And that’s not all, for the week ending Dec 13th, there were 815 new
snowfall records set. December 2009 is shaping up to be quite the
snowmaker. Here’s a map showing continental USA records:
Listen...
Rense isn't right all the time.
Increased snowfall - just like global warming
models predict.
So how's all that denier ignorance working out for
you?

Yes... no matter what happens, the computers are programmed to attribute
it to Global warming. Millions of inputs and only one output, that
sounds like a simple program to write.
How's that faux science working for you?
JG
What is snow, rightard?
And, once you figure that out, figure out how it got into the air.
Heh heh...
Rightards....
Batshit crazy and dogshit stupid, every single last one of you.
Which "faux science" is that?
I've yet to see a single study that's been shown to contain fraudulent
data.
Not one.
Zip.
With all those supposedly incriminating emails floating around, you'd
think that the deniers would be able to produce one.
Science requires repeatable experimentation, not computer modeling.
Without the former, what you have is evidence, not proof. Those of us
who hold science degrees would simply like to see a little more of "the
evidence points to....." statements, rather than "there is no longer any
debate that...." statements.
The former is proper; the latter is prevarication.
JG
Write it, then.
Dodge noted, rightard.
Heh heh...
Rightards...
Tell that to the guys who calculate the trajectories of rockets.

Once the evidence reaches a certain point, there isn't any real debate
any longer.
Take the TOE as an example.
Except over some details, there -isn't- any scientific controversy.
Almost all objections to the TOE are political in nature.
The broad consensus of scientists who study AGW feel their scientific
conclusions have matured to the same level.
And, again, most of the objections are political in nature, not
scientific.

Even your objection is political.

Well considering
1) the raw data was fabricated
2) the models are pure horseshit
Your assertion is horseshit.

I deny fantasy. I embrace the truth.
You should try that sometime...
I don't need to. They know it to be true.

Of course. However, the debate over if we are to that "certain point"
continues to go on.

Yes, due to the continued and consistent experimentive and observational
results OVER CENTURIES.

This is not the statement of a scientist, it's the statement of a
salesman. It's an "assumptive close." It's also the intellectual fallacy
known as 'argumentum ad populum', or 'appeal to consensus'.

Many are. However, there are THREE issues in play here. One is science;
one is politics; one is economic. In my view, the alarmists conflate the
latter two in an attempt to discount the very real issues raised by the
latter.

Wrong. It's economic. Here's what we KNOW:
1) We KNOW that energy usage (BTUs per individual) is highly correlated
to standard of living.
2) We KNOW that alternative energy sources are less efficient then the
fossil fuels they replace.
3) THEREFORE, we can conclusively say that a movement away from fossil
fuels will result in EITHER (a) lower standards of living worldwide (if
the same investment levels in energy production as we have today are
maintained), OR (b) the business of energy production will consume
larger amounts of capital in order to produce the same level of output,
thus routing that capital from other productive uses within the population.
IF we go down the path of massive and expensive accomodation, therefore,
EITHER our standards of living will decline for all, or there will be
significant job losses (standards of living will decline for some.)
With that reality staring us in the face, I do not think it surprising
in the least that people are demanding a very high level (higher than we
have today) of assuredness WRT the human factor in this phenomenon.
Further, we haven't had the entire debate on accommodation yet, which
simply and colloquially put is "is it more economically efficient to cut
carbon emissions or build dikes?"

I fatfingered something, but I did not write *anything* you responded to.

Yea, noticed that after I responded. It was Otto, I guess.

That's a lie.

Seeing a denier write that just makes my day - we
all need a chuckle.
