Al Gore quoted a scientist who stated that there would be a 75% probability that the Arctic would be ice free in the summer of 2015. It indeed was close to ice free during the summer. And since that prediction, Arctic sea ice has been declining.

This topic is about Global Warming, not the definition of scientific consensus. Can you post any data that contradicts the Global Warming hypothesis?

Can you post any data that contradicts the Global Warming Hypothesis?

Can you post data demonstrating that NASA satellite observations of Arctic Sea ice are false? https://www.esa.int/Applications/Observing_the_Earth/FutureEO/CryoSat/Sea_ice Strangely, ESA's CryoSat supports the NASA data: "Satellite records show a constant downward trend in the area covered by Arctic sea ice during all seasons, in particular in summer, with the minimum recorded occurring in the autumn of 2012." Do you think that the Europeans are conspiring with NASA to fool people about Arctic sea ice going away? Do you know how crazy that sounds?

Do you believe in any scientific consensus in any field, or do you pick and choose which are correct? Do you think that the consensus that 1 + 1 = 2 is the opposite of science?

Do you trust the data supporting the Global Warming Hypothesis, or do you believe that's fraudulent?

"Climate change" is a term coined by Frank Luntz, a Republican pollster working for John McCain. The massive increase in Arctic sea ice you mentioned is a lie. Please retract that statement.

The scientific consensus is that the Global Warming Hypothesis is the best explanation for the available climate data. Do you disagree? If so, what is a better explanation? What data supports your position?

What part of the Global Warming Hypothesis do you believe has been disproven? What data supports your position? I suspect you don't understand what I just posted.

Nope. The data is used to prove or disprove a scientific hypothesis. Your internet friends have deluged you with talking points about the term "consensus", but zero data disproving the Global Warming hypothesis. Strange. What part of the Global Warming Hypothesis do you think has been disproven?

The guy posts zero data to support his position, which is that he doesn't believe in Science. Its more of an admission of a psychological problem than a scientific debate. At the end of day, his position boils down to: "how can anyone know what is real?"

Climate change Deniers sow doubt. They quote people who support Denial, and attack people who support the Global Warming Hypothesis. No facts, just political discourse. I post data, you post long trolls.

Arctic sea ice is quickly declining. https://nsidc.org/arcticseaicenews/ Al Gore talked about a 75% chance of summer sea ice disappearing Real Soon Now, but it is really going to happen within the lifetime of most posters here. Why is Arctic sea ice diminishing?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_cooling

The poster confuses public or policy statements as scientific data.

You will note that all of these researchers stated that IF the cooling were to continue blah, blah, blah would happen. There never was a theory of why there was a short dip in global temperature, nor a consensus that the cooling was a real trend. Global warming was predicted many years ago, there is a demonstrated mechanism for it, and a global scientific consensus behind it. Not the same as the global cooling idea that was a minor and transitory thought.

The Deniers are attacking the concept of "consensus" and Wiki pages, but zero about the data supporting Global Warming. Telling, isn't it?

The long lines at outgoing Immigration are made worse by individuals from certain countries who worm their way to the front. Yesterday, one of them was making his way through the line, and I had to step sideways to stop him from passing me. Then it turned into a bit of a rugby match as he was twisting and turning to get ahead of me, until we reached the escalator.

What data supporting the Global Warming hypothesis is invalid?

He can't deal with the actual data, so all he has are abstract arguments about the consensus.

Once again, you attack the strawman of "consensus" instead of the data underpinning the consensus. What data supporting the Global Warming hypothesis is invalid?

No, solar activity has not increased. Your internet friends have lied to you. You can ask them why the Stratosphere is cooling. They won't answer. And without their help, neither can you.

You are not addressing the data, because you cannot. Instead you engage in trolling. If the science isn't settled, what data disproves the Global Warming hypothesis?

You are attacking the straw man of "consensus" without addressing the proof behind the consensus. Classic troll maneuver.

It's the proof behind the consensus that matters.
