It's Hot (What if Global Warming is Here?)

You might also consider that the scientist who wants to study the reduced flow in Tibetanian rivers get funding, while the poor guy who wants to study the benefits of hydrocarbon production, gets nothing.

You are comparing the salaries of scientists vs oil company employees.

 

This is a trope among less well informed posters, that Global Warming is just a scheme to enrich graduate students.

You are grouping oil field working together with Global Warming PhD scientists, THANKS!.

Deep down behind our rough looks and faul language, I knew we were smart people.

Unless of course your are saying that the warming scientists are a bunch of idiots ???? ??????

No, I am saying that oil company employees make more money than scientists in universities.

The satellite readings post 1979 are questionable as they've changed the satellite measuring equipment 3x since 

You don't seem to understand the concept of calibration. 

 

If you don't know how things work, then you don't trust the results. Which makes you think scientists are idiots.

 

 

I would bet money that, if you were in charge, you could figure out a way to make sure that temperature measurements could me made valid across decades.

That is just because we are smarter.

If you are interested, I can actually prove to you with 100% certainty that Global warming will NOT cause any significant sea level rise.

Why will the 2 sides never agree on this?   Because most humans are either 

Malthusians or Cornucopians.  

 

Malthusian environmental philosophy:  Global warming/climate change has been the indirect or direct cause of death of many people already, and will get worse

Famine and starvation is increasing in many parts of the world.  Malnutrition as well as disease, infection, etc... in poor countries.  All related to overpopulation and limited resources as a result of overpopulation and climate change (soil erosion, droughts)

 

The simplistic opposing Cornucopian viewpoint:  environmental problems faced by society either do not exist or can be solved by technology or the free market.

 

Interesting fact: Over half of all scientists work in the field of saving human lives (medical industry)  or building/designing weapons of war  (Military industrial complex) ....how incongruous is that?

Got a different take on that, but agree, 2 kinds of people:

... those that believe & trust all the BS they're told

 

... those that don't trust anything they are told, as been told so many lies in the past, they now know better.

 

If there is money to be make, then I don't believe a damn thing they tell.

Yet temperatures fell since 2016. "Could" is a forecast ie guess not reality.

I was replying to a post on sea levels not temperatures, regards modeling forecasts they have actually been quite accurate, the most respected ones fall within a decent margin, some below and some above actual temp rise. 

 

"Climate models published since 1973 have generally been quite skillful in projecting future warming. While some were too low and some too high, they all show outcomes reasonably close to what has actually occurred"

 

Here's just one example of many from this article, this one is from IPCC. The forecast is the black bold line, the others are the actual temperature recordings. 

 

 

This one from Hansen

Nope.

 

You have fallen for the lie that grad students are faking data for the big bucks. Let me ask you this: If a scientist wanted to make money, wouldn't they take a job with the oil companies and claim that Global Warming isn't real?

No current warming. Cooling since 2016

No warming since 2015.

What nonsense is that, coming up with one temperature that is Thailand! 

 

Temperatures in the North are vastly different from the South, both vary greatly by month of year, etc etc etc. To say that Thailand has cooled is utter carp.

Topic is about Thai temperatures. The world temps are given as one average too.

Learn to read the data then. The headline is pure spin. If 2020 is only top 3 ie not hotter than 2016 then it hasn't warmed.

 

These spin doctors survive on grants. They can't tell the truth ie it cooled a bit.
