Meanwhile, those of us who understand that it is very difficult to tease out natural from man-made warming are very skeptical of the increasing politicization of science.
We're coming out of an ice age after all; I see nothing in the current warming that points to an aberration from what could be natural, asides from the much hysteria about greenhouse gases.
- adrianN 7y agoCollect some data that shows that the current warming is nothing to be concerned about and publish a paper. You'll be famous.
- aldoushuxley001 7y agoShow me some evidence that suggests the current warming is something to be concerned about. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. And AGW is an extraordinary claim.
- adrianN 7y agoThe IPCC reports contain sources with the relevant evidence. Please refute those first before asking for more evidence.
- aldoushuxley001 7y agoso, I'll take that as a no then... Even the IPCC reports suggest that warming isn't as bad as many claim, even though it is overly confident on attributing the warming to humans. Unfortunately, evidence is all too often what's lacking in any discussion of climate science, and faux scientists tossing away skepticism for politics.
- adrianN 7y agoWhat kind of evidence would convince you if the evidence provided by the IPCC doesn't? What do you expect random commenters on the Internet to do?
- aldoushuxley001 7y agoIdeally, random commenters on the internet would back up their claims with more digested evidence rather than linking to a multi-hundred page report that often doesn't say what people think it says.
