exactly what the mastodons said...Build your own dreams, or someone else will hire you to build theirs!
Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.

The Heartland Institute is not without it's detractors. The money trail is suspiscious, and it seems transparency is not evident.

I've been studying climatology and the science behind global warming in my spare time for several years now. Through my studies, I've come to recognize the names of the top authors and research institutes. Through following this issue online and in the media, I've also grown all too familiar with the tiny minority of 'climate skeptics' or 'deniers' who try to minimize the problem, absolve humans of any major impact, or suggest there is no need to take any action.
I've gotten pretty fed up with the undue weight given to the skeptics in the media and online. Many media reports aimed for a false 'balance' by interviewing one mainstream scientist followed by one 'skeptic.' On the web, it's even crazier, with numerous sites promoting "climate denial" by collecting names of skeptics, "quote-mining" for skeptical or ambiguous statements, and producing dodgy climate-denial 'petitions' claiming numerous "scientists" as signatories. Most of these skeptics/deniers/petition signers have little to no academic credentials in this specific field, although a handful stand out as widely published in this or a somewhat related field.sigpic

thanks for the link and i will read it
and i know without asking the Inhoff is not your fave, but again, don't shoot the messenger. This is again why the 97% consensus is BS, and that only a simple google search would challenge your core beliefs.
Do you in fact read any dissents to the "consensus" or just op ed pieces why they are false?

well here we are again herb, reasonable people disagree
reasonable minds know the "big oil" argument is not only bogus ("big oil" has been outspent by something close to 1000 to 1 by the government pro-AGW grants), it's completely fair for any business group threatened by the government to fight back.
i show you a list of better than 1000 scientists that doubt AGW, from a variety of angles, that aren't funded by any "oil", and your side completely dismisses them.
yet somehow there is a "consensus"
there is no evidence your side is right. there are hypotheses, that is all.
yet we have consensus

Because people with bachelor degrees in physics are experts in the field. There's a difference between being a scientist and being a climate scientist, but feel free to go to a vet for brain surgery all you'd like.
http://m.pnas.org/content/early/2010...87107.abstract hope the mobile link works for you guys.
There is consensus among those who's expertise is on the topic at hand....or is the National Academy of Sciences not reliable enough and too agenda driven for your tastes?
I'm sorry, but science works on what you can first comprehend/interpret and then advances from there, be it fortifying or dismissing a theory. If you're not able to truly comprehend the data presented, how are you able to dismiss it? Afaik you're an engineer aren't you? Would you really take a biologist seriously if he analyzed your final product without reviewing or even being capable of reviewing the work you did to get to that final result? Of course not, you'd tell him to go pound salt.Last edited by cale; 08-17-2012, 10:21 AM.

"The Manhattan Declaration"
I heard Exxon sponsored that event... right?
"Conference for Skeptics
The conference was described by Washington Post reporter, Juliet Eilperin, as "a sort of global warming doppelganger conference, where everything was reversed." At the event, skeptics unveiled their response to the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change (NIPCC) report, edited by corporate-funded skeptic Fred Singer, argued that "recent climate change stems from natural causes." Eilperin notes that "while the IPCC enlisted several hundred scientists from more than 100 countries to work over five years to produce its series of reports, the NIPCC document is the work of 23 authors from 15 nations, some of them not scientists."[1]
The New York Times reports that while the Heartland conference "was largely framed around science ... when an organizer made an announcement asking all of the scientists in the large hall to move to the front for a group picture, 19 men did so." The conference invitation identified its goal as "to generate international media attention to the fact that many scientists believe forecasts of rapid warming and catastrophic events are not supported by sound science."[2]
The Heartland Institute offered "$1,000 to those willing to give a talk," and "a free weekend at the Marriott Marquis in Manhattan, including travel costs, to all elected officials wanting to attend," according to the RealClimate blog.[3]"
I really dont want this to de-volve into a John Locke/Art Pope/Koch brothers debate (who funded the manhattan BS mentioned above) but as there are certain people that obviously stand to lose a shitton of money over climate change being 'real' it is reasonable to assume that they will defend their money making views in any way possible. If you want to believe in a bogus conference of 19 dudes getting paid by exxon over hundreds of peer reviewed scientists from 100 countries that is up to you.... the only people that stand to lose if climate change is 'real and man-caused' is exxon.... and GM....everyone else gains.

[QUOTE]Anyone working in the field of climate science should have a significant number of hits on this search. The median number for IPCC wg1 authors is 93 articles; for all of the roughly 1800 authors I've checked up to July 2009, including skeptics, the median is 56. For the 386 names I've checked so far who were signers of a climate skeptics' statement, the median is two (2).[/QUOTE]
LoL
70% of the skeptics have fewer than 10 published works that mentions of climate and 60% have fewer than five. At the top of the rankings, there are 25 skeptics who have more than the overall median of 56 works mentioning 'climate', and just 12 above the IPCC median of 93.
Careful or you will debunk yourself.

I don't mean to be a dick but there is a group of us actually putting together an (attempted non-bias) paper to help people describe these issues of climate change to the 'fence sitters' ie the people who dont believe one way or another. The hardest part is finding credible anything on the side of 'skepticism' so it makes everything you do look bias as shit.... and that is the problem. You are not arguing over the results of a DATA set.... you end up arguing over somebody's credentials.
"the must have doctored the ice core samples so that it makes it look like climate change is real!"

Can we talk about data instead of attempting to discredit every scientist in the world because they have sexy/drunk pictures on facebook and/or had sex with the koch brothers?
