Top Ten Reasons Climate Change is a Hoax

TopTenAlGore2

By Elmer Beauregard

The Senate voted this week on whether Climate Change is real or a hoax, I think it’s a hoax and here’s why.

I’m sure you’ve heard in the news that 2014 was supposed to be the hottest year ever. If it actually was “hottest year ever” you’d think all the terrible calamities that are supposed to happen would be happening now but instead the opposite is happening.

1. Record Ice

In 2014 there was record sea ice in Antarctica  in fact a global warming expedition got stuck in it. Arctic sea ice has also made a nice comeback in 2014. The Great lakes had record ice Lake Superior only had 3 ice free months in 2014. You’d think that in the hottest year ever that ice would be melting like Al Gore said.

2. Record Snow

2014 saw record snowfall in many areas, remember when they said that global warming would cause snow to disappear and children won’t know what snow is.

3. Record Cold

In 2014 we saw all kinds of cold records remember the Polar Vortex? You’d think that we’d be breaking all kinds of heat records in “the hottest year ever”

4. Oceans Are Rising Much Less Than Predicted

Al Gore predicted that oceans would rise 20 feet by 2100, it looks like were on track for about a foot. 80% of the tide gauges show less rise than the official “global average”. Many tide gauges show no rise in sea level, and almost none show any acceleration over the past 20 years.

5. Polar Bears Are Thriving

You’d think that Polar Bears would really be in trouble in 2014 “the hottest year ever” but they are thriving.

6. Moose Are Making A Comeback

A few years ago the moose population in Minnesota dropped rapidly and they immediately blamed global warming, then they did a study and found out it was actually wolves that were killing the moose. Wolves have been taken off the endangered species list and are now endangering other species so they opened a wolf hunting season in Minnesota and the moose are coming back. It turns out it had nothing to do with global warming in fact the years when the moose population declined were some very cold ones.

7. 99% of Scientists don’t believe in Catastrophic Man-Made Global Warming

You’ve probably heard over and over that 99% of scientist believe in global warming well the opposite is true. That talking point came from a study where only 75 scientists said they believe in global warming on the other hand over 31,000 scientists have signed a petition saying they don’t believe in Catastrophic Man-Made Global Warming.

8. Nature produces much more CO2 than man

In 2014 NASA finally launched a satellite that measures CO2 levels around the globe. They assumed that most of the CO2 would be coming from the industrialized northern hemisphere but much to their surprise it was coming from the rainforests in South America, Africa and China.

9. It Isn’t Actually the Warmest Year.

If you look at the satellite data 2014 was not the warmest year ever in fact there has been no global warming for over 18 years. The Reason they can say it’s the warmest year is because they are using the ground weather station data which is heavily influenced by the Urban Heat Island effect, many of which are near pavement. Even still they had to cherry pick that data to get at the warmest year ever and it is only the warmest by only two-100ths of a degree within a dataset that has a variability of a half of a degree. The fact they they had to ignore accurate data and fudge sketchy data to push their agenda proves (IMHO) that climate change is a hoax.

10. The Hypocrisy of the Main Players

One of the main reasons you can tell that global warming is a hoax is that the main purveyors of global warming live lifestyles opposite of what they preach, they all own multiple large homes and yachts and they fly around the world in private jets pushing their propaganda. Not to mention some people such as Al Gore actually profit from Carbon Taxes and other green energy laws. If they actually believed what they preached they would be leading quite different lives.

    More of these topics detail why it hasn’t been an issue or an attack on the people and their original claims, rather than disproving points on anthropogenic climate change. I think you should find more points that as a trend negate the climate change hoax.

    You global warming enthusiasts just ignore the facts that are put forth above. And forget scien-bleeping-tists. Ninety-nine percent of the world’s climatologists, those who make their living studying climate, not the forecast for the next few days — climate — those with doctorate’s in that field — do not believe man is causing global warming and there has been no warming for 18 years and that the warming there was for 8-10 years prior was so minimal it did not come close to warranting all the time that each of us could find something better to do than responding to it herein. Wake up!

  5. edjweaver February 22, 2016 at 5:15 pm #

    NASA scientists. Yeah. Roy Spencer used to run NASA’s climate unit. He is now at the University of Alabama-Huntsville and is STILL the western hemisphere’s top climatologist and he has outlined clearly the myth of man-caused global warming. It takes courage to accept the truth that goes against what you’ve always “believed” and it appears many of you lack such courage.

    Can we all agree that global warming is being caused by extra-terrestrial life forms and is not greatly influenced by mankind.

  9. Martyr March 2, 2016 at 12:30 am #

    Can anyone give me a logical explanation of why people do not believe in global warming? I feel like those people take these issues and just pleasure themselves in creating controversies and further complicating solving the problem. It’s pretty obvious that the earth is warming up.

