Scientist: Humans Can't Stop Climate Change...'Too Stupid'

Of course, the laughable implication is that HE IS smart enough to prevent it, while all of us sub-humans aren't bright enough to see his unquestionable intelligence, judgment, and brilliance. I love all of these narcissistic scientists--deities from on-high, proclaiming our ignorance in not "seeing it their way" and understanding their obvious solutions to save us all from ourselves. Didn't a few scientists recently warn against this?

The collapse of a giant glacier in Antarctica WOULD NOT immediate push up sea levels, if it's already displacing water, genius. Thanks for the little bit of injected fear. When disaster doesn't happen, what will you say then? Probably not much, since you're 90. But in 30 years, a lot of the current crop of believers will be disbelievers when they see that the sky really isn't falling after all. So many have already seen through the lie.

He says that a 'a return to the Dust Bowl' of the 1930s would convince people of manmade climate change, but there are a few dilemmas in this assertion. First, what did the first Dust Bowl mean to the people of the day? Obviously, the Dust Bowl moderated...the climate changed--whether naturally or helped along by man--and then reverted back to its normal state (yes, I recognize that many have blamed this event on man). But the Dust Bowl was not blamed on man's CO2 emissions (therefore, another Dust Bowl...even if it happened...would be incorrectly blamed on climate change, given the historical record and this clown's assertion). Second, we're continually told that empirical weather events do not equal climate, unless of course, alarmists say it does. So we're supposed to accept their reasoning about weather events as a result of climate when it suits the alarmists' theories, but when it's cold, icy, and snowy, we're either told that this too is caused by man's climate discretions or that we shouldn't equate weather with climate. LOL! Nice scam, eh?

This is just more radical contorting from a believer who is watching his beloved theory implode. Unfortunately, you probably won't live long enough to be likewise branded as stupid for your fear mongering, Dr. Lovelock.

I will say this...at least you did give a bit of a head-nod to skeptics, and you are calling the Climategate scandal an ethical lapse...because it is!

Humans are too stupid to prevent climate change from radically impacting on our lives over the coming decades. This is the stark conclusion of James Lovelock, the globally respected environmental thinker and independent scientist who developed the Gaia theory.

It follows a tumultuous few months in which public opinion on efforts to tackle climate change has been undermined by events such as the climate scientists' emails leaked from the University of East Anglia (UEA) and the failure of the Copenhagen climate summit.

Constantly Retreating Global Floating Ice

Remember a few summers ago (in 2008) when the North Pole was supposed to completely melt away? Well, now they've moved their prediction forward to 2050. Guess they didn't suspect someone like me would remember their flawed, stupid-assed prediction from before.

At least they're finally admitting to the Archimedes Principle, though you have to read to the bottom to avoid believing that any melted, floating ice will not raise the sea levels (or as they say "adds little"...how 'bout NONE?). Besides, Al Gore just bought a $9-million dollar home on the coast...guess he's not too concerned about all the coastal flooding he prophesies every chance he gets to earn a few thousand bucks for his Armageddon presentations.

Picking apart these stupid, liberal environmentalists over global warming is like taking candy from a baby.

The study did not shed new light on how soon the North Pole may be ice-free in summer, which many climate experts say could happen by 2050, perhaps even earlier.Melting of floating sea ice and ice shelves adds little to sea level rise, because their entire mass is already in the water. By contrast, ice on land which melts into the sea will add to levels according to the equivalent of its entire weight.

GASP!: Warming to Cause NYC Flooding

This article takes a different tact, distancing itself from descriptions of melting polar ice, icebergs, and glaciers, where in the past these immersed icy bodies have been erroneously described as dangerous, if warming were to melt them, raise sea levels, and cause floods (see Archimedes Principle). The writer makes sure to mention only Greenland this time--"melting LAND ice."

The problem is what we saw in previous articles--Greenland's ice sheet IS NOT MELTING. Neither is the North Pole, which had been predicted to completely dissolve last summer (and DID NOT melt).

Wakey-wakey, morons. Or scare yourself more: GASP! series and Dr. Brignell's warmlist.

Warming to make N.Y. vulnerable to storms-study

NEW YORK, March 15 (Reuters) - Global warming should lift sea levels along the U.S. Northeast nearly twice as fast as global rates this century, putting New York City at risk to damage from hurricanes and winter storm surges, scientists said.

"The northeast coast of the United States is among the most vulnerable regions to future changes in sea level and ocean circulation, especially when considering its population density," said Jianjun Yin, a climate modeler at Florida State University.

