Welcome back to the new NEFF. Take a break from Twitter and Facebook. You don't go to Dicks for your fly fishing gear, you go to your local fly fishing store. Enjoy!

Is Climate change science really settled?

I don't get why anyone is allowed to fly in or out of those infected West African countries right now.

I don't understand this either. We know what needs to be done to contain an outbreak, but we just don't do it.
 
Finally, someone that understands statistics. I was only responding to MAC's statement that the earth was in a cooling trend. All, and I mean all of the historical data points to a warming trend overall.
I'm not discussing the whys and wherefores of the warming trend, only that the trend is warming not cooling. You can't refute that historical data unless you have your own numbers from all those years and can prove that NOAA is wrong for some explainable reason.

The problem with all of these "graphs", from both sides of the argument is that you can cherry pic your data points to graph out whatever you want. And all of internet scientists never actually inquire about the quality of the raw data because we've all picked sides already. Its useless to keep doing this.

I agree with you TN and really the point is that much of this is not easily explained which was the point of the article I posted. The latest IPCC report really couldn't explain it either.

This is hilarious. The scare quotes around "'cover up'" are apparently meant to tip us off that nobody was actually told to "cover up" anything. A bunch of countries objected to the fact that the commission chose an abnormally hot starting year for their graphs. That all that happened.

I actually feel like every moment I spend staring at this thread is making me dumber. Like Fox News. Since I know of plenty of other more enjoyable ways of killing brain cells, I will bid you all good luck on sorting out this whole mysterious conundrum of supposed global warming and other Soros-funded conspiracies to deprive you all of your right to die in a catastrophic hurricane induced flood that everybody else saw coming.

does Rachel Maddow know you wear her underwear?
 
We haven't been keeping records long enough to understand what the fuck is going on.

If you actually believe man has the power to fart and increase the global temperature, then I have a bridge, in Arizona, going over a creek on some ocean front property to sell you.

Do humans have an impact on the environment? Of course we do, but don't think for a second that we are the only source for your "climate change".

It's an agenda and both sides are using it to keep people divided. Keep falling for all that mumbo jumbo. Don't forget to buy you carbon credits from Al Gore or GE.

If any of you do want to buy the bridge or land, I will buy you a plane ticket to Dallas, or Liberia.
 
“Let’s beclear: the work of science has nothing whatever to do with consensus. Consensusis the business of politics. Science, on the contrary, requires only oneinvestigator who happens to be right, which means that he or she has resultsthat are verifiable by reference to the real world. In science consensus is irrelevant.What is relevant is reproducible results.” - Michael Crichton
 
Almost 9000 Daily record cold temps in November alone

Almost 9000 Daily record cold temps in November alone

I'm just going to copy and paste a comment from that site:

Hi Laurel, I’m a warmist. I’m guessing you found this article over at Drudge. I’m glad to know that you trust the folks at the NOAA.GOV. I trust them too. This is called GLOBAL warming for a reason. Drudge only ever reports on US temps. The NOAA has concluded that 2014 will be the warmest on record globally. It’s a global issue. I dare you to click.

Hey can I ask where noaa records their temps and with what frequency. Just curious
 
It's not a joke. They have these wicked cool satellites with infrared but I'm not sure that's science. I think NOAA is actually a bunch lesbian biker bands so I'm not sure why they keep doing all this sciencey stuff:

The year 2013 ties with 2003 as the fourth warmest year globally since records began in 1880. The annual global combined land and ocean surface temperature was 0.62°C (1.12°F) above the 20th century average of 13.9°C (57.0°F).

They had satellites in 1880 now that's cool. Maybe you are right though. They seem to have a problem with numbers.

U.S. Agencies Accused of Fudging Data to Show Global Warming
 
The length of time that we have been keeping records is not even a drop in the bucket to actually get true data to compare anything to.

"While the agencies admit the records are adjusted, Goddard and multiple scientists suggested that biased methodology was used to adjust the data to show an unjustified and “spurious” warming trend". That quip was taken from the link Mac provided.

Lets be honest, these government agencies are doing what most government employees and agencies are doing. Justifying their jobs, so they receive even more funding to conduct "research" and don't get fired.

How can anyone believe ANY government agency when the people in power have an agenda? What is that agenda you may ask? How about making everyone pay for "carbon credits". Which is just a fancy name for redistribution of wealth.

I suggest people stop believing everything their government tells them.

I still can't get over the fact we had satellites in the 1800s:)
 
I will forever remain a skeptic to the anthropogenic effects of global warming. While I would never deny climate change is occurring, as our climate has natural cycles, I and not certain human activity is totally responsible for the changes we see today. Partially? Possibly, but not to the extend they want you to believe...

I am skeptical that there has even been one post to GST in the month of December.

Anybody care to check to find out?