    • Dave March 2, 2016 at 11:49 pm #

      Hi M,

      Mostly because its not that simple and its not settled as fact, not even close. Read and learn and take some time for this. You need to answer your own questions. A lot of other answers, on this site for instance, are for entertainment or rants.

      Start with this: 75-95% of the global warming effect is caused by clouds. Co2 is just sliver fraction of the total, and then the discussion about man’s role is just another small fraction of that.

      You will want to ask why this is a topic at all and try to figure that out; money, politics, etc. But don’t go there. Thats the ranting and conspiracy theories.

      But get the facts n a row and you can get your belief started from a clear position. You may well then want a logical explanation why people are believing in this non issue. And then start to see the human and world loss over al the energy and good peoples valuable attention being wasted, instead of feeding and helping the many in (real) needs.

      • Martyr March 3, 2016 at 2:30 pm #

        Thanks Dave. This really helped. I do agree that many of the posts regarding the opposing view on climate change, on this website in particular, are made for entertainment.

        Are you sure about the clouds causing the warming effect? If this is true, us humans should try ourselves to limit the amount of CO2 put into the air, even if it is just a small fraction of the cause.

        Also, the logic behind these theories is that the Earth goes through warming and cooling cycles, and this is a part of the cycle, but it is better to be safe than sorry.

        • Dave March 3, 2016 at 3:10 pm #

          You should be able to double check me easily on the clouds/greenhouse. To weed through the articles, they don’t classify clouds as a gas. So search Largest Greenhouse Contributor, not largest green house gasses contributor. Then you will see it from other sources as well.

          Thanks, and we are going to be alright, believe me! Contribute as you can, but Co2 is not pollution. Its plant food. Hate DDT and monoxides and bad pollutions will actually help the world.

        • Dave March 3, 2016 at 3:25 pm #

          Water vapor accounts for the largest percentage of the greenhouse effect, between 36% and 66% for clear sky conditions and between 66% and 85% when including clouds.

          Look for articles that want to talk about greenhouse contributors, and not just the gases, which should only be a sub category, compared to water vapor. Thx D

          • Princess Peach March 3, 2016 at 4:01 pm #

            Wow, that’s a real eye opener. But we still have the issue of the weather getting warmer. Even if the problem isn’t caused by humans, the problem is still present, whether we like it or not.

          • Dave March 3, 2016 at 4:58 pm #

            HI Peach! You know how I look at it. I think it is a solar system thing. And I wonder what control we can actually have over this scale of an issue. The sun!

            Greenland was green 6-800 years ago, and all the Vikings died off as it froze to what it is today. We live in systems bigger than us, bigger than we can fathom and something that will always be changing. Change is awful for humans, and we hate it. We want security.

            And there is more. We have a tendency to blame ourselves. The human race has a complex! At the same time we tend to think we can influence huge things, we once were the center of the universe, our sins caused the plague and we flagellate ourselves, etc. We have a little Napoleon in us all! Sounds ridiculous now, I know! But 500 years ago it felt like today to them.

            So I am in for whatever we can do. Ill do my part. But understanding our inherent frailty needs to be explored as well. Imagine if all this energy was directed on feeding everyone for a day.

            Read some history. See how this is all about a minuet percentage of a non pollutant, within a scale of galactic proportion of which we are just beginning to measure, much less understand. We don’t know. And when we don’t know, we fill it in for fear of the unknown, and repeat history.

            Ok, Thx D

            Peach, please don’t listen to this guy, or anyone on this site for that matter who thinks climate change isn’t real and human induced.

            Dave is using the typical climate change denialist theories such as
            1. It’s caused by clouds
            -clouds do make up a large percentage of greenhouse gas but CO2 adds to the positive feedback loop.

            2. Greenland used to be green (lol)
            It wasn’t that green, in fact Vikings named it Greenland so people would go their and not to their real home “Iceland” which was named that to keep foreigners out.

            If you have an email I would like to send you a site that has a scientific response to all these classic denialist theories.

          • Princess Peach March 10, 2016 at 2:17 pm #

            So, are you claiming that global warming is happening?

          • Dylan Gerard March 10, 2016 at 6:00 pm #

            Climate change is real. Anyone who thinks otherwise is a conspiracy theorist or has no education in environmental science.
            I think the real issue isn’t the climate, however, it’s our dependence on fossil fuels from unstable places of the country. We need to invest in renewable energy to get out of the Middle East.

          • Princess Peach March 10, 2016 at 6:06 pm #

            I completely agree with you. I always thought it was real, but after seeing how messed up politics are these days, I didn’t know what to believe (even if it was blatantly obvious). The government has been involved, which is why I also got confused on what I believed.

