This is rather alarming. Any idea if this is legit?
Pro tip: when assessing how biased a source is on the internet, try typing the name into wikipedia and see what comes up: http://en.wikipedia....i/Free_Republic
Gee, I THINK Freep may have a slight ideological bias. And probably is not staffed by professional meteorologists. Just a thought.
If so, I just want to give a big fat "well played" kudos to left-wing parties around the world for such a highly successful power grab tactic! Wonder what will happen now...
Why even phrase this thread as a question if you've already picked a team to join and are busy waving their flag around?
Bro, this is all over the internet on multiple websites. Pro tip - when assessing whether a piece of news is biased, try typing the topic into google.
And? Now its on this website and that makes it less biased?
Your logical leap here is that a scientific article becomes biased when picked up by a biased news media? This is highly amusing to me.
It does. This website states what they think this paper means. They tell their side of the story. Read the actual paper instead, not some guys opinion on it.
Wrong, it's the same exact story cross-posted all over the internet (think it originated on UK Register).
Edit: Oh and @Karalius: Yet you completely ignored Daemaro's post, and you totally contradict yourself by posting an off topic post in a thread that you want to have a rational discussion in...
I fail to see how is his post relevant to my post. Is it about the "cycles" ? I have been told that the ice that melts away (ice caps or whatever it is) never come back. They are gone forever. If it is not about that, I have no idea what you are referring to.
Also I don't understand how melting icecaps and rising water levels are off topic since they are the direct consequence of pollution/global warming etc?
I also don't understand why you wrote that post.
There have been multiple ice ages, swing and miss.
Overall not enough data was used in the OP and the follow post sums up the point of this thread...
Climate change has a lot more to do with temperatures; our atmosphere and wind currents are affected by the fluctuations in temperature and, in recent years, there have been more violent storms and what the video calls "extreme weather events." Then you have to take into account how crops and forests are affected everywhere because of unnaturally arid climates. Recently, in Washington state, I have seen three thunderstorms this summer alone. We rarely get thunderstorms. Why would we get them now? If you can provide me a logical reason (because I'm sure you are exceedingly knowledgeable on the subject of climatology) why we are seeing so many thunderstorms in Washington, I will cede my concern for our climates in the future.
Climate change is much bigger than "global warming;" it will affect everyone around the world. It has the potential to cripple food supplies. It has the potential to put human health at risk. It has the potential to destroy towns.
And climate change costs money. It is economically irresponsible to ignore this. Once things get bad enough, we're going to have to collectively shell out billions of dollars just to protect our own property.
You can take that as you will.

I hate the way you cling to ignorance and pass it off as innocence

If it is a hoax and it isnt real the worst we get if I am wrong is a better earth to leave on, more green eco friendly energy, If the denial crowd is wrong we get a fucked up planet.
So yeah really even if it is only 0.001% risk of climate change you have to work really hard to prevent it since the fatal bad roll will kill you forever

Not taking anything from the rational people here... just a sad topic.
