A question for r/climateskeptics: If the alarmists are wrong, then what's really going on with climate?

Wed, 22 Feb 2012 16:22:08 +0000

I am willing to question the scientific orthodoxy regarding global warming, but I still want to know what's really going on the Earth's climate.

After visiting a few websites, I've noticed that even the skeptics don't seem to agree. some skeptics seem to think that warming isn't happening at all, some think that the warming is real but isn't caused by humans, and others think that it is real and caused by humans but won't be catastrophic.

Obviously it can't be all three at the same time. So I'm curious: which is it? And what evidence do you have that your stance is the correct one?

Skeptics, please note

Skeptics, the conclusion science has reached in attributing the warming world to mankind's actions is, and will remain, independent of your protest and opinion.

It's entirely up to us to decide whether to heed or ignore the advice from the overwhelming majority of our most learned and qualified men of climate science.

Remember, that we won't have a second chance if this world is screwed up.

So, please place your bets

Limited Hangout | The more you know!! ☆✰☆...

Tue, 21 Feb 2012 18:22:49 +0000

Limited Hangout (wiki):

... a public relations or propaganda technique that involves the release of previously hidden information in order to prevent a greater exposure of more important details. It takes the form of deception, misdirection, or coverup ... involving a release or "mea culpa" type of confession of only part of a set of previously hidden sensitive information, that establishes credibility for the one releasing the information who by the very act of confession appears to be "coming clean" and acting with integrity; but in actuality, by withholding key facts, is protecting a deeper operation and those who could be exposed if the whole truth came out. In effect, if an array of offenses or misdeeds is suspected, this confession admits to a lesser offense while covering up the greater ones.

Peter Gleick:

... there has been extensive speculation about the origin of the documents and intense discussion about what they reveal. Given the need for reliance on facts in the public climate debate, I am issuing the following statement.

...

I will not comment on the substance or implications of the materials; others have and are doing so.

Edit to add:

this

[Gleick's supporters now] NEED to pretend the fake document is most likely genuine.

Edit to add 2:

from Greg Laden's Blog:

The best available evidence now suggests that the most damning of the "Heartland Documents" -- the strategy memo which explicitly states that Heartland's strategy is to interfere with good science education in order to advance their political agenda -- is legitimate.

[facepalm]

Edit to add 3:

from desmogblog:

Heartland ... deserves to be ... [for] denying its own responsibility in this "leak," dissembling about the origin of the material and going out of its way to "fail" to authenticate documents that it knew all along were legitimate.

*Ahem*

Edit to add 4:

counters believes

Edit to add 5:

McArdle's latest:

Why did the initial email to the climate bloggers claim that Heartland was the source of all the documents, when he couldn't possibly have known for sure that this was where the climate strategy memo came from?

I'm just speculating here, but this might be the hole in Gleick's story that moves him into new digs - with bars. And new clothes - with stripes.

Edit to add 6:

Heartland president flat-out accuses Gleick of faking the 'strategy' document -

from Tom Nelson:

Joe Bast on video: Gleick "impersonated a board member of the Heartland Institute, stole his identity by creating a fake email address, and proceeded to use that fake email address to steal documents that were prepared for a board meeting. He read those documents, concluded that there was no smoking gun in them, and then forged a two-page memo"