          • Dylan Gerard March 10, 2016 at 6:10 pm #

            I know how you feel, but this isn’t a political matter, it’s a science. Glad I could save one soul on this hell of a website! And candidates such as trump and Cruz say that it doesn’t exist but that’s to promote their political agenda…

          • Princess Peach March 11, 2016 at 4:57 pm #

            Yeah, I guess my brain got tangled up. But, I totally agree that it isn’t political, and it DEFINITELY is happening.

  10. Heather Paladini March 4, 2016 at 3:30 pm #

    This article is a joke to read, based on lack of proper punctuation and grammatical errors alone. It is hard to believe a literate person with any understanding of anything actually wrote this, much less someone with a background in climate science (or any science for that matter). I can’t believe people buy these crazy claims and contorted ‘facts’ used to support the climate-change deniers’ conspiracy theories. I wish people would try to actually learn, objectively, something about science before jumping to these crazy conspiracy theories and denying science and fact.

    I’ve noticed for years that the official low temperature for practically every locale I’ve ever looked at on Accuweather, is several degrees higher than the actual low that registered in real time. I’ve seen this in my own town, over and over again. I’m not sure if there is some legit reason for this, but if not, and this type of fudging is used by global warming advocates, then it’s no wonder we have supposed rising temperatures.

  12. bsroon March 11, 2016 at 12:38 am #

    i just point out that the Vikings were FARMING GREENLAND from about 800 AD to a hair over 1200 AD. It had to be a whole lot warmer to do that – and yet we have polar bears, seals and walrus…..

    I point out that Pinatubo – 20 yrs ago blew more CO2 into the atmosphere than all humanity – EVER – and we’ve had 18 yrs of …………….not warmer. Hmmm. How can MASSIVE amounts of naturally produced CO2 cause NO global warming, but your smallest car fart raises the oceans?

    i try to keep it simple for the simple, the “politically correct” because if you have to throw in POLITICS to make it SOUND correct – it isn’t correct.

    They just need to stop trying to make “man made” global warming happen. It is only working on a few idiots, but those who have half a brain knows that it is the arrogance of man that thinks that we have that kind of power. Man cannot control the climate, the weather, or global warming. Global warming is going to happen no matter how much you drive your car, no matter how much electricity you use, no matter how much coal you burn to heat your home. Just ask a Woolly Mammoth.

    The earth’s CO2 levels have reached in all time high during 2015 at 400 ppm. This explains why the earth continues to get hotter and hotter year after year. Humans continue to emit large amounts of CO2 and other greenhouse gases, which act as a blanket in the atmosphere. This means that the sun’s heat is trapped which warms the earth. This unnatural increase in temperature can cause drastic consequences.

  21. mclovin stephano April 7, 2016 at 1:54 am #

    Omg there are is so much information in these reasons that are being ignored. There was record ice for one year because of the extreme weather brought (fucktons of precipitation) by large amounts of evaporation caused by GLOBAL WARMING! Same thing answers record snow as well as record cold. No idea what your source is for no rise in the ocean seeing as the largest oceans have had a doubled acceleration of risen elevations within the last decade. I’ll admit polar bears and moose are thriving, obviously the belief that they are going extinct is a way of advertising and getting people’s attention on global warming. Yes, 31,000 scientists signed a petition against man-made global warming out of 300,000 (and that’s just in the US), but the opinions of the other 269,000 probably don’t matter. Yes, most CO2 emissions come from natural sources, but the problem is that we make extra CO2 that adds to it so much that it cannot contribute to the carbon cycle and it builds up in our atmosphere. I can’t stand your redundancy because how could there be a record for warm temperatures when you already said there were record colds, which can be explained by global warming. And I will give you the last one because I too hate nothing more than the hypocrisy of hardcore liberals.

