Several times now we've seen global warming deniers link articles from the UK Telegraph which have contained misinformation and lies regarding global warming. The most recent one claimed that the planet has cooled to 1983 levels, when in reality we're currently ~0.4°C warmer than 1983.

http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/img/climate/research/2005/ann/global-blended-temp-pg.gif

So what is the deal with the UK Telegraph? Is it like Britain's equivalent of The Washington Times, New York Post, FOX News, and Rush Limbaugh or something?

The hottest year of all was not 1998, as was previously claimed, but 1934.

The EU, Canada, Norway, Switzerland, Iceland and New Zealand in particular said that they would jointly pay developing countries 410 million dollars each year from 2005-2008 under the terms of the Climate Adaptation Agreement made at a UN meeting in 2001 at Bonn, Germany. So far, only 177 million of the 1.2 billion due by the end of 2007 has been paid into the funds. Another 106 million has been pledged by specific countries, but has not yet been paid.

These country are the biggest complainers that "something" be done, yet when it comes to take action, they sit back only to complain that the US should do more.

Does anyone want to take bets that the governments already collected the taxes from the people, and are just too greedy to give the money as promised?

Why don't these countrys help the poorer countries with global warming if they believe that this is an issue that will doom all of man kind? Is it just simple greed?

US satellite figures shows temperatures having fallen since 1998, declining in 2007 to a 1983 level - not to mention the newly revised figures for US surface temperatures showing that the 1930s had four of the 10 warmest years of the past century, with the hottest year of all being not 1998, as was previously claimed, but 1934.

News services are now reporting that satellite data is showing that temperatures have be in a decline since 1998, and current temperatures are now at the 1983 levels.

Do you see "global warming" as over? Do you see that temperatures are no longer increasing?

Or do you agree with scientist like Stephen Hawkins who claim that the Earth's temperatures will be 450 degrees and it will be raining sulfur?

What do you think:
1. It's a natural variation and has nothing to do with global warming
2. It's due to global warming (which human activities don't have any impact on)
3. It's due to global warming (and due to human activities)
4. The statement is not true.

Any other comments?

Lately I always hear on the news or current affairs about the latest glacier thats melted or major flooding etc which starts to bore me after a while and listening the so called greenies and experts that we are all doomed.
After all should I give up my life style of travelling in big jumbo jets, driving my car,buying endless amount of clothes and shoes, and anything that uses electricity whether it comes from renewable sources or not.
Personally I think its a big scam

In 1971 climate scientist Dr. S. I. Rasool and S. H. Schneider stated that the earth was heading into an ice age in a article published in Science Magazine (Science 9 July 1971:Vol. 173. no. 3992, pp. 138 - 141). I often read answers here posted by the armchair climate sceptics stating that because we are not in an ice age today that climate scientists don't know what they are talking about. My question is, based on the article listed above which is the source of the ice age argument, why do you think Rasool and Schneider were wrong about predicting the ice age?

There is a major difference between listening to some self proclaimed expert spoon feeding you psuedo science and getting into the real science of climate change.
You can get your psuedo science through right-wing news sources, or you can getting your information through scientific journals. Are climate sceptics just too lazy to find out the real facts behind the warming?

Any trend. out of the time since the planet existed to now has been very long. We have only been keeping track of records for a very small time compared to that. It almost seems like you flip a coin 2 times and heads turned up both times. Then people argue that heads will always turn up and then they argue that the data says so.

Who would actually be willing to help stop global warming? Most people sit around, waiting fo someone else to act. Or, some people wait for the government to deal with it. Some people in America are helping stop global warming, but not the amount that should be helping. Global warming is a big issue and needs to be dealt with. It may be a ntural occurance, but humans are contributing a lot in it (the ocean may be giving off CO2, but so are we, and the numbers may be small, but we're helpin giving off CO2 with all of them factories..)

People are always posting about deforestation. Do you realize that there are now much more than the 217 million that were planted back in the 30's. A one hundred mile wide strip of the USA was planted from North Dakota to Texas. My family owns land in this strip. Over Thanksgiving, I was looking at old ariel photos that were taken back in 1950 and comparing to the present. These forests have doubled in size since then. New trees have sprouted all around the old ones. You can see it in the photos.

Here are some pictures that I took this month while hunting.
Most of these trees were not there prior to 1930.

I saw a bumper sticker that said it was a hoax. I didn't want to believe humanity could really be this stupid, so I shrugged it off as a joke. But tell me, are there really people who don't believe it to be true?

Have a look at the presidential candidates on the following link to see how they stand on all the issues. I am leaning towards Ron Paul because, I think we spend way too much money on climate science and most government programs for that matter. I also like the idea of reducing our roll as "world police", but I'm not sure that a sudden withdrawl of the troops from Iraq is a good thing. Who do you like and why?

A certain global warming denier has made this claim. Here is the NY Times news story about it:

"Two weeks ago, detectors aboard a converted spy plane flying over New England and eastern Canada recorded the highest level of chlorine monoxide, an ozone-destroying chemical, ever measured anywhere around the globe. The level was half again as large as the amount recorded over Antarctica, the site of the infamous ozone hole discovered in October 1985.

The team of scientists who reported these findings in Washington on Monday could not predict when an ozone hole might open above North America. But they said that the level of ozone-thinning "precursors" -- chlorofluorocarbons (CFC's)...might soon expose large parts of the globe to increased cancer-causing ultraviolet rays from the sun.

http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9E0CEFD61E3EF936A35751C0A964958260

Was NASA and/or their instruments lying to elect Clinton? Or did our CFC reductions simply avoid this scenario?

What I mean is that you say that the scientist who realize that global warming is a natrual cycle are funded by the big oil companies. The scientist who "believe" global warming is real need to be funded by somone to. or do you forget to mention that they are funded by liberals.

Global warming is a hoax, invented in 1988, that combines old myths including limits to growth, sustainability, the population growth time bomb, the depletion of resources, pollution, anti-Americanism and anti-corporate sentiment and, of all things, fear of an ice age. Those that espoused and supported the old myths have joined forced into a new group called “Environmentalists.”

Most environmentalists have no technical or scientific credentials whatsoever. What they have are major news outlets ready and willing to publicize their every utterance regardless of whether or not they are backed up by scientific proof. Atmospheric science requires highly technical knowledge and skills, not possessed by the vast majority of the so-called environmentalists, who yet feel qualified to demand that human activity subjugate itself to the whims of their new deity, Mother Nature.
