Global Warming...New Report...and it ain't happy news

By the way ican....
You left off the disclaimer included at the very beginning of the MINORITY committee report that states as follows..

Quote:

[Disclaimer: The following scientists named in this report have expressed a range of views from skepticism to outright rejection of predictions of catastrophic man-made global warming. As in all science, there is no lock step single view.]

So it seems these scientists are only questioning the predictions of catastrophic man made warming. They aren't questioning if the warming exists or even if it is man made. They are ONLY questioning predictions of "catastrophe."

All the MINORITY did was take statements of scientists out of context and then ican extended that claim to they were somehow skeptical of global warming. It is nothing else. These scientists did not testify for this report. They were not asked to be in the report. Their statements were just given meaning that may in no way reflect their actual opinion on global warming.

Climate Momentum Shifting: Prominent Scientists Reverse Belief in Man-made Global Warming - Now Skeptics

Growing Number of Scientists Convert to Skeptics After Reviewing New Research

Following the U.S. Senate's vote today on a global warming measure (see today's AP article: Senate Defeats Climate Change Measure,) it is an opportune time to examine the recent and quite remarkable momentum shift taking place in climate science. Many former believers in catastrophic man-made global warming have recently reversed themselves and are now climate skeptics. The names included below are just a sampling of the prominent scientists who have spoken out recently to oppose former Vice President Al Gore, the United Nations, and the media driven "consensus" on man-made global warming.

The list below is just the tip of the iceberg. A more detailed and comprehensive sampling of scientists who have only recently spoken out against climate hysteria will be forthcoming in a soon to be released U.S. Senate report. Please stay tuned to this website, as this new government report is set to redefine the current climate debate.

Analysis: U.N. calls climate debate 'over'

UPI U.N. Correspondent
UNITED NATIONS, May 10 (UPI) -- A former chief of the U.N. World Health Organization who also is a former prime minister of Norway and a medical doctor has declared an end to the climate-change debate.

Dr. Gro Harlem Brundtland, one of U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon's three new special envoys on climate change, also headed up the 1987 U.N. World Commission on Environment and Development where the concept of sustainable development was first floated.

"This discussion is behind us. It's over," she told reporters. "The diagnosis is clear, the science is unequivocal -- it's completely immoral, even, to question now, on the basis of what we know, the reports that are out, to question the issue and to question whether we need to move forward at a much stronger pace as humankind to address the issues."

FULL SENATE REPORT: U.S. Senate Report: Over 400 Prominent Scientists Disputed Man-Made Global Warming Claims in 2007

December 20, 2007

This report is in the spirit of enlightenment philosopher Denis Diderot who reportedly said, "Skepticism is the first step towards truth."

... Man-Made Global Warming ...

ican,

Why don't you post your graphs again with lines drawn for 1975 and 2005. Straight lines measured to designate the exact years. Are you going to admit you made up your figure you say came from the graphs or are you going to hope everyone forgets how wrong you are.

Argo's cool reception

We are increasingly concerned about global change and its regional impacts. Sea level is rising at an accelerating rate of 3 mm/year, Arctic sea ice cover is shrinking and high latitude areas are warming rapidly. Extreme weather events cause loss of life and enormous burdens on the insurance industry. Globally, 8 of the 10 warmest years since 1860, when instrumental records began, were in the past decade.

Sun Myung Moon is the leader of the Unification Church, which he founded on May 1, 1954 in Seoul, South Korea. Moon is also the founder and leader of the global Unification Movement which owns, operates or subsidizes many for-profit corporations and other organizations involved in political, mass-media, and other activities.

He is well-known for holding Blessing ceremonies, which are often called "mass weddings", and for founding The Washington Times newspaper in 1982.[1]

Moon has said he is the Second Coming of Christ, the "Savior", "returning Lord", and "True Parent". He teaches that all people should become perfected like Jesus and like himself, and that as such he "appears in the world as the substantial body of God Himself." [2][3]

Moon has been among the most controversial modern religious leaders,[4][5] and has been widely criticized.

It goes back to B;athams referencing he ownership of the Washington Times. Obviously that means he wrote the article and now Hamburger is making some kind of point that only he is aware of.

Loved okie's claim that Argo data shows the oceans are cooling.

By the way, couldn't you have gotten somewhat creative on your name, instead of "username?" Just kidding, but it does make me wonder about your creativity, etc.?

And this related really to global warming how?

Now that was a truly bizarre comment....
