud.

Eight years later, the Winnipeg-based Frontier Center for Public Policy — which often promotes climate change denial — apologized Friday and wiped the inflammatory interview from its website.

“(The apology) gives me faith in our legal system that truth can still win out, even in an era of ‘fake news’ and ‘alternative facts,'” Mann said in an email to National Observer.


Michael Mann's statement about the court case with Dr Tim Ball:
https://twitter.com/MichaelEMann/status/1164910044414189568 (23rd August 2019)

It's an image so I can't quote it but it starts off: There have been some wildly untruthful claims about the recent dismissal of libel litigation against Tim Ball circulating on social media. Here is our statement ...

It appears that the quotes you gave above are incorrect. I can quote certain parts of it:
What does it say about Tim Ball's honesty (and that of the right-wingers trumpeting the latest court development) that they conveniently failed to note that Ball sought to dismiss the case based on his alleged health problems:

Furthermore, Ball's request for dismissal rested heavily on the assertion that his defamatory remarks about me were largely ignored anyway:

You'll have to read it yourself but it contrasts starkly with what you gave.

So what was the verdict? Are you saying Mann produced the documents and that he won the case?
By:
Charlie
When: 14 Oct 19 09:46
I suppose I should add that in response to your:
Mann refused to produce these documents. He was ordered to produce them by the court and given a deadline. He still refused to produce them, so the court dismissed his case.”

is just nonsense as his lawyer states:
The BC Supreme Court has never made any finding, directly or indirectly, that you failed to produce your data.
The August 22, 2019 ruling said nothing on that subject.
Ball's request that the lawsuit be terminated - for delay - relied heavily on his state of health.

Charley,you cant expect grown men to believe a little girl with autism who has been brainwashed to say these lies surely? Far better way to seek the truth is to type in H.A.A.R.P and the first thing you will see is "NASA SATELLITE IMAGERY REVELS SHOCKING PROOF OF CLIMATE ENGINEERING". It then goes on to say what this means to our planet and who is really controlling the climate. Im sure chaz you will be delighted to find out the real truth,its all there look it up.

Any allegation that we did not provide materials ordered by the court is a baseless, malicious falsehood. There was no such court order. I am amazed that anyone with an ounce of common sense would dare make such a specious accusation.

Major polluters are doing very little in the way of addressing greenhouse gasses themselves.
Yet you'd expect a country like China to go overboard to clean up their act considering the smoke swirling around in their cities.

So why are the major polluters doing so little, and the minor polluters such as the UK doing so much in comparison? 
The first part of the answer is simple, the science isn't trustworthy and they don't believe the made up figures.

The second is that vested interests now have a firm grip on the narrative in the UK.

Then why do the major polluters give lip service to the global warming loons?
That's easy as well, because they're the ones manufacturing the renewables which we're buying!

Ok Charlie, Lets flip this, Where is your actual evidence that global warming and climate change are issues that are any different now than say 200 years ago ? You have the word of the paid cartel who have no option than to toe the line .

Such is “science,” these days. A researcher can discover anything he wants to, iif it’s approved. Otherwise, the door is closed.

Most scientists know, without instructions from above, the dimensions of their “permitted territory.” They can sniff out career danger from a mile away. This is the accepted norm throughout industry now

GMOs? Roundup? Other toxic pesticides? Climate change? Vaccines? Medical drugs? Diagnostic medical tests? Actual environmental pollution? Mercury? Chemicals in food? Radiation? Nuclear power plants? Fracking? Fluorides?

On these and a whole host of other issues, government is centrally involved as a ruling force.

  There are armies of compliant scientists  ( corrupt fookers ) only to ready and willing to carry out preferred government (and corporate) dictates.

These  "scientists" already know the answers before the questions are even asked. It is what they are programmed to say. It is all a lie built on a foundation of quicksand however those who have been dumbed down by the spiel will continue to dance in dreamland.

Many thanks to Jonny Rap for extracts from his work taken and re used for a relevant post. Grin