    Climate Change is REAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is real because the Arctic is warming. NASA said that the world raised 1.4 degrees fahrenheit. So there fore CLIMATE CHANGE IS REAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    In 20-30 years, many global disasters will occur due to global climate change. Some include massive flooding of states and countries, droughts all over, major temperature changes (hot areas become colder and cold areas become warmer), and animal and plant life dying to the point of extinction. It is estimated that by the time these extreme weather disasters start to occur, there will be over 300 million people with no homes. Which means 300 million refugees pressuring the borders of countries to let them in. if no extreme measures are taken to change our lives, then we will all suffer the consequences. It is true when you say that these people who “support the idea of climate change are slacking. But that is only because small numbers of humans are not capable of changing their entire lives due to the pressure of some people in the world who don’t support this. The truth is, if humanity doesn’t get together and open their minds and their eyes to the truth, then the end of the world is inevitable. Even if you don’t believe in Global Climate Change, it doesn’t hurt to run tests to see the truth. When we are constantly pumping chemicals into the atmosphere, we are creating chemical reactions. These chemical reactions come from thousands of different chemicals being released into the atmosphere. What happens after a chemical reaction? A new atom/element is formed. Which means that it is very possible that new and dangerous elements can be created from thousands of different chemicals coming together. This would mean that new and unexpected disasters can occur, and that many other horrible possibilities might happen. I am going to switch to the topic of new, clean, and renewable energy sources. It is good in many ways to pursue research in this area. some good things include efficient and powerful energy flow and usage, but also making the energy we use safe to the environment. It is true that many, if not all, governments around the world are taking this problem to their advantage, but it is only because they are ignorant of the truth like so many other people. A reason why many people disagree with Global Climate Change and the end of the world is because they don’t want to believe it. They don’t want to walk around every day anticipating the end of live because people don’t like knowing negative truths, facts and consequences. They would rather be happy during the now and not plan on being happy in the future. This is true because even now, I as I type this, I am not wanting to believe this to be true because I don’t want it to be true. This is a small amount on what I feel about the world and humans and I hope anyone who reads this will understand my reasoning or at least the, despise it but start to think about it more. Thanks

    I want to address the topics of “Record Snow” and “Record Cold” in 2014. I agree yes there were weather anomalies in the year 2014 which resulted in lower than normal temperatures. However, I do not agree that this information is enough to debunk anthropological climate change. My first argument is this: there is a difference between climate and weather. Weather is measured on a short term scale and fluctuates greatly where as climate is measured on a long term scale beginning at a minimum of 30 years time. It is easy to look at one year and say that all the information circulating regarding climate change is false. But when you look at the global mean the over all temperature is increasing globally at a much, much faster rate than in the past. The phrase global warming in itself is often misunderstood to mean “hot everywhere” this too is false, global warming as a result of increased CO2 in the atmosphere can cause just the opposite in locations. Areas can become uncharacteristically cold instead of warm as a result of changes in wind and weather patterns influenced by temperature increases in both the atmosphere and oceans.

  27. Heather White April 20, 2016 at 3:37 am #

    Numbers 1-3, all have to do with weather, not climate. These are two very separate concepts. Weather is short term trends, where climate is long term trends. For example, January this year was colder than January last year. This is weather. If we want to look at climate change we have to broaden the range to 30, 40, 50+ years, go even further back then that and you’ll start to see that he climate is changing and temperatures are increasing per the graph found on this link: http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/current/annual/aus/2014/20150106_global_Tmean_plot.png

  28. caughtinthemiddle April 21, 2016 at 7:41 pm #

    Let me take apart each of your points.
    1) The average temperature of the Earth does not mean that specific areas of the earth do not exhibit sways in their temperature. If you take the average for the past 100 years there is a trend that overall, the Earth is warming an alarming rate. In fact, the warming trend has caused drastic weather patterns to occur, and in some areas that means record cold or snowfalls. The idea that the average means that every part is always getting warmer and that we experience constant warmth is quite ignorant.
    2) and 3) See 1)
    4) Just because Al Gore might`ve been off doesn`t mean the whole idea is wrong.
    5) Who is the author or sponsor of that site?
    6) The moose- just because the cause of the death was wrongly attributed doesn’t mean their isn’t global warming.
    7) Look at your wording….catastrophic man made…..doesn’t mean they do not believe global warming isn’t happening. Also, I would love to have all those “signatures” checked out.
    8) Murderers kill people so logically it wouldn’t matter if I killed people too, because I’m only one person compared to all the murderers. Inane.
    9) No, temperature is taken from many places across the world. The fact is that we continuously are breaking the record for the warmest year, or coming close to it.
    10) Hypocrisy aside, it doesn’t make something not true because the people telling you not to do it are doing it to.

    • Alan Tomalty June 1, 2018 at 3:47 am #

      let me take apart each one of your points

      1) I plotted the average daily maximum temperature for each day of the year for ~1000 US temperature stations in the US(the number of stations changes from year to year) from the GHCN network (the same data that NOAA uses) for the years 1895 to 2018. 45 million data points and graphed them. most days of the year did not show any warming. Then I dumped all 365 days (daily maximums again) into the same data dump for all those sations and all those years. So in effect getting an average daily max for the whole year and looked at the trend. NO WARMING. the warming you show from your data sets probably is from the urban heat island effect. Dr. Willie Soon dumped data just from rural ares of the world and found no warming.

      2) Every data set in the world of every government agency on any extreme weather event shows there are no more extreme weather events than in the past
      3) In 10 of the 13 weather stations in the ANtarctic for the last 60 years they shown no warming. The other 3 stations in the Antarctic have shown warming but they have done this in cycles for millions of years because of an undersea volcanic ridge. They represent only 3% of the Antarctic anyway.

