Let's not forget the "adjustment" of data for the last 100 years by governmental weather agencies 10 or 12 years ago because they just knew the old-timers couldn't read a thermometer. Funny how the older data had to be revised downward. Numbers mean nothing when they can be changed to fit the political science, as they were. ok Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bloodman33 + 22 TJ July 7, 2023 It is time to take the oil companies windfall profits and give it to the green new deal and AOC. The oil companies like big tobacco were lying to us for years! Shame Shame Shame.. Am I a hypocrite? To quote that crazy right wing nut Sarah Palin "You Betcha". I have no problems with that. Buy dht, stng, tnk, vlo, MTDR, PXD, MPC now and make me rich! It is time to nationalize big oil and give Texas back to mexico! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Which chart - the one from NASA that is displayed around the world and all global warming predictions are based on. My little chart was to show that the NASA chart is graphically inappropriate and it is based on scientists being able to accurately calculate the average temperature of the world in 1880. I agree there are lots of other issues with the NASA chart. People see the chart (it looks bad), then apparently "all scientists agree with it" therefore we are doomed! Still have not got the name of any species that will be extinct. Nor any information concerning the accuracy of ice core temperature analysis. You would think the global warming believers would know the answers to these questions rather than telling people to google it. Thanks for your reply and information 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ecocharger + 1,474 DL July 7, 2023 (edited) Here is someone who understands rational economic policy. https://oilprice.com/Latest-Energy-News/World-News/Shell-CEO-Says-Slashing-Oil-Output-Would-Be-Dangerous-and-Irresponsible.html "“What would be dangerous and irresponsible is cutting oil and gas production so that the cost of living, as we saw last year, starts to shoot up again,” the supermajor’s top executive added. Both UK-based supermajors, BP and Shell, have recently doubled down on oil and gas to ensure energy supply after the recent energy and energy security crises. BP’s chief executive, Bernard Looney, also warned earlier this year that “We need to invest in today's energy system – which is predominantly an oil and gas system.” “As the events of last year demonstrated, the sudden loss of even a small part of the world's oil and gas can have severe economic and social costs,” Looney noted."

It is important to show what happened before humans contributed anything to climate. It is up to you to demonstrate that something new happened with anthropomorphic contribution.

It is up to you to demonstrate that something new happened with anthropomorphic contribution. Human contribution began with the wide use of coal in the industrial revolution which started a couple hundred years ago during the 19th century. So the graph going back 24,000 years shows over 23,000 years of what happened before humans contributed anything. Here is a close up of what has happened over the past 500 years. Temperature has begun increasing rapidly since the 19th century. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just showing a graph of temperature change does not begin to do that. If you had studied Econometrics, you would know how to interpret statistical models.

Just showing a graph of temperature change does not begin to do that. As many of us have done over and over for you. The rise in CO2 is perfectly correlated with the rise in temperature and in lab tests we have proven that it is a greenhouse gas. But of course you will yet again say that isn't proof. Well it is proof because nothing else is correlated. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
