Same sort of nonsense was said about student demonstrators against the war in Vietnam.

Even if those accusations were true, and "connections" is such a nice vague word, ya think that's why those countries banned Al Jazeera? Remember that it was Saudi Arabia along with the UAE that invented a provocation in order to justify a rupture with Qatar.

Let me see. I cited research from some of the most prestigious scientific journals. And that is what you call unproven academic research? I cite a couple of examples of companies that are actually manufacturing batteries and you dismiss that as theoretical. As for insights...was your claim that nobody knows what percentage of CO2 comes from fossil fuels one of those "insights"? What you call insights a rational observer would call "making things up" or maybe science fiction.

Actually, they didn't fail to respond. Rather they dismissed research from one of the most prestigious, maybe the most prestigious, scientific journal in the world.

Truly bizarre comment from oppositeworld. In the past, before Oct 7 it would have been considered a badge of honor to be banned by such repressive and brutal regimes like Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Bahrain. Now, apparently, it's a mark of shame.

Well, this is an El Nino year was was last summer. Now that a La Nina is on the way, temperatures should be lower next year. But they're still most likely going to be hotter, on average, than they were, say 10 years ago. There's not much anyone can do to stop this rise of temperature. Even if the world were to achieve net zero tomorrow, average temperatures would still go up for a while before the rise was stopped. And, of course, by itself, Thailand can't make a significant difference to the rate of global warming.

The heat produced by humanity is utterly irrelevant to the issue of global warming. It has never been part of the scientific discussion What is relevant is the effect of greenhouse gases on certain bandwidths of solar radiation after they come into contact with various portions of planet earth.

Exactly.

It may not be new, but in fact it certainly doesn't support your claims about the steady increase in temperature rise. And instead of offering valid evidence to contradict it, all you offer is empty words.

If anyone should be embarrassed it's you basing your case on the widely dismissed work of Dr. Roy Spencer.

I can't believe you are basing your assertions on the graph of Dr. Roy Spencer who can't get his work published in respectable journals and accuses the scientific world of conspiracy. This is definitely not a graph that the climatological research community bases its work on. On the other hand, the graph below reflects the consensus of the climatological community. I have taken the liberty of highlighting the year of 1998 in the graph below the first one just to make clear how tendentious your claim is. https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-24021772

I quote an article from Nature, possibly the most prestigious scientific journal in the world, that contradicts your claim, and you call it a nothing post. It's you who've got nothing.

And as for nobody respecting him, did you read the curriculum vitae I posted. That's your idea of nobody?

Once again, here's that article from Nature which casts a lot of doubt on that assertion of yours: Robust acceleration of Earth system heating observed over the past six decades In this study, we demonstrate that since 1960, the warming of the world ocean has accelerated at a relatively consistent pace of 0.15 ± 0.05 (W/m2)/decade, while the land, cryosphere, and atmosphere have exhibited an accelerated pace of 0.013 ± 0.003 (W/m2)/decade. This has led to a substantial increase in ocean warming, with a magnitude of 0.91 ± 0.80 W/m2 between the decades 1960–1970 and 2010–2020, which overlies substantial decadal-scale variability in ocean warming of up to 0.6 W/m2. Our findings withstand a wide range of sensitivity analyses and are consistent across different observation-based datasets. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-023-49353-1

This is the same James Taylor who claimed that 2015 was not the hottest year on record but rather that 1998 was. James Taylor wrote an article in Forbes claiming that 2015 was not the hottest year on record:49a7 And given his long record of propagating falsehoods, I'm very dubious about his veracity. https://www.desmog.com/james-taylor/ Whereas John Cook is

Tax dodges? What are you on about?

Once again you have provided no evidence. Just empty claims.

Really? John Cook is a Senior Research Fellow at the Melbourne Centre for Behaviour Change at the University of Melbourne. He is also affiliated with the Center for Climate Change Communication as adjunct faculty. In 2007, he founded Skeptical Science, a website which won the 2011 Australian Museum Eureka Prize for the Advancement of Climate Change Knowledge and 2016 Friend of the Planet Award from the National Center for Science Education. John co-authored the college textbooks Climate Change: Examining the Facts with Weber State University professor Daniel Bedford. He was also a coauthor of the textbook Climate Change Science: A Modern Synthesis and the book Climate Change Denial: Heads in the Sand. In 2013, he published a paper analysing the scientific consensus on climate change that has been highlighted by President Obama and UK Prime Minister David Cameron. In 2015, he developed a Massive Open Online Course at the University of Queensland on climate science denial, that has received over 25,000 enrollments. https://www.climatechangecommunication.org/all/team_member/john-cook/ John earned his PhD in Cognitive Science at the University of Western Australia in 2016. Got some evidence that he's a known alarmist. Got any evidence to show that he was exposed as a fraud?

Again with the personal comments. Whether or not I am a scientist is utterly irrelevant to the issues at hand. What matters is the sources I cite. Yours are mainly denialists or organizations who get their funding from oil interests.. As for "there are no 100% correct scientists".. maybe so, but some are a lot more wrong than others. I provided links to show just how wrong Spencer is. You have provided nothing to challenge this. Spencer is someone who claims there is a conspiracy to keep him from publishing in journals.

ancient history Battery costs have dropped by more than 90 per cent in the last 15 years, a new report from the International Energy Agency (IEA) reveals. It’s one of the fastest declines ever seen among clean energy technologies, and provides hope that batteries can carry the world to its renewable energy goals. https://www.euronews.com/green/2024/05/02/battery-costs-have-dropped-90-in-under-15-years-giving-renewables-a-boost-new-iea-report-r#:~:text=Battery costs have dropped by,to its renewable energy goals. It’s cheaper to build new solar than it is to operate coal plants New analysis released by Lazard compares the levelized cost of energy for various generation technologies on a $/MWh basis and shows that renewables, specifically utility-scale solar and wind, are the economic frontrunner https://www.pv-magazine.com/2020/10/23/its-cheaper-to-build-new-solar-than-it-is-to-operate-coal-plants/ And that analysis is 3 years old. Prices of photovoltaics has since plummeted. You're living in the past.

Wow. And so a new religion is born. What is being worshipped is the Magic Manifesto without which an election is unwinnable even against a political party that is now thoroughly and widely detested.

It's an answer to what you asked.

Actually, this graph was created by Dr. Roy Spencer, the denialist scientist you quoted above. He and his collaborator, John Christie have a history of being wrong in their hypotheses, measurements and predictions. Spencer actually claims that there is a conspiracy to suppress his work https://bbickmore.wordpress.com/2011/02/25/roy-spencers-great-blunder-part-1/ https://skepticalscience.com/Roy-Spencers-Great-Blunder-Part-2.html So his graph is worthless.

Even before Dobbs, states run by right wingers had managed to make it harder to get abortions. Despite which, teenage birth rates declined.

Such a fanboy. Johnson has not disputed the reporting that he forgot to bring his card.
