  1. "Consensus" of scientists can't contradict facts as scientists know them, since "consensus" in science is not the same as the word in it's daily use, same as with "theory". "Consensus" is not based on opinions, debates and voting, it's based on verified research.

  2. Conservative USSA Stupidity can be enraging, in case you didn't knew already. So, be warned.  8D P.S. I just looked who +1 this and... Oh the irony, someone just doesn't get it, amazing!  8D

  3. Cameron Rodriguez Repeat for the "n-th" time. "Consensus" of scientists is not the of the same meaning as the word "consensus" in our dailyuse, it is not just belief or opinion.

  4. Roberto Castillo First, scientific "consensus" is not the same as our daily meaning of it, it's NOT an opinion, it's a conclusion based on evidence. OK, a demonstration, scientists who agree with human caused warming = A, whose who disagree, don't agree completely or doubt = N So this is how 97% (I'm generous, usually people say 98%) vs 3% looks like: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNN

  5. Conservative USSA I'm a pig, what's your excuse?

  6. Oh, nice... "I don't know a censored about it, but I doubt it's real"... Censored!

  7. bigzzzt Sure, just because 1 of IPCC (what was it? 1400 papers routinely processed to make their report) scientist MIGHT have said something 30 years ago, let's ignore everything else! I'm not even sure it's true, since, as far as I know, there was only one paper in 1970s that suggested new ice age, it got debunked almost instantly, yet the idea is still in the popular culture.

  8. bigzzzt Wasn't cooling or at least lack of warming also human driven? As far as I know, it was caused by aerosols, small particles we threw out in the atmosphere. Cool! (no pun intended) So let's just do it again, and the GW is gone! Ehhhh... No! There was that "little" side effect - acid rains, since particles driving cooling effect was of sulfuric compounds, which then turn into sulfuric acid.  P.S. Also, talking of being tired of doing googling for others. How many times you have been reminded, IPCC does NO RESEARCH on climate change? If none, I'm happy to inform you. It only makes a summary of research done by scientists, so this organisation can't make shit up, unless it contradicts "scientific consensus".

  9. Demeter Ákos Care to give his own explanation (a bit awkward one and sounds like an exuse, I admit) to this quote? "If excessive smoking actually plays a role in the production of lung cancer, it seems to be a minor one, if judged by the evidence on hand. A cautious statement indicating that evidence was, in 1954, beginning to point to the connection between lung cancer and smoking."  — Wilhelm (William) C. Heuper But this is exactly the reason why opinions and commentary should not be quoted, only the actual research should, otherwise, as it has happened and will happen again and again, research results will get twisted and misquoted. Just last year (or 2 years now?) media again loudly pronounced a research claiming a coming of a new ice age, except the research actually was about rising temperature, the ice age was only a fruit of some news outlet's fantasies.

  10. Demeter Ákos That's just a half story AGAIN  8D See, I was listening to podcasts from Australian expedition sent to take samples from that ice sheet, they got stuck and were rescued by Chinese. First, Al Gore doesn't matter, he s just a guy I don't give a ... about, not a scientist. Second, sea ice has grown only in Eastern Antarctica, not the rest of it. Third and most important, it's not continental glaciation, that has shrunk insanely small, but sea ice, not icebergs, it's volume, contrary to area, is minuscule compared to continental ice. And don't forget, Arctic ocean s losing ice cover, Scandinavians are already building sea ports for a northern route to China. There are several speculations: winds, currents etc. I suspect, part of it is melting of large glaciers, since they are made of fresh water, which freezes sooner and melts later than salty ocean (there is aprox. 2°C difference or 4, if you sum it both freezing-melting cycle directions), therefore ice cover stays longer, actually it stays whole year and accumulates new layers of freshly frozen ice, so it get's thicker and thicker. There is another hidden catch, since this ice serves as a blanket to the water underneath, ocean is actually WARMER than it was normally, when ice melted during summer, it keeps heat accumulated because of ice, basically an insulation layer, prevents air from cooling ocean.
