Comment on Senate hearing on the Latest Climate Change Science and Local Adaptation Measures by Joe's World

Judith,

Science has two avenues.
One of recording and guessing and the other is exploring and understanding.
Current scientists have chosen the box of keeping this massively complex process to their theories rather than look at the MANY fields they have missed or ignored.

Jim D, if the ocean oscillations are affecting land temperatures to any great extent, I would be more suspicious of changes in weather patterns than I would be of Arctic ice conditions.

Pekka, the scientists have expressed a consensus range of 2-4.5 degrees per doubling, which is enough for some idea of climate change effects. To me this is a fair representation of both certainty and uncertainty. It is always tempting to say current events are signs of climate change, but they have to be careful to draw the distinction between the long-term statistics of climate and individual events. It makes the need for preparation less compelling, however, and I think there won’t be any action in some countries until the climate-change effects are even more locally evident to them, e.g. a succession of drought years.

On swine flu, my Grandfather died of it in 1919. The worldwide death count in that outbreak is staggering. It was <a href="http://www.vlib.us/medical/mja.htm" rel="nofollow">no ordinary flu.</a>

You have CO2 control knob fixation. Can you twiddle that knob and bring a little heat for us? I need more convincing that CO2 is as puissant as you imagine.

Well Messrs Santer, Pachauri et Al, have ter say, if i was making a propoganda cartoon for schools, it wouldn’t be as tedious and humourless as this one – yawn. And by the way, hope yer not intending to jet off to any more AGW conference bacchanals any time soon? …Think of the li’l kids!

Certainly a great example of skeptic-reasoning.

Scientist makes a statement in a live TV interview to indicate the large uncertainties at play, which a climate ‘skeptics’ turns into –
“studies from the medical profession that confidently predicted hundreds of thusands of BSE cases per year and up to 500,000 deaths a year….. Now we have climate change death syndrome. Its no more credible.”

Yes, there certainly is a credibility issue at play.

Your bias is so entrenched you couldn’t even bear to accept that Mullet was never a skeptic, despite his own statements that he never was, because i it ruins the conversion story.

For balance we need to consider the benefits of a world-wide flu pandemic.

Any assertion that ‘immediate action is required’ is when ‘science has left the room’.

An assertion that ‘immediate action’ is required to stop a theoretical ‘Sweet Meteor of Death’ from impacting the Earth is a ‘values’ judgement.

Well, with a little luck, it might kill off all the libertarians.

The paleo evidence is just a separate line that supports AGW. I haven’t yet seen anything that explains this independently of CO2. The skeptics are a bit short of ideas on the paleo front, I think, and that is a major weakness they have.

There a real shot. It stands to reason that bird flu would go after birdbrains.

Localized vaccine programs are very effective also. In fact, the smaller the better.

If there’s one thing I don’t need, it’s those dang government men messin’ with my local vaccination program. Every member of my family has gotten a smallpox vaccination, and it’s wor……. cough, cough……jus…….hack, hack…..fin……………………..

kim | August 4, 2012 at 10:35 am | There is a descending temperature trend throughout the Holocene. Near, middle, and long term cooling is more likely than warming.

As the Sun churns out its energy, eventually, it will emit less and the Earth will cooler gradually leads to a frozen Earth and dooms to all lives on the Earth.

lolwot,”If this Feynman fellow is as bright as I am led to believe I have no doubt he wouldn’t suffer such weaknesses and would accept AGW.”

He would more likely separate regional anthropogenic impacts from the “global” misconception in order to show the range of potential sensitivities to various changes in forcing for a variety of random natural conditions.