GASP!: Never Ending Sea Rise Malarkey

Before you read this post, please go here and read about the Archimedes Principle. Let me quote his work, On Floating Bodies:

Any body wholly or partially immersed in a fluid experiences an upthrust equal to, but opposite in sense to, the weight of the fluid displaced.

This is what ship builders know as displacement related to buoyancy (i.e., a ship will displace a volume of water equal to the mass of the ship). Now, after reading that, do you understand how a chunk of ice floating (or partially immersed) in water CANNOT raise sea levels, even if every last bit of the ice were to melt or even if smaller chunks of a large floating ice mass break off and then later melt? If ice is already displacing water, it cannot and will not raise water levels if it melts. You can do this experiment in your home with a dish, some water, and some ice.

Actually, if increasing heat were causing all that ice to melt, the increasing heat would also be causing increased evaporation, and I hypothesize that sea levels WOULD ACTUALLY GO DOWN…NOT UP!

Therefore, if you still believe the thrust of this fear-provoking article below (or any of the thousands written on melting ice caused by global warming that have been written over the past several years with the intention of scaring you to death), you are a complete, utter moron.

If you’re still a moron, happy about it, and like to be afraid of life, please go to the warmlist and the GASP! Series to acquire more fear related to global warming; there’s just no end to the plagues global warming piles upon mankind, LOL!

Scientists Warn of Catastrophic Sea Level Rise

COPENHAGEN — Top climate scientists warned Tuesday that sea levels could rise twice as much as previously projected as they presented the latest research on global warming.

A 2007 report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change predicted a sea level rise of 7 to 23 inches by the end of the century.

But scientists meeting in Copenhagen dismissed those estimates as too conservative, saying new data suggests that sea level rise could exceed 39 inches and is unlikely to be less than 20 inches.

"This means that if the emissions of greenhouse gases is not reduced quickly and substantially even the best-case scenario will hit low-lying coastal areas housing one-tenth of humans on the planet hard," organizers said in a statement at the three-day congress hosted by the University of Copenhagen.

The melting of polar ice sheets and of glaciers are two big factors that will affect sea levels, they added.

Scientists weigh in on flawed AP article

I wrote about this article at length the other day. Nice to see that some REAL scientists are standing up to be counted as critics of all this relentless fear-mongering and propaganda, still occurring in the face of overwhelming scientific and empirical data that dispels the myth of global warming.

Melting ice? Please read the last bits in the article below. Dr. O'Brien makes some excellent scientific points, which alarmists will promptly ignore.

FOXNews.com - Scientists Call AP Report on Global Warming 'Hysteria':

Scientists skeptical of the assertion that climate change is the result of man's activites are criticizing a recent Associated Press report on global warming, calling it "irrational hysteria," "horrifically bad" and "incredibly biased."

They say the report, which was published on Monday, contained sweeping scientific errors and was a one-sided portrayal of a complicated issue.

"If the issues weren't so serious and the ramifications so profound, I would have to laugh at it," said David Deming, a geology professor at the University of Oklahoma who has been critical of media reporting on the climate change issue.

In the article, Obama Left with Little Time to Curb Global Warming, AP Science Writer Seth Borenstein wrote that global warming is "a ticking time bomb that President-elect Barack Obama can't avoid," and that "global warming is accelerating."

Deming, in an interview, took issue with Borenstein's characterization of a problem he says doesn't exist.

"He says global warming is accelerating. Not only is it continuing, it's accelerating, and whether it's continuing that was completely beyond the evidence," Deming told FOXNews.com.

"The mean global temperature, at least as measured by satellite, is now the same as it was in the year 1980. In the last couple of years sea level has stopped rising. Hurricane and cyclone activity in the northern hemisphere is at a 24-year low and sea ice globally is also the same as it was in 1980."

Deming said the article is further evidence of the media's decision to talk about global warming as fact, despite what he says is a lack of evidence.

"Reporters, as I understand reporters, are supposed to report facts,"Deming said. "What he's doing here is he's writing a polemic and reporting it as fact, and that's not right. It's not reporting. It's propaganda.

"This reads like a press release for an environmental advocacy group like Greenpeace. It's not fair and balanced."

He took issue with the AP article's assertion that melting Arctic ice will cause global sea levels to rise.

"When the Arctic Ocean ice melts, it never raises sea level because floating ice is floating ice, because it's displacing water," O'Brien said. "When the ice melts, sea level actually goes down.

"I call it a fourth grade science experiment. Take a glass, put some ice in it. Put water in it. Mark level where water is. Let it melt. After the ice melts, the sea level didn't go up in your glass of water. It's called the Archimedes Principle."

He called sea level changes a "major scare tactic used by the global warming people."