      4) Al Gore is a liar and idiot who has profited off of the lies of global warming. every prediction that Al Gore has made has never come to pass.
      5) There is 1 infamous liar scientist who studies polar bears and always says they are in danger. There are more polar bears now than 60 years ago. I live in Canada and anyone up north takes polar bears very seriously. The Inuit petitioned the federal government to start hunting polar bears because they were getting too numerous and dangerous. Polar bears will hunt you down and eat you.
      6) The moose are fine and aren’t suffering from global warming like you are
      7) Every last one of all the mechanical engineers in the world that has any specialty in thermodynamics knows that global warming is a hoax. As soon as any scientist retires from NASA they immediately become a skeptic. They cant before they retire or else their careers are ruined.
      8) Your no 8 argument is the most foolish thing i have ever read.
      9) It was hotter in the 30’s and Tony Heller has proved that NASA and NOAA have been faking the graphs. You should watch some of Tony’s 100’s of short videos about that.
      10) The 2 climategate scandals showed that internal emails between climate scientists showed that they were biased towards global warming and they discussed altering data to deceive. THAT IS NOT SCIENCE . THAT IS FRAUD.

      • R. Kooi June 1, 2018 at 2:28 pm #

        “…internal emails between climate scientists showed that they were biased…”
        YOU ARE JOKING, RIGHT ???
        There were 16 Scientists at that little center…of those 5 had an email taken out of context …. they admitted the emails and they admitted it was a joke…

        THE RAW DATA at the small site was examined…and Compared in detail form with MASS STORAGE OF DATA AT 4 sites in other countries….and the data had not been altered….NO ONCE !

        But let’s finish that subject…..
        YOU ARE SAYING,
        that even though HUNDREDS-of-Thousands of Researchers and Scientists around the world
        WORKING on the VERY REAL threats of Global Warming and
        its effects on CLIMATE CHANGES
        should ALL BE CALLED LIARS
        because of those 16 (actually of those 5)

        ‘mechanical engineers’ and the laws of thermodynamics”

        1st.
        There was a poll that clearly shows the VAST MAJORITY of all engineers Understand that humans are largely CAUSING Global Warming.
        .
        2nd.
        “…Skeptics sometimes claim that the explanation for global warming contradicts the second law of thermodynamics. But does it? To answer that, first, we need to know how global warming works. Then, we need to know what the second law of thermodynamics is, and how it applies to global warming. Global warming, in a nutshell, works like this:

        The sun warms the Earth.
        The Earth and its atmosphere radiate heat away into space. They radiate most of the heat that is received from the sun, so the average temperature of the Earth stays more or less constant. Greenhouse gases trap some of the escaping heat closer to the Earth’s surface, making it harder for it to shed that heat, so the Earth warms up in order to radiate the heat more effectively. So the greenhouse gases make the Earth warmer – like a blanket conserving body heat – and voila, you have global warming. See What is Global Warming and the Greenhouse Effect for a more detailed explanation.

        The second law of thermodynamics has been stated in many ways. For us, Rudolf Clausius said it best:

        “Heat generally cannot flow spontaneously from a material at lower temperature to a material at higher temperature.”

        So if you put something hot next to something cold, the hot thing won’t get hotter, and the cold thing won’t get colder. That’s so obvious that it hardly needs a scientist to say it, we know this from our daily lives. If you put an ice-cube into your drink, the drink doesn’t boil!

        The skeptic tells us that, because the air, including the greenhouse gasses, is cooler than the surface of the Earth, it cannot warm the Earth. If it did, they say, that means heat would have to flow from cold to hot, in apparent violation of the second law of thermodynamics.

        So have climate scientists made an elementary mistake?
        Of course not!
        The skeptic is ignoring the fact that the Earth is being warmed by the sun, which makes all the difference.

        To see why, consider that blanket that keeps you warm. If your skin feels cold, wrapping yourself in a blanket can make you warmer. Why? Because your body is generating heat, and that heat is escaping from your body into the environment. When you wrap yourself in a blanket, the loss of heat is reduced, some is retained at the surface of your body, and you warm up. You get warmer because the heat that your body is generating cannot escape as fast as before.

        If you put the blanket on a tailors dummy,
        which does not generate heat, it will have no effect.
        The dummy will not spontaneously get warmer.
        That’s obvious too!

        Is using a blanket an accurate model for global warming by Greenhouse gases? Certainly there are differences in how the heat is created and lost, and our body can produce varying amounts of heat, unlike the near-constant heat we receive from the sun.
        But as far as the second law of thermodynamics goes,
        where we are only talking about the flow of heat,
        the comparison is good.

