How Long Will It Take For Leftist To Get Over Their Global Warming Hysteria?

Question

How long after it is proven to be of no concern will they cling to their agenda?

"Washington DC – An abundance of new peer-reviewed studies, analysis, and data error discoveries in the last several months has prompted scientists to declare that fear of catastrophic man-made global warming “bites the dust” and the scientific underpinnings for alarm may be “falling apart.” The latest study to cast doubt on climate fears finds that even a doubling of atmospheric carbon dioxide would not have the previously predicted dire impacts on global temperatures. This new study is not unique, as a host of recent peer-reviewed studies have cast a chill on global warming fears."

Answer 1

When temperatures have reduced by a few 10ths of a degrees, then they will probably get over their global warming hysteria. Of course, they will probably find a way to blame mankind for the new cooling at that point.

The global warming fanatics don't want to take a serious look at the real factor causing global warming, the sun, because it does not fit their panic agenda. We know that the earth has warmed slightly over the last century following several centuries of cooling know as the "little ice age." The little ice age had disastrous consequences for mankind. It caused reduction of crops, increase in diseases (most notable the bubonic plague) and general pestilence.

And what caused this cooling period? The sun's output was reduced during this period, in an event known as the maunder minimum. Since the end of this minimum period in the sun's output, the sun's output has been increasing. This increase corresponds almost exactly to the increase in temperature over the last century. A study by NASA of the increase in the sun's output since only the 1970s has found that "Historical records of solar activity indicate that solar radiation has been increasing since the late 19th century. If a trend, comparable to the one found in this study, persisted throughout the 20th century, it would have provided a significant component of the global warming the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change reports to have occurred over the past 100 years." Another study published in the Geophysical Research Letters finds that the increase in the sun's irradiance over the 20th century accounts for 80% over the warming over that period. Natural occurances account for most of the global warming over the last century.

Answer 2

Only after decades and decades of "natural oscillations masking the real intensity of GHG buildup" will any of them start to question their religious fervor.

Right now they are conceding that Global Warming won't really get started until 2009 - an amazing 10 years after they warned us about "unprecedented warming" should have started in the 90s.

When 2015 comes and goes with no significant increase in temperature from the 1990s, look for them to spend 2016 telling us it will be 2019 before Global Warming REALLY takes off!

I figure around 2025, when significant cooling is starting to be seen in the climate pattern as a result of declining solar radiation, they'll be starting the whole "an ICE AGE is coming and WE'RE TO BLAME!" scare.

Answer 3

Carbon emissions is a concern. But the focus on co2 as the main culprit of this global warming trend is far fetched at best.
The total amount of co2 in the atmosphere is in the range of .054%. thats point zero five four percent. The models don't support the hysteria.
My granny farting in her bloomers is a more likely happenstance, and shes been dead awhile now.

Answer 4

Take a trip to north pole if you think the earth is not warming up. But it is already known to be of no concern to big business. Only bottom line costs of being environment friendly and profits from not being concerned.

Answer 5

Here is where it is wrong.
"The short time constant implies that GMST is in near equilibrium with applied forcings and hence that net climate forcing over the twentieth century can be obtained from the
observed temperature increase over this period, 0.57 ± 0.08 K, as 1.9 ± 0.9 W m-2."

They can't obtain the full effects of GHG's by measuring real time GMST (Global mean surface temperatures). They don't reveal their full effect for many years. Also, the radiative forcing of aerosols have not remained constant over the measured time. This also hides the effects of primarily CO2.

Answer 6

They will get over it about one second after they discover that it is not the path to their social agenda (puttting the government, with them in charge of course, in control of every aspect of our lives) that they hope it is. As soon as this becomes obvious, they will move quickly to generate the next "crisis" that ony they can solve.

How long will it take to US citizens to get over their fear of an international concerted action over a problem demonstrate through scientific facts (and not by some wacko preacher) ???

They have some over the finest scientists... why are GW deniers almost only in the US ?


ONE PHENOMENON IS FOR SURE IN THE US: GLOBAL ISOLATIONISM

Answer 8

Inhofe's press blog is propaganda. It cherry-picks a few articles in real peer-reviewed journals, exaggerates their conclusions, adds a few non-peer-reviewed summaries, most in captive "denier" journals, and concludes that there is a change in the scientific consensus. This is simply untrue.

Answer 9

Just because it is printed from whatever source does not mean it is 100% the truth.
A picture is worth a thousand words.
Besides anything that raises awareness re our planet and pulls people together is a good thing.

Answer 10

As soon as the world's leading economic actors begin costing presently uncosted environmental capital, this issue will no longer be humanity's #1 extinction threat and other issues can gain primacy.
