oh, pish posh, Mary, that little thing...?
It was only 6 years of work by 2500 scientists from 130 countries who study climate and it's causes and effects.
Don't expect anyone to listen to THAT old thing...

Fun at the book study
by Zico ini know what you're thinking.
how can you possibly have fun at the book study?
well, it's easy to have fun with the revelation book, it's so full of forced interpretations and massive holes, you can just rip it apart (subtly, of course) it's also much easier to question things in a smaller group.

Too much fun!!
That is great Zico- I can imagine the tension... darn those pesky facts...

Warlock- have you heard of proxy reconstructions? Validation/calibration periods? Please look it up - it will explain the whole concept of reconstruction of past climate.
Some recorded climate records go back to the 1600s in Europe. The most reliable records are natural archives such as tree rings: 8000 - 40,000 years of record, ice cores: almost a million years of record, coral records: thousands of years. ocean and lake sediment records: many millions of years.
These are highly accurate and highly replicated from site to site around the globe. These records are dated and calibrated using multiple techniques.
As for the claim that there are multiple explanations... care to offer what one might be?
Using climate models with only natural parameters (solar, orbital and volcanic forcings) climatologists are able to accurately reconstruct climate over the period of record up until the industrial revolution. After that the models do NOT accurately reconstruct climate unless another parameter is added: additional warming in the amount which would be caused by the exact amounts of GHGs emmited since the industrial revolution.
oh, and the_classicist... WTF???

Daystar, I think I have seen you post that before...
It is frustrating when people pull out the same tired old "arguments" that have been repeatedly debunked and are never EVER used by anyone who has read about (scientific articles, not Time or Newsweek editorials) to argue against human caused climate change.
It's been said before on this forum by myself and I certain, others that the scientific community did not back the claim that we were causing ourselves to head into "global cooling". We should be heading towards a cooling trend, looking at the pattern for the last 800,000 years of glacials/interglacials because the orbital parameters that control these things dictate that.
The news media got a hold of that and some information on *local* cooling trends and made a few headlines about it. No one remembers it because the scientific community was not in complete consensus about it or even advocating it.
It is NOTHING like the complete consensus of climatologists and paleoclimatologists today that have found that the current warming trend that is above what can be accounted for by solar, orbital and volcanic forcing IS caused by humans.
The levels of greenhouse gases we have put into the atmosphere is vastly higher than what has been recorded in ice cores for the last 800,000 years, even accounting for the "averaging" effect of the ice layers.
I really don't understand what people do not "get" about anthropogenic climate change. The folks who say that there is no human cause of the recent warming have absolutely no scientific backing for their claims.
And now I don't wish to be offensive, but why do people argue this when they are ignorant of the issue? And ignorant is not an insult- I am totally ignorant of, say, the stock market, so I would never get into a thread spouting off about the stock market.
It is really frustrating for me to even comment on these global warming threads because of this.
Respectfully to all,

Do you know what your last name means and where it comes from...?
by Justahuman24 ini have always been interested in what last names mean and where they come from and if someone famous in the past is related to us because of the same last name.
my last name comes from greek but my family is not greek.
it dates back to the year 700ce and it was around the time in europe when people were starting to get last names - i'm talking about the general people not monarchs.

PAINTED CATS...Unbelievable!!!

if it's the truth..
by BlackSwan of Memphis ini'm finding online people who tell me that they believe the jw's are the truth.. yet they are living a life which says the exact opposite.
i'm not talking about people who are trying to fade.
these are people who specifically say it's the truth.

Kudra
I can kind of get where they are coming from-
Like, I know that it is the "truth" that to be as fit and productive as I want to be I should eat less ice cream and junk food, get up earlier, spend more time in the lab, go running more... etc.
But I am totally not living that right now (though I want to...).
I think it's kind of like that for the dubs, but where this analogy falls apart is that what I described as my "truth" is actually beneficial for me whereas the "truth" in a dub's life is bad for them, though they think it is good.
Hope that makes sense.
