lol deflecting from the issue of the science

From Spurs Talk?

Science?

This group of racial and political pundits?

Are you joking?

San Antonio TX old white inherited wealth guy in charge of science

Turns out that Breitbart article the House Science Committee tweeted out is a con job



Texas Republican Lamar Smith is the oxymoronic Chairman of the House Science Committee. He spends a lot of energy trying to protect ExxonMobil. The other day his committee’s official government Twitter account tweeted out this.

Global Temperatures Plunge. Icy Silence from Climate Alarmists

Land temperatures have plummeted by 1 degree - the biggest and steepest fall on record. But the news has been greeted with an eerie silence.
breitbart.com


The Breitbart piece was written by James Delingpole. Delingpole is the go-to Brit for climate denial writing at Breitbart, because he writes in a faux-British sarcastic and dry style—think of him as a dumb-man’s Nick Hornsby. The fake “wit” masks the fact that Delingpole is just a liar. The quote that Delingpole bases his attack on climate scientists is an article by David Rose at the Dailymail in England. Climate deniers have one argument that they conflate in varying degrees at any given time:

If the earth is getting “warmer” how come sometimes it still gets cold?

The Breitbart drivel above relies heavily on this story by David Rose. David Rose’s story doesn’t actually link to the “evidence” he pretends to give and that “evidence” isn’t real.

“They’re not serious articles,” said Adam Sobel, a Columbia University climate scientist. “They paint it as though it’s an argument between Breitbart and Buzzfeed when it’s an argument between a snarky Breitbart blogger and the entire world’s scientific community, and the overwhelming body of scientific evidence.”

Sobel said the articles “grossly misinterpret” a few accurate details, for instance that El Niño and La Niña systems play a large role in single-year fluctuations. “The temperature goes up for a couple of years and we have the largest year on record, then it goes down and it reaches a level that’s still well above 20th-century historical averages,” he said. “That in no way disproves anything about the causes of the long-term temperature trends.”

The House Science Committee is really taking a page from Donald Trump by using social media to propagate lies.

However, it isn’t a new thing they are doing. Republicans love to take over government departments in order to defund and abuse those posts until no one believes in those government jobs as having any civil worth.

I'll bet the most ridiculous things the left pundits say top those by a large margin.

Yeah because month long explosions in the upper atmosphere, giant tube casings from before miniaturization to present 'new tech,' assuming solar irradiation of seawater shared the same feedback dynamics as GHG, having no concept of energy storage capacities, using solubility charts to model the ocean, and thinking that the ocean currents would 'hide' warming from centuries ago all the while rejecting peer review and accepting denial blogs both categorically is how real science is done.

they readjusted the soot forcing were shown it and you still repeated the same regurgitated lines.

Having you talk about the science is funny as so in that sense it is a joke.

New from Kockistan

Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources deletes accurate climate science from agency webpage

The site went from explaining man-made climate change to falsely claiming that the science on climate change is unsettled.

LOL...

When someone says "I'll bet," doesn't that indicate opinion?

The last time the Earth was this warm was 125,000 years ago

No worries, mate, Repugs will fix AGW by severely defunding NOAA and NASA, and harassing, firing all the climatologists, while permitting royalty-free resource extraction in national parks, wetlands, and killing wind and solar. See, all will be OK.

The republicans know AGW is real. They also know the science does not say it will be catastrophic.

What real scientists say accelerating, non-stop AGW will NOT be catastrophic?

The consensus of BigCarbon Repug s ranges widely from "hoax" to maybe but science isn't settled, all total bull .

No, but they aren't saying it will be catastrophic either.

You need to start reading the papers, and stop[ reading what the pundits say.

define catastrophic, in terms of climate change. scientists dont call it catastrophic because catastrophic isn't a scientific term

By George, I think you got it!

It is not being called catastrophic except by the pundits!

But you miss the fact that scientists can use regular words, and do.

ok, lets not use the word catastrophics. what are the projected ramifications if we continue the trend we're on?

Well...

Siberia and northern Canada will become tolerable, and fantastic farm land for a growing world population.

More precipitation due to a warmer oceans means faster glacier builds and faster flows, meaning more fresh water.

More CO2 means faster plant growth, and better crop yields.

Since the daytime highs have not been globally breaking records, a warmer night means less hardship on people in the winter.

Should I continue?

Wow so all the effects are positive? This is great news tbh