        The second law says nothing about how the heat is produced, only about how it flows between things.

        To summarise:
        Heat from the sun warms the Earth, as heat from your body keeps you warm. The Earth loses heat to space, and your body loses heat to the environment. Greenhouse gases slow down the rate of heat-loss from the surface of the Earth, like a blanket that slows down the rate at which your body loses heat. The result is the same in both cases, the surface of the Earth, or of your body, gets warmer.

        So global warming does not violate the second law of thermodynamics. ”

        “…I plotted the average daily maximum temperature for each day of the year for ~1000 US temperature stations in the US(the number of stations changes from year to year) from the GHCN network ”

        ANOTHER grotesque misunderstanding of Science.

        plotting “daily maximum temperature” is not science.
        ..
        1.

        2.
        Global Warming Science PREDICTED that night time temperatures would COOL LESS than the norm.

          So what!!!!!!!!!! I have been looking for cimate change or global warming for 30 years and have not found it yet. All warming has been natural. and/or much of the increase you see probably is urban heat island effects. Dr. Soonl looked at the rural areas of the world and found no warming. You are scared of your own shadow.

          • gdbear65 July 14, 2018 at 11:30 am #

            Ok Mr smarty pants, care to explain why global temperatures have increased while the output of the sun’s energy has not changed since they began measuring it in 1978?

          • Alan Tomalty July 14, 2018 at 11:28 pm #

            1) the amount of temperature change of the UAH satellite data set has been on the order of 1.3C per century. That is a piddly amount. A 40 year time frame isnt enough to get a trend. It may be that we will see a lot of cooling in the next 10 years since sunspot activity is low. The main point is that there is no evidence that CO2 has anything to do with temperature. I’m not worried about a 1.3C in 100 years change . Wake me up if it accelerates. Until then CAGW is a hoax. Maybe AGW is real but then if it is only AGW what are you worried about?
            2) The amount of CO2 emissions since that time has doubled and yet the amount of actual CO2 ended up in the atmosphere has only gone up 25%. There are many reasons why temperatures change. milankovitch cycles, sunspots, cosmic rays…….etc.

          • gdbear65 July 15, 2018 at 3:14 pm #

            You did not answer my question directly. They only started measuring solar output in 1978 and it has not changed since that time, so why are average global temperatures higher now than in 1978?

          Let’s see…
          Aug 25, 1635, Cat 3+ Hurricane hit New England.
          Wow what a poor example of the Native Americans made by destroying the environment so badly.

          August 23, 1683, cyclone hits Connecticut causing severe flooding.
          I guess those Native Americans really done a number on the environment then too. I guess all those mass teepee factories the Native Americans had really screwed things up.

          October 1693, cyclone hits New England causing such severe flooding that new inlets were permanently created.
          I suppose man caused this as well. You know with all of the advanced factories and industry they had…

          March 1848, an ice Dam on Lake Erie caused Niagara falls to dry up.
          Probably some prankster college kids thinking an ice Dam would be cool, ooooops.

          1911- Niagara Falls freezes.
          I guess all of the smoke from Canadian Industry blocked the sun.

          1927, great Mississippi flood.
          Too many paddle river boats I suppose causing overflow of water over the river banks.

          2019- Sierra Nevadas break snow records set in 2017.
          Shazaam… looks like the Miwuk tribes have struck again showing that they can make it snow more than anyone thought possible.

          Just a few historical facts that show how unpredictable weather is. How the money grabbing hoaxsters use an unpredicted event to attempt to fleece the masses. And how gullible some are to throw in lock, stock and barrel. Go ahead, follow your mentor, Big Al. Just like all the little creatures who fell under the spell of chicken little.

      Global warming alarmists exclusively use data that over samples urban environments which are not representative of the Earth’s overall environment and subject to urban heat island effect. Satellite data gives a far better data sample showing temperature every where and shows 0 increase in the Earth’s mean temp over the last 17 years.

    This is pretty good.

    They are just hunting grant nuggets and that warm golden feeling of smug.

    It’s nice to know the democrats and libs think just like every other oppressive government in the rest of the world.

    Having established it’s a hoax, however, we should be moving on to nuclear power and electric cars at this point anyway. The big question in my mind is: why are they standing in the way?

    And I think the answer is obvious: they like the CO2 emissions. Even if global warming is real, the liberal elites don’t care–they know that they’ll have a path to more power regardless of whether the warming actually pans out. In fact, they are probably hoping for catastrophic warming…

    Better to wish for cooling though, because warming will cause only prosperity and health as millions and millions of acres of arable land open up…and the arable land right now has higher yields…and all the extra water will slip into the atmosphere and into lakes and reservoirs on land.

    They will only look like fools.

    Im an taking a global warming course right now at the University of Nevada Las Vegas and we have discussed a lot of the opposite to these claims. For one polar bears are not thriving and all and have been endangered for a few years now due to global warming. They are one of the main animals around the world that are closest to going extinct because of global warming. It was hard to take the 10 reasons to be true after that claim on polar bears. Furthermore, regarding 2014 being recorded the hottest year ever it was a hotel year but 2015 showed average temaptures rising as well. With the 2015 increase in tempatures it shows global warmings effect. For example, 2015 was 0.29 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than 2014 warmer than 2014, which was the largest jump between years ever. It’s hard to believe people try to prove global warming is not real when the facts are all over the place. Global warming is real and not a hoax sorry.

    The “99% of scientists don’t believe in Catastrophic Man-Made Global Warming” statistic is completely false. In fact, the exact opposite is true – 97% of climate scientists believe that mankind is heavily influencing climate change.

    “The Hypocrisy of the Main Players” – do you know what these people do on a day to day basis? Do you know exactly how they live their lives and what they do (or do not do) to reduce their carbon emissions? I thought not. How can you make such a ridiculous generalized statement if you do not know exactly how these people are living their lives?

    “It Isn’t Actually the Warmest Year.” Your argument about the Urban Heat Island Effect is just… false. In fact, “Numerous studies into the effect of urban heat island effect and microsite influences find they have negligible effect on long-term trends, particularly when averaged over large regions.”

    To put it simply, this entire website is trash and you do not have scientific backing. The person that wrote this article probably works for a gas company and are probably concerned with protecting their own interests.

    While ice did hold a record high from 2012 to 2014, there has still been a sharp decline in past decades. Decreases in Arctic sea ice are still surpassing the increases in Arctic sea ice. Global warming is causing these fluctuations, 2014 its record high and then 2015 its back to its average levels. When it comes to the Arctic, it doesn’t take much additional ice extent to cause a new record high since sea circles the continent and covers a large area. The fact, that in 2014, there was a record high in ice is because of global warming.

  35. Cheyanne April 25, 2016 at 7:03 am #

    I will just touch on a few of the items listed here.

    I will begin with #1. Record Ice.
    It may be true that Antartica is gaining sea ice, but satellites have been closely monitoring Antarctic ice and in face Antartica is losing land ice at an extremely quick pace. Sea ice is not as thick as land ice. Land ice is detrimental to many of the animals that live on that ice, such as polar bears. Losing land ice is a huge problem, both to use and to other organisms.

    I am also going to touch on #9 It Actually Isn’t the warmest year.
    Over many years, our planet has continued to gain more heat. There continues to be an exchange of heat between land, ocean and atmosphere which causes a warming to the global temperature. Temperatures are not only measured with ground weather stations near the pavement, but also measured using satellites which can give an even more accurate temperature reading.There is a continual ongoing warming happening in our world. Currently, the 20th century has become the warmest in the last 1000 years and will continue to warm.

    All these claims have been debunked. They rely on cherry picking, ad hominem arguments, or actual falsehoods. Deniers/delayers such as the author are complicit in the climate change deaths of hundreds of thousands/year, 88% of them children *(WHO). Those who do this for profit are beneath contempt. Their naive followers are simply to be pitied.

  38. Master of Disaster April 28, 2016 at 6:58 pm #

    NO.
    There may be more sea ice, but it is around for a lot less time. The ice freezes later and thaws earlier. This is a bigger problem than less sea ice, because it gives a shorter window of time for polar animals to fish, migrate, mate, etc.
    Also, just because it is colder for a while does not disprove global warming. It only shows it’s been cooler for a while, and does’n show that temperatures won’t rise again. And where I live we’re breaking all kinds of heat records!!!
    Also, nature produces a lot of CO2, but we are still producing a WHOLE LOT of it.
    And there’s a lot of CO2 production in the southern hemisphere because of all the animal life – and logging, farming, and burning forests.
    Also, how does someone being a hypocrite prove that global warming isn’t real?

    This is the biggest scam in history, and the communist know most people are just ignorant of science, and don’t want anyone too know they are ignorant. They learned this by the other great world scam religion. The only reason they want to regulate CO2 AKA plant food, is because it will kill profits, and cause the US to be a communist shit hole, much like Europe is now. Now if you want proof, just ask yourself why they never mention the only (REAL) pollution from a modern coal power plant (FLY ASH) which stays on the ground.

    Uuhh…reason 3, Record Cold 2014; Actually winter of 2014 in Europe was unusually warm. Remember, we’re talking “global” warming, not “where ever you are right now” warming.
    Of course, you probably knew that, as most global warming doubters are so very well informed.
    Actually, most of the doubters I know are as informed as my cats. Well, my cats are smarted on the subject. When I ask them for their opinions, being ignorant about the subject, they don’t say anything, whereas doubters start spouting complete, non nonsensical drivel.

    This article is why people want to publicize global warming and convince everyone it is not a hoax. Global warming is not happening based on these things that you are counterargumenting with, but it is happening because of carbon emmissions and burning of fossil fuels. Just because we say that Polar bears will go extinct or the sea levels will rise does not mean that they will happen right away! There are always fluctuations in data! If you were throwing a paper plane to see how far it will fly, it will be impossible for the data to remain the same number. Ice caps in antartica are melting faster than ever before! Sea levels have risen 8 inches as of 1880! GLOBAL WARMING IS NOT A HOAX AND IS A VERY URGENT PROBLEM THAT WE NEED TO ADRESS IMMEDIATLEY!

    This link makes a lot of sense to me and the sources have recent data as well. I do believe that the “global warming” scare was financially based and more political than scientific. I also believe that human activity has an impact on the atmosphere but not enough to be considered a crisis.

    have you been to the Philippines or other countries aside from USA that was severely devastated by typhoon? this article is so misleading and moronic. And Assuming that Global Warming is just a hoax, would it be wrong to lessen the toxic wastes exhumed by those factories?

    Maybe its time for another mass extinction. One thing for sure it wont be global warming it will be from shear stupidity like the people who believe in global warming.

    “it’s all a hoax! what if we make a better, less pollutant, more sustainable world for nothing? how dare society trick us this way!”

    Okay, to be honest, this report is rubbish. Just as an example, you’ve compared a study to which the link doesn’t even work to a survey made in the 1990s – which we know was a stall period for climate change caused by the high specific heat capacity of the world’s oceans (for those who don’t study physics, that means the oceans absorbed a lot of the heat for that period and the energy was used to loosen molecular bonds in the water rather than obviously do much else). That “climate stall” did have effects, though – the now higher ocean temperatures resulted in huge storms across the world. It’s likely that Hurricane Katrina was a direct result.

    CO2 coming from rainforests – do you know why? It’s a direct result, not of the rainforests themselves, but of the deforestation happening within them. Rainforests in their natural state are carbon negative, as anyone who’s taken a single middle school science class would know – what’s releasing carbon is the burning of trees to make way for farmlands and industry.

    As for “record snow in many areas” – by which you mean Europe and North America – anyone who’s studied the effects of the Great Atlantic Gyre would be able to tell you that the effects of sea ice in the North Atlantic melting as it is now would influence Atlantic Ocean currents – which are responsible for bringing both warm air and rain to Europe and North America. If, say, Greenland had a massive melting event (whoops here’s a recent study: http://nsidc.org/greenland-today/), this would be enough to essentially trigger both a huge desertification event in Europe, and, in many models, a minor, location-specific temporary Ice Age (what do you think caused the London Frost Fairs? This has happened before.)

    As I’m writing this in my Sydney home, I have one more thing to add; I’m looking out my window at a frangipani tree. Frangipanis only bloom here in December, which is our hottest month. We’re now a week out from winter and in the last few days it’s become covered in flower buds. It thinks it’s mid-summer.

    LITERALLY EVERYTHING IN THIS ARTICLE IS COMPLETELY MADE UP! ELMER B. IS A FUCKING LIAR! THERE WAS NEVER ANY “RECORD ICE”, AND YES, 2014 ACTUALLY WAS THE HOTTEST YEAR ON RECORD! WE HAVE A MOUNTAIN OF DATA THAT SHOWS THIS. ALSO, OVER 97% OF SCIENTIST INSIST THAT CLIMATE CHANGE IS A FACT. WE HAVE THERMOMETERS, SATELLITES, WEATHER STATIONS, AND PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD THAT CAN EASILY PROVE THAT THE AVERAGE TEMPERATURE OF THE EARTH IS STEADILY INCREASING AND THAT THE NORMAL HOT/COLD CYCLE OF OUR PLANET IS BEING SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECTED BY HUMAN CAUSED EMISSIONS! I ASK THAT EVERYONE MAKING COMMENTS HERE ACTUALLY RESEARCH THE CLAIMS THAT ARE MADE IN THIS ARTICLE. LOOK TO SEE IF THERE ARE ANY SCHOLARLY ARTICLES THAT SUPPORT THIS.

    If deniers are wrong we end up with an unprecedented catastrophic disaster. If climate
    change scientists are wrong we end up spending a lot of money on reducing pollution. Given these choices the latter seams much more appealing and the argument that we will destroy ourselves by trying to stop destroying ourselves is beyond ridiculous.
